THIS IS ONLY 1-3 OF OUR GIANT TRIPLE BILL that you will SU Nll) AY Celebration of our 20th ANNIVERSARY and 20 YEARS of M-G-M PICTURES on our screen! ——ALSO—— RED SKELTON "Watch the Birdie” "TOM and JERRY in the Hollywood Bowl" CAPITOL THEATRE, M-G-M CELEBRATE ON NEXT SUNDAY Juneau’s new thcatre, the Capitol, was opened the previous evening under most favorable auspices. Lines of persons formed on the sidewalk in front of the playhouse to buy tickets for both first and second shows, with the result that every seat downstairs and in the gallery was occupied at each performance. The rich, istic decorations, the lighting effects and comfortable cheairs drew praiseworthy comment. The rcund details were perfect. The opening attraction was Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer’s “Let Us Be Gay,” starring Norma Shearer and Marie Dressler. That was 20 years ago, January 15, 1931. Since then the Capitol Theatre has entertained untold thousands achieving the rep- utation as the showplace of Juneau, And, for 20 years Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer pictures have graced the screen of the Capitol with attrac- tions that have made this studio the colossus of the motion picture industry. It is altogether fitting that this motion picture company and Juneau’s Capitol Theatre should join now in celebration of 20 years of uninterrupted entertainment for Juneau’s moviegoers. The one week celebration will be- gin Sunday with a gigantic triple bill provided by MGM studio. “The MGM Story” is the most unusual film ever made for movie fans, It's a cinch to impress patrons that motion picture entertainment is the best fun for everyone. “Watch the Birdie” is Red Skel- ton’s latest picture, and very pos- sibly his funniest. “Tom and Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl,” brings the many time Award Winners in one of their funniest efforts. The next attraction will be MGM's " starrifg Cary Grant and s Academy Award winner, Jose Ferrer. A COUNTRY CLUB Open every nite 6 p.m. Chicken, Steaks, Seafoods.

Williams, today contacted the National Pro- duction Board in an effort to obtain a permit to get materials for com- pletion of the Sturm Locker plant being built at Ninth and E s S. The present location of the lockers in AB hall, must be moved to make way for the new Territorial build- ing work on which is scheduled to start in the next few weeks Robert L. Hosmer, represer ive of the National Production Author- ity, who was here from the Seattle sffice a week ago, stopped work on he new Sturm building on grounds that Sturm had not obtained a per- it from National Production Au- thority Hosmer age and F: who went on to Anchor- rbanks from here, is du back in Juneau in another week or two. Meanwhile, it is hoped that the permit may be obtained to avoid added delay in construction of the new Sturm building or the Terri- torial building to be erected on the site of the AB hall.
