j Theater RIALTO THEATRE Walkerton The most thrilling adventure known to man comes to the screen of the Rialto Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, in Darryl F. Zanuck’s production of “Stanley and Livingstone.” With Spencer Tracy, twice winner of the Academy Award, starred as the heroic Stanley, Nancy Kelly and Richard Greene starred in the romantic roles, the 20th Century-Fox film features one of the greatest acting casts ever assembled. Included “ are Walter Brennan, also a two-time _ Award winner; Charles Coburn, Sir Cedric Harwicke as Livingstone. More than a thrilling adventure story, the screen play by Phillip Dunne and Julien Josephson presents Livingstone’s remarkable refusal to be “rescued” when Stanley arrived. The newspaperman stayed with the missionary to get his story and the contact with a great soul changed him completely. A profound story of human experience is “Stanley and _ Livingstone.” Extraordinary, outstanding screen fare. “Angels with Dirty Faces’’ “The Angels with Dirty Faces” , have cleaned up some and will be seen Tuesday and Wednesday at the Rialto Theatre in their latest Warner Bros, picture, “The Angels with Dirty i Faces.” The “angels,” of course, are the famed Dead End Kids— Billy Halop, Bernard Punsley, Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Gabriel Dell and Bobby Jordan. Besides the Dead End Kids, the I cast includes such stellar names as I Ann Sheridan, the famed “oomph , girl” who for the first time is seen in j a sympathetic role and is allowed to . show' her fine acting ability. j Slightly reformed and this time on

“Trailer Vagabond” 8 jT^BB .... .. . By WARREN BAYLEY

J TRAILER VAGABOND By Warren Bailej' ' Prairie Du Chien. Wisconsin < | During the past few years many । states and even cities have found it *! very profitable to exploit their state ? j and civic wonders for the benefit of r tourist dollars. No doubt but that I the advertising results obtained by J California and Florida had much to do > with the decision. ’ Many of the so-called “wonders” > j are often found sadly lacking, both in •! scenic and historic value, when 1 , checked into for a possible story. ‘ Such, however, is not the case here in i; Prairie du Chien, where the city, to- ’ gether with the heirs of the Dousman 1 family, have restored the historic home of Hercules L. Housman. The city itself lies at the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers, w’here Marquette discovered the “Father of Waters” in 1673. At this center of the great water route from 1 Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, “Indij ans, French explorers, missionaries, voyageurs, Spaniards and Americans struggled for furs and lead and homes,” making Prairie du Chien the ’ first and most important settlement | of white men in the upper Mississippi I valley for over a hundred years. 65 , years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock it was a thriving fur- | trading center. Naturally, in such a setting, there i had to be a ladder. In 1826 he arI rived in the personage of Hercules L. । Dousman, an associate in the fur . business with John Jacob Astor. The । story of his life, from the time of ■ his coming to the upper Mississippi, ; almost coincides with the history of ' the formation of the states of WisconI sin and Minnesota. During the War of 1812 an Ameri- • can expedition was sent to Prairie du . the side of the law, the Dead End ' Kids are placed in a slum tenement neighborhood. Here, they cooperate with the city authorities in bringing to justice a gang of adult criminals. “Wings of the Navy" Produced with the unstinted co-op-eration of the United States Navy, "Wings of the Navy,” a Warner Bros. I Cosmopolitan picture which effectively dramatizes the thrilling story of I naval aviation, shows at the Rialto i Sunday and Monday, with a cast headed by George Brent, Olivia de Haviland, John Payne and Frank McHugh. About 600 planes, including every I type used by the navy, are shown at various times in the course of the story, and there are several shots in which scores of planes take off or land in succession or are seen aloft ' simultaneously in breath-taking vis- 1 tas of mass flying. There are also 1 many exciting shots of dazzling maneuvers by individual pilots ami sev- < • eral bits of action —including three < crashes—which are bound to electrify I the beholder. i The spirit and tradition of the । ; aerial wing of the naval service are effectively presented in a story that , covers the life of the average navy , ' flier from the beginning of his train- ] I ing to the time when, as a veteran j pilot, he can take part in mass flights of huge sea planes over thousands of j miles of ope n ocean. । Palace Theatre South Bend I The Palace Theatre presents, start- * ing Friday, October 13th, the year’s * most timely drama of Yankee hero- ' ism against U-boat warfare. Now 1 it can be told! The story of Ameri- I can dare-devil Suicide Fleet that s wiped the U-boats from the sea.

T “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island,” j E which features Sidney Toler, Cesar i 1 Romero, Sally Blane and Wally Ver- ; 5 non.

The most thrilling adventure known Chien to select the site for a fort to protect their interests. On the bank of the Mississippi they found an elevation, 20 feet high on a 200-foot base, built by • a prehistoric race known as the “mound builders” and subsequently used by the Fox Indians as a tribal burial ground. On this spot they erected a log stockade which was the first of two forts built on the mound by white men. It was from this stockade that the American flag was raised for the first time over any building in what is now Wisconsin. In 1843 Colonel Dousman acquired the land forming the site of the first for and built what he described as “the house on the mound,’ . . in reality a “baronial mansion in which he lived the life of a country gentleman.” In 1935 this mansion was deeded, by the Dousman heirs, to the city of Prairie du Chien. Immediate restoration was begun, and, as most of the original furnishings had been stored, it was possible to bring hack its original splendor. Among the furnishings are the first piano and the first bath tub over to enter this portion of the country. The entire estate presents an interesting picture of the manner and elegance in which a pioneer lived side by side with the Indians in the early days of the Northwest frontier.

Buick - Pontiac - Studebaker Dealer Protect Homes from Fire Hazards Four ways to protect a home against fire, which if universally followed would save America thousands of lives and millions of dollars each year, were outlined by R. W. Wolfram of the Walkerton Lumber & Coal Company, in connection with the nationwide observance of Fire Prevention Week. October 8-14. “The necessity for using good, firesafe construction when building and periodic checking to eliminate potential hazards thereafter is obvious when one reviews the huge damage caused by fire in this country. This damage constitutes one of the most tragic and useless wastes of propc^rty in the nation, amounting as it does in a typical year to a loss of more than $l,0<»0,000 each day.” Mr. Wolfram's .suggestions for eliminating fire hazards in the new construction are: 1. The outside surfaces of the home, both roof and walls, ought to be as fire resistant as possible. Exposure to heat and flame of nearby fires is the greatest known cause of fire in the United States, accounting for losses of more than $26,000,000 annually. 2. Masonry chimneys must be carefully built and lined with continuous flue tile. A space of at least two inches should l>e provided between the masonry and wood framing. 3. Properly firestopped walls and partitions prevent fires from running quickly through flue-like hollow' wall and floor spaces. Insulating the home with rock wool, not only helps prevent the spread of fires, but also provides year round comfort with savings up to 30' 1 on fuel costs. 4. All dlectric wiring should be done by good mechanics, with electrical and gas equipment bearing the seal of approval of the Underwriters’ Laboratory. Householders should inspect their homes periodical!'' for potential fire hazards. Most dangerous hazard of all is waste and rubbish stored in the cellar and attic, others include storage of ashes in inflammable receptacles: carelessness with matches, cigarettes and cleaning fluids; defective chimneys and heating apparatus, and storage of paint-stained or oil-soaked rags or mops in closets or other unsafe places. .
