DAY 7:30-9:30 THE first brilliant operetta in the already amazing history of the talking screen More exciting than any picture here! you have ever witnessed! any love drama wivhin your memory! Bringing to screen audiences a voice des- tined to ring ’'round the world, thrilling millions as heretofore it charmed circle of the Metropolitan’s Dia- mond Horseshge. swith CATHERINE DALE OWEN, STAN LAUREL, OLIVER HARDY.

The Metropolitan Opera Star LAWRENCE TIBBETT HE ROGUE SONG 9)) More daring than has thrilled the Music by Franz Entirely in TECHNICOLOR LAST TIMES TONIGHT Richard Dix in “Shooting Straight” T o e e — CAPITOL HAS “ROGUE SONG” FOR SUNDAY Dix in “Shooting Straight” | to Be Shown for Last | Times Tonight | ‘With “Shooting Straight,” star- | ring Richard Dix, showing for the | last times tonight at the Capitol | Theatre, “The Rogue Song,” Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's screen operetta, filmed entirely in Technicolor and starring Lawrence Tibbet, leading baritone of the Metropolitan Op- era Company, will be shown to- morrow afternoon and tomorrow evening and will be repeated Mon- day night at the popular play- house. The production, an original story by Frances Marion with dialogue by John Colton, was directed by Lionel Barrymore. The music was written by Franz Lehar and Her- bert Stothart with lyries by Clif- ford Grey. The settings were made under the supervision of Cedric Gibbcns and Alexander Toluboff. Great Variety of Songs The songs in the production range from numbers of operetic magni- tude accompanied by a symphony crchestra, to simple love songsand gypsy ballads. They include, “To Live, To Love” “Once in the Georgian Hills,” “The Narrative” “When I'm Looking At You” “Little White Dove,” “The Shame Cry,” “The Rogue Song” and “The Bandit Chorus.” Assisting in the musical end of the picture are Elsa Alsen, dramatic soprano, a women's chorus and a male chorus. While a large number of persons will be primarily interested in the musical ‘attractions of “The Rogue 8ong,” the producers were careful not to allow the interesting piot ed in the maze of musical num- bers. Barrymore interpolated the musical numbers at consistent points in the plot without detract- ing from the continuity of the sit- uations. The setting is lald in the Cau- casus Mountains with Tibbet play- ing the role of a swashbuckling Russian . Robin Hood, léader of a group of singing bandits who steal from the rich and give to the poor. The picture contains some un- usually effective cavalry scenes in which a large number of Rus- sian Cossacks participated. The coror work is fine, a parti- cularly beautiful scene being that of an Albertina Raach ballet of 100 girls who dance to the mod- ernistic music of Dimitri Tiomkin. The production contains a huge cast. Prominent parts are played by Catherine Dale Owen, Wallace Macdonald, Kate Price, Lionel Belmore, James Bradbury, Jr., Nance O'Neil, Judith Vosselli, Burr MacIntosh, Ullrich Haupt and the well-known Hal Roach team of Laurel and Hardy, who supply comedy relief as renegades attach- ed to Tibbet’s band.

MONDAY 7:30-9:30 'L 00SE ANKLES' SHOWS TONIGHT AT COLISEUM Matinee Proves Three-Act Stage Comedy Posseses Unusual Merit “Loose Ankles,” ciever three-act comedy, was presented at a mati- nee performance on the stage of the Coliseum Theatre this after- noon by a cast of 16 members of the senior class of the Juneau high school. The delightful enter- tainment will be given the second and last time tonight at the pop- ular playhouse. The play moves with celerity. It possesses a modern American set- ting. The theme revolves around three young persons who earn their livelihood as “hoofers” or dancers. “Loose Ankles” is an all-star pro- ! duction, inasmuch as all the 16 {roles are of equal importance, and at this afternoon’s performance all were portrayed with equal excel- lence. The, play is replete with spark- ling Wwitty lines, and with amusing situations. The stage version is more entertaining than the screen version, in which Douglas Fair- banks, Jr., afi’ Loretta Young took part. The production has been given~by only two other high schools in the United States. All in all, “Loose Ankles” is a comedy of unusual merit, and the high school students do it foll jus- tice. Tonght’s performance will be- gin at 8:15. o —————— John Martinson, 65, a miner of the Willow Creek district north of Anchorage, felt ill While visiting in Anchorage.

Like her husband, she is Norwegian and has been dancifg since 9 years of age. She wants to appear in dramatic roles, and has to some extent, but in Norway, she says, they consider her seats.
