THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE-—-JUNEAU, ALASKA = PAGE FIVE 'DASHING ACTION IN FEATURE BILL, | CAPITOL THEATRE Pounding, dashing action plus the breathtaking natural beauty of frontier women and frontier” vistas make for satisfying entertainment in “Black Bart,” Universal-Inter- national's current Technicolor offering on the screen of the Capi- tol Theatre. The always popular Yvonne De Carlo is seen as that glamorous | figure, Lola Montez, toast to the world's playboys during the nine- ! teenth century. Miss De Carlo co- | stars with Dan Duryea, who essays | the title role, and Jeffrey Lynn, who plays the bandit's partner in larceny. _The story deftly mingles fact and {ancy in that it relates the ill-fated {career of the colorful holdup man Black Bart, who makes life miser- acle for the valiant California pio-, neers of the Wells Fargo Express Company. Black Bart is known to {have operated at the time the illus- itiious Lola Montez toured the state. i Their love story is poignantly pre- |sented against magnificent scenic vistas filmed by Irvin Glassberg. Miss De Carlo’s dancing talents are colorfully set forth and the star adds laurels to her rising reputa- Ition as a dramatic actress. Duryea, .of course, is entirely at ease with| his diamond-hard smoothness in a| role which best can be described as a sympathetic heavy. DOUGLAS NEWS WANT TO TAKE A TRIP? A trip to Seattle and return via Pan American Airways, or a scenic trip via steamer, if you are fortun- ate! So says the Ways and Means Committee of the Douglas Island Woman’s Club. It was decided by the Committee, in order to raise funds to finance improvements to the stage at the 'Douglas gym, that a roundtrip to Seattle would be awarded. Twice, in previous years, this same award has been made and a very fine sum,| was reaiized for the good work of the club. Tickets will be sold by all Club members, and anyone wishing to participate in this project may con- tact Mrs. Kenneth Clem, phone 27, Mrs. Jay Hoskins, phone 48, or Mrs. | Marcus Jensen, phone 202. The ward is to be made at the| May 11 D.I.W. Club meeting. H i | VISITING AT McCLELLANS | Mrs. George Kunz, daughter of | aska, and is visiting at the home of her parents in Douglas.
