'SLEEP, HY LOVE,'
STRANGE STORY,
IS CAPITOL'S BILL
_
There is a different story than j
usual to be unfolded on the screen ■
of the Capitol Theatre tonight. It |
is “Sleep. My Love”, and the story
is as follows:
Alison Courtland (Claudette Col
bert) wakes up to find herself on a
train bound for Boston. Only
through the friendship of a Mrs.
Tomlinson (Queenie Smith) is Ali
son able to piece together the events
which took her from her Sutton
Place home in New York to the j
train.
Upon her arrival in Boston she |
phones Dick Courtland, her hus- ‘
band (Don Ameche) and arranges j
to return. During the return trip1
she meets her good friend, Barby
(Rita Johnson), who introduces her
to Bruce Elcott (Robert Cummings).
At home, Alison’s husband con
vinces her that she has had a
strange loss of memory. Being in ex
cellent mental and physical health
this strikes Alison as very odd.
Alison soon has a visit from a
Mr. Vernay (George Coulouris) who
poses as a well-known psychiatrist.
He emphasizes the fact that she is
suffering from a mental condition.
In reality, Alison’s husband Is con
spiring with Vernay and Vernay’s
wife, the woman Alison knew as
Mrs. Tomlinson, to drive Alison to
suicide. Courtland then plans to
share his wife’s huge fortune with
Vernay and Daphne (Hazel Brook),
the girl with whom he is in love.
Bruce Elcott becomes very much
interested in Alison and is worried
about her peculiar fears. He takes
her out one evening when Courtland
is secretly out with Daphne. Later
that night Courtland hypnotizes
Alison with a drugged cup of cocoa
and then persuades her to Jump off
the balcony—to certain death. But
Bruce, suspicious of Courtland’s
motives, returns just in time to
save her from making the leap.
The next day, Vernay, impatient
at all the delays, decides to take
matters in his own hands. He ar
rives at the Courtland house to find
Alison under her husband’s hyp
notic influence. In this condition,
Alison is directed by Courtland to
shoot and kill Vernay. Vernay sur
vives the gun wound and himself
turns on Courtland and kills him,
planning to throw the blame on
Alison, who is still in a state of
hypnosis. Bruce again arrives at the
right moment and, sensing the situ
ation, he immediately pursues Ver
nay, shoots it out with him and kills
him. Alison and Bruce are then free
to turn their backs on the past and
I face life together.

Golden North Salmon
Derby Big Even! This
Month; Big List Prizes
The time for 1950's Golden North
Salmon Derby is practically here
and, through the cooperation of
Postmaster Crystal Jenne, The
Empire is attempting to tell the
Salmon Derby story without violat
ing the postal regulations that for
bid mention of lotteries (that is
what the salmon derby has been de
clared) in newspapers that go
through the United States post
offices.
Our mail edition is published first,
without mention of the Derby.
In this edition, which will have no
circulation through the mail, The
Empire gives the first listing of
the prizes that will be offered this |
year—in fact we’ll tell you every
thing we know about the derby
that is scheduled to be the best ever.
Total prizes have already reached
a value of $6,084.
The Derby prize committee plans
to combine prizes where necessary
to insure a minimum value of $20
to $25 for each prize.
The Derby dates, of course, are
July 28, 29 and 30. If the Judges
should cancel one day of the derby
because of bad weather, no exten
sion of time will be made. If two
days of fishing should be cancelled,
one additional day will be desig
nated at a later day.
Derby fishing hours will be from
7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
All persons-^any man, woman or
child who complies with the rules
may enter the contest, providing
that children under 16 must be ac
companied by an adult and persons
between the ages of 16 and 21 must
present written permission of par
ent or guardian unless accompanied
by an adult.
Entrance fee for the derby is $5
for one day and $10 for all three
days. Tickets and copies of rules
are available at:
Juneau-Young Hardware, Mad
sen’s Cycle and Fishing Supply,,
Percy’s Cafe, and Thomas Hard-!
ware Company.
Anyone wanting space on a boat
during the salmon derby, July 28,
29 or 30, should see Jack Burford at
Burford’s. Likewise, anyone having
a boat to rent or extra space on a
boat should advise Burford.
The M.S. Forester is available
for charter Saturday and Sunday,
July 29 and 30. Anyone desiring to
sign up should see Burford imme
diately. The cost is $10 per person,
per day.
Boat space is at a premium, so
participants are urged to make ar
rangements early.
The prizes are on display in the
windows of the Alaska Electric Light
and Power Company, arranged by
Ed Peyton, in charge of prize dis
play.

