GABLE STARS AS
. GAMBLER IN FILM
CAPITOL THEATRE
Clark Gable was cast In a familiar
role when he began his gambling
scenes in M-G-M’s "Any Number
Can Play," now showing at the
Capitol Theatre. Several of the
star's biggest hits on the screen
have been in gambler characteriza
tions, including his first major suc
cess in “A Free Soul,” opposite
Norma Shearer.
Since then, he has appeared as
a gambling man in "San Francisco,”
"Gone With The Wind" and "Honky
Tonk."
Yet, in real life Gable steers clear
of games of chance. He used to
play poker occasionally until he
was drawn into a game overseas
with several of his wartime buddies.
They could ill afford to lose and
Gable’s luck apparently couldn't
help but win. "I even drew three
cards to a flush once and hit it,”
he said. He was so embarrassed by
that'turn of the game that he swore
off it for life.
In "Any Number Can Play” the
star has a new leading lady in the
person of Alexis Smith, cast as his
devoted wife. The impressive sup
porting cast features Wendell Corey,
Audrey Totter, Frank Morgan, Mary
Astor and Lewis Stone.
BOY SCOUTS AT
JAMBOREE HAVE
GLORIOUS TIME
Alaska’s contingent of 37 boys
and five men arrived early on the
morning of June 27 at Valley Forge,
Pa., for their three-day pre-Jam
boree training camp, according (o
a report received from scout ex
ecutive Maurice Powers, in charge
of the group. The group left Al
aska June 12, sailing from Seward
on the steamship Alaska and pick
ing up members as the vessel sailed
south. After a one-day stay at the
Y.M.C.A. in Seattle, they went to
St. Paul where they joined the
350 Seattle scouts with whom they
travelled, in a swim at Lake
Phelan. Proceeding on to Chicago
they were the guests of Marshall
Field Company for a special sight
seeing tour, big league ball game,
and luncheon.
From Chicago the group went to
Washington, D. C., where they were
met by Council President George
Parks and Alaska’s Delegate Bob
Bartlett. Six hours of sightseeing
at the nation's capital included a
visit to Mt. Vernon and a tour
of the important shrines and build
ings.
Neckerchief Swapping
Formal opening of the Jamboree
was June 30th, when the entire
assemblage of 45,000 boys and men
participated in a huge celebration.
Alaska’s delegation comprises one
troop of Section 30. each section
having over 1,000 scouts. Alaska's
boys have two genuine totem poles
with them, which they are using
in the troop archway entrance.
Boys from the Territory have al
ready been besieged by thousands
of state-side scouts to “swap" their
attractive gold neckerchiefs which
were especially stencilled with a
totem pole and the name “Alaska."
Thousands of boys from every
section of the country are getting
their first impression of Alaska
and its opportunities from the
Territory’s delegation of 42 boys
and men. Powers reports that the
group is in good health and ex
cellent spirits, despite some dis
comfort in getting acclimated to
the unusual heat.
Boys Well Disciplined
I “The Alaska troop is well dis
ciplined and well trained and is
bringing credit to their commun
ities as they move about the nation
on this Jamboree trip,” Powers
said, as he reported many com
pliments on the group’s appearance
and performance.
Scouts will leave the Jamboree
on July 7, proceeding to New York
City for a two-day stay, thence
to Rochester, Niagara Falls, De
troit, Denver and Salt Lake City.
They will return from Seattle July
15, ending their five or six weeks
tour, depending on which section
of Alaska is their home.
Troop* Assignments
Leading the group from Alaska
are Rev. Victor Alfsen of Palmer,
Thomas Cashen of Douglas, Ed
ward Browne of Fairbanks and
Chester Zenger of Juneau. Scout
Donald MacKinnon is senior pat

