|"GONE WITH WINDY OPENS SUNDAY AT 1 CAPITOL THEATRE
Matinee Tomorrow = One Show Nightly for
 Four Nights

Gone With the Wind" opens Sunday morning with an Il o'clock matinee. This is a return engage ment of the picture at the Capitol Theatre.
 It is the most faithful filmization of novel the screen has ever att tempted. Every word, character and event in Margaret Mitchell's dra- matic story lives on the screen. It contains undoubtedly the most beautiful and breath-taking Tech nicolor photography conceivable.
 Clark Gable, is naturally, per- feet Rhett Butler. That much was to be expected and it's the greatest acting job he's ever done. Vivien Leigh is wholly Scarlett. She is the greatest find in decade, definitely an overnight star. Leslie Howard is outstanding and Olivia de Havilland surpasses anything she's ever done. Those are the stars; for the others, one phrase will cover their per formance-ideal casting and bril- liant acting. Among the featured players who shine brilliantly are Thomas Mitchell, Hattie McDaniel Barbara ONeil, Ona Munson, Laura Hope Crews, Carroll Nye, Harry Davenport, Alicia Rhett, Ra ] Brooks, Evelyn Reyes, Ann RutheS- ford, Butterfly Mcqueen, Oscar Polk. Victory Jory, Eddie Anderson Fred Crane, George Reeves, Jan Darwell and Everett Brown.

MI(Ek DIED OF FAIL, HIS BODY
 BEARS WITNESS
Inquest Planned Today in Death of Man Found
 in Gold Creek

Joseph Micek, who disappeared May and whose body was found yesterday noon in Gold Creek at the entrance to the mine sflurne died from fall and not by drown ing, it was determined today at a post mortem.
 Examining the body on orders of U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray, Dr. w.. P Blanton found Micek had died of broken neck Severe bruises about the shoulders showed he had fallen from considerable height.
 An inquest was to be held at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon in Com missioner Gray's court.
 Micek's hat and coat were found May 12 at the head of a falls on Gold Creek. It is believed the man either jumped or fell down the cliff into the stream below. At tempts to find his body in the deep pools of the creek proved un- successful. The body has been un- der the cold water of the creek and is well preserved, Commis- sioner Gray said.
 It was dislodged from some deep hole by the high water of the last few days and floated down to the Hume entrance, where it was dis covered by Plume Tender Pete Ludwig.
 Micek had arrived in Juneau in search of work about 10 days be- fore his disappearance.

sTEFFl DURA,
 EXOTIC DANCER,
 AT 2OTH CENTURY
Talented Girl Appears with Brian DonIevy in Down
 Went MeGiniy' Sunday

Not so long ago motion picture writer-who was also a director wrote featured part into his scrip which called for "a talented dancer, dark, beautiful, exotic and able to- act; to portray the role of Latin American dance hall girl The writer director was Preston Surg es and the girl he selected with out hesitation for the role was Steffi Duna, who answered his every requirement. The picture isI Down Went McGinty," the Para mount comedy drama which opens Sunday at the goth Century.
 While the general belief has been that Miss Duna is native of Mexico, she was really born in Budapest, Hungary, and the Mexi- can idea originated largely because of the roles she has most often played upon the screen. AS a dan cer she has appeared in most of the principal capitals of the world London, Paris, Brussels, Warsaw, Vienna, Leningrad, New York and many others.
 The opening scenes of Down Went McGintry" are set in cafe in a banana port town in South America, where Steffi is working as dancer. She is interested in an absconding American ban k cashier, who is bent on suicide, but is prevented by Dan McGintry, once the Governor of great State, but now the cafes barten- der. It is the life story of Mc- Ginty which forms the basis of the picture-a tale that is, in the main, tremendously funny but which includes several tensely dra- matic situations in the development of its plot.
 An outstanding cast of players was assembled for this picture headed by Brian Donlevy as Dan McGinty; Akim Tamiroff as the all-powerful boss of a political ring: and Muriel Angelus as Cath erine McGinty, Dams wife. Other featured players are William De- marest, Allyn Joslyn and Miss Du- na.

good on a horse, is counting or two things to put his series over His confidence that the singing cowboy is fading before straigh action stuff, and the rediscovereC | scenery.
 He doesn't want, even for thu novelty of it, to put himself for ward as a cowboy from Brook lyn" or metropolitan bucka roo"
 "The kids he whispers, "wouldn' stand for it.
 But if a city slicker can do the cowboy stuff, says l, he's got the kids-and good laugh on the competition besides. As good 8 laugh as. old two-gun Bill Hart who hailed from Newburgh, N. Y. and yet ruled the movie western roost for years.
 Tom Keene would rather let it be known that he ran away from the eastern bailiwick when he was 10, and knocked around Texas ranches in his youth. May be he's right.
 But only four of the current name cowboys can lay claim to western birth, whatever their sub sequent cowboy training may have been. Gene Autry, Ken Maynard, Tex Ritter are from Texas, and Roy Rogers is from Wyoming.
 The first movie cowboy, Broncho Billy Anderson, knew only the plains of Fort Lee, N. J., and Chi cago before his movie debut. Tom Mix had real cowboy experience, but look at the rest: from Iowa, John Wayne, Bob Baker; from h. diana, Buck Jones; from Kansas City, Mo, Bill Elliott; from Ala bama, Johnny Mack Brown; from Ohio, Bill Boyd; from Massachu- setts, Charles Starrett; from San Francisco, George O'Brien; from Hollywood, Tim Holt.
 And the kids don't seem to mind.
 Sonia Henie, who wanted black ice for 8 number, has it now thanks to dye used in the frozen water. But Sonia and the giries, in their. white costumes, have to be careful. One spill means change of costume, for the dye comes off They've dubbed it the Black Bot tom' number.
 ! Sonia has been trying, ever since 1886 when she featured it in he1 tour, to work her swan dance into movie. Several times she almost succeeded, to the point of having costumes readied and the routine rehearsed. For one reason or an other the swan never got to die or the screen. Now the number is "in' at last. It'll be in Sun Valley Ser enade"-done as a burlesque by comedienne Joan Davis!

Deluxe Lettuce
 Exisis
Bills of Large Denomina- lions Plentiful, But They
 Do Not Get Around
AP Feature Service

CHICAGO, May 31 - If you should reach into your wallet some happy day and pull out a bill bear ing the portrait of Samuel Chase. do you know what you would have?
 Ten thousand dollars.
 Did you know that the likeness Of James Madison adorns the $5,0OO bill; Grover Cleveland. the 5000; William Mckinley, the $500; Benjamin Franklin, the $l00; and U. s. Grant. the $50?
 There's plenty of this de luxe lettuce in existence g. .480 900. 900 worth, in fact-but it doesn't get around enough for most mortals to sec. Nor, strangely enough. for all bankers to see. M
 Officials of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago estimate that $1 0o,o00.000 in notes of $50 de- nomination and up have gone into hiding since 1883.
 This idleness was attributed, i7 part. to low interest rates on say- ings accounts, hesitancy of some banks to accept savings deposits unless suitable investment out- lets are in prospect. and purchase of American dollars by foreigners.
 The biggest bill of all is the negotiable $100,00O gold cer- tificate. A total of $2.S0O. .000. 900 worth was printed when the United States went off the gold standard in 1884. They were giv- en to the Federal Reserve banks by the Treasury Department as receipts for surrendered gold.
 These bills picture Woodrow Wilson, and are the same size as ordinary $l bills. But there the similarity ends.
