"ANNIE GET YOUR
GUN" IS FEATURE
CAPITOL THEATRE
A rootin’-too tin’-shoo tin’ feature
is at the Capitol Theatre and the
star is Annie Oakley. It is Techni
color with 10 Irving Berlih song hits
added. The feature is “Annie Get J
jYour Gun.”
The business of bringing a sue-:
i cessful Broadway stage hit to the
j screen isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Motion picture audiences, as has
! been proved time and time again,
are from Missouri. They have to be
• shown. In other words, sequences
that get by successfully on the stage
with merely a mention must, by the
very nature of the event, become
entire scenes on the screen, with
special sets, costumes and dialogue
prepared in the augmented script.
“Annie Get Your Gun” is a classic
example of how far the motion pic
ture must go beyond the limits of
the stage to satisfy audiences.
Where, in the play, Annie talks of
receiving her medals, in the picture
she is shown hobnobbing with
crowned heads while they decorate
her!
On the stage, talk of the stupen
dous, breath-taking, death-defying
Buffalo Bill show is enough to stir
the imagination. On the screen, the
entire Buffalo Bill show, not as the
j motion pictures dream it should be
| but as it was actually presented, ap
! pears in detail, historically correct
even down to the last feather on
Sitting Bull’s headdress.
Preparation for the shooting of
“Annie Get Your Gun” preceded
the actual production date by some
twelve busy months. This time was
given over to re-writing the book for
the screen, research on costumes,
settings, manners and customs of
the time; building the gigantic sets,
painting the backdrops, preparing
| the musical score — and trying to
j find enough real Indians to fill the
I requirements.

INSPECTION SHOWS 4
ANS REINDEER HERDS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Four reindeer herds under the
I supervision of the Alaska Native
| Service are in good condition with
the exception of one herd that has
suffered a 200 head loss from foot
rot, according to Dale Belcher, Na
tive Resources Assistant Director.
He recently returned from a two
months inspection trip of the herds
and other native resources activities.
The infected herd was inspected
eight miles west of Noatak in No
vember. Noatak is an Eskimo village
on the lower part of the Noatak
river in northwestern Alaska. Two
infected feet were taken for labora
tory inspection by the Arctic Health
Center of the U.S. Public Health
Service. It is expected that some
kind of control treatment can be
worked out. The four herds number
approximately 7,000 head.
Early in the morning of Novem
ber 13 while Belcher was at the
i Siyou corral across Eschscholtz Bay
on Kotzebue Sound, an onshore
j wind blew water into the camp site,
l Ice was also piled on part of the
line fence leading to the corral.
The water drove Belcher, George
Wilson, ANS administrative assist
ant at Kotzebue and the six Eskimo
herders from their beds.
Grady Carothers and G. Allen,
| who were there to buy 14 head of
reindeer for Christmas exhibition in
Goldthwaite, Texas, were also driven
from their beds by the water. The
ice prevented the use of the corral
and because of this, the herd could
not be counted and marked. An esti
mate was made of the herd.
Wolves killed seven or eight head
of reindeer in this herd on the south
side of Selawik Lake near Kotzebue
Sound as it was moved from fall to
winter range. Four out of five wolves
were killed from a plane in Novem
ber by a Fish and Wildlife Service
predatory control man. Thirty-five
wolf traps were sent to the herders
so they could try and trap the
wolves bothering the herd.
Belcher reports that the past sum
mer was the hardest in the last
few years as far as herding because
of the dryness of the range and
insects »that bother reindeer. Other
places visfted by Belcher were Kot
zebue, Deering .Noorvik, Selawik
and Elephant Point.
Information has been received by
Belcher from the Nome ANS office
that repayment of 500 head of rein
deer has been made on the herd
at Golovin on the north side of
Norton Sound. This herd was bor
rowed in 1946 to start a new herd.
In turn, the 500 head have been
loaned to another Eskimo to start a
herd at Igllo. Reindeer are loaned
by the ANS to start a herd with re
payment to be made with animals
of the same age and sex as those
received on the original loan.
PARTY FOR MISS NOBLE
Mary Alice Noble was honored
with a birthday party in the Iris
Room at the Baranof Hotel Sat
I urday afternoon, although her
| birthday falls on December 31, New
| Year's Eve. She is 16 years old.
Guests were Jane Flint, Donna
Jewett, Bonnie Jo Lynch, Lynnette

VETERAN GUARD OF
GLOBE TROTTERS IN
GAME HERE JAN. 9
Brooklyn is famous for its base
ball team—and Tom Sealy (picture
above), the veteran guard of the
Harlem Globetrotters, who match
their basketball wizardry against
the Juneau All-Stars here one week
from tonight in the High School
gym.
This is Sealy's second sojourn
with the Globetrotters, who discov
ered him originally when he was the
ace of the McDill (Fla.) Field quin
tet during his air corps days in
World War II.
The easterner made good in a big
way utilizing his six foot three inch,
190-pound frame to good advantage
at all phases of the game. Tom re
mained in the east for several years
but rejoined the Globetrotters last
year and showed that he still pos
sessed the same speed, drive and
high-scoring tendencies that marked
his earlier tenure with the torrid
Trotters.
He is exceptionally good on de
fense and usually is assigned a
tough opponent to guard.

