SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1951 Tomorrow is the beginning of “MOVIETIME, U.SA.!" or more specifically "MOVIETIME, JUNEAU!” We inviteyou to join us in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the motion picture theatre. We have been extremely fortunate in obtaining one of the finest pictures ever made fo begin this year-long celebration . . . none other than M. G. M.'s "“THE MAGNIFICENT YANKEE". The unfortunate part ahout this engagement is that we can have it for two days only. Nevertheless, with five performances Sunday and two on Monday we can easily entertain a great part of Juneau. We hope the readers of this letter will take advantage of the early showings on Sun- day so as many people as possible can see this picture. We have worried a long time about this show, trying to find ways to urge as many people as possible to see “THE MAGNIFICENT YANKEE" because it is one of those stories that all movie-goers constanily ask for. And'now that it is here we want you to believe us that this is it! Frankly, we cannot even think of the words to describe it fo you. “THE MAGNIFICENT YANKEE" isn't ter- rific or even colossal . . . it's just good . . . extra good . . . and we feel it's com- forting 1o be able to write you with confidence and honesty. Maybe, as a title, "THE MAGNIFICENT YANKEE" doesn't mean much fo you. Briefly, it brings fo the screen the Washington years of one of the country’s most brilliant jurists, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. That's it, and you prob- ably still are not convinced that it is what you want to see. Well . . . you want . 10 see wholesome, inspiring motion pictures, don't you? Believe us, this picture projects a humanity you seldom see on the screen. The stars, LOUISCALHERN and ANN HARDING recreate a life we would, give anything to live ourselves. It's not a stufly picture, it's unabashedly human, generous in its humor and pathos. Yes, we certainly have a wonderfu! piece of entertainment to begin another fifty years of America’s most popular form of pleasure . . . THE MOVIES! Added Enieriainment from M-G-M Travel . . Cartoon .

MARION HUTTON j:?.;'\ ENDS TONITE! fiévielimé; USA; i Comes fo Juneau With Fine Picture Announcing local participation in the national film jubilee known as “It's Movietime, U.S.A.” manager Ted Heyder of the Capitol Theatre Jjoins in the formal opening of what promises to be the most distin- guished screen season in the history of films, beginning in October. i car marks jthe golden an- y of the American film the- atre,” said Heyder yesterday. “Fifty years ago the first film theatre was built for the express purpose of showing films. Every Hollywood producer has garnered the best skills on his lot, and in the cooperative effort with every other producer and distributor, he has come up with a schedule of pictures which repre- sent the sum total of the best all studios have to offer.” Taken all together, Hollywood will release in the course of the forthcoming sea- son the very finest pictures it can jmake.” Inspired by a definite upswing at the boxoffice during the past months, the entire film jamboree has been designed to follow the pub- lic’s ‘expressed desires and demands in screen entertainment. “The Magnificent Yankee,” a biography of Chief Justice Oliver ‘Wendell Holmes, is the Capitol's first movietime jubilee picture. Skagway's Days of '98 Chairman Visifs Here Plans for the visit to Juneau| Elks in November of Skagway's! Days of '98 show brought Mr. and rs. Maurice H. Wheaton here this week. Wheaton is chairman of | Skagway’s Days of '08 Committee | and plan to return with the Skag- way troup this winter. “Best tourist season since the war,” Wheaton said of Skagway’s business this summer. Anyone who has visited Skagway during the tourist season has wit- nessed the “Days of '88" show the whole town puts on for tourists. While the town’s show did not pro- fit greatly this year—business gen- erally from the tourists was good. Wheaton has the production costs on his “Days of '98” down to the penny. “It costs us a minimum of $113 to put on a show.Some of the |smaller ships carry only about 100 | passengers and we can never figure lon more than 75 percent of the | passenger list attending.
