Happenings
The organization of the first
legislature of the State of Alaska
was a most impressive and his
toric occasion. Hugh Wade in his
capacity as Secretary of State
presided during the ceremonies
held in first the House, and then
the Senate, while federal Judge
Raymond J. Kelly administered
the oath of office to the legis
lators.
A hitch occurred in the admin
istration of the oath to the
minority party senators when
Senator Moody moved that Mr.
William Boardman stand aside
until a special committee of the
Senate could examine the election
ballots which resulted in a tie
Between Mr. Boardman and Mr.
^Smith, both of Ketchikan. Secre
tary of State Wade requested Mr.
Boardman to stand aside until the
committee .could act. The Com
mittee found in favor of Mr. Smith

in that 5 of 6 ballots erroneously
disallowed, were in favor of Mr.
Smith.
The House and Senate were
both organized in a few hours,
with Wm. Beltz of Nome elected
President of the Senate, and
Warren Taylor, formerly of
Kodiak, elected Speaker of the
House.
Kodiak’s representatives all re
ceived positions on vital com
mittees. Pete Deveau was assigned

mittee; Henry Haag to State
Affairs and Local Government; A1

, Today
Betty Hutton and Dana Andrews
appear today on the screen of the
Orpheum Theatre, in “Spring Re
union.”
Also on the same billing is “Lost
Planet.”
Sunday and Monday
Graham Greene’s controversial
novel, which was anti-American in
theme, has been largely white
washed in this film version en
titled “The Quiet American,”
written, directed by Joseph L.
Mankiewica. The movie is said to
have been splendidly filmed in
Saigon and Vietnam. Audie
Murphy stars as the quiet Ameri
can, and is supported by Michael
Redgrave, Claude Dauphin, Gloria
Moll—the latter as Phuong, the
lovely native girl who is romanti
cally involved with the American
and an Englishman.
The story revolves around the
idealistic American, who unwitt
ingly aids the Communists in
lndo-Ctuna.
Tuesday and Wednesday
Reviewed as “an excellent
western action drama,” “Fury at
Showdown,” has top assets with
a cast of actors who have played
memorable parts in earlier films.
These include John Derek, John
Smith, Carolyn Craig, Nick Adams,
Gage Clarke, Robert E. Griffin
and Frances Morris.
Emphasis in this film has been
put on a realistic portrayal of life
in an early western town. It is the
story of a gun fighter they called
yellow.
On the same billing is “The
Iron Sheriff,” an off-beat western
with more plot complications and
less “riding-and-shooting” than
the average outdoors action fare.
The movie is concerned mostly
with the murder trial of a sheriff’s
teenage son and the events leading
up to it.
In the cast, among others are
Sterling Hayden, Constance Ford
and Kent Taylor.
Thursday and Friday
A double billing is offered. This
time it is “5 Steps to Danger” and
“The Man Who Turned To Stone.”
The first is an interest-holding
espionage drama with Ruth Roman
and Sterling Hayden. Produced
and directed by Henry S. Kesler
from his own screenplay, the
movie is based on a Sateve serial
by Donald Hamilton.
Columbia Pictures’ “The Man
Who Turned To Stone,” spine
tingling horror-thriller of a stone
creature who preys on 3/oung
women, is the second movie on
the same billing. Victor Jory, Ann
Doran and Charlotte Austin carry
the blunt of this thriller.
