Dangerous
Corner Is 10
Be Staged
Juneau Players Will Pres
emf Production al Coli
scum Next Month

Dangerous Corner" the Juneau
Players production to be presented
at the Coliseum Theatre ON Novem-
Der and 8, illustrates the sensible
prcvetb, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie"
1t shows what happens when a
suspicious husband insists upon pry-
ing into the private lives of the
group of conventional people sur
rounding him. Finally, when his
useless work is completed and he is
almost crazed by the realization of
the broken lives that lie in shreds
about him, the merciful curtain of
white lies and conventionality again
clcaks the characters and the truth
of the ancient adage is proved.
No Hero Heroine
Strictly speaking, there is neither
hero nor heroine, but Frances Wor-
obec, who formerly played in Bel
assoc productions on Broadway, car
ries the leading feminine role. Even
in bleak, business-like rehearsals,
she clutches the heart strings of
the other players and what she will
do to an audience in more faorable
conditions, can readily be imagined
1t is safe to say that the memory
CT her hauntinely beautiful voice will
linger long after the rest Of the
play is forgotten.
Other Characters
Edith Danielsen, who formerly
played for several years with a
stock company will have the role
of the straying wife. She has de-
lighted audiences in the past and
will do so again. Elaine Housed, as
Betty" another spoiled young wife,
holds the key to the difficult sit
uation. During a year spent re-
Gently in southern university. Miss
Housed was elected to membership
in a Mummers Club and her in
depreciation of the role shows why
she attained that honor. Bess VIM,
who has appeared in numerous
local dramas, will fill the role of
the successful authoress, secretly
suspicious and prying, but stand
ing in awe of her more worldly COM
panions.
8 Men in Cast
There are three men in the cast.
AL Dreith, formerly a member of
both the Denver Little Theatre Com
pany and of stock company, will
personify the persistent husband.
Fred Aver, in the shady part of
Stanton" lifts the play into the
realm OF professional acting, with
his splendid and realistic interpre-
tation. Lewis Gaffney presents
fine picture of the greatly bothered
young husband.
Fred Aver. for many years an ac-
tor on the legitimate stage. is di-
recting the play All are invited to
save the date.

don't think ARTHUR Donovan has
done himself any good BY the piece
appearing under his name In the
current issue Of Liberty.
Il reads e. II 1t had been written
while the. author. was leaning
against the ropes between ROUNDS
Of O preliminary fight. II gives his
views on what will happen when Joe
Louis defends his heavyweight title
against Arturo 0odoy thursday eve
ming.
TO say that author Arthur Is
biased Is putting 1t mildly. One
doesn't have to read between the
lines to understand that Donovan
will be greatly surprised II Joe
doesn't belt the South American into
slumber In their second meeting.
Justifable
One can understand, after reading
Donovan's article why Godoy's
manager, AL Well, hastened to tell
the boxing commission that he
wanted no part OF Donovan In the
ring on Thursday. Usually O man
ayers beef against o referee Is for
publicity purposes, and no one pays
any attention to II. But this time
Well would be less than alert II he
countenanced referee who had put
It down In black and white that he
thought Godoy was In for o trying
Is Tor fewer) rounds. '
Donovan's article will not further
his standing either In the literary or
the boxing set. Until this story came
along he was well on his way TO es-
tablishing himself as the No. 4 ref
cree In the United States, No small
part Of his popularity was based on
the belief that he handled all fights
the same; that he went into the ring
completely without opinion, willing
TO allow the blows struck to mould
his opinion.
Now. that belief must be altered
trifie. his Is not to intimate that
he Is In anyway dishonest. No, not
that. But at the same tlme any
man with as definite an admira-
ton for O fighter as Donovan has
for Louis is not fitted to handle that
fighters engagements. II would be
only natural for him 10 unconscious
ly allow his feelings TO color his
judgment.

Need OF Cash By
Boston Bees
Forced Lopez Deal

Boston, June 15-(UP)-Catcher
AL Lopez, whose connection with the
cash NEEDY Boston Bees ended with
his trade TO the Pittsburgh Pirates,
was In New York today to join his
new teammates.
Lopez trade to the Pirates for
Catcher Ray Berries and an unail.
sum OF cash was announced
last night by an unhappy BOD
Quinn, president Of the Bees. Ber-
res was TO report here before to-
days game with the Chicago Cubs,
but whether he was to see imme-
diate action was undecided.
Neither party would reveal the
amount Of cash involved. 1t was re-
called that last winter the Pirates,
Influenced by Manager Frankie
Frisch, who last season broadcast
Boston games, were reported to have
offered as high as 100000 for Lo-
peg. It was not believed, however,
that as high q figure was paid for
Lopez, though the sum was said to
be substantial"
Tough Task
Telling Lopez about his switch
was one OF the toughest Jobs I've
ever had TO do In baseball" said
Quinn. HE was one Of the Bees
best workers. In fact, I stand ready
To say he Is the best catcher I've
ever SEEN"
quinn admitted that the Bees
need Of money was the principal
motive behind the trade.
IF we didn't need the money I'd
have kept AL on the Job. In fact, II
two other deals which we were on
the verge Of completing and which
I felt would benefit our club hadn't
fallen through, never would have
sold Lopez, said Quinn.
Al Joins Pirates
New York, June 15--(UP)-Catch-
err AL Lopez was scheduled TO Join
the Pittsburgh Pirates here today.
Lopez was obtained from the Bos-
ton Bees last night In exchange for
Catcher Ray Berries and an ti1ar-
nounced sum OF cash. Berries reports
