[ RAYON AND COTTON DRESSES rew= THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA "NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR" IS TONIGHT, CAPITOL THEATRE The story behind the Story of “The Next Voice You Hear ... " is al- most as unusual as the film itself Entering into scenes picture are coffee in New York, a 200-year-old Dutch farm- house in the Catskills, the West Coast’s largest aircraft factory, ".(l\ an actor walking around Culver City in pajamas. It all began when George Albee. a free-lance writer, had lunch with a friend in New York. Over coffee Albee expressed concern over unset- tled world conditions. He wondered if it needed the voice of the Al- mighty to be heard — yes, maybe over the radio — to knock some sense into mankind. At that time, it seemed like a good “gag” on which to hang a series of miracles calculated to make people sit up and think. When Albee returned to his hide- away in the Catskills, the idea per- sisted. He went ahead and wrote a story which not only sold to Cosmo- politan Magazine but also interested the U. S. State Department and Dore Schary, vice president in charge of MGM production. The State Department, impressed with “The Next Voice You Hear . . " had it reprinted and circulated abroad in eleven foreizn languages This unusual feature opens at the Capitol Theatre tonight with an un- usual homey cast.

Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice, is taking off this afternoén or evening in the FWS Grumman Goose for Anchorage. Accompany- ing him as passengers will be Ther- on Smith, who arrived here from Anchorage Saturday, Paul Adams, and Bob Paulsen. Smith is in charge of FWS air- craft and is stationed at Anchorage and Adams is en route to Marshall on the lower Yukon on a bird-band- ing program. Paulsen, electronics technician for FWS is going to An- chorage to re-work and service the FWS radio station.

Noyes, commissioner of the Alaska Road Commission, re- turned to Juneau Sunday from an inspection trip to the interior. Col. Noyes said that he found all &ARC work projects in the interior 1g0ing well and good progress being made by various contractors. The new construction * between Jack Wade and the 40-Mile River is well under way and will be completed this summer; the Tok Cut-off highway re-construction work is go- ing ahead, as is the paving on the lower section of the road. Glen Highway paving is progres- sing as scheduled. The only road, Col. Noyes snid, which will be officially open but ly be in poor shape for s year is the Anchorage- . He said seven con- ts being worked along this oad apd although it will be open to traffic, he added, “I strongly ad- vise the public against use of i this year.” From Anchorage to Mil 58 from Seward is entirely new road and work crews and rough cond tion of the road will make travel| slow and uncomfortable. Col., Noyes described his trip with Col. H. W. Love, commissioner of the Nortbwest Highway System for Canada, and Kenneth Goodscen ARC official from Fairbanks, from Tok to Dawson, Y. T. ° He said the American side was in 12004 condition but the Canadian side is narrow and winding and not well surfaced. He said, however, the Canadian part was espesially scenic as tie road runs along the top of a ridge of mountains. “And when I say it runs along the top of the ridge, I mean just that,” Col. Noyes said. “On the way back I counted the peaks the road tips and there are exactly 30. Frcm each peak the view is magnificent with ranges of snow-covered moun- tains in the distant back grourd and rolling hills in between. From the peak of one mountain,” the Colonel went on, “one can see the road tipping mountain tops two, or three peaks ahead.” He said a 25-car caravan was leaving Fairbanks the middle of August to go to Dawson to cele- prate “Discovery Day” which is an annual event in that Canadian town. A meeting, which had been sched- uled here this week with Cauadian and ARC officials on the prl;pgscd‘ i Tulsequah road up the Taku River has apparently fallen througn Lor the time being, Col. Noyes said. Hon .E. C. Carson, minister of public works; Hon. J. F. Walker, minister of mines and resowrces and Hon, E. T. Kennedy, minust:r of lands and forests, all of British Columbia, had heen invited by ARC and the Governor’s office to meet this week for discussions on build- ing the road but up to this date no word has been received of the Can- adian ministers’ acceptance. It was hoped it could be arranged for a later date. MRS. FAGERSON AND DAUGHTER C0-EDS AT WW( A mother-daughter co-ed team is due -to arrive home on the next arrival of the Princess Louise in Juneau.

Tht Burt Lancaster-Virginia Mayo star- rer was produced by Norma-FR Pro- ductions. In the picture, Lancaster is ¢ mountain man, a Lombardian out- law, while Virginia plays the role of a Hessian princess. As royalty of that era she is proud and austere and Lancaster is presumptuous ever to look at her, so he must watch admire and love her from a respect ful distance. Besides, thgoughout the * story, Lancaster becomes embroilec in so many action-packed episode: that he just doesn't fihd the timc for romance, In the final reel, however, afte the daring rescue of a small boy and the capture of the villian' stronghold, the roughly-dresse. mountain man embraces the elegan’ lady of the court. They kiss. It's no unlike the way boy kisses girl in any motion picture. NORTHWIND LEAVES JUNEAU FOR ARCTIC The U. 8.
