BIG MELODRAMA
OPENING TONIGHT i
AT 20THCENTURYj
A new type western melodrama,
'The Secret of Convict Lake.” starr- I
ing Glenn Ford, Gene Tierney,!
Ethel Barrymore and Zachary
Scott, will open at the 20th Cen-1
tury Theatre tonight.
This action-drama was inspired i
by an incident that- occurred in
1871 at Monte Diablo Lake, Cali
fornia—now named "Convict Lake" i
jecause of it—and deals fictionally
with the thrilling consequences that
come from a hand of escaped con
victs taking refuge in a community
momentarily inhabited only by wo
men, most of whom are starving
for male affection.
In the course of its action, “The
Secret of Convict Lake” manages to
;tir up three romances, a murder
ind live killings to make it a taut
drama or suspense. The large sup
porting cast including Ann Dvorak,
Barbara Bates, Cyril Cusack, Rich
ard Hylton, Helen Westcott, Jean
ette Nolan, Ruth Donpelly and
Hurry Carter creates a diverse set
~)U characters, giving the picture its
unusual twists.
Three new romantic teams, un
usual for a western film, are intro
duced in the picture.
ROTARY HOLDS
CONFUSED MEET
There was some confusion at a
regular meeting of the Juneau Rot
ary club today when it met for
luncheon at the Baranof hotel.
The incoming and outgoing presi

appreciation for the cooperation of
the club during the past years and
gave advice to “Incoming President”
Ellis Reynolds.
Members muttered that the mix
up was due to Don Skuse being in
charge of the program. However it
was all straightened out and the
real new President Fritchman pre
sented Reynolds with a past presi
dent pin and speech. Other officers
will be installed next week when
the program is in charge of E. J.
O’Brien.
Fourth of July participation and

fishing in Bristol Bay has picked,
up considerably in the Kvichak and
Egegik areas but there are practi

done with drift nets.
There is no fishing at all on the
Nushagak river.

pack on Friday and Monday and
the service is now awaiting word
