ALASKAN HUSKIES
IN SKELTON FILM, j
CAPITOL THEATRE
Director Jack Donohue had to re
sort to all the ingenuity at his
command in handling Red Skelton
in his latest laugh riot, “The Yel
low Cab Man,” which is at the Cap
itol Theatre for the last showing
tonight.
One hilarious scene of the new
comedy has Skelton driving a Yel
low Cab to the North Pole, w ith the
cab drawn over the icy wastes b\
a team of seven Alaskan huskies i
All went well except for one catch j
—Skelton Is allergic to hair, par- j
ticularly dog's hair!
To solve this unexpected prob
lem, the director moved the com
edian's dressing room off the sound
stage and kept him off the set and j
away from the huskies. He re
hearsed Skelton alone in his dress- i
,ng room, and the dogs alone on the '
set. Then, when the sequence was |
ready for filming, star and huskies
went through it together at break- j
neck pace so that the star's allergy |
would barely have time to take.
The irony of the problem is the
fact that Red Skelton actually love,
dogs!

HOWARD OTTKE IN
ARMY AIR COURSE,
PENN STATE COLLEGE
Howard J. Ottke, who was grad
uated from Juneau High School
with ihe class of 1950, is a pleased
and humble PFC. While a couple
of his buddies enlisted in the Army
Air Corps last January when lie
did, have been assigned to duty as
a stenographer and cook, Howie
is studying air administration at
Penn State College.
And that is just what he wanted
all the time.
Following Ills graduation from |
high school, Howard, got a job last I
summer with Alaska Airlines in
the stewards department and made
live trips to Tokyo. It was a won
derful experience, according to his
family, and one of the most inter- i
esting things that happened to1
him was meeting Miss Mary Jane J
Ball, formerly a cashier at the Bar- |
anof, in Tokyo as a secretary on'
the staff of General MacArthur. j
Howaid, himself un old Baranof i
employee, was given a tour of the
city by Miss Ball -saw much that
be would never have had an op
portunity to see, except for his'
friend and the army car in which
be was shown the city. An active!
member of Juneau's civil air pa- I
trol, nothing but something to do
with flying had any interest for
Howard when he went south for
college in the fall. The only air
administration course he could
find was at Everett Junior College |
. . but in January he quit school
and enlisted in the air corps.
Basic training was at Lackland
Airfield, San Antonio and thanks
to mathematics land the advice of
his teacher, Emily Dean Millice)
Howard passed all of his examina
tions—including control tower—
and before long was assigned to
air administration training at Penn
State.
It wasn’t all luck. There was a
lot of hard work involved. But one
Juneau boy is in the army—and
just where he wants to be. He
thinks the army is pretty swell—
it has certainly treated him right.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nor
rert Ottke, are pleased, too.
Caterpillar Bulldozers have taken hard knocks in every
corner of the world — and some of the hardest have
been right here in Alaska and the Yukon. Experience
gained under widely varying conditions of terrain and climate,
and on all sorts of jobs, is reflected in every inch of their de
sign and in the use of tough, high-quality steels. An 8S Bull
dozer mounted on a Caterpillar D8 Tractor as pictured above
makes a fast, easily-controlled and perfectly balanced working
unit. Caterpillar Bulldozers are available with straight or
angling blade, hydraulic or cable controlled. Inquiries are
invited.

THE BLACK ROSE"
HERE WEDNESDAY
AT 20TH CENTURY
Although movie battles usually
go according to the script, one such
battle in "The Black Rose," found
the side supposed to be victorious
losing decisively before an advanc
could even be ordered.
Orson Welles, playing the blood
thirsty Mongol general. Bayan of
the hundred eyes, was the unhappy
victim in the case. Prepared to con
quer before the camera’s eye, five
hundred of his army’s helmets and
breast-plates fashioned out of plas-j
tic melted in the sweltering 120
degree sun of the Moroccan desert.
The war was called off until metal
equipment could be obtained from
England.
"The Black Rose," an epic of high
adventure, comes to the 20th Cent
ury Theatre Wednesday.
