CLOSING TONIGHT .\ CAPITOLSHOW | The picture is “Ice Capades |Revue,” the Republic hit film which presents a brilliant array of tfllfnt in one of the year's gayest and most entertaining romantic com- ledies. It is at the Capitol for the last showing tonight. Ellen Drew and Richard Den- Ining are co-starred, heading a cast which includes such favorites as Jerry Colonna, Vera Vague, Harold Huber, Marilyn Hare, Bill Shirley, Pierre Watkin, Si Jenks, and Sam Bernard. And as a special attrac- tion, there are the members of the Ice-Capades skating troupe per- forming in the scintillating fashion which has made them international favorites. ‘The picture is climaxed by a |series of dazzling ice skating per- \xormunccs with Vera Hruba, Megan | Taylor, Lois Dworshak, Donna At- !wood, “Red” McCarthy, ‘;mr: of the Ice- Capades troupe YARDS TURN OUT 65 FLAT | TOPS IN 43 NEW YORK, Jan. 6. - American | shipyards, working at high speed in | doubling the size of the United States Navy in a year, craft carriers of all fypes in 1943. James Forrestal, Under Secretary of the Navy, disclosed the record figure of carrier production in a speech in which he reported that six 20,000-ton carriers of the Essex type were included in the total, i addition to nine light carriers of the 10,000-ton converted cruiser type | built, and 50 escort carriers turned out. Forrestal said: “The United States Navy now constitutes the great t sea and air striking power in his- ! - | tory.” e LIFE IN CANAL LONE REVEALED IN TALK GIVEN - A well .1ttendrd met-lmg of the} udnnn at Woman's Society of Christian Ser- Inlpoll'\! is at the Baranof. vice of the Methodist Church lis. tened with eagerness and enjoy- | ment to Mrs. R.

Although quite warm in the daytime, the evenings are cool. However, because of excessive hu-| midity, each house maintains a dry closet,; ie., a constantly lighted electric bulb in the closet to keep articles of clothing from mould aurfl grades. Large clubhouses furnish varied recreation, in addition to fine golf jungle hunting, and the novelty of swimming in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Fiestas and celebrations under a tropical moon are haunting memor- fes to one who has lived in that| fascinating land. The reins of gov- ernment restriction are tightly drawn these days, and the army! and navy are virtually in command, for the Panama Canal is the stra- tegic life line of the Westeyn Hem- isphere, and an important military objective. The afternoon meeting for Jan- uary will be held Wednesday, Jan- uary 19, at the home of Mrs. B. W. Matheny on Twelfth Street. — e —— FROM LONE STAR STATE Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
