Street Light Carols

For one unidentified householder
in Ell Centro, this may clear up a
rather confusing cituation. 1t will
clear it up 10 a certain extent that
is.
One of RR's agents took this over
the Telephone from several young,
whispering callers, later identified
as Jerry Asher, jr., Dick Davis, Joe
Brinnon, Cecil Barker and Charles
Smaller.
They explained seriously tina t
they had been out seranading homes
with the Wilson School Recreation
Pep Song and that at one home
a puzzled citizen thrust her head
out the window and inquired about
the racket.
This" the boys explained to her,
''is what we do for recreation in
. stead of breaking street lights!"
RR is sorely tempted to tamper
with the truth and quote her reply
as:
For the love of Mike, 60 back
to the street lights!"

Prickly Perry
'Ionnie! You-Whooo!'
Mrs. L. f. Perry called to her
husband while on a gem-hunting
expedition on the desert. 1t was
time to go home and Mrs. Perry
figured her spouse had strayed far
enough.
"Drat the man! Why doesn't ne
answer?" she grumbled to herself
as she watched a distant figure.
"Lonnie! Answer me. Let's 90
home"
The distant figure paid no at
tention.
Thoroughly aroused by this time
Mrs. Perry slogged through the
sand. To herself she thought OF
a few dire things to do to the
erring mate. BY the time she had
reached the top of knoll only a
few steps from the figure she had
worked herself into a mild rage
and boiled over:
Come on HOME! What do

Regarding the item concerning
Sherman Eldridge and his boast
that he would chuck his golf clubs
in the lake, if ever beaten by one
of four linksmen-an event which
came to pass last Sunday-hiS wife,
Anna, made this appeal:
please do not urge him to throw
those golf sticks into the drink, be-
cause I bought those clubs for him
and it took me a year to pay for
them!"
To save his honor RR suggests
that Sherman might turn his bats
over to Anna and order. in the same
King Arthur tradition, that she
throw them in the lake, OF course,
she doesn't have to obey.

PORTRAIT OF SEWARD GIVEN
 TO TERRITORY
Presentation Made on 74fh Anniversary of AL
 dska Purchase

Carrying out an expressed desire of the late Judge James Wicker sham, the oil painting of Secretary William H. Seward which long adorned the Wickersham home, was presented to the Territory on AL aska's Seward Day by Mrs. Grace Wickersham.
 The Judge, a lifetime student of everything that pertained to AL aska's past, regarded the painting which has now become the prop erty of the Territory. as the best of the several portraits that had been made of the Secretary of State who negotiated the Alaska purchase from Russia. It was painted by H. Kaufman in the latter years of the Secretary's life. The canvas is about two and one-half by three and one-half feet in dimension and is encased in a well-designed gilt frame with glass.
 In accepting the painting on be- half of the Territory, Gov. Ernest Gruening said Alaska is grate- ful for the gift of this excellent portrait of man to whom we are chiefly indebted for bringing this great north country into the fold of the United States. Without his vision and tenacity of purpose there can be little doubt but that Alaska would today be foreign soil. We can be sure that Judge Wickersham was well aware that acquaintanceship with such significant mementos of the past as this portrait helps to stimulate pride and interest in this Territory among Alaskans. As a leader among those who pioneered the work of implanting American culture and institutions in this new land he, himself, doubtless drew inspiration to carry on from his

10TH CENTURY THEATRE HAS
 COMEDY FILM
Three Cheers for the Irish Has Star Cast-Ends
 Tonight

What this world needs is a good laugh. And the 20th Century is obliging by presenting one of the funniest comedies to come out of Hollywood In Three Cheers for the Irish" Warner Bros has as- sembled a cast of 100 percent Irish, headed by Priscilla Lane, Dennis Morgan. Alan Hale and Thomas Mitchell. This feature is on for the last times tonight
 With the story taking place in New York City. Mitchell plays the role Of a member of New York s Finest, the Police Department. Forced to resign from the force be- cause of his age, Mitchells family of three daughters decides that he should run for alderman. The daughters, played by Priscilla Lane Irene Hervey and Virginia Grey, all pitch in and work their heads off to get their pop elected.
 His campaign manager is none other than Alan Hale, whose bonn bastic nature is matched only by his intense love for good glass of lager. Fighting, as always, through out the film, Hale dominates every scene in which he appears. Dennis Morgan, handsome star, plays the rOle Qf vollnp rookie in the pO- lice department, and is madly in love with Mitchell's daughter Priscilla. Her father refuses to sanction the match.

Gold Rush Maisie" Has Last Showing at
 Capitol

Ann Sothern, who characterizes
 the stranded showgirl with the
 whiplash tongue and the heart Of
 gold as no one else can. returns
 to her familiar and popular role with more hilarious results than ever before in Gold Rush Maisie, n which ends tonight at the Capitol
 Theatre.
 This time Maisie, who began her screen career in a ranch setting and then jumped to the African jungle in her second adventure, is adrift in the midst Of the Arizona desert when her old jallopy breaks down while she's emoute to a cafe-singing job By the time shes through she has even the coyotes tanned.
 A cast of thorough troupers sur rounds her. Lee Bowman, as Bill finders, hermit owner of a desert ranch who finds Maisie welcome until she dodges his ad- vances, wins leading man status in this picture. Slim Summerville, as his hired hand, Fred Gubbins, brings riotous comedy, and Fir- ginia Weidler, as Jubilee Davis, young daughter of a family Of itinerant crop followers, more than holds her own with the adults.
 Maisie becomes adopted by the crop followers when she finds her singing job already taken. and des- peIately heads for the gold strike to seek job there. The whole out it descends on Bill Anders much to his disgust.
