D. D. MARGUARDT OPTOMETRIST Second and Franklin PHONE 506 FOR APPOINTMENTS IN TECHNICOLOR NOW AT CAPITOL Stunningly teautiful in color, Margaret Lockwood fairly takes the spectator’s breath away in “Jassy,” the J. Arthur Rank pre- sentation released by Universal-In- ternational which openeqd last night at the Capitol Theatre. Radiant in the gorgeous costumes of England of a century ago, she gives one of her best performances in this excit- ing story of intrigue, mystery and empestuous romance. She is ably sceonded by her co-star in the pic- ture, lovely Patricia Roc who made such an auspicicus American film debut in “‘Canyon Pas: As Jassy, a giri with an English father and gypsy mother, Margaret Lockweod is a maid of ail work at the fashionable boarding school which Patricia Roc attends. Sus- pected of aiding her in a clandestine romance, Margaret accompanies Patricia to her home when both girls are sent away from the school and meets the latter's father, Basil Sydney, a gambling, domineering, landowner. He becomes infatuated with the former serving maid, a cir- cumstance which leads to a loveless marriage, a murder and an aston- ishing murder trial with a surpris- ing climax. Scencs of youthful romance also abound in the film. Dermot Walsh, a dashing, handsome young newcomer, plays love scenes opposite both stars. Basil Sydney creates a re- markable cinema portrait as the ruthless, overbearing landed pro- prietor. R 28 CARRIED ON FLIGHTS WED.

The Alaska Magnum was develop- ed to fill the need for a more powerful gun to kill the large bear of Alaska, to use for long range shooting at sheep, caribou, or other game, and to provide tremendous shocking power for making clean kills on big game. Until recently there had been no .30 caliber shell that could be used in standard length actions and still give the velocities and accur- -acy of the .250 and .270 caliber guns. The .250 and .270 are tco light for clean kills on large game at long range. The Alaska Magnum shell has the advantage in that it can be used in standard length actions, which are more plentiful, if they are properly chambered and barrel- ed. This shell was made in Juneau about a year ago, and is manufac- tured here by Skinner. Magnum velocity is obtained in the standard length cartridge using standard .30 caliber bullets, which are plentiful. This shell has been tested for about a year with no ad- verse reports on it. To show its power, one guide shot a brown bear at 15 feet, using the .30 Alaska Magnum. The bullet entered the chest and emerged at the back, making a hole six inches in diameter. About 20 guns are now using the Magnum shells. Some of the guns are being used stateside with one as far away as Texas. The gun is used by guides, hunters and sports- men. Long range Kkills up to 723 mea- sured yards have been made In ithis case, the distance was measured | by an engineer's transit. Penetra- I tion in steel is 40 per cent greater :Lhfll\ a factory 300 H and H Mag- num. The bullet has been chron- jographed at 3,549 feet per second. | The accuracy is goo- wiiir ap- ! proximate minute of angle groups possible. At 200 yeards, five bullets Hoban Appears for Concert Group in Varied Program Appearing on the stage of the 20th Century Theatre tonight at 8:80 o'clock will be Stanley Hoban, baritone, who will present a program of varied classice and folk music. He will be accompanied at the Ipiano by Gladys Watson, who in | private life is Mrs. Stanley Hoban. Tae couple comes here under the auspices of the Juneau Concert As- oclation in the fourth concert of the season presented by the asso- ciation. Excited about their first trip to Alascka, the Hobans spent yesterday |and today sight-seeing in Juneau. They arrived from Seattle by Pan American plane Tuesday to enjoy {Juneau’s first spring days of sun-| |shine. | They have made their home in “Seame for the past three years, go- {ing there from Toronto, Canada, | where the singer was a member of | the Toronto Music Conservatory fac- lulty. In Seattle, Mr. Hoban is solo- |ist with the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist. He also has made | extensive concert tours throughout the West Coast during the past three years. Born in Scotland, he came to Can- jada shortly before the first World | War. ! The Juneau concert is the only Alaskan concert scheduled for the musicians. From here, they will re- turn to Seattle where they plan to take a rest from a full winter sea- | dled suddenl; son. - MRS.

Also manufactured by Art Skin- ner is the improved .30-06. By re- chambering the standard .30.06 bar- rel, the gun will then use the .30-06 improved shell as well as the fac- tory or standard -06 shell. The | improved shell gives more velocity than the factory 300 H and H Magnum, ‘The improved .30-06 is known ‘as 'the Miser’'s Magnum and was nam- ed by the American Rifleman Mag- azine. This gun is the result of a proved and progressive develop- ment over a period of about five or six years by different ballistic ex- | perts. | There are about 15 in use at the | present time in Alaska. Reports ycn them have been good. They are [used on any game with the stand- i ard size on small game and the im- | proved on large game, making a . dcuble purpose weapon. | Second Gun Developed | i The second gun that Skinner has i helped in the development of is | the 210 Donaldson Wasp. “Tnis is Ithe varmit shooter’s dream,” said the young woman’s lifeless body /was found in bed. | Dr. william P. Blanton was cal- { of | ed, and confirmed the fact death; Chief Deputy U. S. Mar- shal Walter Hellan likewise re- sponded to an early morning call, for investigation. | He learned that she had come in about 10:30 last night, and gone jright to bed, still completely dress- {ddf “Her brother, Willlam Watson, !was there when she arrived. | Hellaa beleves that Mrs. Brown the east coast, the Wasp Is used by benchrest marksmen with phe- nomenal results, according to Skin- ner. Skinner madeé his own reamers and chambered barrels, getting ac- curacy as good at three shots be- ing placed in an area less than one-fourth of an inch at 100 yards. This constitutes a record for Alaska so iar as it known for any size gun. The accredited world’s record for any size gun is the same number cf shets placed in an area measur- ing seven thirty-seconds of an inch. The record was made at Johns- as her Xpression was very peaceful. She | was said to have been slightly ill | for me time. | Besides her brother, Mrs. Brown | s survived by her parents, Mr. and | 3 Jacob Pratt of Hoonah and | three daughters, Charlotte of Kake, Louise Mary, living in Hoonah, and KLatherine, 3-year-old who is at the | Sovernment Hespital.
