THR DATLY ALASKA EMPIRE-JUNEAU, ALASKA 'FORSYTE WOMAN' 10 OPEN SUNDAY; | CAPITOL THEATRE “That Forsyte Woman,” M-G-M's | eagerly-awaited Technicolor picture | based on Book One of John Gals- “wonhy's “The Forsyte Saga,” brings {to the Capitol screen tomorrow the | story of Irene, a woman wooed and won by the three men. The power- fuliy dramatic story comes to life with an all-star cast headed by Er- rol Flynn, Greer Garson, Walter ! Pidgeon, Robert Young and Janet Leigh. Yor Miss Garson, the role is one of the most provocative of her car- cer, with the popular actress again displaying the brilliance of her screen immortals: “Mrs. Chips,” Mrs. Miniver,” “Madame Curie” and Mrs. Parkington.” For Errol ¥iynn, the part of the coldly cruel husband is a complete departure in “Command Decision,” also swit- | ches cinematically in his new role of the sensitive artist through whose !eyes the story of “That Forsyte Wo- | man” is unfolded. | Robert Young returns to M-G-M, | scene of his earlier successes, to por- tray the impetuous young architect, | with Janet Leigh, last seen in “The Red Danube,” again cast in a tragic ! part as Miss Garson's friend-turn- ed-foe.

ALASKA KEY POINTS only hours away by Clipper” — |FIRE CHIEF GIVES HINTS ON HOW YOU CAN HELP AT FIRES| FAIRBANKS—Fire Chief Eugene| ‘Woodcox of Fairbanks is apparently having trouble with spectators dashing to the scene of a fire and hindering the work of his smoke- eaters, In a recent notice to the public, | the chief refrained from denounc- ing the public in a direct manner, but his instructions were so full of sarcasm that they should prove effective. This is what he wrote: “How -to Help the Fairbanks Fire Department. “As soon as the fire alarm starts | sounding, jump into your car and get it started. | “While you are backing out of | your yard, have your wife look for smoke so you can know which {way to go. “If you have two cars, have some other member of your family bring the other one with all pos- sible speed. Thus, you can park one on each side of the street at the scene of the fire. This will en-! able your neighbor, who should be 'right behind you, to park in the middle, “Whatever. you do, don’t fail to get to the fire before the fire truck does (this is imperative). “In case you are late, and can't get right up to the fire dash mad- ly back and forth on the street in the vicinity. “In case you are the first one there, dash up to the house and break out all of the windows, open the doors, to let the smoke out. “In the event that you suddenly decide to leave and ‘find yourself hemmed in by other cars, this is the procedure to follow: Run your car madly ahead and back a few times until you finally run over the fire hose. This important move should always be accompanied by continuously blowing your horn. | old spirit! “Don’t pay any attention to \ the firemen. If they get in your ! way, run over them. They are | just there througha curiosity, | while your presence is import- | ant; besides, they don’t know{ what they are doing. % “At a recent fire there were| | nearly 50 automobiles assembled at | the scene. A section of hose was| ruined by one or more persons| driving over it., That's the goodi “And before you leave, don't fi\il; to make some comparison of our fine department with one you saw | in New York, or some other city | you may have once visited.” ! | In Juneau, local Fire Chief A. M| Mill added his endorsement to the remarks of his Fairbanks colleague but added a special request to bicycle riders to stay out of the way at fires, too.

'LADY IN ERMINE' T0 OPEN TONIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY| A Betty Grable musical is a red letter event in any film season. But the screen’s top-ranking musical star, singing, dancing and romanc- ing with dashing Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., in a scintillating story produced and directed by Ernst Lubitsch in | color by Technicolir, and boasting | a score of brand new song hits, is! cause enough for extra special cele- | bration “That Lady in Ermine,” acclaim- ed as one of the year's most dazzling and delightful productions, is sched- uled to start tonight at the Gross 20th Century Theatre. Flooded with scenes of breath- taking splendor, saucy situations and high-spirited humor, the film unfolds the story of a glamorous countess who saves the ancestral castle from the seige of a dashing and romantic colonel with a secret- weapon that blows the would-be conqueror sky-high into a dream world he never dared hope for.

Betty’s songs include “This Is The Moment,” “There’s Something About Mid- night” and “Oh, what I'll Do,” ameng others. For one of the pic- ure’s most dazzling sequences, the slonde beauty dances barefoot for he first time, wearing a fabulous 500 skin ermine coat. 3ID-OPENINGS, PAST AND FUTURE, INTEREST MANY (ONTRACTORS A series of bid-openings, espec- jally those of two agencies, hold wide interest in construction circ.es both here and outside. | C.
