SHIRLEY TEMPLE,
DAVID NIVEN ARE
IN CAPITOL'S BILL
Shirley Temple is one of the few
Hollywood performers who rarely,
if ever, blow’s a line. After 17 years
before cameras, Miss Temple has
now’ completed her fortieth picture,
Colin Miller's "A Kiss for Corliss,”
in which she is co-starred with
David Niven, and is considered a
veteran of the kleig lights. The
picture, a United Artists release, is
at the Capitol Theatre tonight for
(he last times.
During the making of ‘ A Kiss for
Corliss,” which is based on the char
acter, Corliss Archer, created by F.
Hugh Herbert, Shirley was'discuss
ing the charms of David Niven, her
, secret” heart interest, and got off
, with a tongue twister like this:
"It’s elementary that he’s electric
and elegant and eligible.” This is a
little tough on the tongue and came
out garbled.
“You got short-circuited on that
one,” Director Richard Wallace told
| her, when the “electric” came out
I eiectable.”
SHRIKE CLUB TO HOLD
AHHUAL PICNIC JUNE 10
The Juneau Shrine Club’s unof
ficial weather prophet, Noble SPer
K. G. 'Doc' Merritt, borrowed Dr.
Jrmcs Ryan's rabbit-foot, praised
Allah, and gazed into the crystal
j i ill and thereby proclaimed Sun
| day, June 10 as the date on which
i clear sky would• b"ini forth the
deal day for the Juneau Shrine
Club's annual picnic. .
As the Temple of Salomon occu
pied seven years in its construction,
during which time history informs,
that it rained not in the daytime,
hat the workmen might not be ob
structed in their labor; likewise,
each year during the past seven,
at the event of the vernal equinox;
Doc' has gazed into the future to
pick a day of sunshine and blue
waters for the Shriners annual
picnic.
While it has been unofficially re
ported that Doc,’ as a precaution,
retains PAA reservations for a
world tour; Gene Vuille, Presi
dent of the Juneau Shrine Club,
is inspired with a firm faith in his
wisdom and is scanning the club
membership rolls to pick commit
teemen, well skilled in the art of
picnics.
In this regard President Vuille
advises that this annual event is
for the singular purpose of enter
tainment and amusement of all
children of Gastineau Channel;
limitations will necessarily have to
to be plaeed on adult attendance,
which tends to subtract from the
Nobility's efforts in entertaining
the children.
Full particulars will be announ
ced as soon as all procedure plans
are completed.
RETURN FROM TRIP

AT 20TH CENTURY
_
One of MOM’s most realistic sets
was constructed for the new Mar
garet O'Brien starring vehicle,
j "Tenth Avenue Angel," which opens
tonight at the 20th Century Theatre.

covered two full blocks of. the stu
dio’s Lot Two, and was complete in
every detail, even to its store win
dow decorations and the elevater
train that rumbled overhead at
regular intervals.
A feature of the first day’s work
' was a realistic rainstorm, plus Mar
garet O’Brien’s prowess at ska tint
on a single roller skate. She suc
cessfully dodged trucks, taxicab
and other vehicles.
"Tenth Avenue Angel,” based 01
a story by Angna Enters and a
sketch by Craig Rice, is a, dram;
about a little girl who sees only
beauty in her drab surroundings,
thanks to the understanding quali
ties of a sensitive and beautiful
mother. The cast include’, little
Miss O'Brien, George Murphy, An
gela Lansbury, Phyllis Thaxter
Warner Anderson, Rhys Williams
Barry Nelson and Connie Gilchrist
