LAUGH SHOW IS
COMING SUNDAY,
CAPITOL THEATRE
It’s a Battle of the Sexes, with
love, laughs and the U. S. Navy
caught in a melee of fun when MGM
■-hows how “The Skipper Surprised
His Wife" in the hilarious romantic
comedy starring Robert Walker
and Joan Leslie and opening Sun
day at the Capitol Theatre in a
three-hour show. ,
Not since his memorable “Pvt
Hargrove" has Walker had a role
so tailored to his talents as that of
his current “Commander Bill Lat
timer,” in which he steps first intc
a Naval officer’s uniform, then into
a kitchen apron to prove that a
home can be run just as efficiently
as a ship.
And what a mate he has in Miss
Leslie. Versatile star of such picture?
us “Sergeant York,” “Yankee Doodle
Dandy" and “Bed of Roses,” she
now has an all-out comedy role
as the young wife driven to desper
ate measures to prove that woman’s
place is in the home — unhamper
ed by a husband's advice!
A sterling supporting cast fea
tures Edward Arnold, Spring By
ngton, Leon Ames and Jan Sterling.
Arnold plays an Admiral who rules
the waves but not his wife. Miss
Byington, as the latter, is the typi
cal “little woman” who can trim
any man’s sails. Leon Ames is the
doctor who teaches Walker the
facts of home life. Jan Sterling,
MGM newcomer, plays the too-at
tractive next-door neighbor.

LARGE AUDIENCE
ENJOYS CONCERT,
JUNEAU ARTISTS
A delightful concert in a varied i
program of solos and duets sung
by Frnaccs E. Paul, soprano and
Lois H. Reedy, contralto, popular
Juneau artists was heard last eve
ning by a throng of music lovers
who filled the Northern Light Pres
byterian Church to standing room.
The artists were presented in con
cert by the Music Committee of the
Church.
The program was presented in
four groups, the artists singing to
gether in the first and fourth,
groups, the second presented in
solo by Mrs. Reedy and the third in
solo by Miss Paul.
Particularly appreciated were the
duets the "Flower Scene” from
Madarife Butterfly, by Puccini.
Rubcnstein’s "Romance” and “The
Gypsies,” Brahms-Viardet.
Mrs. Reedy’s solos Lullaby and
Der Erl-Konig, by Schubert were
sung with great depth of feeling
and an excellent control of tone.
The clear resonant tones of Miss
Paul’s voice were given full ex
pression in the enchanting Depuis
le Jour from "Louise” by Charpen
tier and the Bird Song from ' Pag
liacci" by Leoncavallo. Her inter
pretation and poise were charm
ing.
Their audience was highly
pleased with the perfect blending
and balance of the artist’s voices
in the duets. Their quality of blend
of tonal color, was outstanding,
not usually attained in duets by
wcmen.
Encores were demanded at the
close of each group of songs and
the artists gracefully responded.
The piano accompaniments by
Mrs. Charlotte C. Elkins were beau
tifully done and the excellence of
her interpretations to the moods
of the artists gave a perfect back
ground for the vocalists.
At the conclusion of the solo
groups and the final number the
vocalists and their accompanist
were presented with lovely floral
bouquets:
