Stars Take New
Type Parts In
'Belle of Yukon'
Not only is International pic
tures' new technicolor musical
extravaganza, "Belle of the Yu
kon," which opens today at the
Liberty theater, itself far out of
the ordinary, with its gay plot
largely devoted to satirizing the
Alaskan gold rush days, but its
stars arc playing roles of a kind
they've never previously attempt
ed on the screen.
Randolph Scott, heretofore a
stalwart hero in everything from
westerns to society dramas, turns
over a new leaf to become a
debonair confidence man in u
Klondike frontier town.
Gypsy Rose Lee, who appeared
in a number of repressed and
colorless roles on the screen some
years ago, now blossoms ut as
a lively and worldly-wise dance
hall queen in the picture's title
role.
Can congress with its present
setup do the job that lies ahead?
Can it give President Truman
the help he has asked? Thesee
questions are worrying many
thinking Americans today. One
of them, industrial engineer Rob
ert Heller, has made a detailed
report on what's the matter with
congress and suggests a fourteen
point program to correct it. You
can see what is in that report
and what difficulties stand in the
way of strengthening congress in
the latest March of Time, "Spot
light on Congress," now showing
at the Liberty theater.
