Jammed with spectacle and ex- citing action, together with music and romance, this unfortgettable picture has its setting on the Bar- around the world. It takes us into| aristocratic Nob Hill, Tivoli opera house, the historic of old San Francisco—and it takes us through the disaster that leveled a beautiful city to the ground over forty years ago, in a series of the most realistic disaster scenes ever filmed. Clark Gable offers one of his greatest characterizations as Blackie Norton, owner of the most popular resort on the coast. Jeanette Mac- Donald is superb as the country girl who starts her singing career on the Barbary Coast and rises to great operatic heights, only to return to the coast because of the man she loves. Spencer Tracy scores in an unusual role as a kindly priest who chooses the wicked street for his evangelistic work. MT. EDGECUMBE CHORUS DELIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE In a program of vividly contrast- ing songs, the 70-voice Mt. Edge- cumbe Chorus delighted a capacity audience last night at the 20th Cen- tury Theatre. Each with 35 voices, the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs sang, separately and together, under the-skilled. di- rection of the Rev. A. Michael Os- sorgin, who founded the a cappella Igmux;.u and is the inspiration for its remarkable performance. Father Ossorgin’s rich Old World background and training are evi- | denced in the artistic blending ot tone, whether the number is a Negro spiritual, an old English madrigal or a classic of the church. The director calls these numbers “100 percent Alaskan”: “An Aleut Lullaby,” “Thlinget Boatmen” (the paddle song) and “Alaska’s Flag,” with which the combined chorus closed the outstanding program. ‘These were sung in the special ar- rangements made by Director Ossorgin. The concert moved along smoothly and was over all too soon, despite the fact that the audience de- manded many encores. The program was quick and snappy, and marked by “precision performance.” James ‘Williams, tenor, was the only solo performer. Besides being an artistic achieve- ment by the chorus and a fitting climax to Music Week observance, the event last night marked an- other successful venture for the Ju- neau Lions Club. Sponsored by the Lions, the con- cert should go far toward fulfilling the club’s pledge to the Memorial Library Fund. Chairman Martin Holm asks that all Lions make final reports at the meeting Monday, so that a complete accounting may be given at the earliest possible date.

Victor Mature and Richard Conte are co-starred in the lead roles of two sharply contrasting personali- ties—homicide officer Vittorio Can- della and ruthless Martin Rome— whose furious and suspensetul bat- tlesto-death was to engult the lives of those they both loved and hated. The picture, directed by Robert Siodmak of “The Killers” and “Spiral Staircase” fame, was photo- graphed in the new ‘“news-realism” | technique that is said to make the picture’s tense drama and turious action an excitingly vivid, on-the- spot experience for moviegoers.

Clipper cargo volume increased from 436402 pounds last April to 459,584 pounds this April and north- bound air mail volume went up frown 30,692 pounds to 31,867 pounds. Commenting on the pronounced upward trends in Alaska air traffic, McMorran said that Pan American is prepared to assign additional DC-4 Clippers from San Francisco to Seattle and the Alaska region when they are needed.
