"GREAT GATSBY"
COMING TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
A novel that created a sensation
at the time it was written by F.
Scott Fitzgerald "The Great Gatsby”
has been made into a picture and
arrives tonight at the 20th Century t
Theatre, with co-stars Alan Ladd,
Betty Field, MacDonald Carey, Ruth
Hussey, Barry Sullivan and Howard
Da Silva.
Ladd, in the title role, has a com
plete change in characterization
from anything he has ever done.
He portrays Gatsby, a poor young
man who returns from World War I
to find that his debutante sweet
heart, Betty Field, did not wait for
him but had married millionaire
playboy Barry Sullivan.
Bitterly hurt, Gatsby decides that
since money is so important, he is
going to make plenty of it, one way
or another. He accumulated a for- '
tune through bootlegging and other
illegal operations, and he starts his
campaign to crash Long Island soc
iety and re-win Betty.
How he uses his money and power
to accomplish his purpose, and the
tragic disillusionments he encoun
ters, constitute what is said to be
outstanding entertainment and a
vivid, realistic picture of the hectic
times.
'BORN YESTERDAY'
ONLY SUNDAY AND
MONDAY, CAPITOL |
Because of the tremendous sue- j
cess of the motion picture version !
of the famed Broadway play, “Born
Yesterday,” the producer has been
forced to limit the Juneau engage
ment to two days. The comedy play
ed two months in Seattle, and many
other cities had similar long runs,
with New York and Chicago, now j
playing it in its 20th week. "Born i
Yesterday” is at the Capitol Theatre I
Sunday and Monday only.
Judy Holliday’s performance is j
tops. The ca$t includes Judy as
Billie Dawn, pretty, blonde, and I
pretty dumb. Has a weakness for
nice things. Also has other weak
nesses.
William Holden as Paul Verrall, is
a boy with a nose for news, an ear
to the ground, a foot in the door
and an eye on a blonde.
“Broderick Crawford as Harry
Brock, a tycoon who doesn’t know
what the word means. Has maybe
10 million bucks. Also has Billie
Dawn . . . maybe!
Story tip: Judy is the sweetheart
of Broderick, a multimillionaire
junk dealer who is in Washington
manipulating a tremendous inter
national deal which, if premature
ly exposed, would get him in trouble
with Federal authorities. A crusad
ing writer, William Holden, starts a
subtle investigation of Crawford’s
activities. Meantime Crawford de
cides Judy needs a light intellectual
polish and hires Holden to do the
Job . . . from here on the story gains
in excitement and the laughs come
so fast you have to see it again to
get it all.
The management reminds all that
the engagement is for Sunday and
Monday only.

ACS IS OBSERVING }'
51 ST ANNIVERSARY
The Alaska Communication Sys
tem is observing its 51st Anniver- ;
sary today. May 26.
The Alaska Communication Sys- ,
tern was created by an Act of Con- |
gress May 26, 1900, at which time
it was given the mission of provi
ding communication to the mili
tary garrisons in the Territory with
specific instructions that the Sig
nal Corps would also provide ser
vice to the civilian population. The
original name—as many oldtimers
will recall—was the Washington
Alaska Military Cable and Tele
graph System or "WAMCATS."
The original installations con
sisted of a telegraph line from the
Yukon Border near Eagle, over to
St. Michael, following the route of
the Yukon River part of the (way.
Another telegraph line followed
the old Richardson Trail from Fair
banks to Valdez where was located
the northern terminus of the or
iginal submarine cable.
The submarine cable was from
Seattle to Sitka, to Valdez, with
a connecting link to Juneau. As
the years progressed and radio be
came more feasible, the radio sta
tions supplanted the old telegtapTi
and cable stations, resulting in in
creased efficiency and amount of
traffic handled.
During the war, the ACS network
was extended to the end of the Al
eutian chain; its westernmost sta
tion being Attu.
The ACS Headquarters, with Col
onel Fred P. Andrews as its Com
manding Officer, is located in Se
attle.
