But that’s just the beginning of the story. There is now an aver- age of more than a million and a half calls per day; a good guarter of a million more daily than in the biggest months on record. What's the result? A scream from the subscribers that the service is terrible. If you have a call from Washington, bide your coming in a time. Hours can elapse before an opera- | tor can get a wire. The payoff ‘s that those same hours elapse when War Production Board offi- Headquarters Hardeman WATER-PROOFED Hats H. S. Graves ‘fhe Clothing Man cials are trying to get their calls| through.

And of course there's no delay on the Army and Navy calls, from Secretary of War Stimson and Secretary Knox| down. — e —— Feature Sponsored By Legion Auxiliary Called Qutstanding ‘ “Night Train,” the feature pic- | ture which is being sponsored by |the American Legion Auxiliary on its Americanism program to be ‘ln‘ld next Wednesday and Thursday | evenings at the 20th Century Thea- | tre, is said to be one of the out- atandmg films of the year, by re- | viewers of many leading news- | papers. | Headed by Paul Von Hernreid, a| | well-balanced cast gives a convinc- ing performance in the exciting picture which has a hair-raising climax. “Night Train" is based on an original story by Gordon Wellesley, with the screen play written by Sydney Gilliat and Frank Launder | and was made at the G.

Also on the Americanism pro- gram will be a special feature, “The Flag of Humanity” in technicolor, | and musical features by the Ju- neau School band and local musi- | cians. | COMMERCIAL DEAR ME- lT’S CHILLY OUT-1 NEAR‘, F?OZE’ UP 1891—Half a Century of Banking—1941 The B.M.Behrends Bank Oldest Bank in Alaska SAVINGS any| I ’ | \ ‘ | ‘ Sweeping drama, brilliant acting !and direction and an unforgettable |love story make the new David L.| | Loew-Albert Lewin picture, “So |Ends Our Night," which opens sun- | |day for its premiere showing at the Capitol Theatre, one of the great-| ‘(‘sl and most stirring motion pic- tures to emerge from Hollywood | |this season. Based on the Erich| Maria Remarque magazine serial,| “Flotsam,” this new picture was| \rccclved with acclalm and en- |thusiasm by an audience composed of notables and celebrities at the |gala first-night showing. . “So Ends Our Night” was bril- !liantly directed: by John Cromwell | |irom the screen play written by | Talbot Jennings and it is being re- |lensed by United Artists. An out- |standing cast of stars headed by i Fredric March, Margaret Sullavan,| Frances Dee, Glenn Ford, Anna | Sten, Erich von Stroheim, Roman | Bohnen, Leonid Kinskey and Lion- lel Royce enacts the intensely poig- nant story of “So Ends Our Night" ‘with outstanding brilliance and { talent. ‘ A great love story is unfolded in “So Ends Our Night,” and it is played against the colorful back- grounds of the leading European |capitals. The action starts in Vi- |enna-and unwinds in Paris, taking |the audience also to Prague and |the Alpine passes of Switzerland.| This shifting of locales keeps the ‘plcv.ure moving at a fast pace, ac- ‘(elerfi(es the implications of the drama and likewise provides a con- tinuous stream of fresh and dif- | ferent scenes for the audience.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20—The i players, says Mel Ott, have many a laugh in a baseball game that the fans miss. He cited a couple of examples in which the laughs were on the fans themselves. “Once T took a perfect pitch down the middle for a called strike,” he related, “and the late Cy Pfirman, who was umpiring, called it on me. 1 turned.to him and said: ‘How can a fellow let a perfect pitch like | that go by?’ “The crowd began yelling, ‘Get in the game, Pfirman.’ ‘You tell him | Mel." “Another time a pitch was a litte close and I had to®back away.
