"SECRET GARDEN"
COMES SUNDAY TO
CAPITOL THEATRE
“The Secret Garden,” one of the
world's most beloved classics and a
story read by fifty million readers
since its publication forty years ago,
comes to the Capitol Theatre Sun
day with two of motion picture’s
youngest Academy Award winners
teamed in the leading roles.
They are Margaret O’Brien, who
won an Oscar for her work in “Lost
Angel," and Dean StockWell, who
won the award for his outstanding
performance in "Gentlemen’s Agree
ment.”
Others in top roles include Her
bert Marshall, Gladys Cooper, Elsa
Lanchester and Reginald Owen, to
gether with Hollywood's most un
usual newcomers—Captain, a cub
fox; Rascal, a squirrel; Nancy, a
tiny lamb, and Jimmy, the trick
raven.
Based on the novel by Frances
Hodgson Burnett its wistful, Vic
torian charm is heightened for en
tertainment purposes by elements of
mystery: the search for a lost love,
the suspense of the unknown; the
excitement of a forbidden friend
ship. Margaret O’Brien, in the most
dramatic part of her career, plays
Mary Lennox, a spoiled and unloved
child who finds happiness thruogh
the unfolding of a secret garden.
Dean Stock well is cast as Colin,
the boy who thinks he is going to
die and whose terror in a house of
mystery motivates the story’s ab
sorbing theme.
The sinister role of the hunch
back father is played by Herbert
Marshall, with Gladys Cooper as
the forbidding housekeeper, Elsa
Lancaster as the ribald English
country bumpkin, and Reginald
Owen as the close-mouthed gard
| ener to whom the mystery of the
| secret garden is entrusted.
PERMANENTE CO.
OPENS NEW ALASKA
PLANT, ANCHORAGE
A new industry for Alaska was
inaugurated today at Anchorage
when Permanente Cement Com
pany of Permanente, California,
opened a distributing plant in that
city. Governor Ernest Gruening
gave the opening and welcoming
speech.
Permanente’s distributing facil
ity at Anchorage was installed to I
serve Alaska's railbelt area and
provide cement for both commer
cial and military installations in
the Territory.
The plant has a bulk storage cap
acity of 30,000 barrels and in its
packhouse automatic 3-spout bag
packers can turn out 32 bags of
cement per minute—or 66,000 during
a 24-hour period. The plant has
an annual capacity of in excess of
300,000 barrels per year.
The new plant will make avail
able to Alaska builders the first
bulk cement in the Territory's his
tory and provide a marked saving
through cheaper transportation and
handling costs.
To serive its Anchorage plant,
Permanente will ship bulk cement
norm on us own steel Barges ana
ships. Besides its 17,000-barrel j
capacity barges, Permanente owns
its own Liberty ship, the 8. S. Per
manente Silverbow, a 10,000-ton
vessel converted into a 56,000 bar
rel bulk cement carrier. Added to
this, is a 45,000-barrel ship which
Permanente has under charter.
Permanente is the world’s largest
cement plant. It has distributing
centers throughout the Pacific
coast, Hawaii and now, Alaska.
Coming up for the opening of
the Anchorage plant by special
plane were the following: Sidj
Campbell, Alaska manager of the j
Foss Tug and Barge Co.; Nels Jo
hansen, vice president Pioneer
Sand and Gravel Co.; Gene Auvy,
president Valley Cement Co. of
Yakima; Jess Klenker, president of
Klenker Sand and Gravel Co., Se

noon, and enroute to Anchorage,
made a Fairbanks stop for Ma/or
Maurice Johnson and represent
atives of the Army’s District En

AT LONG LAST, ACS
RELENTS, REUNITES
SGT. AND MRS. MARSH
After being separated almost as
long as they had been together
during their marriage Sgt. and
Mrs. Gerald Marsh will sit down
together in their Juneau home for
the first time in eight months.
The trouble Is, the sergeant, who
has been stationed at Adak with
the Alaska Communications Sys
tem since last November might get

day—and then it might not be
until tomorrow.
However, his wife Jean, secretary
to Gov. Ernest Gruening thinks
she can stand the suspense par
ticularly after all this time. She’s
taken some time from her office
duties to get ready for the big
homecoming.
The couple had Wfen married
just a year when he was dispatches
to Adak. His replacement on the
lonely island will be sent from
I Seattle, ACS headquarters here
said.