FARL CRASS & SON
.dllHiiiililitutitt.
Arron Simonson, 10, couldn't go
to school last year because he
couldn't climb stairs. He had heart
trouble.
Yesterday Arron arrived home
from San Francisco, where he had
undergone the type of operation
used to save the lives of "blue
babies.”
The heart specialist at the Uni
versity of California hospital stated
in a letter to Dr. Virginia Cobb, di
rector of the Chronic Disease Unit
of the Alaska Department of Health,
that "Arron is very much improved
ind can now carry on all the nor
mal activities of his age—including
riding a bicycle.”
Intensive studies of Arron’s heart
were made at the University of
California hospital by cardiac spec
ialists who donated their services in
the case because of their interest in
the Alaska Health Department's
Chronic Disease unit program, Dr.
Cobb said.
[ The operation was performed
j May 20. Following hospitalisation
| Arron was moved to a convalescent
home where he was under observa
tion before returning home.
Health Department officials said
the chronic disease units in which
10-year-old Arron was one of the
I first patients, was established in
November. Two small wards at St.
Ann’s hospital were made available
I for the clinic where 25 young pa
; tients have received examinations
and treatment to date, Dr. Cobb
said.
Arron's parents are Mr. and Mrs.
David Simonson of Juneau.
of July celebration In Douglas, was
a call for the Douglas volunteer
fire department, when a stove and
chimney burned out at the Ed
Bergeron home on St. Anne’s
Avenue. The overheated stove was
quickly put under control and no
damage was caused.
CO NO. 1 WINS HOSE RACE
Company No. 1 of the Douglas
Volunteer Fire Department won
the hose race on July Fourth
over Company No. 3. This year
the races were run with the trucks
letting out hose, instead of man
ually, as In former years. Mark
Jensen was captain of Co. No. 1
and Bill Dore, captain of No. 2
company.
SOFT BALL
The Juneau Volunteer Fire De
partment and the Douglas Volun
teer Fire Department tangled over
the Fourth in a soft ball game
played on the Douglas diamond.
With plenty of changes in per
sonnel and a number of "Charlie
horses,” and other strains and
bruises, the game was played with
plenty of enthusiasm and thrills
for spectators. The final score
ended after seven innings, 11 to 19
with Douglas firemen holding the
lead.
CHOIR PRACTICE
The Junior Choir of the Doug
las Community Methodist Church
will sing on Tuesday evening at
the meeting of the Methodist Con
ference. This service will be at
8 o'clock at the Juneau Methodist
Church. All members of the choir
are asked to be at choir practice
Sunday morning at 9:30 o'clock.

"BUTCH" JENKINS
TALKS TO HORSES
AT 20TH CENTURY
If you are going to bet on norsss,
It’s a good idea to take along to
the race track a boy w^o can talk
to 'em. That's exactly what “Butch"
Jenkins does in the new comedy
drama, "My Brother Talks to
Horses," at the Oross 20th Century
Theatre.
Once you accustom to the divert
ing premise that a boy can be so
pure in heart and innocence that
he can commune with animals, you
will have a field day of laughs in
this lighthearted tale of little Lewie,
who is on intimate terms not only
with horses but with every dog in
the neighborhood; of his equally
eccentric mother who goes in for
Yogi breathing exercises; of his
brother, John, who is caught up
in the complexities of a dull bank
Job that he hates and the attrac
tive school teacher, Martha, whom
he cannot afford to marry.
It looks as though the family will
fall heir to the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow when Lewie's
remarkable faculty for determining
race track winners surrounds them
with a group of flattering specula
tors but at a crucial moment a horse
whom the youngster loves is injured
in a race and has to be killed. The
shock robs Lewie of his uncanny
gift and plunges John into a debt
that seemingly puts off forever his
marriage to Martha. This predica
ment is finally resolved at a spec
tacular Preakness race.
MORMON CHURCH TO
BE DEDICATED HERE
DURING THIS MONTH
Elder Joel Richards, President of
the Northwestern States Mission,
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints, will be in Juneau July
21 through July 24 to officiate at
the dedication of the Mormon
Chapel at 10th and E Streets.
The Northwestern States Mission
is comprised of Alaska, Washington,
Oregon and parts of Idaho and
Montana.
The Juneau branch chapel is the
first such structure to be dedicated
in Alaska. The general public and
friends are cordially invited to at
tend the two general sessions of the
conference which are escheduled
for 10 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Sunday
July 23.
Mrs. Young
Honor Guest
At Luncheon
Mrs. Henry Sully and Mrs. Car
son Lawrence were co-hostesses
Wednesday noon at a luncheon at

Young of Glendale, Calif., who,
with Mr. Young and their two
children Allen and Carolyn, have
been Juneau visitors the past week.
They are house guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Lawrence.
The Youngs, former residents of
Juneau, have been having a won
derful time renewing friendships
made during their many years
residence here when Mr. Young
was in the accounting business.
Above all, they have enjoyed the
weather and the many sunny days
spent at the Sully's and other
friends' cabins on the highway.
Pishing has occupied much of their
time.
Thirty-two guests attended yes
terday’s luncheon and the after
noon was spent in talking over old
times.
The Youngs are leaving tomorrow
on the Princess Louise for Van
couver where they will pick up
their car and drive home.
