Trout Derby Led by
Juneau Housewife
With One Day to Go
A Juneau housewife has taken
over the lead in the cutthroat divi
sion of the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce Trout Derby and heads
the field by a three-ounce margin
with only one day’s fishing left be
fore the end of the rod-and-reel
classic.
She is Mrs. Leonard Lowell, who
took over first place last night when
she brought her 4-pound 12-ounce
entry to the derby headquarters at
Juneau-Young Hardware Company
to be weighed in ‘‘before it shrank.’.’
She caught the fish during a week
end fishing trip to Turner Lake on
the south side of Taku Inlet.
The derby, which began June 1,
will end at midnight tomorrow, and
anglers are out today trying for the
coveted spots in both the cutthroat
and Dolly Varden divisions.
Frank Wright, who led the cut
throat division for a week, was
pushed back one spot when Mrs.
Lowell entered her speckled heavy
weight, but he holds second place
by three and one-half ounces.
J. S. (Skip) MacKinnon, Jr., is
in third place with a four pound
five and one-half ounce entry, taken
at Turner Lake over the weekend.
Leonard Lowell also entered a whop
per from Turner Lake last night,
the 3-pound 15-ounce fish putting
him into fourth place.
Meanwhile, no changes were re
ported in the Dolly Varden division,
although it was known that several
of the early contenders, moved into
the lower division by Douglas
Blanchard’s entry a week ago, were
dipping their lines in the Dolly
streams leading off the Taku River.
Pacing the Dolly division, Blanch
ard leads by one pound with a six
pound four-ounce entry. Second is
Luis deFlorin, with a five-pound
four-ounce entry. Carl Lane is hold
ing down third place with a four
pound ten-ounce Dolly to his credit.
Two sets of prizes are being of
fered, one set for the best three cut
throats and the other for the win
place-show among the Dolly Var
dens.
First prizes will be .30-06 rifles;
second prizes fly-fishing outfits; and
third prizes bait-casting outfits.
There is no charge for entering
the derby.

IS NOW ON SCREEN
AT CAPITOL THEATRE
_ I
i
The story of a young doctor who :
has to choose between assured'
wealth, fame and success or working
out his career the hard way in the
tenements of New York is unfolded
with compassion and understanding
in “The Doctor and the Girl,” new
M-G-M drama now at the Capitol
Theatre.
Glenn Ford plays Michael Corday,
who starts out his Internship with
the advantage of being the son of
one of the country’s most brilliant
and eminent neurologists.
Dr. John Corday (Charles Coburn)
paints a glowing picture of his son’s
future if he can remain impersonal
to anything but his knowledge as a
doctor.
Michael's cold detachment, how
ever. breaks down during his train
,ng period at a general hospital
where he comes face to face with
the tragedies of the underprivileged.
.When he falls in love with and
marries one of his patients, Evelyn
Heldon (Janet Jeigh), a girl of no
family or position, the break be
tween father and son Is complete.
Michael’s younger sister, Fabienne
(Gloria De Haven), also quarrels
with her father when she runs away
with a married man.
From this point on there is an
exciting story with the usual happy
ending however.

MICKEY ROONEY
HERE TOMORROW
AT 20TH CENTURY
Mickey Rooney has a brand new
sweetheart in "Killer McCoy,”
punch-filled MOM drama in which
i he comes to the 20th Century screen
j tomorrow. She is Ann Blyth, who
j joins Rooney, Brian Donlevy and
1 James Dunn in a hand picked cast. |
The young actress has now i
reached a climax in one of the most !
remarkable success stories in Holly- j
wood. After a fair start in musical
comedy roles, she achieved fame ;
over-night with her first dramatic ^
performance as Joan Crawford's
daughter in "Mildred Pierce," for
which she won an Academy Award
| nomination.
On the heels of that success,
however, came misfortune—a broken
back suffered while skiing. After
nearly two years of inactivity, she
bounced back to prove her ability
in steller roles.
In “Killer McCoy,” dramatic prize
fight story, she plays the daughter
of Brian Donlevy, and falls in love i
with Rooney against her father’s ■
wishes. As a result of her romance <
with the boxer, she becomes in- J
volved in a gangland war as gamb
lers seek to “fix” a big fight.
