"BIG HANGOVER"
BIG COMEDY AS
CAPITOL'S BILL
Van Johnson is an honor student |
whose chances at making good with
a big law firm are impaired socially
by the fact that he once almost
drowned in a monastery cellar filled
with century-old brandy.
As a result, even one sniff of
spirits sends him into an alcoholic
spin. Elizabeth Taylor is the boss’
daughter who is determined to cure
Van of his curious malady. Mike is
a dog — who talks! Between the
three of them, they make MGM's
“The Big Hangover,’’ currently
showing at the Capitol Theatre, one
of the most original and uproarious
comedies to reach the screen in a
long, long time.
“The Big Hangover" is Norman
Krasna's triple-threat creation. He
wrote it, directed it and produced
it. And he has infused all three of
these arts with a brilliance, orig
inality and writ that make this
extraordinary story not only com
pletely believable but preposterous
ly funny, from the very opening
sequence in which Van is narrow
ly saved from disgracing himself
when he is forced to drink a toast
on his employer’s birthday, to the
drama’s climatic episode in which
the idealistic neophyte lawyer
(again influenced by alcohol) de
nounces his superiors as hypocrites
and resigns from an assured future
to fight for the right of the humble.
And Miss Taylor sticks to Van to
the end becau.se she is in no doubt
but what he will one day become
President of the United States!
MRS. BARRINGTON S
FATHER PASSES ON
AT WRANGELL WED.
_
Carl Isak Arola, a welllcnown •
Wrangell man, dic-a there last Wed
nesday morning at 11 o’clock. He
was born at Vihandi, Finland, on
March 16, 1883, and came to this
country as an infant when his fam
ily settled in Astoria, Ore.
He came to Alaska about 1912,
coming first to Juneau to work as

Until a few years ago deceased

ticularly with the Parent-Teachers
Association and with musical and
dramatic groups. He organized and
directed a dance band, children’s
band and Native band. A number
of Wrangell citizens learned music
from him as youngsters. He was
also a charter member of the Elks
lodge when it was organized in
1935, and prior to moving to Wran
gell was a member of the Juneau
Moose lodge.
He is survived by a daughter,
Mrs. William Barrington of Juneau,
three grandchildren, William Hill
III, Victoria and Edward Kaarlo,
and his wife. Josefina, all of Juneau.
Mrs. Barrington w’as in Wrangell

AUK BAY SPEED
limit requested
BY LEGION CLUB
A reduced speed limit accom
panied by strict enforcement of

that the Auk Bay population is
continually on the increase with
children forming a large portion
of the residents.

summer months, many autos speed
through the district at excessive
rates, endangering the lives of the
small children living along the high
way and that only luck has pre
vented a serious accident up to
this time The memorial asks for
a 25 mile per hour speed limit
throughout the entire Auk Bay
PuLlic Utility District and a 15 mile
per hour limit near roadside at
tractions, including the Auk Bay
stores. It also asks the Highway
Patrol to erect proper warning signs

the next meeting rc» a discussion.

MOVIE "SUNSET
BOULEVARD" IS
AT 20TH CENTURY
"Sunset Boulevard" is nt the 20th
Century Theatre for the last show
ings tonight. The stars are William
Holden, Gloria Swanson and Erich
vonu Stroheim.
A behind-the-scenes look at Hol
lywood, "Sunset Boulevard” is the
gripping story of a once-famous
silent movie queen who lives in her
glorious past and dreams of a tri
umphant return to the screen. Try
ing desperately to recapture her lost
youth, she has an affair with a
young screen writer that leads in
exorably to tragedy for them both
and for those close to them.
As the faded star, Gloria Swan
son turns in a stunning portrayal
and to say that she is mr.gn'ficen
is an understatement. And eiu t.
laurels go to William Holden '
his inspired performance in the »' ■
ficult role of the writer.
Erich von Stroheim is ov.t >:ul
ing as Miss Swanson's devoted “r
vant, while Nancy Olson sc re
brilliantly as a studio story an y
who falls in love with Ho'de.i.
