ALASKA LIKE HOME,
SAYS MONTANAN
Of all the professional photog
raphers now and recently in JS
ncau, Ross Madden probably feels
the closest kinship with Alaskans.
“It’s my first trip,” he said, “but
I felt at home instantly. Probably
it’s the general attitude—you see,
I came from Montana, about 125
miles from Livingston. It’s more
than Alaskans just naturally being
home folks—so' many places look
the same. The first three places I
went would look right at home
there. Mike’s is a dead-ringer for
one of my favorite Montana spots."
Madden, a free-lance cameraman
now ba«d in Los Angeles, is in
Juneau for two or three weeks on
assignments for The Ladies’ Home
Journal and Mademoiselle Mag
azine. He wants to do general pic
tures hereabouts, and is firing sug
gestions to Black Star, his New
York agent. While in the Ter
ritory on these assignments, he
wants to get new ideas. Madden
came here by boat, to get a rest
after a strenuous job for Life Mag
azine, ranging through the western
states.
Candid photography is his stock
in trade, through an individualistic
approach—he likes to take pictures
that record situations. Asked how
he learned to take pictures, Mad
den replied, “Behind a camera—
but you never finish learning."
The August issue of Coronet car
ries 16 Madden photographs in the
picture story, “California: Dream
[ land West.” A recent picture series
I was “This* Thing Called Love."
! featuring movie starlets. The May
cover of The Ladies’ Home Journal,
in the “Undiscovered American
i Beauties” series was his—a picture
of a little telephone operator.
Madden does a great deal of
work for Life Magazine. One Life
[spread which attracted unusual at
| tention was his documentary treat
ment of the Spencer Tracy Clinic
for hard-of-hearing children.
Among noted photographers in
the vicinity are John Roberts, Low
ell Thomas' cameraman, who ts
with the explorer-commentator oh
the Juneau Ice Cap, and Amos
Burg, director-photographer for En
cyclopedia Britannica films for the
University of Chicago, who will
continue his Alaska jaunt aboard
the North Star.
Recently here were photographers
representing Life, Look and the
Saturday Evening Post.

HUSTON'S DRAMA
FEATURE NOW AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
_ .
John Huston's "We Were Strang
ers,” powerful Columbia drama of
violence and intrigue set In the
locale of the seething city of Ha
vana, is at the Capitol Theatre for
the last times tonight.
The impressive cast is headed by
Jennifer Jones, John Garfield and
Pedro Armendariz, with Gilbert Ro
land, Ramon Novarro,-Wally Cassell
and David Bond lending support to
the stars.
Presented with magnificent force,
the story, a skillful blend for ad
venture and romance, is based on
the novel "Rough Sketch" by Robert
Sylvester. Under the direction of
1948 Academy Awards winner John
Huston, the film is said to present
shocking facts and contain terrify
ing drama!
Garfield is being widely acclaimed
for his biting portrait of a Cuban
raised in the U.S. who returns to
Havana to participate in a vast con
spiracy; Miss Jones portrays a lovely
young girl sucked into the plot by
events beyond her control, while
Armendariz plays a brutal official of
the secret police.
COAST LEAGUE TO
SEE CHANGES IN
PLAYER LINEUPS
(By the Associated Press)
The Pacific Coast League cam
paign enters its 20th week tonight,
with some noteworthy alterations in
the status of five players.
Heading the list is outfielder
Johnny Berardlno, on option to
Sacramento from Cleveland. The
Solons gave him back, to the In
dians yesterday, mainly because
they couldn’t support him in the
style to which he’s been accustomed.
Berardlno reportedly was being
paid in the neighborhood of $20,000,
and that’s a mighty ritzy neighbor
hood for a last place club. Anyway,
the gentleman was only hitting .228.
Next comes the sudden recupera
tion of pitcher Pinky Woods, given
up for lost two weeks ago by Holly
wood. Manager Fred Haney Joyously
announced that Woods has re
covered from his thigh injury sooner
than anticipated. So much so, in
fact, that Woods will pitch tonight’s
home series opener against Port
land.
The Hollywoods also will trot out
two new heavy-hitting-they-hope
outfielders this week—Johnny Lin
dell and George Schmees. Lindell
will be making his first appearance
in the home park; Schmees is ex
pected in from Montreal today.
Portland has some recent addi
tions of its own, however, namely
Fenton Mole and Leo Thomas. The
Beavers possess the league's No. 1
home run boy, too, Joe Brovia.
There also are murmurings from
PCL headquarters to the effect that
the prevailing 200-game schedule
will be trimmed somewhat next year.
It conflicts with the football season.
Otherwise, the situation is pretty
much ho-hum, what with Oakland
holding a 9'i game lead and all.
The Oaks entertain Seattle tonight
in a series opener at Emeryville.
YOUNG ESKIMO SERGEANT
ON FIRST TRIP TO JUNEAU
William Anaruk of Bethel knows
Anchorage and Fairbanks well, be
sides scores of places to the north
and west, and he has been outside,
too. But he came to Juneau for
the first time last week, and thor
oughly enjoyed a six-day stay in
the capital, stopping at the Bar
anof Hotel.
*Now the handsome young Eskimo
is a sergeant in the Alaska National
Guard and in charge of all the
Guard equipment at this key point
near the mouth of the Kuskokwim
River.
He joined when the Second Scout
Battalion was formed there about
a year ago, and has worked up
the ranks from private.
Sergeant Anaruk came here to
confer with National Guard offic
ials and see at first-hand the oper
ations of Headquarters and Head
quarters Service Company. With
Col. J. D. Alexander, Acting A.N.G.
Adjutant, he was a passenger to
Anchorage yesterday aboard the
B-17 of Maj. Gen. Frank A. Arm
strong, Jr., commanding general,
Alaskan Air Command.
Bill Anaruk is well-known in and
near Fairbanks, where he has raced
his team of nine dogs. (Bill and
his dogs are pictured on Page 201
of the 1950 Alaska Almanac.)
Although Bill, who was born in
Selawik on the Arctic Circle, has
lived in Unalakleet, Little Diomede
Island, Kotzebue and Candle, he
is having to study the Eskimo lan
guage. His parents were teachers
in those places for some 38 years.
Since his father’s death a year ago,
he and his mother have made their
home in Bethel, where she is an
interpreter in the hospital.
What does Anaruk remember of
the five years he spent on Little
Diomede as a youngster? “Rocks,"
he say. “Rocks and these scratches
I still have on my knees."
Mrs. Joe Skaris of Sitka is at the
Baranof Hotel.

