PETE HAMMER THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, APRIL 25 UNIQUE DRAMA ] IS FEATURED AS CAPITOL SHOW "Letter of Iniroduchon Is Ending Tonight at Local Theatre Just a simple letter of introduc- Mot . ;o But it provides some of the groat- est dramatic moments ever seen on any screen in Universal's “Letter of | Introduction,” ending at the Capi- tol Theatre tonight. | First of these moments occurs | when Andrea Leeds, as Kay Mar-| tin, takes the letter to Adolphe | Menjou, as John Mannering, screen and stage idol. For then Menjou discovers that Andrea is his daugh- ter, whose existence he never had | suspected. And through this same letter of introduction, Menjou meets Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, and helps them become the greatest fig- |ures in the entertainment world. The letter also causes a quarrel and parting between Andrea and George Murphy, when she will not |explain the relationship between | {herself and the aging actor. It in-| directly brings tragedy into many | lives, happiness to others, and| numerous comedy situations. “Letter of Introduction” is latest masterpiece of John M. Stahl, who produeed and directed “Back | | Street,” ‘“Magnificent Obsession,” | | “Immitation of Life.” - Plans Underway, | Student Frolic Friday Evening Plans for the annual Student Fro- lic, to be presented by the Associated | Student Body of Juneau High, are | well underway.

Stu- | dent Body President Eckley Guerin | has appointed the committee chair- | men, and the theme “Twilight in Turkey” will be used. In keeping| | with the decoration theme, two| veiled crystal gazers will be presem to tell fortunes. Intermission enter- tainment will be providet by vocal | numbers by a trio of Ruth Allen, | Idabelle Dobson, and Charliene Ar-| nold, and a feminine dancing choru: s| | which will present an original num- | | ber. Highlight of the intermission | | will be the crowning of an unidenti- | fied Sultan. Eckley Guerin will be in charge |of all arrangements, and he will be | assisted by Elwin Messer. Mrs. A. S.| Dunham is Student Body advisor. Committee chairmen appointed are Frank Parsons, decorations; Louise Hildre, programs; Betty Wilms, in- vitations; Virginia Worley, patrons; Isabel Parsons, publicity; Lola La | Paugh, entertainment; George Alex- | ander, clean- -up; Wendell Schneid- | er, electrician; and Mary Fukuyama, refreshments.
