GAMBLER INFILM | CAPITOL THEATRE Clark Gable was cast in a familiar | role when he began his gambling | scenes in M-G-M's “Any Number | Can Play,” now showing at the Capitol Theatre. Several of the star's biggest hits on the screen | have been in gambler characteriza- | tions, including his first major suc-| cess in “A Free Soul” opposite | Norma Shearer. Since then, he has appeared as a gambling man in “San Francisco,” “Gone With The Wind" and “Honky Tonk." | Yet, in real life Gable steers clear of games of chance. He used to play poker occasionally until he was drawn into a game overseas with several of his wartime buddies. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA They could ill afford to lose and, “ Gable’s luck apparently couldn’t help but win. “I even drew three cards to a flush once and hit it,” he said. He was so embarrassed by that’ turn of the game that he swore | off it for life. In “Any Number Can Play” the! star has a new leading lady in the person of Alexis Smith, cast as his devoted wife. The impressive sup- porting cast features Wendell Corey, Audrey Totter, Frank Morgan, Mary | Astor and Lewis Stone. BOY SCOUTS AT JAMBOREE HAVE GLORIOUS TIME Alaska’s - contingent of 37 boys and five men arrived early on the| morning of June 27 at Valley Forge, Pa., for their three-day pre-Jam- boree training camp, according 10; a report received from scout ex- ecutive Maurice Powers, in charge | of the group. The group left Al-| ska June 12, sailing from Seward | on the steamship Alaska and pick-| ing up members as the vessel sailed | south. After a one-day stay at the | YM.CA. in Seattle, they went to St. Paul where they joined the 350 Seattle scouts with whom they | travelled, in a swim at Lake Phelan. Proceeding on to Chicago they were the guests of Marshall' Field Company for a special sight-! seeing tour, big league ball game, and luncheon. From Chicago the group went to Washington, D. C., where they were met by Council President George Parks and Alaska’s Delegate Bob Bartlett. Six hours of sightseeing at the nation’s capital included a visit to Mt. Vernon and a tour of the important shrines and build- ings. Neckerchief Swapping | Formal opening of the Jamboree ' Rice, Juanita Graham, Ann Pusich (& call for the Douglas volunteer was June 30th, when the entire assemblage of 45,000 boys and meni participated in a huge celebration. Alaska’s delegation comprises one! troop of Section 30, each section having over 1,000 scouts. Alaska’'s| boys have two genuine totem poles with them, which they are using| in the troop archway entrance. Boys from the Territory have al-| ready been besieged by thousands of state-side scouts to “swap” their attractive gold neckerchiefs which were especlally stencilled with a| totem pole and the name “Alaska.” | Thousands of boys from every| section of the country are gettlng1 their fitst impression of Alaska and its opportunities from the Territory’s delegation of 42 boys| and men. Powers reports that the | group is in good health and ex- cellent spirits, despite some dis- comfort in getting acclimated to the unusual heat. Boys Well Disciplined “The Alaska troop is well dis- ciplined and well trained and is bringing credit to their commun- ities as they move about the nation on this Jamboree trip,” Powers said, as he reported many com- pliments on the group’s appearance and performance. Scouts will leave the Jamboree | on July 7, proceeding to New York City for a two-day stay, thence to Rochester, Niagara Falls, De- troit, Denver and Salt Lake City. They will return from - Seattle July 15, ending their five or six weeks tour, depending on which section of Alaska is their home. Troop® Assignments Leading the group from Alaska are Rev. Victor Alfsen of Palmer, Thomas Cashen of Douglas, Ed- ward Browne of Fairbanks and Chester Zenger of Juneau.
