You don’t know the name? Think a minute. Think back to 1931—and a little picture called “Skippy.” Jackie Cooper was the boy who became a star on that venture, and Willard Robertson was the father who turned in a fine performance and didn't be- come a star. And is just as glad he didn't. You see him frequently, in parts little and occasionally bigger. You'll see him again if you see “Bright Victory.” He’s with Jackie “NEXT TIME WE LOVE” and “"RANGE DEFENDERS" & FIRST SHOW" STARTS 7 P. M. SHORTS—A Pele Smith . . Strang e As It May Seem . .

Selz- |nick’s “The Young in Heart,” in |which she is starring with Janet Gaynor and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. |opens at the Capitol Sunday.

Wylie's Sautrday Evening Post story, “The Gay Banditti,” “The Young in Heart” offers Miss Goddard the |role of a pretty Londsn secretary |with whom the heiress-seeking son, |played by Fairbanks, falls in love. Roland Young, Billie Burke, Henry Stephenson, Richard Carlson and Minnie Dupree are featured in Paulette’s first vehicle for Selznick International Pictures. Tonight is the final showing of two features, “Range Defenders” and the return attraction, starring Margaret Sullivan, “Next Time We Love.’ > - Editors Here On Monday, 3-Hour Stay The NEA party of Editors will be in Juneau southbound from the In- terior and Westward aboard the Aleutian on Monday morning at 6 | o'clock, remaining here only three hours before leaving for Petersburg | where a schedule arrival is slated |for 4 o'clock in the afternoon and where a sea food supper and dance will be enjoyed. The Editors arrived at Sitka at 7 o'clock this morning and the Aleu- tian is scheduled to leave there this afternoon for Skagway, arriving there at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning: Skagway is planning a real old sour~ dough time.

According to John Hermle and Joe Thibodeau, proprieotrs, the store now offers the latest in retail equip- ment for the benefit of its custo- mers and has also installed the most modern of refrigerating appar- | atus. Paving now in progress on Wil- loughby is virtually complete in front of the store 70 OPEN SUNDAY AS IS CELEBRATING "oy seum FEATURE A light-hearted story from the pen of Claude Binyon, the news- paperman who wrote “I Met Him in Paris” and “True Confession,” a brilliant performance by a cast of experts, headed by Bing Crosby and Fred MacMurray, and a sparkling collection of new songs combine to make first-rate entertainment of Paramount’s comedy, “Sing You Sinners,” which has its local pre- miere Sunday at the Coliseum The- atre. Coming too close to Bing's own early career to be just a coincidence, “Sing You Sinners” revolves about the doings of an amiable ne'er-do- well, played of course by the croon- | ing star, whose irresponsibility nearly wrecks his family but whose | good fortune on the racetracks and PUPPET SHOW PLANNED FOR VISITORS SUNDAY | oo e AT GIRL SCOUTS CAMP ' Open house will be celebrated again tomorrow at the Girl Scout Camp at Eagle River between 1 and 5 o'clock.
