COMEDIANS GIVE GALORE
 AT C 0LISEUM

Olsen and Johnson, the roistering comedy team of radio and stage fame, have shown delicious form of humorous entertainment at the Coliseum for the past two nights and tonight they appear in the last showing of Country Gentlemen"
 The Scandinavian duo portray the shady characters of phoney stock promoters, bill jumpers, kidnapers, confidence men, forgers and scoun- drels who in the end prove that their intentions were noble all along, and not a widow or an or phan could condemn them.
 The plot unfolds merrily, disclos- ing Olsen and Johnson in prepos- terously funny situations brought about by their efforts to fleece the public in a thoroughly rEe way. Joyce Compton portrays the oh-so- dumb young lady who adds to the complications by trying to prove Olsen and Johnson wolves in sheeps' clothing when they're really just a couple of little lambs at heart!

CAPITOL COMEDY |IS SMASHING HIT,' FINALE TONIGHT.

Theodora is still going wild" at the Capitol Theatre, but tonight is the finale for the comedy in which Irene Dunne, erstwhile dramatic star, displays her right to the front rank as Hollywood's most enjoyable comedienne.
 Firstly, "Theodora Goes Wild" is screen entertainment which com pines delightful nonsense with a plausible story, scintillating perfor- mances by Irene Dunne, Melvyn Douglas and large supporting cast, sparkling dialogue by scenarist Sid ney Buchanan and truly inspired di- rection by the versatile Richard Boleslawski
 The greatest surprise of all is the introduction of Irene Dunne as a full-fledged comedienne, a bold move by the Columbia Studios big wigs who were convinced that, given the proper story, "the orchid lady" could romp and rough-house with the best of them.

 The motorcycle hill climbing con- test, participated in by eight mem bers of the Juneau club, opened the night events and was followed in order, by the tug -of-war and the Finn Horse contests.

until it was ascertained that Fleet vas not injured.
 y The contests were run under the American Motorcycle Association regulations, under which, Secretary Bert Whitfield said, the local mem bers hope to send their outstanding members to the national meet next year. Jack Lennon acted as the official judge. He was assisted by several Legionnaires.
 Tug of War
 The setting for Juneau's night jubilee quickly shifted to the Tri- angle at Front and Franklin Streets where, after a short interval, the stage was set for the annual tug-of- war, which was won by team com- posed of carpenters and pile driver men.
 A team composed of Films was de- feated. After some discussion, it was decided to conduct this contest with six-men teams instead of the ten-men teams, as originally plan ned, because of the shortness of the rope.
 The winning team, which copped the prize of $100. consisted of the following men: John Osborn, Fred Paddock, Oscar Mangsol, John Jrsh- barger (anchor man), Severt Jacob son, and Peter Dick. The team was organized by Walt Hickey and was coached by Joe Paddock.
 The losers, organized by David Davis, were composed of Gust Nur- mi (anchor man, Vaino Seppanen, George Harju, George Salu, Ivar Martini, Oscar Karpi.
 With E. M. Policy as judge and Bill Franks as timekeeper, the 10- minute tug contained all elements of suspense until the final second melted away A margin gained by the carpenters early in the tug stood them in good stead as a last minute rally of the Films barely failed.
 Finn Horse Contest
 This set the stage for the frolick- ing, rollicking Finn Horse contest, in which more than a score of con- testants drawn from the hundreds of spectaotors, competed The $10 first prize was won, after series of eliminations, by John Osborn, who outlasted Bob Lougheed in the final event Lougheed was award ed a second prize of $5.
 Other men who participated in the finals, by conquering at least one other contestant, were: Howard Austin, Joe Given, Robert Bryant Joe Paddock, Chubby Woods, Ed Torgerson and Bob Strong. In a boys contest Elroy Hoffman won over Raymond Seeds.
 Spectators Watch Events
 Rain, which predominated all contests, failed to keep throngs of spectators away. They stood, ten deep in places, around the roped-off spaces. From overlooking office, hotels and apartment buildings, spectators looked out of windows and from the tops of stores.
 As the tug-of-war contest took place, wagers among members of the crowds were made and the Finn Horse contests quickly attracted money favoriteeS.
 The events were concluded shortly before 10 o'clock.
