Selznick production now playing at the Capitol Theatre. “Portrait of Jennie” is the film story of the Robert Nathan best- seller which enjoyed three separate publishing successes several years | back, first appearing in Cosmopoli- tan Magazine, then in book form | selling over 500,000 copies, and ulti- | mately in condensed version as a Reader’s Digest feature. “Portrait of Jennie,” called by { many critics the greatest love story | since Romeo and Juligt, lacks none | of the action for which Selznick was | noted in “Gone with the Wind,” and as a climax stages a raging hurri- cane scene calculated to send all audiences running for the storm- cellar. Also important to this feature is | that' it is the first motion picture | ever to use Debussy music for a : musical score and also the first mo- tion picture ever to be scored solely from the works of a standard com- poser of Debussy’s stature. Under musical direction of Dimi- | tri Tiomkin, recording was done in six separate sessions, two of which utilized, in addition to the large orchestra, a special chorus of 28 oices for the unusual choral effects | demanded in the film.

SKAGWAY ELKS T0 ARRIVE THURSDAY, OFFICERS, BOWLERS Twenty members of the Skagway Lodge of Elks, officers and two bowling teams, are scheduled to arrive in Juneau Thursday and will remain here Friday and Saturday during which time entertainment and bowling games will be the pro- gram.

The long first baseman larruped three successive home runs in the first game of a doubleheader at Los Angeles to equal a Coast League record and pace his team to a 19 to 6 triumph. Each of the round trips pers came off a different pitcher in consecutive innings. That also could be some sort of record. The last man to poke three homers in this circuit was Jack Graham. He did it for San Diego in 1948. Sacramento also copped the sec- ond game of the twin bill by a less fantastic margin, 5 to 4, thereby dumping Los Angeles into sixth place. The rest of thé Sunday program went off in normal fashion, too. Oakland was rained out at Seattle; San Francisco and San Diego split a pair, so.did Hollywood and Port- land. This leaves the Hollywoods back in first place again, half a game ahead of the Padres. At Portland, the Stars swatted out an 8 to 5 victory over the Beavers in the opener, then lost by 1 to 0 in a second game shortened to five innings by rain. Hollywood salted the first one away early, jumping on Portland starter Ed Adams for four counters in the first frame. Portland scored its lone run in | the second game on an infield error. | Rain also washed out three games !at Portland earlier last week. At San Francisco, the third place Seals handed Roy Welmaker, San Diego’s ace right hander, his first defeat of the season in the first | game. San Francisco had to come from behind three times to win it, {7to 6. The afterpiece which they lost 8-4, was a heartbreaker for the | Seals. Cliff Melton had a perfect ! game for the first five innings, but he injured his arm and the Padres hammered his relief, Harry Feld- man, for seven runs in the seventh and last inning. The three rained out contests between Oakland and Seattle will {be made up after the Oaks return north July 25. PCL STANDINGS L Pet.

Casey Stengel is niot saying flatly his New York Yankees will repeat as world champions but he figures they’'ll be among the first three in -he American League. With the men wno should know ‘he business best—the managers— the Boston Red Sox and Yankees n the American League and Brook- !yn in the National are favorites in the major league baseball races opening tomorrow. Their comment includes: American League Casey Stengel, New York Yan- kees—“My club will be among the first three in the league. Our pitchers look good and DiMaggio looks like he’s going to have one of his best years. The two elubs we have to worry about most are Bos- ton and Detroit.” Joe McCarthy, Boston Red Sox— ing start and this year the schedule favors us because we will be at home for a considerable stay at the out- set. We need consistent pitching and we have two trumps in Mel Parnell and Ellis Kinder.” National League Billy Southworth, Boston Braves —“This is the best offensive club I, have had in Boston. I'm definitely optimistic about its changes. are much stronger than a year ag Eddie Dyer, St. Louis Cardinals— “We are not conceding anything to anybody. I think we can win if our top men perform as they have in seasons past. Brooklyn is the club to beat.” We WALTER JACKSON OF HOONAH DIES HERE Walter Jackson of Hoonah died Saturday at the Government Hos- pital here. He was 24 He was born in Hoonah. Survivors include his father, Al- bert Jackson; three sisters, Goldie Moses of Hoonah, and Mrs. Ruth and one Mount Esther Howard and Mrs., Lokke, both of Juneau; brother, Frank, in the Edgecumbe Hospital.

Now we'll get first hand proof on who outslicked whom in the New Braves deal. We'll see if Detroit is as good as it looks, and if the “experts” were right in predicting a Brooklyn Dodger-Boston Red Sox World Series. It will be a strange day. No Hal Newhouser pitching for Detroit. No Bobby Feller for Cleveland. No Rip Sewell for Pittsburgh. Newhouser is out with arm trouble. Feller has been bypassed for Bob Lemon. Sewell, winner of 10 straight openers, is managing in the minors. Joe in Game Joe DiMaggio, usually a Johns Hopkins hospital patient at this stage of the game, will be in center field for the New York Yankees. The Yankee clipper missed nine ot 14 previous openers. Sid Gordon, Wiuara Marshall and Buddy -Kerr—three, boys who never played for any big league club ex- cept the Giants—come to the Polo Grounds as enemy Boston Braves Alvin Dark, hoisted from a college campus by the Braves, will be play ing on the other side for the Giants. Two old friends are back as man- agers. Bucky Harris at Washington and Luke Sewell at Cincinnati. Both are consigned to last place or there- abouts. Estimated Attenedance Countiess new millions will see and hear the games by television and radio. Two networks, Mutual and Liberty, will air a “game of the day” daily, the most extensive regu- lar radio coverage ever given. Here's how they'll line up tomor- » | row with the probable attendance: American League New York at Boston, 32,000. Detroit at Cleveland, 60,000. Philadelphia at Washington, 26,000 St. Louis at Chicago, 18,000. National League Brooklyn at Philadelphia, 32,000. Boston at New York, 30,000. Chicago at Cincinnati, 32,000. Pittsburgh at St. Louis (night), 30,000. Opener Under Lights You'll note the “night” after Pittsburgh at St. Louis. That's some- thing new. Never before has a ma- jor league club opened the season under the lights. President Fred Saigh, a confirmed believer in night ball, is the pioneer. It will be a healthy box office move. Advance ticket sales for this jubi- lee year of baseball indicate con- tinued high attendance. Last year the majors drew a total of 20,215,365 only 3 percent behind the 1948 high. If it drops only 3 percent again, all will make money.

The film, co- | starring Jean Arthur, Marlene Diet- | rich, and John Lund, now at the 20th Century Theatre, was unani- mously rated “This Year's Top Pic- ture! The World-Telegram critic said: | “My candidate for this year's Acad- emy award. It will be a mighty| fine day when they make a picture to top ‘A Foreign Affair'—a whale| of a picture.” The New York Times | | reviewer said: “Dandy entertain- ment has wit, worldliness and charm—richly amusing.” The N. Y. Sun wrote: “This Brackett-Wilder team seems unbeatable — another | brilliant picture. Dialogue is funny crisp and real, vastly entertaining.
