I'LOST ONE'CALLED
GREAT FILM FARE;
IS CAPITOL'S BILL
An entirely new motion picture
experience is waiting for film fans
it the Capitol Theatre. Columbia’s
"The Lost One” (La Traviata),
which opened there last night, has
skillfully combined Alexandre Du
mas’ great love story, “Lady of the
Camellias," with Giuseppe Verdi’s
immortal lyrical melodies.
The well-known romance takes
on a new radiancy as it is brought
to the screen with some of the most
maginificent music ever written.
While being sung in Italian, the ac
tion is tenderly unfolded in English.
Nelly Corradi is an ideal choice
for the lovely heroine. She brings
to her “Lady of the Camellias” an
almost ethereal beauty and a deli
cately -drawn characterization.
Tenor Gino Mattera, in his first
film role, also scores impressively.
Supporting the two leads and
other members of the large cast
are the orchestra and chorus of
the Rome Opera House, conducted
by Hector Panizza. The libretto was
written by F. M. Piave, and Carmine
Gallone directed.
Producer Gregor Rabinovitch de
serves a special accolade for the
great care and taste which have
gone into this excellent production.

UNEMPLOYMENT UP
OVER LAST YEAR
RECORDS SHOW
A comparison of records of the
Juneau Office of the Alaska Ter- j
ritorial Employment Service indi
cates more initial (or newi claims
taken during November of 1950 than
were taken during November 1949.!
One hundred fifty-five new un-'
employment insurance claims were
initiated during November of this j
year as compared to the 94 new
claims initiated during November
of 1949.
Severe weather conditions coming 1
earlier than usual curtailed and
suspended several construction pro- j
jccts, resulting in an earlier claims i
filing.
Employment activity in Juneau!
in November 1950 was less than in 1
November 1949 with 6 persons being j
placed on 0°bs through the facil
ities of the employment office in
November 1950 as compared to 75
in November 1949. Many of these
positions were clerical and admin
istrative positions requiring spec
ific training or experience, and the
balance consisted of casual labor
jobs.
Job openings now, available all
through Alaska Territoial Employ
ment Service include 70 staff nurse
openings and 100 civil engineer op
enings. These positions are for var
ious locations in Alaska and re
cruitment is also being conducted
in Stateside offices for these tech
nical and hard-to-fill classifies- j
tions.
ENGSTROM TO SEATTLE
Elton E. Engstrom has gone to ■
Seattle on his annual winter busi
ness trip in the interest of his

FROM PETERSBURG
Mr. and Mrs. Oslgom Adegard of j
Petersburg are guests at the Bara- j
nof Hotel. 1
BPR STAFF MEMBER
IS IMPRESSED ON
FIRST TRIP WEST
Assigned to the Juneau office of
the Bureau of Public Roads ac
counting division, Thomas Priest,
accompanied by Mrs. Priest and
their son, Paul, 11, arrived in Ju
neau on the Baranof.
The Priests come from Spring
field, 111, where Mr. Priest has been
associated with the BPR.
Their trip to Alaska was the first
any member had made west of the
Mississippi and they are all in a
state of seeing too much big and
grand country too fast, Priest said
today.
"We are impressed with the great
mountains and are trying to take
it all in, in small doses," Priest com
mented.
The winter weather, however, ;
they can take in their stride, he
said, for the temperature was two
degrees below zero when they left j
Illinois.
At the present the Priest family '
are the guests of Paul A. Doyle, i
also of the BPR accounting divi- ;
sion and long time friend and co- j
worker of Priest, while they are !
looking for a house or an apart
ment. with, they hope, quick sue- j
cess.

SHRINE CLUB WILL i
GIVE PUBLIC DANCE
IN JAN. AS BENEFIT
At the regular meeting of the
Juneau Shrine Club It was decided
to dispense with the dance for
Shriners and invited guests only,
tentatively scheduled during the
month of January and instead hold
a benefit dance, open to the pub
lic, in the Elks ballroom Jnauary
20. The proceeds are to be used
for the purchase of materials and
equipment for the enlargement and
repair of the Eagle River Scout
Camp Facilities. Reimbursement
to the Alaska Council of Boy Scouts
for the maintenance and repair
cost for the camp has been made
by the Shrine Club during the past
several seasons. However due to the
recent rapid increase in attendance
of Boy Scouts at camp, the present
iacilities have become completely
inadequate and plans are being
made by the Council for an expan
sion program.
John Maurstad, General Chair
man of Dance Committee for the
season, has announced that al
though the various committees have
not as yet been named, each and
eevry Shriner living on Gastineau
Channel will be called upon to do
his part to expedite a successful
affair.
To make the meeting even more
successful the Club voted to pur
chase a “Rung on the Ladder of
Baby Smiles.” A “Rung” being a.
unit of a permanent contribution
which is invested in Government
Bonds; the interest only being used
toward the maintenance and opera
tions costs of the Shriners Ortho
pedic Hospitals for Crippled Child
ren; sixteen of which are operated
throughout the United States, Can
ada and Mexico. These hospitals
are being operated for the treat
ment of children under the age of
14, regardless of race, creed or col
or; the only essential qualification
necessary for admission by a needy
child is the inability of the par
ents to finance the cost of treat
ment.
Election of officers resulted in
President-elect Gene Vuille wield
ing the gavel during the year 1951,
ably assisted by Vice-President Art
Mantyla, with Les Holmes again
being named Secretary.

DUAL BILL OPENS
TOMORROW NIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
—
The Bowery Boys get in and out j
of dangerous situations in hilarious ]
manner in their new comedy,
"Trouble Makers," which opens to
morrow at the Gross 20th Century
Theatre. The film, starring Leo
Gorcy with Huntz Hall in the top
featured role, is replete with sus- |
pense and humor, as murder and ,
ugly mobsters menace the lads.
Gorcy and Hall operate a side- j
walk telescope business when they j
see a man being murdered in a ‘
hotel room as they gaze through I
their optical instrument. Upon in- |
vestigation, however, no body is j
found in the room. Stymied, the I
boys help their policeman friend j
Gubriel Dell make a number of |
raids on gambling dens, even!
though the officer has been offered ]
a bribe by the gangsters.
Meanwhile, when Gorcy reads
about a professor being mysteriously !
killed, he suspects it is the man |
who was murdered in the hotel. He j
and Hall tell the professor’s daugh- ;
ter they will find the murderers,,
and they get Jobs as bellhops at |
the hotel to investigate further.!
Laughs come frequently when ex- I
convict Lionel Stander thinks Hall j
is an old prison mate. But as the i
boys pick up evidence, the gang gets i
wise, and a merry chase ensues.
The second attraction on the dual
bill at the 20th Century tomorrow,
“I Cheated the Law,” shows Steve
Brodie, as a gang chief, over-step
ping his bounds when he triple
crosses his lawyer, enacted' by Tom
Conway, into defending him on a
murder charge.
But the law, and t>ie lawyer,
catch up with the unprincipled
gangster with a vengeance.
