HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS GIVE
 FINE COMEDY
Lively Entertainment Pre- sented at Coliseum
 Last Night
Tf1ITYFTVElIa77l7IyTUJ mi
By ARNOLD SWANSON

A large audience was pleased with and amused at "Dulcy," a gay three-act comedy by Marc Con nelly and George s. Kaufman, which was presented by the Ju- neau High School at the Coliseum Theatre last night.
 When the curtain rose at 8:15, a series of entertaining and humor- ous events, were presented to the appreciative audience. The story deals principally with the eager determination of Dulcinea Smith to be helpful to her husband, Cor don Smith. To further his inter ests she plans weekend party, having as her guests very ill-as- sorted group such as only Dulcy could summon about her. The three acts reveal them just before and after dinner on the evening of their arrival and the following morning. Their brief association becomes an unbroken series of hi- larious tragedies.
 Blunder- Success
 It is Dulcy's final blunder which unexpectedly crowns all her mis- taken efforts with success. Mean while, she has all but ruined her husbands plans to put through an important business deal. Among her guests are the rapturous sce- mario writer who conspires to elope with the daughter of the capital ist who loathes motion pictures; the plausible rich young man from Newport, whom Dulcy invites be- cause he may be useful in assist ing the aspirations of the capital ist's wife to become writer for the films; the ex-convict whom she has employed as butler in her work of social uplift. Everything goes wrong, including the bridge game, the golf and the billiards But the most exquisite torture she inflicts upon her guests is the occasion when she invites the scenario writ CT to recite one of his hectic plots to interpretative music played at the piano by the lunatic. It is with this experience of Dulcy's bored guests that the play reaches it's highest level, and everything turns out all right.
 Vivacious Miss Harland
 The difficult role of Dulcy was we'll enacted by the charming and vivacious Patricia Harland. Cor

don Smith, the harrasSed husband, was portrayed by Edward Slagle in a realistic manner. Henry, the mysterious butler, was acted by Lewis Beaudin, who gave the ap- pearance and the effect of real honest t-to-goodness house servant. Bill Parker, Dulcy's brother, was given lively tone by Walter Scott. The part of the philanthropist, c. Roger Forbes, was portrayed vivaci- ously and forcefully by Bill Winn. Tom Sterrett, Forbes businesslike and efficient secretary, was ably enacted by Tom Stewart. Schuyler Van Dyck, the man of hallucina- tions, was played unusually well by Scott Ford, whose duke-like bows were charming and whose piano playing was good.
 Goed Representations
 Herb Mclean gave a convincing and humorous character enactment to the role of Vincent Leach, the scenarist and ardent lover. Mrs Forbes, the striking wife of c. Roger Forbes, was acted in a man. ner most gracious by Anabel Simp- son. The romantically inclined daughter of the Forbeses, Angela, was excellently interpreted by Bir- die Jensen. Blair Patterson, a young lawyer and distant relative of Schuyler, was given a polished interpretation by Clifford Berg.
 Good Settings
 The setting and the lighting ef- feet were very outstanding. The wall hangings and draperies, made by Sylvia Berg and Margie Allen, were so designed and so colored that Dulcy's handiwork in interior decorating was much in evidence The furnishings, which were se- cured by Lincoln Turner, were very appropriate for the living room scene. The lights were handled by Frank Behrends, and some very colorful effects were produced. par ticularly during the second act, which represented after dinner.
 The girls costumes were well se- lected by Sybil Godfrey, wardrobe mistress; and LeRoy Vests se- lections for the boys costumes showed good taste. Much credit is due Buddy Lindstrom for his ef- fective handling of the play cast and the production staff back stage. Other members of the pro- duction staff were Everett R. Er- ickson, director; Anita Porter, promptress; Emily Dalton, assistant promptress; Gerald Bedding, as- sistant stage manager; Minnie Rog- CTS, Gertrude Conklin, Edith Niemi, Inga Lindstrem. Margie Allen, and Emily Dalton, makeup.
 Other Personnel
 The personnel of the house com- mittee consisted of the following: ticket seller, Bernice Riedel; ticket 'aker, Joe Sterling; head usher Jeanne VanderLeest; ushers, Helen Beistline, Mary Jean McNaughton, Ellen McKechnie, Marguerite Hick- ey, Claudia Kearney, Ada Giovan

 Owned by Mrs. Minnie Hurley, employee of the Juneau-Douglas Telephone Company, a Christmas cactus at her home had today, by actual count, 132 blossoms and buds. That's real blooming!
 Mrs Hurley's cactus usually has between 50 and 60 buds at this time of the year. It usually blooms twice a year, at Christmas and around Easter time; but this year, the plant also showed blooms in July. Both of these facts are laid to the mild weather, Mrs. Hurley said.
 She has had the plant eight years. The blooms are cerise in color.

MYSTERY IS CLOAKING
WRECK DEVELOPMENT

LIBERTY, N. Y, June IA. -
(UP)-A mysterious naval Off
Ger, who seized papers and chemi-
Gals carried by William Bader,
Buffalo chemical engineer, was
added last night to the puzzle of
the American Anyways liners
crash in the Catskills.
After a two-hour conference
with Coroner Victor Bourke, the
officer sped away in a Ford sedan
bearing navy plates without dis
closing his identity. Bourke said
the visitor was from gu. S. Navy
Intelligence" but declared he had
been pledged to secrecy regarding
all other details.
Bourke had indicated he would
retain custody of the papers and
chemicals in belief they might
shed important light on the ques-
ton of whether Bader's chemicals
exploded, causing the plane to
crash on Mongaup mountain, kill
ing all seven occupants. The chem
list carried two bags aboard the
plane. The papers and chemicals
taken by the navy officer were in
one. Only shreds of brown leath-
er and pulverized glass were left
of the other.
The coroner, who previously had
referred to the papers as secret
navy explosives formulate" assert
ed he had been "sworn to secre-
cy" and that he had surrendered
his evidence on order of IAN au-
thority which superseded my
state right"
Arrival of the intelligence Off
Ger, on the heels of word that the
navy department at Washington
had denied it was investigating
the crash, was dramatic. Newspa-
permen at liberty saw the car
bearing blue plates inscribed "U.
S. N" whisk through main street
at high speed. They gave chase
and overlook it at Livingston Ma
nor, where it stod before the home
of Coroner Bourke.
Two men in civilian clothes
were in the car. One threatened
violence to any reporter who
"lays hands on this car"
After a long wait, an attend
ant from DR.. Bourke's office call
ed the driver into the house and
he emerged with a large bundle.
A few minutes later Bourke and
the visitor, in civilian clothes,
emerged. The navy officer brush
ed past newspapermen with curt
"nothing to say" and was carried
away as fast as he came.
Bourke was subjected to a bar
rage of questions. These he par
ried with a statement that the
officer mot only questioned my
right to hold these papers and
materials but also my right to d.
vulge any information regarding
them"
Bourke announced earlier he
had turned over investigation of
the papers and chemicals angle
of the case to federal authori-
ties" and that his formal inquest
was being held up pending report
of surveyors trying to learn
whether the plane fell in Sullivan
or Dutchess, county. He refused to
say whether the navy was the
federal authorities" referred to,
but said he did not mean the de-
partment of commerce.
Later it was announced the
scene of the wreck was in Ulster
county, mile over the Sullivan
county line. However, DIR. Bourke
said he would proceed with the
inquest, having made an agree
ment with Ulster county officials.
