JACKIE COOPER 'N CAPITOL HIT ler, IDEANNA DURBIN, “That Cerfain Age Is At-| fraction Starting Sunday at local Theatre The advent of any Deanna Dur- bin picture is a milestone in the history of the screen. From the| surprising “Three Smart Girls,” through the beautiful and stirring “100 Men and a Girl” and the touching “Mad About Music” to the current, “That Certain Age,” cpening Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, her pictures have been a delight and a revelation That Certain Age” is as differ- ent from the previous trio as each of them were from each other. A: Deanna grows older, her stories are carefully tailored to her age. This picture is lighter in theme than the others, but no less power- ful in entertainment content. Starring Deanna, with Melvyn Douglas, Irene Rich, Jackie Coop- John Halliday, Juanita Quigley Jackie Searl, Peggy Stewart, Nancy Carroll and Charles Coleman, “That Certain Age" tells the story of a with MELVYN DOUGIAQ JACKIE.COOPER - IRENE RICH ““JOHN ‘HALLIDAY ; JUA ITA 'QUIGLEY SHORTS: Walt Disney Cartoon Late News »u\*] Ve R SALT FICTURE FIRST SHOW 7P.

Grew U. 8. Ambassador to Japan Jo- seph C. Grew is projected into the news again as the United States refuses to grant Japan's demand for increased Japanese represen- tation in the International settle- ment at Shanghai, China. On in- structions from the state depart- ment, Grew delivered a memoran- dum to this effect at the Japanese foreign office in Tokio. At the same time, American naval forces were landing at another interna- tional settlement at Amoy to de- fend American interests against Japanese troops which occupied the treaty area. British and French patrols followed the American landing party, | their boats through the culverts at high tide. The Council authorized the Street Commissioner to replace 675 feet of five-eighths inch rope belonging to the American Legion, which was cut up and used to rope off the treets during the Goldstein Build- ing fire. Insurance New $10,000 Rock Bulk- : head Needed fo Hold Dredging Spoils (Continued from Page One) and would reclaim about 16 acres of land. Whether or not the City can obtain title to this is problematical, || City Attorney Grover Winn said. The entire dredging job must be done either by a suction dredge, which would throw the material from the boat harbor up behind walls on nearby land, or by bucket dredge which would take it by barge out in Gastineau Channel to deep water about opposite Thane and dump it. In order to have the land filled back of the present wall, therefore, the City must build an- other wall to take care of the rest of the material. Mayor Harry Lucas and the Coun- cil are going to think it over for awhile. part of the $48400 which the City has available from a bond issue for boat harbor floats be used to build the new wall. Wharfage Increased The City Council last night passed a resolution increasing the wharfage charge on freight handled across the City dock between Northland Trans- portation Company ships and those of the Davis Transportation Com- pany from $1.50 per ton to $1.75 per ton. The local wharfage charge was increased recently from $1.75 to $2.25. Freight for transhipment is- han- dled at a lower cost, it was explained, as it does not require the services| of checkers. A proportionate in- crease in the wharfage charge for lumber, lath and shingles -for the Estebeth was also voted. Council- men John McCormick and Henry Messerschmidt voted against allow- ing the Northland-Davis freight any better rate than that for local de- livery. Agent Henry Green of the North- land Transportation Company said that if the wharfage charge was increased by 50 cents a ton, the two companies could no longer absorb the charge as they do on present shipments via the Bstebeth to small ports on its run, but would have to increase the freight rates. This would result, he said, in much of (the freight for Hoonah and such ports being shipped direct from Se- attle by small trading boats such {as the Silver Wave, which never ftouch at Juneau and contribute ncthing toward prosperity here, Storage Charge Protested Councilman G, Emil Krause protested the City's new ‘charge of 25 cents per ton for stor- age at the City Wharf, saying he { had approximately 50 tons of cement fthere all the time and the charge would be prohibitive. The Council RAY HARRINGTON Chef and Maitre d’hotel Under the Manageraent of ROBERT J. SCHOETTLER FOR RESERVATIONS CALL 800 to meet with Krause to arrange for him to rent storage space at the dock for his cement. Attorney Sam Ducker wrote to the Council on behalf of a score of residents of the Native Village, his clients, protesting blocking of two culverts by the new sewer installa- tion on Willoughby Avenue and de- imanding the obstructions be remov- ed so that the Indians can dragj One suggestion was that| Wharf Committee and Mayor are Letters from both M. E. Monagle of the Alaska Personal Service and Curtis Shattuck of the Shattuck Agency, offering to write City insur- ance on workmen’s compensation, | were read. Both firms offered to write the business with Lloyd's of London at a lower rate than last | year and Monagle claiming he could give the City a substantial advan- tage in rate through classification of all workers at the City Wharf as “dock workers” rather than as “long- shoremen.” icy expires June 21, Further dickering with Judge George F. Alexander over a corner of his lot on which the City has built a retaining wall and provided a passable turn for automobiles was in progress late last night. Mayor Lucas anuounced he had appointed Jim Donakue and Ed <Cowlmg foremen on the WPA pm— | jects now under way here and had purchased two liferings salvaged |from the motorship Patterson for | use at the City Wharf.

It is the tale of a distinguished neurological surgeon who embarks upon a career of crime in order, so he says, to stidy the mental and )l eactions of criminals dur-| ing those moments when they perpetrating their crimes. He becomes as successful a crim- 1l in the course of his allegedly | scientific dual existence as he is a surgeon, In fact, his facile brain soon enables him to become the leader of a bigtime band of robbers previously dominated by Humphrey Bogart and for whom Claire Trevor is the stylishly garbed “fence.” Leading his band in one big robbery after 4dnother, the doctor seems to manifest a strange zest for his illegal enterprises until he uddenly brought up short by t for the murder of Bogart, who had threatened blackmail.
