Pup From Panama Is Beloved
Mascot Of VX-1 Squadron Here
: Anyone Who spends any time at
all at Boca Chaca sooner or later
notices Muchacha, the little dog
with the soft brown hair and big
Mack eyes, that takes such an in
terest in the activities of squadron
VX-1.
But few people know how the
Air Dev Ron One mascot came to
Key West and from where.
Her master, John L. Holston,
ADC, discovered her in Panama
while on duty there with Fleet Air
Service Squadron 105. What he
found was a sickly three-weeks-old
pup, unwanted by her Panama
owners.
Holston took the dog and nursed
it back to health. Tagged “Much
cha” by a Colombian native girl,
the name stuck. And when Chief
Holston was assigned to VX-1 last
August, stuffed in the top part of
Intrigue Is
Packed Into
Strand Film
Intrigue and dark doings in the
mystery city of Tangier provide
the thrilling subject matter of Pa
ramount's brand new action-pack
ed Technicolor adventure drama,
“Flight To Tangier,” which is due
to open next Sunday at the Strand
Theatre. Starring Jack Palancc,
Joan Fontaine, Corinne Calvet ad
Robert Douglas, “Flignt To Tan
gier” is a Nat Holt production.
Boasting his strongest cast to
date, Holt, who has built a repu
tation for doing period westerns,
has made a sharp departure from
his usual type films to deal with a
strong story telling of modern-day
espionage and murder in North
Africa.
The film’s story which was wit
ten by Charles Marquis Warren,
who also ably* serves as director,
concerns the activities of a strange
ly assorted group out to make easy
money. There is the dangerous-liv
ing soldier of fortune, Jack Parl
ance; the nice girl from America,
Joan Fontaine; the not so nice
French siren, Corine Calvet; ad
the mystery’ man, Robert Douglas.
They all meet in the dark and
forbidding city of Tangier where
life is cheaper than sustenance.
Here the dangerous game of inter
national politics and intrigues is
played out. whle intermingled
throughout the suspense-filled plot
is a generous amount of romance
with both ladies in love with Pal
ance.
In a crushing climax the sides
are pitted in mortal battle with
lethal lead being slung all over the
city. Who emerges victorious and
how the twist of fate plays its un
alterable course make for what is
reportedly some of the most excit
ing motion picture moments in
many a day.
Jack Palance. who has gained
fame as the sinister heavy, por
trays the role of a good guy in
'“Flight To Tangier.” Advance au
diences bad nothing but praise for
this ominous looking gent who one
phrase maker has called “the
panther on a frayed leash ”
All in all. “Flight To Tangier”
shapes up as an action-failed mo
tion picture that utilizes a top notch
cast and vivid color photography
plus an unusual background to give
the maximum in entertainment
values.

his sea bag was the furry brown
dog, now fat and sassy from her
Navy care.
It was a perfectly legal entry for
little Muchacha. All the papers for
her immigration were complied
(with and a veterinerian had certi
fied to her now excellent health.
| Assigned to the VX-1 mainten
ance division, Holston took his dog
to the shop one day and has been
taking her to work with him every
day since.
Well mannered and behaved,
Muchacha is nevertheless curious
and enjoys investigating everything
;in the squadron from tail hooks to
sump pumps.
All in all she seems quite happy
with her position of singular im
portance in the squadron and thinks
Key West is a doggone good place
to live.
“I Want You”
|To Be Shown
At Islander
“I Want You,” Samuel Goldwyn’e
newest production for RKO Radio
distribution which opens Sunday at
The Islander, stars Dana Andrews,
Dorothy McGuire, Farley Granger
and Peggy Dow in the sincere
drama of an American family
caught in the turmoil of today's
events.
i Andrews, a World War II veteran,
is the manager of his father's con
struction company in a small Eas
tern town, with Miss McGuire as
his wife and Granger as his “kid”
brother, youthfully enamoured of
Miss Dow. Granger goes before the
draft board when Martin refuses
to declare him indispensable, and
is accepted for service.
Since Miss Dow’s father is head
of the board. Granger feels he has
been framed, and his resentment
complicates his romance. Andrews’
old colonel, back in service, asks
Andrews to join him. and his efforts
to decide on the proper course,
along with Granger's personal con
flict, make for the gripping drama
of the picture's climax.
Robert Keith, Mildred Dur.nock
and Ray Collins are featured in the
supporting cast, with Martin Mil
ner, Jim Backus, Marjorie Cross
land and Walter Baldwin in promi
nent roles. Mark Robson directed
the offering, with Irwin Shaw writ
ing the screenplay based on Ed
ward Newhouse’s stories in the
New Yorker.
The striking realism of the film
gives it a special appeal for mod
em theatre-goers who demand the
utmost in naturalness in their
screen fare. Although in no sense
a sequel to Goldwyn's memorable
“The Best Years of Our Lives,”
the picture has been given the
same believable treatmnt as th
earlier hit. and its vivid character
drawing and timeliness mark it as
one of the season's most worth
while films.

