That the leading musical figure in America Leopold Stokowski, has devised a new method for enriching screen Jnusic and giving its perspective in 'sound, makes the film increasingly significant. This Universal comedy drama with music, “100 Men and a Girl,” which plays tonight at the Capitoi Thea- tre, features many players who have played in notable hits. Deanna Dur- bin, Alice Brady and Mischa Auer scored in “Three Smart Girls.” Miss Brady, Mischa Auer and Eugene Pallette also registered in “My Man Godfrey.” Adolphe Menjou won praise in “Sing, Baby, Sing” * | Star Is Born, ‘One in a Million” and “Cafe Metropole.” The film was made by director Henry Koster and associate produ- cer Joseph Pasternak, who also guided “Three Smart Girls” to suc- cess. Both offerings were under the supervision of Charles R. Rogers, executive producer. Mischa Auer, the madcap musi- cian, has a genius for torturing mu- sical instruments. He declares he is the only pupil of his uncle Leopold Auer, able to play music which can- not be scored on paper. Mischa adds that it might. be possible with a | squeaky pencil on a shrieky slate. - Many Salmon Are Caught Over Wide Area Juneau took to boats Sunday for its fishing thrills. Auk Bay was dot- ted with strip-fishers and. hand trollers from early in the morning until late at night. Many other boats were in evidence ai Tee Harbor and Eagle River. There were even a few boats ar Marmion Island, Down at Marmion, it is known tnat at least one King salmon, weighing about. 30 pounds, was taken by a couple named Thorgelson, new- comers to Juneau. A newcomer fishing at Auk Bay also had luck. He was Elmer Peter- son, of Seattle, who was taken afield by friends, Jack and Fred Schmidtz, and Gildo Battello, who had decided to initiate Peterson to; the gentle art of King-catching. Peterson learned readily. He caught three salmon weighing 36 25 and 22 pounds _respectively. Coaches - Jack and Fred Schmitz and Gildo Battello caught nothing. GEQ, F.
