THRILL FEATURE
THIS WEEKEND AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
For a weekend thrill feature, the
Capitol Theatre is presenting
“Comanche Territory” starting to
night and final showing tomorrow
night. All the fury of the great
Indian wars are revealed in this
technicolor production. Here is in
brief the story:
Traveling west in 1830 at the re
quest of President Andrew Jackson,
Jim Bowie (MacDonald Carey)
finds a gang of western outlaws
planning to rob the Comanches of
their lands in a rush for silver.
Introducing his famous Bowie knife
to the Indians, Bowie becomes
their friend. When the outlaws, led
by Stacey (Charles Drake i and
aided by his sister, Katie (Maur
een CTHara), attack, Bowie and
his Indian scout buddy, Seeger
(Will Geer), aid the Comanches in
the battle.
Katie, in a last-minute switch
of devotion, sides in with the out
numbered Indians and is instru
mental in putting the outlaws to
rout. When Bowie leaves the scene
oi the action he tells Katie she
can reach him in care of Sam
Houston at the Alamo in Texas.
CAPT. GLASSCOCK'S
ASHES ON DENALI TO
BE CAST ON WATER
In accordance with the wishes of
Capt. Charles A. Glasscock, veteran
master of Alaska ships, who died
in Seattle on February 18 at the
age of 78, his ashes are aboard the
Alaska Steamship Company's Den
ali to be scattered on the waters
off Cape St. Elias.
Capt. Carl Nilson of the steam
ship Denali will perform the rites.
Captain Glasscock, ' who retired
in 1946, was one of the best-known
masters of ships serving Alaska.
One of his prized possessions was
a gold medal given him by the
citizens of Petersburg for taking
the first steamship into Petersburg.
He wore the medal as a watch
chSrm.
Captain Glasscock joined the
Alaska Steamship Co. in 1923, af
ter 12 years with the Admiral Line.
Among ships which he commanded
were the Northwestern, Yukon, Al
ameda, Victoria and Columbia.
FISH SITUATION
DECIDEDLY GLUM
SAYS ENGSTROM
Elton Engstrom, local fish buyer,
returned yesterday via Pan Amer
ican plane after several days in
Seattle on fish matters.
.Engstrom said that the fish sit
uation there is very gloomy. Hal
ibut prices are so high that it is
not moving-and wholesalers have a
back log of three or four million
pounds on hand. This is a direct
reversal of last year.
Frozen silvers, he said, are at
[a stand-still and are being canned
rather than being put on the fresh
frozen market. There is next to no
demand for them. He said the
Army is taking some sliced halibut
but not enough to relieve the situ
ation.
VI simply do not know the an
swer to it,” Engstrom said. “Fish
buyers in Alaska paid 24 and 25
cents a pound for halibut last year
and in Seattle they are selling at
the same price, as wholesalers
must unload them to make way
for the coming season’s catch. This,
of course, entails a considerable
loss.”
Asked if the present situation
would have any bearing on this
year’s prices paid to the fishermen,
Engstrom replied that it undoubt
edly would. With such a lay-over
supply from last year, halibut will
not meet with so great a demand,
he concluded.
NEW EMPLOYEE
Mrs. Thelma Zenger is a new
employee in the office of Terri
torial Highway Engineer Frank A.
Metcalf.
She replaces clerk-accountant
Mrs. Harriett Tucker who has re
tired from Territorial service.
Great Bear Lake and Great Slave
Lake in Canada are each about half
as large as Lake Michigan.

"BAMBi" TONIGHT
FOR LAST TIMES,
AT 20TH CENTURY
Walt Disney’s feature production
“Bambi,” in color by Technicolor,
welcomed back to the screen at
the 20th Century Theatre, reveals
the exciting peak which this orig
inal and fascinating form of screen
entertainment has reached. "Bam
bi” is pure Disney, which means
much to lovers of the world of fun,
beauty, imagination and adventure.
“Bambi” was filmed—or drawn—
from the best-selling novel of the
same title by Felix 3alten, the life
story of a deer.
The story of “Bambi,” with the
deer as its hero, is filled with the
human emotions of love, hate,
jealousy, gaiety, fear, happiness,
courtship and parenthood. It is the
most adult and spectacular story
Disney has yet chosen.
Bambi's triends include some oi
the most ingratiating characters
ever created — principally Thum
per, a rabbit who steals many
scenes of the picture. An inspired
name for another character, an ir
resistibly charming skunk, is
Flower. Faline is the doe Bambi
loves and has to fight for to win.
Other wild animals of the great
forest are characters of varying
importance.
A great forest fire provides a
sensational climax in the produc
tion, which, with its engrossing
action and musical features is a
distinguished example of high en
tertainment.
