A Real Work Saver! "THOMAS HARDWARE, ot o BIG FEATURE "RED RIVER" NOW HERE, CAPITCL THEATRE Movie fans who like their film fare set against the great outdoors, |should have a wonderful time see- ing Howard Hawks' great Western, “Red River,” the Monterey Pro- duction which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre through United Artists release. The film is packed with actlon, colorful characteriza- tions and suspense-packed drama. John Wayne, whose name at once arouses thoughts of a rugged and vital personality, plays to the hilt the heroic role of Thomas Dunson, a romantic character whose dream of building a cattle | cmpire in - the great ' €outhwest forms the nucleus of the film's story. Young Montgomery Clift, as his adopted son, Matthew Garth, also turns in a performance that is as brilliant as it is different. Co-starfed with Wayne and Clift {are Walter Brennan, playing one of those delightful, crochety characters he has made famous, and a lovely young star named Joanne Dru, who has already made her mark in Hollywood. “Red River” is a Western saga ‘adapted from Borden Chase's ex- jciting Saturday Evening Post 5- | part serial, “The Chisholm Trail” | The story tells of Thomas Dunson’s safari from Texas to Kansas, as the head of a group of over five hundred cowboys who are bringing !porth a herd of cattle, numbering in the thousands, to what they trust will be a railroad, thus open- ling up the entire market of the east to Texas cattlemen. The trip is fraught with danger, including an Indian attack, a cat- tle stampede, and the hazardous {crossing of the famous Red River by men, horses and cattle. Although the story possesses the scope of such classic Westerns as “The Covered Wagon” and “Cimar- ron,” never for a moment does Producer-Director Hawks let his| audiences forget'that he had a dra- matic story to tell—a story that | concerns principally the tough- | thinking, hard-headed pioneer, | Thomas Dunson, whose methods of | driving his men run counter to the |ideas of Matthew Garth. - COMMUNICATION ETO The Editor of The Empire | Subject: Sportsmanship. I recently saw a good example of | sportsmanship. I have to put it} | that way because it came from a good Juneau sportsman. On arriv- ing at my cabin up Taku Inlet, I was informed that seal hunters! | were living in it. I says, Oh-oh— and oh, oh it was, for when I op- ened the door I saw something I never expected to see. There were seal scalps nailed up back of the stove, seal oil on the floor and seal oil on the porch outside. On the other side of the stove against the wall was a soaked up carton of half-rotten garbage. There was dirt on the floor and guns, blankets, clothes and what have you scattered about. A general all around mess. That was bad enough, but when I found out just WHO it was, I| nearly fell over. I was informed he was out hunting seals, so I waited for him to return. I did not have long to wait before he came. I let him open the door and come in. I looked at him for a minute and then asked him if he was Mr. —. Of course, I would not think of mentioning his name. The Gentleman Sportsman said “yes.”” I said, “Well, I don't like i to say anything out of place, but after certain things that have come to pass, (and I won't mention that either) I never thought YOU would come into a man’s cabin and mess it up like this.” He just looked at me for a minute without saying a word, then in a feeble sort of a way, said that he left in a hurry that morning and did not have time to clean up. § I replied, “However, I doubt your word very much, for I have seen some dirty housekeepers, but never saw one who could create that joffer to return any to make up; ATHB DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU,; ALASKA Mym E. Scott, general manager of the All-American Soap Box Derby and easistant advertising manager of Chevrolet, co-sponsor of the race, illustrates the new Low-cut eockp:t in a model racis much dirt in one day. I think it is high time you went to some good| school and took a post graduate| course in housekeeping.” I went) on to tell him how much wood I left there last fall and pointed out how much was there now. He had nothing to say, only that he bm'-‘ rowed some coal from one of the) other cabins. One fisherman 1s minus three sacks, and another, one sack. Where it went, they, of course, can't prove. The place must have been cased earlier or, possibly, last fall after fishing season, for no sane man would go up there to camp in the spring without taking fuel along. While T was face to face with] this Juneau Sportsman, he did not have common politeness enough to thank me for thé use of the cabin. or for the wood he used, or even for what he used. I informed him that he wouid| have to move, and he said he would right away, and he did. However, after I left and went out fishing, he must have had a change of heart, for the mext day I went to my cabin to see what shape it was in, and, as the old saying goes, t0| give the devil his due, and, with all due respect, etc. etc. to the Gen- tleman Sportsman, I found he had swamped it out minus the seal oil and stink, and I found a note on the stove which read in part, and as they say on the radio, I quote: “Thanks a lot for the use of your cabin.. If I owe you anything for it, let me know in Juneau. Thanks, } again. Signed — " Unquote. After going in my cabin without permission, burning my wood, foul- ing the place up with seal oil and dirt, and never offering to thank, me in person, he has the unmitigat- ed gall to come back in this nute' and say “IF (?) I owe you any- thing . . . ”"! I have beén amply! repaid in the knowledge I gained as to just what a true Sportsman is, or at least puts himself up to be. Understand, of course, this does not ! apply to the fraternity as a whole. A year ago last fall, I put a pad- lock on the door, but found it broken open in the spring. Last fall, I nailed a board across the door to keep the Taku from bust- ing it off the hinges. The board| had to be pried "off to get in. this Sportsman had displayed one- one hundredth part of the appre- ciation for my cabin as I do for the seals he shot, it would have look- ed like a million dollars instead of a garbage dump with the essence of a whaling station thrown in, but I guess that is one phase of his kind of Sportsmanship.

A man is wel- come to use my cabin if he will ask me, and then treat it with respect, but when a man who claims to be the Sportsman this gentleman does, messes up my cabin the way he did, I object. In conclusion, I wish to say if that is the kind of Sportsmanship cne has to display in order to get one's name before the public, I for one prefer to remain In seclusion, and I repeat the old, old saying, “May Heaven bless you, the Devil| of fish in miss you, and all your troubles be " and in the future it 1s! hoped, you will make. your rendez- | little ones,” vous of filth elsewhere.

IRON OUT PROBLEMS FOR APARTMENTS AT WEST JUNEAU SITE All obstacles in the path of start- construction on the 100-unit epartment development at West Ju- | neau have been apparently satis-| factorily solved, Mayor Waino Hendrickson said today. Project plans have now been drawn up in detail and formal ap- plication to the Federal Housing Authority is expected within the next few days. Assuming processing of the plans does not take undue time, some units are expected to be ready for cccupancy soon after September 1, according to the Bayview Apart- ment «Housing Company project developers. Fire protection has been assured the apartments by the City of Ju-, neau. The Alaska Road Commis- sion is expected to solve the prob- lem of street grading and main- tenance. Private capital will fi- nance water and sewerage con- !struction, with the local utility i company providing power. BETA SIGMA PHI MEETS TOMORROW The Beta Sigma Phi will meet tomorrow at 12:30 o'clock at lunch- eon in the Baranof hotel. Im- portant husiness will be discussed and all memiers are requested to be in attendance.

Bing and Bob will “e seen as a couple of footloose | musicians, Bing a clarinet player and Bob a whiz with the trumpet. | For reasons stemming from Bing's | mterest in pretty girls, the two men | are down to their last buck and| are forced to do carnival work.| When they manage to wreck the place, as only they can, it becomes | urgent to leave the country in a { hurry. | | Then there begin many merry | | mixups.

Robert Treat has accepted this duty. The Kiwanis Club, hard at work on plans for the fun zone on Sew- ard Street, announces that actual booth reservations will not be hand- led through the club.
