Henry story, packed with thrills and full of rewarding entertainment for| movie-goers. The production is an outdoor ad- | venture drama about a lovable vaga- bond who was branded an outlaw, a headstrong girl and a great horse, and is based on the noted author’s famous story, “The Passing of Black Eagle.” O. Henry's wellknown gift for creating real characters and in- volving them in a yarn crackling with unusual twists is skilfully| blended into this outstanding Co-! lumbia film.

An exclusive with Thomas Hardware and Furniture Juneau pacity Audience Make Notable Evening Waves of applause swelled through the 20th Century Theatre at the concert last night, before a note of music was heard. When the red plush curtains parted, revealing Juneau’s new con- cert piano, the spontaneous out- burst came from every part of the crowded auditorium. At that mo- ment, the Baldwin concert grand piano seemed to take on a per- sonality of its own, as though aware of the important place it will have for years in the musical life of the capital of Alaska. And, with a sure sense of fitness the artist of the evening saw to it that the first notes sounded on it publicly were those of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Friends who know how proud the Russian-born pianist is of his American citizenship were aware that the moment had special sig- nificance for Maxim Schapiro, aside from his pleasure in playing the dedicatory concert on the piano he had selected and helped to acquire The black and white keys of the Baldwin grand were not the only ones in evidence at the little dedica- tory ceremony. Ernest Ehler, President of the Juneau Concert Association, greeted and welcomed the capacity audi- ence, thanking Juneau music-lovers for realizing the dream of a fine concert instrument. Then he handed Mayor Waino Hendrickson a tour- foot gilded key labeled “key to con- cert grand.” Hendrickson, protesting that he didn’t know one musical key from another, produced an oversize “key to the city” which he gave Schapiro, proclaiming him an honorary citizen of Juneau. “The only requirement,” said the mayor, “is that you must spend as much time as possible here, and lkeep playing that piano.” Schapiro accepted the key ac flashbulbs popped for photographs, and said, “I cannot say in words how deeply touched I am. I shall try to express my appreciation on this very special piano of pianos.” Plays National Anthem That is when he moved impul- sively to it, and played the National Anthem with the audience quickly rising. Schapiro gave a concert of first magnitude, one which tested the resources of the master instrument and showed the richness now at the artist’s command, in depth and blending of tone in subtle nuances, and in volume. The formal classicism of Beeth- oven was followed by two Rachma- ninoff preludes, the first romantic and lyric in nature, the second a stirring one in the Russian com- poser’s most precise rhythmic style, except for a short contrasting me- lodic line. Darius Milhaud’s “L’Album de teen characteristic vignettes in the modern manner, some poignant, others playful and “Autographe” so short and clear-lined you could al- most see the page. Nostalgically, one went from “Sadness” to “Song,” to “Play,” to “the Chase . . . a sigh . a thought . . . and the last page. Liszt’s brilliant “Tarantella” closed the first half of the program. The second was dedicated to Cho- pin, with Schapiro playing these numbers he announced from the stage: “Barcarolle,” six preludes, fragile “Nocturne in C-Sharp Mi- nor” and the contrasting, firey, ever-popular “Polonaise in A Flat.” Declining to give encores although the applause more than warranted them, Schapiro returned as master of ceremonies, giving a short trivute to the importance of local musi- cians in a city’s musical life. Local Artists Introduced by the visiting artist, Corinne Kenway, violinist, and Ruth Popejoy, planist, played two move- ments from a Cesar Franck sonata for violin and piano, and an in- strumental trio played ‘“Romance” by Debussy and “Russian Dance” by Friml, In this ensemble were Jane McMullin, pianc; Phyllis Langdon, violin and William Reedy, i "cello. ‘ Escorting Marye Berné Ehler on stage, Schapiro said, “She had to take whatever accompanist was around,” then sat down again at the Baldwin and played accompani- ments for her two brilliant soprano solos: “Apres un Reve” by Faure, and “Floods of Spring” by Rach- maninoff Again the guest artist declined to respond with encores to the crowd’s applause. This was in keep- ing with his expressed wish mat. the concert close with music by the local artists whose music has fos- tered interest to the point where “a noble instrument” became a neces- | sity.” The first concert on Juneau’s ommunity piano was over. The star of the evening, was y encased in its flannel- lined canvas robe to await the next health-giving treatment — befng nlayed. Pianos thrive on it. | This one seemed to smile with | satisfaction, along with the audi- ance. With Schapiro and the Juneau musicians, Concert Association | ;ommittee members were guests of | Mrs. Ernest Gruening at an infor. mal party later, in the Governor's House. Miss Shirley Jones of Fair- banks entertained with popular piano numbers, This afternoon, Schapiro played | for Douglas school children, and visited the Minfield Home. One of the unusual features of| the dedicatory concert was the| 8-page souvenir program in the format of a tabloid newspaper. This was the brain-child of a lut-mov—‘ ing committee numbering Comdr. | Edward P. Chester, Jr., chairman; Fred Dunn and Peter Wood. n a! short all-out effort, they obtained; the enthusiastic support of local advertisers and arranged for the articles in the news columns. Coples of the program are available at the| Baranof Hotel Cigar Stand, at 10 cents. | | | | PACIFIC NORTHERN | BRINGS 17; TAKES 17 Nine persons arrived yesterday from Anchorage via Pacific North-| ern Airlines, which carried 17 on the return to the westward.
