THREE GOBS AND
THEIR GALS STAR
IN CAPITOL SHOVf
Three gobs and their gals on a
twenty-four hour leave in the Big
City, set to songs, dancing and
laughter—that the entertainment
spree offered in M-G-M's new Tech
nicolor musical jamboree, "On the
Town,” headline attraction at the
Capitol Theatre tonight and Tues
day.
Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and
Jules Munshin arc the sailors; Betty
Garrett. Ann Miller and Vera-EUen
are the cuties who lead them on a
scintillating sightseeing tour of New
York in this all-star filmization of
one of Broadway's biggest stage hits.
The plot thread hangs on Kelly’s
search for Vera-EUen, whose picture
as "Miss Turnstiles of the Month,”
he has seen on a subway card and
whom he meets briefly and falls in
love with at first sight. But he loses
her again and lines up his pals,
Sinatra, Munshin, the hardboiled
but romantic lady taxi-driver Betty
Garrett, and the glamorous anthro
pologist Ann Miller, to scour the
town and find her. Before they are
through they have demolished the
skeleton of a prehistoric dinosaur
at the Museum of Natural History,
gotten into a jam at the top of the
Empire State Building, covered such
spots as Grant’s Tomb, an assort
ment of night clubs and the Brook
lyn Navy Yard, and end up in a
wild police chase at Coney Island.
It’s one grand romp, punctuated
with some of the tunefulest tunes
you’ve ever heard (some from the
original score and some brand new)
and some wonderful dance routines
in which Kelly and Vera-Ellen go
to town. Standouts are the “Miss
Turnstiles' llet” and the “Day in
New York ‘t,” while the songs
you will be wnistling and dancing
to yourself include "New York, New
York,” "Prehistoric Man,” “Come
Up to My Place," "Main Street,”
“You’re Awful,” "Count on Me” and
On the Town.”

LONG TAIL AND
¥MM MYSTERY
IS FINALLY SOLVED!
I
Last summer the Alaska Territor.
ial Museum acquired an interesting
relic from Yakutat. It was the
antique headdress of a long defunct
Tlinget shaman or medicine man
in the form of an owl’s head. But
this was an owl that whs different.
It had green eyes with huge red
circles around them. Its ears were
leathery and it had a hairy mane.
And thereby hangs a tail.
But what kind of a tail? That
was the $64 question. The In
dians didn’t know, the Curator
wouldn’t guess, and the experts
upstairs didn’t care to take a
chance. So at the suggestion oi
W. A. "Bud” Elkins, Wildlife Man
agement Supervisor, a sample of.
the hair to which a piece of moth
eaten hide was attached was sent
to Denver. Into the Wildlife Re
search Laboratory went the mys-.
terious hirsute adornment. Two
months of deep deliberation passed.
Then came the verdict.
From a letter received by Elkins
from the Denver Laboratory yes
terday we quote: . . . “now, after
thorough comparison of the Tling
it headdress hair with all likely
material including grizzly bear,
moose, musk-ox, horse and cow,
we conclude that the hair in ques
tion is from the tail of a cow" . . .
ANN NELSON HONORED
GUEST BIRTHDAY PARTY
—
Miss Ann Nelson was the honored
nest at a dinner and skating party
given by her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Urban Nelson Friday evening In
observance of her twelfth birthday,
November 23.
The dinner party was at the Nel
son residence on Behrends Avenue
and was followed by a skating party
at Auk Lake. New fallen snow on
the lake and the surrounding
countryside gave a beautiful back
ground for the big bon fire around
which the party centered. Snow did
not hamper the spirits of the party
for the many skaters at the lake
had swept a wide circle clear and
the ice was in fine shape.
Guests invited for the birthday
party were Ann Furness, Joan
Featherstone, Rose Lee Jekill and
Nancy Leege.
