Plenty of action
in Western film
with Joel McCrea

FORT MASSACRE, August 21

and 22

This is an absorbing, out-of-
the-ordinary western. drama,
handsomely embellished in
colour.

Reliable Joel McCrea, as
always is ‘good, and is well
Supported by Forrest Tucker

and John Russell. McCrea is a
strict commanding sergeant of a
cavalry unit and takes it on
dangerous trek, in which, follows
Several vicious battles with
Apache Indians.

It is all rather grim with no
comedy relief but there is plenty
of action, excitement and sus-
pense,

treaty promoted by Admiral

The physical properties alone-
the sheer beauty of the Orient
captured in colour make the pro-
duction a memorable one.

Wayne as Townsend Harris is
very competent but it is quite
different from Wayne's usual
two-fisted characterizations—Eiko
Anda a beautiful Japanese act-
ress provides the romantic touch
and Sam Jorre puts in a praise-
worthy performance as Wayne's
interpreter.

It is a credit to the producers
that the feature based on a
historical ineident is told in such
a manner as to permit both act-

ion and romance for overall
appeal.

diotelephone chain from mid-
night August 13th.

North-west Telephone Com-
pany’s vice-president and general
manager, C. McLean, said in Van-
couver this week that telephone
engineers activated the new
chain of radio relay stations at
midnight August 13th to provide
greatly improved long distance
calling facilities to and from
Prince George and the Cariboo.

The new system connects with
the B.C. Telephone Company’s
microwave chain at Greenstone,
just outside Kamlops, and makes
its way northward via two new
relay stations in the Cariboo
situated on Timothy Mountain,
in the Lac La Hache area, and
Dragon Mountain,

Mr. McLean said that the open-
ing of the new microwave chain
will eventually permit the com-
pany to double the number of
long distance circuits between
Vancouver, Prince George and
various Cariboo centres.

Telephone conversations bound
for Prince George are converted
into microwaves and travel from

Mountain via the eight relay
points which make up the Van-
couver-Kamloops network. From
Greenstone, the microwaves are
beamed northwards through the
Timothy and Dragon erlay points

direct to a radio antenna on the
roof of the Quesnel telephone
office.

By next year Williams Lake
will also be directly connected
to the new system through the
Timothy Mountain radio site.
