BRAZIL'S CHRISTMAS
FEATURED PERFORMAKCES
OF THE MIRACLE PLAYS
Brazilian Christmas festivities
embrace an aggregation of modern
observances entwined • with ancient
traditions brought over Horn the
mother country of Portugal.
The Christmas season in Brazil
begins on Christmas Eve and ends
with Epiphany on January 6. And
because it is really summertime
(south of the equator> festivities
and entertainments appropriate to
summertime hold sway throughout
the season.
Miracle plays have always been j
performed in adoration of the Holy '
Child. Frcm olden times, the plays
have had all the dramatic fervor j
of a religious performance together
with the gracious hospitality of a [
social function.
The scene is at once solemn and
fantastic, with costumes bedecked
with feathers, spangles, jewels and
what-nct sparkling in a setting of I
luxurious tropical foliage and blos
soms.
Out of the great variety of mira- ]
cle plays, all on different themes, |
of which many are in the form of
elaborate dances meticulously per- i
fermed and accompanied by the1
music of an orchestra, the dance j
of the Pour Parts of the World
may be cited as a typical exam
ple.
The roles are enacted by girls
dressed for the part and, in suc
cession, Europe, Asia, Africa and
American declaim. The discussion
finally involves their respective
rights to make oblation to the
Christ Child. Eventually, Father
Time appears and settles the dis
pute to the satisfaction of all con
cerned.

GABLE, YOUNG IN
FAS! COMEDY AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
Clark Gable and Loretta Young,
two Academy Award-winning stars,
are teamed in “Key to the City,"
the big new M-G-M attraction at
the Capitol Theatre for three days j
starting Sunday.
It’s the rollicking story of two ■
mayors, one a former longshoreman.1
the other a girl graduate of Har
vard. who meet at a San Francisco:
convention and leave that city prac-1
tically hanging on the Golden Gate
Bridge after a whirlwind romance.
In his most hilarious comedy role 1
since the memorable “It Happened 1
One Night," Gable is seen as the
two-fisted longshoreman who be-1
comes mayor of a large city and j
defeats a gang of crooked politicians,
then finds himself making a losing
fight against love. Miss Young, fol
lowing her recent hit in “Come to
the Stable,” enacts the prim lady
mayor from Maine who loses her
dignity after a series of breath
taking and rib-tickling escapades
with Gable.
The picture marks the first ap
pearance of the two stars since their
joint success in “Call of the Wild.”
Marilyn Maxwell, who scored as
the prizefighter’s moll in “Cham
pion,” and Pamela Britton, return
ing to the screen after starring on i
the stage in "Brigadoon," have out- |
standing roles as two beautiful but i
dumb girl friends of Gable. Miss |
Maxwell, as a night club entertainer !
inroduces the sensational Atom !
Dance, while Miss Britton has a j
riotous characterization as “Miss!
Unconscious." I
Others in a hand-picked support- 1
ing cast include ■ Frank Morgan j
playing a fire chief, Raymond Burr j
as Gable’s political enemy, James;
Gleason as a police sergeant, Lewis !
Stone, back in the role of a judge. |
and Raymond Walburn as a hen- j
pecked husband.
"MY FRIEND IRMA
GOES WEST" COMES
TO 20TH CENTURY
Get set to laugn your sides off!
That wonderfull of fun-makers,
Irma’s Friends, are back. They will i
whirl their way into the 20th Cen- |
tury Theatre tomorrow with a hur
ricane of laughs in Paramount’s
hilarious holiday laugh hit, “My
Friend Irma Goes West.”
Irma’s trip ils a Joyride for all as
she and her friends head for Holly- ;
wood. Marie Wilson is again seen
as Irma in the role she made fa
mous on the air. Back again Is
John Lund as her shiftless boy
friend Al. and Diana Lynn as her
sarcastic but staunch girl-friend
Jane. And those two madmen, Dean
Martin and Jerry Lewis are not only
back as Steve and Seymour, but
they are better than before and
funnier than anything you can
imagine. Added dressing to this
lustrous assemblage is gorgeous
Corrine Calvert and an incredible
chimpanzee, Pierre.
The riotous Hal Wallis produc
tion follows the adventures of Irma
and her gang as they fall for a
lunatic’s movie offer to star Steve
as a great singer-actor. They dis
cover the fraud on the train trip
and find themselves stranded in
Los Vegas as gangsters, Indians and
romance get tangled up together.
Coming out of all of this is a sue- j
cession of laugh situations designed !
to keep you rolling in the aisles.

SUNDAY WEDDING
OF JUNEAU COUPLE
IS ANNOUNCED
Miss Alice Margare’ Thornborrow,
daughter of Mr. anc. Mrs. John
Thornborrow of Irvine, California,
will become the bride of Mr. Ray
mond Albert Olsen, son- of Mr. Chris
Olsen of Petersburg and Mrs. Kir
sten Shirk of Douglas, at a wedding
ceremony to be performed at 4
o’clock tomorrow afternoon at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Denny Mer
ritt in Douglas. Judge Gordon Gray,
U. S. Commissioner, will perform
the ceremony.
Attendants for the couple will be
Mr. and Mrs. Denny Merritt.
A reception for the newlyweds
will be held at 8 o’clock tomorrow
evening at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Cashen in Douglas. Mrs.
Cashen is a sister of the groom-to
be.
The wedding ceremony will be at
tended by members of the family
and the friends of the young couple
are invited to attend the evening
reception.
Both Miss Thornborrow and Mr.
Olsen are popular young people of
this community. The bride-to-be
came to Juneau several years ago
with Mrs. Denny Merritt before the
latter’s marriage, from California
where they were schoolday friends.
She left for her California home
after a short stay here and returned
again last August since when she
has been a member of the office
staff of the Alaska Native Service.
Mr. Olsen was born and reared in
Petersburg and has resided here
some time. He was engaged in the
fishing business until recently when
he was inducted into the U. S.
Armed Forces. Home on furlough
for his wedding, Mr. Olsen plan:: to
leave Tuesday for Fort Richard
son where he is stationed with the
175th Signal Service Company of
the Armed Forces. His bride expects
to go to Anchorage in about two
: weeks and the couple will establish
a home in that city for the present.
MORE TO MISTLETOE
THAN YOU'D THINK
In America the high-hanging
mistletoe is treasured chiefly for its
power to invite a kiss from a pretty
girl. The bulk of the holiday dec
oration comes from the Carolines,
Tennessee and the southwest where
off-season agricultural workers
gather the branches for shipment
throughout the nation.
The white-berried plant also
serves as a winter food supply for
mockingbirds, robins, and wax
wings. These small birds are re
sponsible for the spread of the
tree-damaging parasite. After eat
ing the berries the birds clean
i their beaks on the trees, firmly
planting the mistletoe sewls they do
not eat. The tap root or the seed
ling pierces the tenderest portions
oj the tree—young branches or
buds—and the tree sap is drawn
into' the thick leaves and translu
cent berries of the guest plant.
Though the mistletoe plays the
dual characters of destructive kill
er and promoter of love, supersti
tion has it that the plant can
.switch roles in a twinkle. For in
stance, if the yuletide mistletoe
bough isn’t- removed from a house
by Candlemass Eve (February 1),
each leaf left will produce a goblin
to plague the careless occupants
during the year.
The Nugget Shop will be open
to accommodate late shoppers from
2 to 4 Sunday afternoon. 691-lt