Lew Ayres Has Unusual Role In New Movie
As the star of “Donovan's Brain”
one of the most unusual suspense
films ever made. Lew Ayres is cur
rently at the height of what may
be called his third career. In the
film, based on the best-selling no
vel by Curt Siodmak, and opening
on Sunday at the Monroe Theatre,
Ayres plays the role of a doctor
scientist who becomes the victim
of his own startling discovery a
bout the immortality of the hu
man brain. Nany Davis. Gene
Evans and Steve Brodie are co
starred in the United Artists re
lease.
Lew Ayres' first career began
back in 1929 when a taient scout
saw him dancing with his best girl
at a hotel grill, and offered him
a screen test. The result of that
test was the fantastic plum role of
romantic lead with Greta Garbo,
then at the height of her immense
popularity, in “The Kiss.”
In the next sax years. Lew
scarcely had a day off between pic
tures. Among the films he made in
this period was the memorable
i“All Quiet on the Western Front.”
in which he gave the performance
of his young life as the sensitive
German soldier who meets his
death when he reaches out of his
trench for a butterfly. There were
several other good ones, such as
“Common Clay” and “Dorway to
Hell,” but the general run of his
pictures was of an inferior calibre.
Lew was no exception to the rule
that no actor is better than his
pictures. For the next few years,
his career was almost dormant
But then, in 1938, he was discov
ered once more, and began cm his
second career. This time he was
signed to a long-term contract by
MCM, and assigned to the title
role of a film called “Young Doc
tor Kildare.” It was an instanlan
ieous hit, and became the forerun
ner of the most successful series
ever turned out in Hollywood. Once
more, Ayres rode the crest of
popular approval.
But he was once again toppled
from the heights this time be-

cause of his pacificist convict or. s ’
Lew created a sensaton by refus
ing to carry a gun when he was
drafted in 1942. Courageously, m
the face of a flood of adverse cri
ticism, and the knowledge that he
was committing professional sui
cide, he clung to his convict ons.
Hs screen career was fmshed. oi
course, although, ironically
enough, he thereafter served for
three and a half years as a medi
cal corpsman, acquiung himself
with great bravery under fire.
The pendulum swung, however,
once the passions of the war had
abated, and Lew was universally
acclaimed for has courage, both in
holding to his beliefs, and m recog
nition of hs mltarv aebevements.
Hollywood welcomed him home,
and he began making the s’.ow
climb back to stardom. At this
reading, he had made it. has once
again for the third time be
come one of the bright stars in
the Hollywood firmament.
And. from ail the signs, he will
stay there. He h3 no intention of
repeating the mistakes of his first
career, and hence exercises per
sonal control over the roles he is
to play. By thus handpicking his
films, he will never again be snow
ed under by a run of mediocre
movies.
It is a matter of record that he
went out after his role in “Dono
vans Brain,” after reading the
script. Tom Cries, producer of the
picture, was, rt goes without say
ing, more than delighted to have
him.
