WATER SPORTS BRING MANY T0 HARBOR DOCKS Fishing Boats and Logging Rollers Engage in Contests Water sports tne forenoon of ihe Fourth of July attracted throngs of persons to the harbor’s wharves. While all the events proved of in- terest, the halibut gear bating and the halibut gear setting contest drew special attention inasmuch as some residents and numerous visi- tors had never witnessed these ac- tivities before. The only accident in connection with the water events was the swamping of an outboard motor boat, which was warming up its engine preparatory to engaging in the outboard motorboat race. Hit- ting a log, the craft turned over on its side, spilling the occupant, Bud Dodson, into the water. Rescue Quickly Made He was quickly rescued by an- other motor boat and his craft and | its motor were towed ashore. The first contest on the water program was the gas or diesel boat tug of war. There were three en- tries, all halibut boats, following results: Margaret T., Capt. Peter Hildre, first;_.the P‘em. Capt. - John Low- ell, second, and the Ina J, Capt. John Satre, third. In the halibut paiting competition , there were four entries. The re- stiits follow: Cswald Varnes, on Margaret T., first; Ingwald Sunderlund, on Ford, cecond; Martin Brensdal on the Fern, -third; Ben Nyland on the | Fmma, fourth, Gear Setting Conlest Four boats “entered the halibut gear setting contest with the fol- lowing results: Fern, Capt, John Lowell, first; works was made off the western Margaret T.

De Mille, Is | Comedy with Music “Madam Satan,” which opens to- | night at the Capitol theatre up-| holds Cecil B. DeMille’s reputation the exotic and unusual. The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer di- rector’s comedy with music, touches upon many phases of entertain- ment. . It treats of domestic dis- cord. It has spicy and clever scenes in milady's boudoir. It takes | spectators to a gérgeous masked ball aboard a Zeppelin, and finally brings them to the end of their seats as the airship tears loose from its mooring mast, and the guests jump for safety in parachutes. Eight Musical Numbers And all of this excitement is coated over by eight musical num- bers and three special ballets, mak- | ing “Madam Satan” a well munded eye and ear attraction. | The plot of “Madam Satan” is laid entirely amongst the folks of high society; folks wealthy enough to give and go to parties on Zeppe- lins, there to be attired as “Henry the Eighth,” “Romeo,” “The Call of the Wild,” “The Spirit of In- nocent Pride,” or what have you. Bob and Angela Brooks are mar- ried, but Bob’s eyes have strayed because Angela is a “too perfect wife.” How Angela finally decides to fight for her love with the wea- pons other women use, provides the reason for the appearance at the Zep +ball of the voluptuous exotic, mysterious “Madam Satan.” Attractive Situation The situation of a man making love to his own wife is not a new one, but it is always attractive, and De Mille has invested it with both | color and novelty. Reginald Denny and Kay John- son are the two principals. Both have good voices and it is certain | that there will be disputes as to two had the best Is which of the song, Denny's “Al I Know That You Are in My Arms" or Miss | Johnson's “Meet Madam” and “Live and Love Today.” Roland Young is cast as the comic Jimmy and Lillian Roth as “the other woman."”| The story is from the pen of Jeanie MacPherson, with dialogue by Gladys Unger and Elsie Janis | The musical numbers were com-| posed by Elsie Janis and Jack King; Herbert Stothart and Clif- ford Grey. Abe Lyman’s band plays in the Zep sequence. e — PENGUIN SAILS LASTSATURDAY FOR PRIBILOFS, O'Malley' and ‘Party Con- tinue to Westward After Holiday Visit Here Enroute direct to the Pribilof Islands, the Fisheries patrolship Penguin, Capt.

The celebration was favored by the weather, not a drop of rain falling throughout the day or night, al- though the sky was overcast with clouds. There were many visitors in the city. Cannery workers and other residents of nearby places came to participate in Independence Day festivities. Virtually all fishermen of the Juneau fleet were in port. The mines, including the Alaska Juneau, suspended operations in honor of the occasion. The parade in the business dis- trict, starting at 9:30 in the fore- noon, was the first event on the program. Water sports were held in the harbor in the forenoon. The daylight fireworks exhibition took place at the Government Wharf at noon. Field sports, consisting chiefly of races of various kinds for children were held at Recrea- tion Park, early in the afternoon. These were followed by a baseball game there. A dance was given in Moose Hall at night. Parade Was Colorful The parade was a colorful event. The children’s section in particular attracted attention. The little boys and girls were dressed in fancy and comical costumes. Several of the lads were in Uncle Sam suits and high hats. Some of the lit- tle maids pushed doll buggies con- taining prettily clothed dolls. The Filipino division was com- prised of 50 natives of the Islands. It had a beautiful float, upon which was an attractive young Filipino woman. The Salvation Army was well- represented, considering that most of its members are engaged at this time in fishing and cannery activi- tles at more or less distant places. G. A. R. Member in Line Members of the Fire Department Wwere in line with two fire trucks. Chief J. L. Gray rode in an auto- mobile with him was Dr. J. N. Carver, the only member of the Grand Army of the Republic living on Gastineau Channel. ‘The parade, headed by the Ju- neau City Band, started from Win- ter and Pond's photograph store on lower Front Street; went north on Front to Seward Street; north on Seward to Third Street; west on Third to Main Street; south on Main to Front Street; east on Front to Franklin Street, and north on Franklin to the Capitol Theatre where the marchers disbanded. Prizes, which had been offered in connection with the parade, were awarded in front of the Capitol theatre by a committee consisting of George M. Simpkins and Elmer Reed. Contests Are Close Competition was so close in some of the children’s contests that the judges were unable to determine which was best. They awarded first prizes to all entries that puz- zled them. This was so in the doll buggy and attractive cos- tume classes. The awards follow: Girls with Doll Buggies—Patricia Groves, Susan J. Helgesen, Patricia Manners,” Carol Hanson, all first prizes.