LEAKING TANK RESULTS
IN MARINE WAY BLAZE
A two-five fire alarm was sounded
at 10:45 o’clock last night after a
gasoline fire blazed up on Marine
Way.
The alarm was turned in by O. C.
Peterson, who said he saw the gaso
line, which had leaked from a pass
ing car, blaze 15 feet high. He said
he did not know what ignited the
gasoline.
The car, driven by Erling Mar
tinsen, pulled off the road and the
flames did not follow the trail of
fuel from it. The blaze on Marine
Way was out by the time the fire
fighters arrived, but extinguisher
fluid was spread over the pool of
gasoline behind Martinsen’s auto
mobile to prevent another fire.

DEMILLE FEATURE
ON SCREEN TODAY
AT 2 OTH CENTURY
The Gross 20th Century Theatre
unfolds on Its screen tonight the
most ambitious of all the 67 big
Cecil B. DeMille productions, "‘Un
conquered," filmed in Technicolor!
Some of tbe highlights in the
malting of this tremendous produc
tion are:
To re-create the early Allegheny
days of its background, outdoor lo
i cation troups spent eight weeks in
forest areas near Pittsburgh, film
ing background scenery and action
episodes. Seven more location trips
i were made by second units, includ
j ing a jaunt to Idaho’s Snake River,
where a down the rapids Indian
chase was shot.
Six researchists consulted a total
of 2,500 volumes in carrying out
DeMille's policy of ‘"historical rea
sonableness.” On the basis of this
data, all costumes were designed
j and physical properties constructed.
Scores of archives, museums and
libraries in this country were
searched for authentic data.
“Unconquered” has 93 speaking
parts and required the services of
4,233 extras. The seige of Ft. Pitt,
climax of spectacular proportions,
| required 12 days of actual shooting,
A substantial section of the fort, as
it existed in 1763, was constructed
in the studio’s largest sound stage.
It took two months to build the
fort with drawbridge. DeMille also
used 150 Indians in this production.
"LAND OFFICE
BUSINESS" JUST
WHAHT SAYS
With the Bureau of Land Man
agement celebrating its fourth
birthday anniversary tomorrow, the
past year has seen 991 homesteads
being held by entreemen in Alaska,
it was announced today by Leonard
Berlin, Juneau administrator for
the office.
The bureau was formed in 1946
by joining the old General Land
Office, established in 1812, and the
Grazing Seirvice, formed in 1934.
During the fiscal year ending
June 30 the bureau made rectang
ular surveys of more than 47,830
acres of land in the Territory, Ber
lin said. Dependent surveys covered
2,220 acres and other special sur
veys included 248 small tracts, 441
townsite lots, 175 homesites, 15
homesteads for settlement claim
ants, one trade and manufacturing
site and two headquarters sites.
Of the 991 homesteads now under
process of being patented if they
are proved up, 726 are in the 1st
and 3rd Divisions, with 265 in the
2nd and 4th Divisions. They total
117,190 acres of land.
On top of this, 1,299,106 acres of
grazing land are under lease, Berlin
said.
Lots of business has been aceler
ated by the bureau in the past year,
because despite the more than 100
land investigations made each
month by field examiners, the bu
reau found itself with 1S6 more
cases on hand at the end of the
fiscal year than it had at the same
time last year.
Tfae agency’s forest division sold
more than 12 million board feet of
timber during the year, and an
other 214 million feet were given
away through free use permits.
Lowell M. Puckett is regional ad
ministrator, with offices in An
chorage.

Mrs. M. J. Haas, and Mrs. Josephine
