"Il HAPPENED | TOMORROW" IS CAPITOL'S BILL ‘ \ “It Happened Tomorrow” is a) funny picture . . . which is a fine thing to be able to say about aj comedy. It is at the Capitol for the| {1ast time tonight. | The plot of the film, which stars Dick Powell, Linda Darnell, and Jack Qakle, is a Rene Clair natural.| It deals with the strange and rib-| tickling tribulations of a young reported, young Larry Stevens (Dick | | Powell), of the Evening News of 1890, | | when he is given a copy of tomor- | row’s newspaper . . . today. The| isource of this desirable arrangement |is the fatherly ghost of one Pop| ! Benson, former keeper of the files| | of the News. 2 | As a result of his possession of ithe newspaper, Stevens is able to| | predict tomorrow’s weather and sun- | |dry other events which ultimately, lead him to the calaboose. For the| | police, not believing in his unnatural | prowess, suspect him of very real land practical knowledge of several crimes. Managing to get out of the crim-| ‘inal charge against him, young Mr. | Stevens finds himself first a hero,| | then a rich man as a result of his| | pre-ordained winnings at the races, |and finally reads his own obituary | {in another edition of the phantom | paper. The climax to this disturb- ing situation (for Mr. Stevens) is a | clever and complete surprise. DOUGLAS » !

The record: Early in the session, House holds Party-tea-Party and dumps Blanket Primary Bill and Direct Election of National Committeemen Bill. Senaté holds own party, dumps fish trap referendum. Bill re-introduced, asking refer- enduth vote on both questions.

[ SQUARE DANCE LAST EVENING A steady and heavy downpour of rain and slippery streets did not deter the square dance enthusiasts from attending the old-fashioned dancing session last night in the A. B. Hall under auspices of the American Women's Voluntary Serv- ices and the USO. From the time the orchestra, E. M. Mclntyre, violinist; Albert Peter- | son, accordianist, and Frank Pineda played the opening number, “The Girl I Left Behind Me” to “Good Night Ladies,” at the finish there was plenty of action. Little time was lost. between calls, as the dancers remained on the floor for three or four “changes.” Recent additions to the square dancing contingent and who enjoyed their first participation in that form of dancing were Mr, and Mrs. Alfred Zenger, Mr. and Mrs, Roy Peratro- vich, George Jorgenson, Mrs. C. C. Carnegie and Edward Cooper. The: “traffic squad,” Henry God- dard, Lester Linehan, Private Bob Phillips, Corporal Francis Blackwell, A. J. Goodman and Don Newton were helpful in putting the begin- ners through ‘their paces and lining up the “sets.” The loudspeaker proved highly ef- fective in conveying the voice of the caller, A. B, Cain, to the far corners of the big hall, . Out of town visit- ars were .Mr. and Mrs. J. Ask’of Petersburg. Private Tom Kent, popular member of the USO square | dancing fraternity, was welcomed i back from his furlough to Chicago. JWCINTERESTED IN THREE BILLS OF LEGISLATURE ‘The Juneau Woman's Club at the dations on three bills now before the Territorial Legislature, at the re- | quest of the Club Legislative Depart- ment. The woman’s club’ endorsed the creation of .a Library Gommission, and went on' record as being op- posed . to discrimination in the in- creasing of salaries for Territorial employees. They recommended that | the same pefcentage of ificrease be | allowed both administrative and clerical emiployees. The'club members also voted to protest ‘a - bill which would permit i donation of previous years to the Red Cross, making it $20 this year, Blected to membership were Alice SHabaldak, Mary Husted, Mary Shearer and Louise Waish. Members of the club voted to hold a Creative Arts and Crafts ExHibit, similar to' the one held early this year, as a regular part of the club program each year. —————— ——— - CASHEN HERE Regina B, Cashen, registering A TI0"CENTUR | Last Night! 5/ laughs, love and music! The laugh-and- MUSIC, COMEDY IS IN FEATURE NOW | AT 20TH CENTURY. There's a bright new film at the 20th Century Theatre in Para- mount’s “You Can't Ration Love” which opened last night and it brings enought music and comedy to satisfy the most ardent advocate of escapist movie fan. Songs by Johnnie Johnston and Betty Rhodes are delivered to the music of D'Artega and his All-Girl Orchestra, while ‘the comedy caper: by Marie Wilson and Johnny “Scat” Davis hit the highwater mark. Then there’s some essentric » dancing by elongated Christine Forsythe and five-foot-four Roland Dupree which sends the audience into peals of laughter. The story concerns the attempts by women students at a co-ed uni- versity to institute a rationing sys- tem so there will be enough men to go around. Betty is stuck with Johnston, who, because of his schol- arly appearance and apparent dis- interest in the art of swing music < and such, is termed a “dead beat.” Betty grooms him for a better role in life, however, and through pat- ient maneuvering transforms him into the crooning idol of the college femmes. - -ee - KYLES IN TOWN . and Mrs. Jack O.
