George Markham was standing in

MUSICAL HIT Al COLISEUM SHOW
 NOW PLAYING

Casting Dorothy Lamour as the lead in story that satirizes a DOT tion of the stars own career is one of the best ideas to come out of Hollywood in many month. It com pines with good music and fine acting to make the new Lamour picture, "St. Louis Blues, which op- ened Sunday at the Coliseum Thea tre, witty, colorful and highly or iginal production.
 Since St. Louis Blues is a story of life aboard a Mississippi show boat of 1889 vintage-with very little of the "ole man ribber" touch about it-it has a setting well suited to high-geared romance, vital charac- ters and credible situations.
 Miss Lamour, the central figure in the drama (and looking as glam- orous aboard a riverboat as on the remotest tropical isle) portrays a theatrical celebrity who rebels against her managers dictum that she never appear in public except in a sarong. When the manager, a picturesque character played by Jer- cme CcWan, remains adamant, Miss Lamour throws up the sponge = or rather the sarong and runs away from him during a tour of the Mid de West.

SkIERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
 FIRST SNOW
Newly Installed Ski Tow Is Operated for First
 Time Sunday

Approximately seventy skiers were out on the Douglas Ski Trail yes- terday, most of them congregating at the Slalom Course. Ralph Moreau conducted his ski school which was very popular
 The newly installed ski tow was operated and proved highly satis- factory to Juneau ski fans who have been used to walking for their skiing One skier reported that he rode the tow g times and got in four times as much down hill skiing as former ly. The tow will be operated for junior skiers next Saturday at a special rate of 35 cents for the after noon.
 The skiing area was a bit rough but will be better after another snowfall Outside of the slalom course there was trap crust which was dangerous. There was notice able improvement in skiing tech- nique over last year and everyone was trying for control rather than speed. Members of the ski patrol, Juneau's winter first-aiders, were

ANN S0THERN. R0BT. YOUNG STARRED HERE
'Maisie" Featured Now al Capitol Theatre for
 Tonight. tuesday

Robert Young in boots and som- brero is novel sight that awaits motion picture fans at the Capitol Theatre, where he makes his debut as he-man of the plains in 'Mais- ie", the comedy drama in which he is featured with Ann Sothern. Although fans should not be sur prised, because horses are Young s side-line in private life, they prob ably will be when they see him as a two-fisted, woman-hating ranch CT who can ride, fight or love as the occasion demands.
 'Maisie" is a story laid in the West, but is not a horse opera in any sense of the word. It is very modern story of the tangled lives of four people-a rancher, honky- tonk showgirl, an Eastern business man and hs wife who are brought together through circumstances that at times are humorous yet build to a big dramatic climax when a sui cde eads to a murder trial
 There is no cattle rustling, nor gold claims at stake. There is no chase in the final reel with the hero arriving in the nick of time to save the girl from the conniving villain. But it is replete with smart story angles and sums up to fine, intel ligent and, at times, thrilling en- tertainment.

HUSBANDS NIGHT
 TO BE SPONSORED
 BY W0MAN'S CLUB

The regular monthly social meet ing of the Juneau Woman's Club will be an event of Wednesday, eve ming, it was announced today by Mrs. John Mccormick, Chairman of the Legislative Department of the club, under whose auspices the event will be held. The affair will be in the nature of a no-host banquet, held in the Gold Room of the Bar anof Hotel, and will be uniuue in that husband of club members will be honor guests of the wives.
 Legislative Program
 Appropriate to the present pre- filing days for candidates with am- bitions to hold public office, the affair will feature a legislative pro- gram of unusual excellence and quite few surprises, not only in the mat ter of musical numbers but in the more "meaty" discussions that will be included.
 Heavy Reservations
 Mrs. c. c. Rulaford is in charge of reservations for the banquet and she announces that a great deal of interest is being manifested in the event and that early indications are that record crowd will be on hand to participate in the event. In ad- dition to club husbands, several special guests have been invited.
 Clever Programs
 Unique programs, showing the progress of bills through a legisla- ture and some of the pitfalls await ing the unwary sponsor of legisla- tion, are being provided to give special zest to the affair. Assisting Mrs. Mccormick in working out de- tails of this unusual event are Mrs. William L. Paul, and Mrs. R. R. Hermann.
 Slated to begin promptly at 6:30 o'clock the banquet will be informal and the admonition to come as you are' is being given to all who plan to attend.

become a magnificent play and convincing propaganda as well.
 For real fun, give me "The Man Who Came to Dinner" I think it's the funniest play ever saw. Per haps some of its enjoyment traces to the knowledge that Alexander Woollcott is being caricatured. If you know Woollcott or have a sympathetic knowledge of his &C., tivities, you simply have to laugh because you are aware that Wooll- colt, in life, is capable of almost everything Monty Wooley, his im- personator, does on the stage.
 But even if you had never heard of Woellcott you would still be completely enthralled by its al together honest values as comedy. You never saw such incredible sit nations, and yet they are situa- tions in which you can believe. That, to me, is the qualifying eS- sential. As insane as 1t is, some how, someway, you KNOW that it not only can, but that it has hap pened

Odd Pattern of Political HorsepIaY, nti-Nazi
 Farees, Good Lines
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW 4Oflh, Jdil. lO. 4NSN York's theatrical program this sea- son has already spread out into such an odd pattern of pathologi- cal war cases, political horse play, anti-Nazi farces, and dramatized biography that one can scarcely hazard at this writing a guess as to where it is going.
 There is already evidence of good line writing" and in the case of MT. George s. Kaufman and MT. Moss Hart, the we'll known pillagers of temples, an extraordinarily high talent for buffoonery that is both wittily and acrimoniously elegant.
 But I am not so sure that 1939- 40 is going to come up to the sis ter it left behind The Clair Boothe Luce of Margin for Error" is not the Clair Boothe Luce of The Women" or Kiss the Boys Good bye" Margin for Error" is Miss Boothe's design for ridiculing the Nazis. Last year she ridiculed those who sought a suitable Scarlett o. Hara for Gone" and despite its witty lines, that comedy was suc- cess because the play itself was so funny that it could not escape success.
 Ridiculing the Nazis is, by com parison, only slap-stick. You can put lines into any comedians mouth and permit him to dom- mate the stcoge. This is what happens in Margin for Error" The wicked daggers which Miss Boothe threw in her previous comedies have all been exchanged for custard pies. The audience laughs, and the caricature of an American-G German bund leader is made to appear ridiculous. But the triumph here is triumph for the town bully over the village idiot. It is no contest. What Miss Boothe's objective was I am, of course, unable to say. If she want ed loud, and sometimes pretty obvious, comedy, she succeeded. If, on the other hand, she really wanted to discredit Nazism, she missed the mark. The play is funny only because of the pies she hurls at her handmade stooges. I personally regret that she didn't begin with two equal forces-that is to say, with her Nazi represen- tatives the intellectual equals of her anti-N -Nazis--and then calmly let the Nazis disinfect themselves through the inferiority of their own logic. I think this would have
