This is to be staged on May 11, in the arena at A.'B, Hall » The Vets' boxing committee is introducing a mnovelty event as a epecial attraction on that occasion. A wrestling match, the first ever held here under the new rules which have made wrestling one of RICHARD CROMWELL with NOAN BEERY GEeemGE DURVEA WENRY B WALTHALL Oursend by { the most popular of sports, is the extra feature. e 4 | It will be a three round affair, each round six minutes unless a | fall cuts it short. Sailor McClure, | former middleweight wrestling | champion of the United States | Navy, and Gene Hulk, billed as the | “Terrible Russ,” have been signed up for the go. If it proves popu- lar, as the committee believes it will, wrestling will be added to the menthly cards as a regular part of the program. Two other boxing matches will round out the bill. Louis Nabalis and Kid DeGracia, fast little Fili- pinos who have made many friends among the fans by their scrappiness and cleverness, will meet in a six- round battle. The show will be opened by a four-rounder in which Billie Nikinovich and Willie Roden- berg will-strut their stuff.

King, member of the | administrative staff of .the Shel- |don Jackson School at Sitka, am- ticipates with pleasure a visit to her former home in Gasgow, Scot- land, but she realizes the joy of her sojourn there could be turnped to grief by doubts of a return to her Alaska residence. So she has insured happiness by -purchasing a round-trip ticket.

AT COLISEUM |“Let’s Go Native™ Starring Jack Oakie Is Billed for Tomorrow “On the Border,” with Rin-Tin- Tin, is the attraction for tonight ’at the Colisesum Theatre. “Let's Go | Native,” starring Jack Oakie and Jeanette MacDonald, will begin showing tomorrow evening at the ;‘pnpulnr playhouse. (e - B Go Native,” Oakie is seen as Vi re McGinnis, goofy but irzo-gcmnx taxi cab driver who gets |all mixed up with Miss MacDonald's | plans for her troupe of show-girls |who are making a trip to South | America to put on a revue for a millionaire. When Oakie's cab runs smack into a police station in New York he is bound to seek refuge on the ship. He gets a job as | a stoker but later is promoted to a | mess attendant. | Society Ne’er-Do-Well On the boat are William Austin, James Hall, ‘lhe 75 girls of her show. | The ship strikes a derelict and | all the principals are stranded on a tropical isle where Skeets Gallagher is king. There is an abundance of pearls, and the island spouts oil every time a tent peg is driven, |but it is all valueless to the cast- aways for they are beyond the pale of civilization. Many Wise Cracks Oakie's part in this hectic plot, one may be sure, is a part that calls .for many smart-cracks and mueh - humorous --action. To begin with he explains to Willlam Aus- tin that he is called Voltaire be- cause when ‘he was born his moth- er had a Jewish nurse. “Me mud- der told the noice she wanted me called Walter, but the mnoice wrote it down the way a Jewish noice would pronounce it—Voltaire'."” { Five Notable Songs There are five songs in “Let's Go Native.” Oakie sings three of them—*"Joe Jazz,” a solo with danc- ing chorus on the boat deck, “I've Gota Yen For You,” a duet with Kay Francis on the trcpical isle, and “Let’s Go Native” with a chor- us and reprise by William Austin in the cocoanut grove. The spicy freshness of the songs is only exceeded by the spicy fresh- ness of Mr. Oakle himself.

William left the New York pro- duction of “The Vinegar Tree” on a week’s notice and flew to Holly- wood to take the part opposite Miss Costello. Previous screen and voice tests had demonstrated his resem- blance to Barrymore. As a matter of fact, William had never met either Barrymore or Miss Costello, although he once did play opposite the former Mrs. John Bar- rymore, Michael Strange, in a play and another time opposite the wife of Lionel Barrymore. William was born in Minn., where his father pub) a newspaper. He went on the stage dfter the war.

It is William’s first appearance in pictures, and 13 hours after geles he was busy in a love scene with Miss . Costello. His resemblance to Barrymore is particularly marked in profile and| in the elevated left eyebrow, which’ both actors affect. — e NOTICE TO CREDITORS Having been appeinted adminis- trator of the estate of Walter Ste- phens, deceased, by the Commis- sioner for the Territory of Alaska, sitting in Probate in Juneau Pre-| cinct, in the PFirst Division thereof, | by order issued March 21, 1931, all persons having claims against the| estate of the sald deceased are hereby notified to present them,| duly verified as required by law, | to the undersigned administrator, at his office at 183 South Front Street, in Juneau, Alaska, within| six months from the date of the order aforesaid.