THESE DAYS

GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
GRABBING AT BANKRUPTCY
Every once in while, a labor
leader comes up with a notion that
sounds good at a convention and
then Is forgotten in the hurly
burly of normal affairs. These
leaders are, of course, politicians
who have to please their constitu
ents, just like anyone else does who
spends a couple of weeks telling
the people of his great ideas and
then letting them lapse in the hope
that they will be forgotten.
Sometimes, but rarely, one of
these fellows is sincere and then
We get into real trouble because
he manages to Implement his ideas
by action, to the detriment of the
country. For instance, Oscar Ew
ing must be a sincere person. No
one with a doubt or a sense of
humor could pursue his .fanatical,
biased, unbelievably unrealistic am
bitions to produce a socialized med
ical and educational system in a
free country. Congress keeps bat
tening dpwn Oscar Ewing's ideas,
plans and ambitions, but he con
tinues unabashed and without ab
atement. From time to time, Oscar
Ewing is able to move into the
realm of action.
Recently, David Dubinsky came
up with a notion that is original
and harmful. Dubinsky is a
shrewd, keen manager of one of
the most successfully operated
unions in the United States. In
his industry, which deals mainly
with women's garments, it is im
possible to raise wages much, Be
cause women have a nasty way bf
not buying when prices become un
reasonable. Many of their pur
chases are postponable and there
fore the price factor is extremely
important. That affects wages.
So there wan t. convention of
Dublnsky’s union and like every
other labor leader, he had to make
a speech promising heaven-on
earth, which is one of the reasons
why we are in so much trouble.
As long as heaven stayed in heav
en, we were fairly safe, but the
moment politicians, educators, dem
agogues and even some of the
clergy started to shift the locality
of perfection, they scattered con
fusion into the lives of normal
people.
Brother Dubinsky’s proposal is
that no firm may go out of busi
ness without the consent of His
union because “they made their
money with us.”
In the first place, it is to be
presumed that both the employer
LAST SHOWING OF
THIN MAN' TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
There's a thrill per minute and
a laugh per second in the new 20th
Century offering, "Song of the
Thin Man,” screening tonight for
tire last times.
In their latest adventures in hi
larious homicide and murderous
mirth, William Powell and Myrna
loy tackle the funniest as well as
the most spine-tingling mystery of
their long and successful careers.
Laid against an unusual back
ground of a gambling ship and
New York's hottest Jive night clubs,
the story centers on a two-timing
band leader whose shooting is at
tributed to the owner of the gamb
ling ship, with whom he has quar
reled. Suspicion also points to the
socialite father of the gambler's
wife; to a clarinet player whose
girl the band leader had jilted; and
to the racketeer to whom the mur
dered man was In debt for a large
sum of money.
Nick Charles, Invariably accom
panied by Nora and their ingra
tiating little terrier Asta, finds him
self head-over-heels In conflicting
clues and narrowly misses being
killed himself in a number of sus- ,
pense filled situations. But in his
own imperturable way he manage.'
to extricate himself and his cheer
ful wife from their various di
lemmas and In the final exciting
dennument uses a priceless necklace
to Identify the slayer of the band
leader.
and the worker made his money or
lost It because the customer bought
or did not buy goods. It Is a little
difficult to trace how a manufac
turer made whatever money he
did make except out of the pur
chasing power of the people. In
Dubinsky's Industry, a cold and
rainy spring can cripple the finan
ces of the manufacturers, con
tractors and storekeepers and re
duce the earnings of the workets.
Manufacturers have been known to
to broke because style tastes sud
denly changed. Nobody “made
their money with" Dubinsky’s union,
except the union bureaucrats who
set salaries whether times are good
or bad.
There Is nothing that David Du
binsky can say against this argu
ment, except that he does not like
it, which he will undoubtedly do
thte next time we meet. Secondly,
he knows, as well as I do, that
the turnover among firms In his
Industry is large for many reasons,
the principal one being that they
are small business men with shoei'
string capital.
It Is the policy of the United
States to encourage small business
operations, but most union leaders
prefer huge corporations, as they
are easier to handle. So Dubinsky
asks;
"Can you visualize a firm that
has been in business twenty or I
thirty years and has accumulated
a (severance) fund of $3,000,000,
$2,000,000 or $500,000 going out of
business?"
Precisely how is such a fund to
be accumulated without raising
prices? How is such a fund to be
handled? The small firms engaged
in the cloak and suit business do
not deal in figures of these dim
ensions. Certainly no such com
pany can set it up as a reserve out
of current operations. Is it to be
set up before or after taxes and
what becomes of all the ‘dead”
money lying about out of circul
ation? How is that to be used in
the national economy?
It does not seem sound to set
up a permanent two percent sev
erance pay reserve. It looks like
another grab at the earned dollar,
a grab that will increase bankrupt
cies. The real danger is that as ,
it will be so dangerous to stay in
business, few will take the risks
attending such Industries.
