NOTICE
TO RESIDENTS OF DOUGLAS
The Juneau & Douglas Telephone Co. has begun to
make the cut-over to the new dial system in Douglas.
Subscribers who will be away from home any day
this week please make arrangements with the Douglas
operator for the installers to have access to their
houses to change telephones.
Instructions
Please limit your calls to 5 minutes and do not
make unnecessary calls until the cut-over is completed,
as this will slow up the installation of the new tele
phones.
To make a call, remove handset and listen for dial
tone, a continuous buzz. If busy tone (interrupted
buzz) or conversation is heard, hang up and try again
later.
To dial, place your finger in the hole over the first
digit of the number, pull dial to right until the stop
is reached, remove finger and allow dial to return by
itself. Repeat this operation with the remaining
digits in the number. Do not force the dial to return
to normal,^ allow it to rotate back under its own
power. If the called line is busy, busy tone will be
heard. Hang up and try again later.
When making more than one call hang up the hand
set between calls to release the equipment.
To call a subscriber on the same party line, use the
directory number. If the first three digits in his
number are the same as the first three in your num
ber he is on the same line. Dial his number as above,
hang up until his telephone has had time to ring, then
remove your handset to carry on the conversation.
To reach Juneau operator, dial “0”. Juneau sub
scribers calling Douglas, please use prefix Douglas
and then give proper number. ,

SHIRLEY TEMPLE
STARRED IN BILL,
CAPITOLTHEATRE
When F. Hugh Herbert sat down
in his study one evening and dashed
out a short story for Good House
keeping Magazine called “A Family
Affair," he hadn’t the slightest idea
that irf Corliss Archer, his central
' haracter, he had fashioned a bobby
;oxer who was to be the epitome
>f all teen-agers throughout th(
United States. But the character
became so popular Herbert decided
to write a play woven around her
That is how "Kiss and Tell,” a
Broadway hit for two seasons, came
i to be born. Lovely Joan Caulfield
made a sensation in the role of Cor
liss and got her Hollywood contrac.
on the strength of it.
When the play wa., made into c
Hollywood movie, Shirley Temple
was given the role and also mad:: a
dir in film circles as the irrepre »
ible adolescent whose daily esca
pades had the whole country laugh -
ng.
Currently, at th" Capitol Theare
Sunday, Shirley can again be seen
on the screen as Corliss Archer, in
a new film "A Kiss for Corliss."
Heart-breaker David Niven co-star
with Shirley in this delightful come
ly, with Darryl Hickman as her de
voted boy friend, cute little Vir
ginia Welles as her "companion in
crime” and Gloria Ilolden and Tom
Tuliy as her doting parents.

I NOT STRATOCRUISERS,
J MARTIN 202’S GROUNDED
BV N'W AIRLINES
Earlier this week the Empire
headlined a story about Northwest
Airlines grounding its fleet of
Martin 202 planes and in the head
line called the planes “Strato
cruisers.”
It was the Empire’s error and one
that our air-minded readers have
called to our attention.
To Northwest whose Stratocruis
ers are still flying and to the Boeing
Company which makes Stratocruis
ers, we apologize.
The grounded planes were Martin
202s.
USE TELEPHONE
TOR FIRE ALARM

ment headquarters at the subport.

ed by the “breaking the ice” talks

WANTING FRIEND
SOME PLACE, TERR.
A girl from Brooklyn, in a letter
to the Alaska Native Service per
sonnel division, has signified her
desire to know someone in Alaska
before she arrives within the next
few months.
Here is her letter:
"I have written this letter to you
because I don’t know anyone else
to write to that could help me.
“I am coming to Alaska sometime
in the next few months. I expect
to stay there at least two years
and I don’t know anyone there.
Wouldn’t you be kind enough to
give my name and address to some
one that would be kind enough to
correspond to me, so that when I
come there I would at least know
one person?
I know that my request is
highly irregular, and you are busy
and probably won’t help me, but
I have faith that you are kind
and unselfish, and would at least
attempt to help me.
“Here is my description: I am
single, 22 years old, and considered
quite attractive. I am five feet six
and have jet black hair and have
reddish-brown skin. I am of West
Indian descent. I am a graduate
of four schools.”
The name of the letter writer is
Beulah Dixon who gives her ad
dress as: 338a Monroe Street,
Brooklyn, 16, New York.

THRILLER COMES !
TO SCREEN SUNDAY!
AT 20TH CENTURY
The strange and terrifying story
of a man with the power to fore ec
tragedy and how this gift—or cur.-e
—eventually dethoys him is told in
Paramount’s mystery drama, '‘Night!
Has a Thousand Eyes,” which ar- J
rives Sunday at the 20th Century
Theatre with co-stars Edward G.
Robinson, Gail Russell and John
Lund.
Robinson will be seen as the key
performer in a mental wizardry
vaudeville act in which he is sup
ported by Virginia Bruce and Jer
ome Cowan. He and Miss Bruce are
about to be married when he dis
covers, intruding into the hocus
pocus of his act, occasional flashes
of prescience, which prove to be ac
curate.
His occult powers set Cowan on
the road to a fortune, but yvhen
they reveal a tragic end for Miss
Bruce, he disappears, hoping, by
so doing, save her. It isn't until 20
years later that he comes out of his
retirement to try to forestall the
death of Cowan in a plane crash,
which he sees, and the subsequent
murder of his, and Miss Bruce’.;
daughter, Gail Russell.
According to all reports, thrills |
and excitement pile high upon each
other before the surprise ending.
John Farrow directed the thriller
which also features William De
marest.