Fay, daughter of Mr. Fred Wall of
Spokane, and Mr. Donald Edgar
Cramer, s«i of Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
Cramer of Seattle, were united in
marriage by the Rev. G. Herbert
Hillerman.
The soft light of candles was the
only illumination as the vows we*e
spoken at 2 p.m.. and baskets <?f
.lowers decorated the altar.
The bride was lovely in a suit
of brown and beige, with green
accessories and wore a corsage of
gardenias. Her maid of honor,
Miss Harriet Penwell. wore a sCT„
of chartreuse with navy accessories
and her corsage was of roses. The
groom was attended by Ross Mad
den, international photographer
who is here on assignment tor the
Ladies’ Home Journal.
The bride arrived here last week
from Seattle and the groom has
been in Juneau since last May.
He served in World War II with
the Navy in the South Pacific and

mercial Company here.
Following the wedding Saturday,
a trip by cabin cruiser was enjoyed
up Lynn Canal. Upon return,
members of the wedding party had
dinner at the Baranof Hotel. At
present Mr. and Mrs. Cramer are
at the Juneau Hotel but their fu
ture home will be established here.

ANOTHER LICKING
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 — 1*1 —
Lightweight champion Ike Williaihs
took another licking last night—
this time at the gloves of a prac
tically unknown welterweight from
Phoenix, Ariz.
Charley Salas, 22-year-old Mex
ican-Italian, gained an easy 10
round decision over Williams—win
ning seven and dropping two. The
other round was even. Williams
weighed in at 13914 pounds; Salas
at 146.
Williams’ loss to Salas, coming
only a month after a similar de
feat by welterweight Georgie (Su
gar) Costner, made a rematch be
tween Costner and Williams, pro
posed for next month at Madison
Square Garden, somewhat doubtful.

RED SKELTON IN
COMEDY TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
In "Merton o( the Movies,"
which opens tonight at the Gross
20th Century Theatre. Red Skelton
has a role tailor-made to his talents
as the screen’s top comedy star.
His role as Merton Gill, the stage
struck movie usher who leaves the
security and friendliness of Tinker
ton, Kansas, to brave the perils of
the Hollywood of silent-film days
gives him unlimited opportunity to
show his bag of tricks, and he makes
the most of it.
Merton goes to Hollywood self
confident, full of illusions and de
termined to be another John Barry
more at the very least. Totally un
conscious that he is a "ham" of the
first water, he has a profound con
tempt for the comedians of the
celluloid and considers his career
purely in terms of art with a capi
tal “A.”
Befriended by Phyllis Montague,
a thoroughbred trouper, he finds
the going rough until he gets his
break in an epic called "Souls on
Fire." When finally edited the pic
ture emerges as a slapstick burlesque
retitled "Soles on Fire.” Despite the
fact that he is now an over-night
comedy star, Merton, heart-sick and
disillusioned, is about to renounce
I his film career until he Is shown
| that the world needs its laughter
fully as much as its art.
