which is the feature at the Capitol
theatre, will continue its showings
through Saturday night, it was an
nounced today.
Joel McCrea, credits Clark Gable
with having started him on his suc
cessful acting career.
It was back in 1928 when Gable
was working as an extra in "The
Fair Co-Ed," a silent picture star
ring Marion Davies, with many oi
its scenes filmed on the Pomona
College campus. McCrea, then a
Pomona student, was watching the
filming when Gable urged him to
mix in with the extras on the
theory that it was a better job than
the newspaper route which McCrei.
was then running to help pay hi:
college expenses.
McCrea took the advice, became
an extra, and within a short time
graduated to leading roles and star
dom. With "Stars in My Crown"
he celebrates his twenty-first anni
versary in motion pictures.
Ellen Drew and little Dean
Stockwell are other principals in
the action-filled story of a two
fisted parson, with Alan Hale.
Lewis Stone, James Mitchell and
Amanda Blake in tne supporting

LONGTIME FRIEND OF
ALASKA CONTRIBUTES
TO LOCAL RED CROSS
The Juneau Chapter of the Am
: erican Red Cross is the recipient of
i a contribution of $15 to be included
in its annual drive fund from Mrs.
I M. E. L. Gann, 84 year old world
: traveler residing at present in Al
berquerque, N. M,
Mrs. Gann has made the world
her home since the year following
the First World War and has made
several trips to Alaska. She made
long visits in several different years
with the Goddard family when they
owned the Goddard Hot Springs
near Sitka, and made many friends
in Southeast Alaska.
Each year she has made a con
tribution to the local Red Cross
Chapter but this year she wrote
her old friend, Mrs. A. F. Ghiglione
of Juneau that she was increasing
her contribution because while she
prays it will never be needed to
aid in case of disaster, in these
present trying times there is the
possibility of need and she wants
to feel that she has in some way
helped her old friends.
Mrs. Ghiglione met Mrs. Gann
nearly 20 years ago in Yellowstone
Park shortly before she was leaving
for one of her visits to Alaska. She
said today that Mrs. Gann has each
year contributed to the local chap
ters of the Red Cross in various
parts of the states where she has
made close friends.
