Show Capitol Offers Drama Of Slave Days While the government of California Cali-fornia was struggling under Mexican Mexi-can oppression, leaving Its shores unguarded and making It a haven for slave traders, numerous ships bearing human cargo made their way Into the comfortable natural harbors with prisoners taken from the islands In the Pacific ocean and the South seas. With this as Its powerful theme, "Mutiny on the Blackhawk" is now offered at the Capitol theater starring Richard Rich-ard Arlen and Andy'Devine.