SCHWINN BIKES AT MADSEN’S
FIELD CREWS, BUREAU
OF MINES, TO RESUME
WORK NEXT SPRING
All Bureau of Mines field crews
with the exception of one have re
turned from the field to the Bu
reau's headquarters here in Juneau
The last field crew returned re
cently from working on the nickel
copper deposits at Punter Bay on
Admiralty Island. This crew, under
the direct supervision of Robert
S. Warfield, ceased operations for
the mid-winter months and will
probably resume operations in the
early spring.
One party continues to work
through the winter at the Golden
Zone Mine 12 miles west of the
Colorado Station on the Alaska
Railroad. This party is conducting
diamond drill operations for the
purpose of developing strategic re
serves of copper bearing ores.
Other parties which have al
ready returned to the Bureau head
quarters were investigating mater
ials suitable for use in local con
struction industries in areas adja
cent to the Alaska Railroad. Ma
terials investigated were limestone
and shale for cement, clay for
brick and tile manufacture, clay
or shale suitable for light weight
concrete aggregates and clay and
shale suitable for manufacture of
mineral wool insulation. These in
vestigations are to resumed next
season.
Another party worked in the
j Matanuska coal fields conducting
! deep diamond drilling operations
to increase the known reserves of
mineable coal. This area contains
the only known reserves of bitum
inous coal in central Alaska.
Although substantial mining op
erations have been conducted for a
number of years on beds that crop
out around the margins of the coal
bearing area, no specific infor
! mation is available regarding the
greater part of the area which
is concealed under overlying rock
formations. The Bureau of Mines
drill operations started several years
ago and will continue each season
until the coal reserves of the dis
trict have been proven.
All mining investigations have
been under the supervision of J. A.
Herdlick, chief of the bureau's min
ing division.

NEW RAFT FILM
IS TOMORROW
AT 20TH CENTURY
“Intrigue,” a story of present-dny
food black market operations in!
Shanghai, opens tomorrow at the
Gross 20th Century Theatre with
George Raft in the starring role and
June Havoc and Helena Carter as
the steller feminine players.
Raft, who co-produced the film
with Sam Bishoff, lured Miss Havoc
away from Broadway to play her
first and long sought-after straight
dramatic role. The presence of Miss
Carter, a relative newcomer to fllm
dom with only two small parts be
hind her, in the cast is also due
to the star who has a reputation for
gambling on newcomers.
His sure fire ability to spot poten
tial talent is well-known in Holly
wood with the late Carol Lombard,
Ava Gardner and Janet Blair,
among others gaining stardom ns a
result of Raft’s sponsorship.
The picture also features a new
contender for hit parade honors—
the title song, “Intrigue,” written
especially for the film, which song
stress Nan Wynn performs.
The supporting cast includes Tom
Tully, Marvin Miller, Dan Seymour
j and Hassin Ezzat, the toast of the
| Egyptian cinema, as well as every
; available Oriental in Los Ange'.es.

35 BOY SCOUTS AT
WINTER CAMP FOR
3 DAYS LAST WEEK
Although one troop had abandon
its plan to haul their food and
bedding into Eagle River scout camp
by sled, because the snow was too
deep and too soft, 35 Juneau boy
scouts and their leaders engaged in
unsuccessful three-day trip last
week. For some of the boys it was
their first experience in building
fires during the winter and cooking
outdoors. Because of the short day
light period, scouts cooked only
breakfast and lunch outside, with
supper being provided in the mess
hall for the entire group. Melted
snow was used for cooking water
and dish washing. Boys slept in the
bunkhouse, except for the second
night when three hardy members
of troop 613 slept out; as chance
would have it, they picked much the
colder of the two nights for this.
Campfires were held in the lodge
building both nights, with group
singing and stunts provided by the
scouts. Group instruction was given
by the scoutmasters in breaking
(rail, outdoor cooking, and in proper
packing. In addition to these activi
ties. Friday afternoon a mass game
of fox and geese in the snow, and
a snowball fight, were enjoyed by
the campers. Scouts went to the
camp Thursday morning and re
turned Saturday afternoon.
Largest troop representation was
from 609, sponsored by the Metho
dist Church. Fourteen scouts accom
panied scoutmaster Gerald Miller,
Thursday, including: Frankie De
Land, Peter Hocson, Jimmy Long,
Richard Burnett, Donald Leege,
David Argetsinger, Fritz Barricklow.
Eric lieach. Bill Morgan, Dan Bost,
Norman Steinig, Ronald Steinig.
Allen Crask and Richard Genthner
Nine scouts from the American
Legion troop 613 went out Thurs
day: John Holmquist, John Stickler,
Christie Crondahl, Robert Jewett,
Bill Pegues, Fred Ross, Gerald Tay
lor, Robert Whistler, Tim Miller
and Artie McKinnon. They were
joined Friday morning by Pat Ness
and scoutmaster Bill Weber.
Five boys from the Catholic
Church troop 23, assisted by ex
plorer Wayne Powers, a-nd their
scoutmaster, Charles Buttrey, also
arrived Friday morning, after assist
ing in removing a large tree which
had fallen across the Eagle River
road near Tee Harbor. These scouts
included: Donald Abel, Paul Doyle,
Jack Rhode, Warren Powers, and
David McPhetres. Hiking into the
campsite Saturday morning to help
in moving out the scouts were com
mitteeman Paul Burnett and hi;
friend Jesse Sparks.
Helping with the transportation
for the camping trip were: Capt
Norman Steinig, John Argetsinger.
Maurice Powers, Robert Thibodeau,
Mai Greany, the Rev. S. A. Mc
Phetres, Comdr. Goff and Don
Abel. Tim Miller's father also pro
vided a truck, which was driven by
scoutmaster Jerry Miller.
