"HER WONDERFUL
LIE" !N MUSIC AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
Two of the worlds greatest singers
and one of Hollywood’s loveliest
stars share stellar honors in "Her
Wonderful Lie,” opening tonight at
the Capitol Theatre.
The singers are Marta Eggerth
and Jan Kiepura. With them is
blonde and beautiful Janis Carter.
Kiepura and Miss Eggerth are
accompanied by the orchestra and
chorus of the Rome Opera House.
'Her Wonderful Lie” is a modern
day adaptation of the Puccini op
era, with Miss Eggerth seen as a
salesgirl in a fashionable dress shop
whose musical ambitions come to
life when she meets and falls in
love with a youthful tenor, whose
favorite opera, like hers, is "La Bo
heme.” She enables him to obtain
an audition, and he wins instant
success in his first role. Because
she suffers from a chronic disease,
she quits the singer for a middle
aged admirer, rather than burden
the former's career. This wonderful
lie leads, finally, to a performance
af “La Boreme,” in which the girl
and her sweetheart are reunited
on-stage, singing the haunting
strains of a glorious love story.

PUBLIC GETS DOPE
ON SMASH HIT AT
SINGERS CONCERT
__
At the March 9 Concert ot The
Juneau Singers to be given at the
20th Century Theatre at 8 p.ni. the
public will be treated to the Louisi
ana Hayride number which is ex
pected to be the smash hit of the
second act.
Leading solo roles have been as
signed to Ruth Nelson, Larry Par
ker and the Rev. Fred McGinnis,
newly arrived pastor of the Metho
dist Church who came from Geor
gia to Juneau complete with a
southern accent and a pleasing
tenor voice.
Mrs. Nelson is the wife of Ur
ban C. Nelson, Biologist for the
Fish and Wildlife Service The fam
ily arrived in Juneau from Evan
ston, Illinois in November of ,1948
and most of Mrs. Nelson’s time is
spent in taking care of their home
and three small children.
Mrs. Nelson attended Northwest
ern University and had her musical
training in Chicago, 111. During her
school years she sang with the Un
iversity band and later trained
especially for radio work, but Mr.
Cupid came along and interrupted
what might have been a promising
radio career.
Mrs. Nelson’s solo role comes in
the first verse of the Louisiana
Hayride, wherein she inquires of the
gentleman (the gentleman being
Larry Parker) what kind of a gay
time he would like to participate
in most of all and is quite delighted
that after three or four guesses,
she hits upon the right one.
In the second verse Fred McGin
nis calls the roll to determine if
Maybelle Emmaline, Susan Candy
ball, Jasmine Washington and a
half dozen others are in the neigh
borhood. From the responses made
by various members of the cast it
is obvious all are present and ac
counted for. Then the entire chorus
breaks into the refrain with unin
hibited motions from heads to toes
to conform to the mood of the
song. It is a very lively number al
lowing much freedom of n ovement.
Part of the scenic effects ior this
number will be several bales ot hay.
DANGER TO REINDEER
HERD ON SEWARD PEN.
IS NOW ELIMINATED
In a letter to the native resources
division of the Alaska Native Ser
vice, John E. Kakaruk of Mary’s
Igloo on the Seward Peninsula re
ports that two Fish and Wildlife
Service predator men arrived in
February and eliminated the major
danger to his reindeer her I by kill
ing off a number of wohes thal
had made attacks.
The two agents, Jay Harno oikJ of
Dillingham and Bob Burkholder
of Palmer, shot the wolves from an
airplane used in this work. Kakaruk
started his herd in December with a
loan of 500 head of reindeer from
the government. Repayment of the
loan is made over a period of sev
eral years with the same number of
reindeer.
Breaking of sled animals will be
gin the last part of March accord
ing to Kakaruk. In Europe, rein
deer have been domesticated for
hundreds of years and families
keep them for milk and meat as
they would cows. The reindeer
owner never has to bother with
feeding his charges since they use
their sharp hooves to dig through
the snow to the tundra grass.
