After a weekend at Catalina, the Juneauites will go east through Arizona, and see the Grand Canyon and the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. In Poteau, Okla., they will visit Patsy’s sister, Mrs. W. R.

Already it has lived up to extrava- gant advance claims. It is a C-Kelly automatic job press manufactured by American Type Founders. The new model replaces an old Kelly AJ jobber which, as the work- | horse of The Empire Printing Com-~ pany, has carried the load for about a quarter of a century. There's plenty of life in the old one yet, but | the load has been shifted. High-Speed Machinery The high-speed C-Kelly press brings the total in The Empire to five job presses, including three automatic ones. With its pace of 4,200 an hour, the new press doubles any previous speed in the shop. Addition of this press further substantiates the claim of The Em- pire as having the largest and most completely automatic equipped plant in Alaska. The fast fellow is the largest automatic job press in Juneau. It now enables The Empire to give a higher type of work than ever be- fore available here. As always, The Empire leads the way. Capable of taking 17- by 22-inch sheets of every weight paper trom onionskin to six-ply stock, the C-K prints in colors, as well as in black and white. Now, The Empire can do much of the specialized printing that previously had to be sent out- side. JHigh-Grade Work This press is particularly suited for printing high-grade booklets, tourist folders, programs and sim- ilar material. Although the press is not brand, shiney new, Job Shop Foreman Ken were—perhaps more so. He says he knows it was eased in, not broken in, and it was used less than'a year. The C-Kelly was purchased from the Deers Press in Seattle, through Harry Strang, one of the owners. It was made available only because of lack of room when Strang sjand- ardized his shop with presses of another make. The tricky job of getting the over- weight crate into The Empire shop began long before its arrival on the Flemish Knot—it began when Jim Orme and Don Abel got to- gether to figure every stress and strain. Came Saturday afternoon, May 6, and plans were put into action. At the Alaska Steamship Company dock, the four-ton package had been hoisted onto Orme's truck by two lift jitneys. (Actual weight was 7,800 pounds, but that was close enough to four tons for the side- walk supervisors.) Through Double Window Orme and his men — Severin Swanson, Jr., and Chester Zenger —worked at getting it through the big double window high above the street after it had been lifted by a Hayes and Whiteley crane. While steel floats held the equipment on the hill, Gordon McDonald operated the 20-ton Lorain motor crane, which has an 8-ton lifting capacity. 8. P. Whiteley was the rigger, put- ting the slings on the heavy crate. Meantime, Don Abel and crew had prepared the way inside the build- ing. First, they made sure the tloor was in good shape, and reinforced it from the beams on the press room ceiling. Abel and his crew took out the wide double window and casing, and made other preparations. As the windows are four feet above floor-level, the carpenters built a cribbing across the shop, slanting from window to floor. Working with Abel were Henning Berggren, Ted Tillingham and George Stover. Easy Does It Inch by inch, everyone helped to keep the press hanging in perfect balance, then eased it through the window, slid it carefully down the ramp on greased timbers, and jacked it down onto the floor. One of the men, who has been here a long time, thinks it was the only such heavy piece of machinery to go through a window for instal- lation in Juneau. That window was replaced the following morning, new panes be- Waller is as pleased as though u:| "KEY LARGO" IS FEATURED BILL ' AT20TH CENTURY A million-dollar cast with Hump- *hrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, | Lurean Bacall features Warner Bros.' sensational dynamite-packed film, “Key Largo,” which is an- nounced as the attraction starting tonight at the 20th Century The- | atre. In addition to the above trio| of stellar names, Lionel Barrymore and Claire Trevor are featured, and Thomas Gomez and John Rodney | are cast in important supplementary assignments. “Key Largo,” based on the Max- { well Anderson play as produced on | the stage by the Playwrights Com- pany, has been directed by John Houston, the ace director who turned out “Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” another Bogart, winner. This film marks Robinson’s first appearance on the Warner lot since | 1942, His “Little Caesar” still lin- {gers as one of Hollywood's greatest | performances and in “Key Largo” he returns to this type of character. It is also interesting to note Miss Bacall’s new personality in the film. In place of the girl who generally gives out smart quips, she plays a straight heroine role which reveals new facets of her vivid personality. Barrymore plays most of his role from a wheelchair, however this bit adds to the effectiveness ot the part, especially when the sparksy begin to fly between the principal personalities. Music for the production was di- rected under Max Steiner’s skilled baton. LARGEST CLASS IN| U.
