WORLD WAR | DATA
IS GIVEN 10 MUSEUM

Three books containing much his
tory of Juneau and the people who
lived here in 1917, 10 and 81 we're
turned over to the Territorial Ii
brary and Museum by M. S. Whit
tier, Deputy Collector of Customs
this week. The books are the Sc
lective service registers of this local
ity during the last World War and
contain the names of all who reg
istered from Juneau during the
period beginning in 1917.
Mr.. Whittier, who has kept the
books all through the years. was the
Clerk in Charge of the Registration
Board in Juneau during the last
year.
In addition to the registration
books, which contain the. names of
many still prominent in the city's
life, Mr.. Whittier gave the museum
the complete service record of all
from Juneau who served the United
States during the first World War.
The record shows from where the
men enlisted, the branch of service
in which they served and the cita-
tons and medals which many were
given for bravery or outstanding
behavior on duty and the place in
which they served. Juneau can well
be proud of the number of men who
served in France, Siberia and Italy
and those who were decorated for
bravery and achievements. Another
book, which completes the collection
of World War I data from Alaska
is that which contains the names
of all selective service boards
throughout the Territory. which was
among the material Mr.. Whittier
gave to the museum.
The material, now in the museum.
is of particular interest now when
another generation of Alaskans is

BACK STREET"
COMES SUNDAY,
CAPITOL SCREEN
Famous Story by Fannie
Hurst Stars Charles Boy
er, Margaret SULLIVAN

Packed with the same emotional
dramatic elements which made the
original novel so popular, Univer-
sails perturbation of Fannie Hurst's
Back Street, starring Charles
Boyer and Margaret Sullivan, is
one of the outstanding pictures of
this or any other season.
The production. opening Sunday
at the Capitol Theatre, has not
sighted any of the sensational
drama of the novel. In picture
form it contains every one of the
tense dramatic situations, emotion
al climaxes and vivid CT aracteriza-
lions which lifted the novel, when
published. into six-figure sales liter
ally overnight.
No better choice than Charles
Boyer and Margaret Sullivan for
the roles of Ray Smith and Walter
Saxel could have been made. Skill
ed, convincing, competent in their
handling of the delicately shaded
situations. powerful in the heavily
emotional scenes, Mr. Boyer and
Miss SULLIVAN deliver performances
which are among the most excell-
ent ever presented to the Amer
lean public.
Back Street" tells the story of
a girl who is content to live in the
shadowy back streets OF a great
mans life, sacrificing to help him
in his career. suffering from loneli-
ness which is her lot while he is
busy with family and cuisines s
affairs.
The supporting cast was excep-
tionally well chosen. Frank Nc
Hugh, Tim Holt, Samuel S. Kinds,
Frank jerks, Peggy Stewart, and
Nell O'Day have pivotal roles and
each seems inspired by the oppor-
tunity to perform in the picture.

Paramounts newest comedy hit,

chestra and Jerry Colonna at the

morrow at the goth Century The

Written and produced by Gene

ply, the film has a cast Astounding
in screen favorites like Lillian Cor
nell, Albert Decker, Edward Everett
Horton and Teddy Hart. With a
combination such as this, it is in
evitable that You're the One"
should be the swell entertainment
bet that it is.
Bonnie, the "Oh, Johnnie" girl of
radios Hit Parade, featuring Tuck
er and his orchestra, is headed
straight for permanent place on
the screen, if her splendid work in
this film is any criterion. She and
Tucker make an extremely engag-
ing pair
Most of the story's action takes
place in DR.. Colonna's weight-re-
ducing sanitarium, which is run
along musical comedy lines, with an
orchestra and floor show Colonna
is at his maddest-and merriest as
the proprietor. In the film, Bonnie's
ambition is to sing with Albert
Dekker's orchestra, that is. until
she meets handsome Orrin Tucker.
Then she changes her mind and
focuses all her efforts on joining
his band as singing star.
Singing the song that she took
from an obsecurity that lasted more
than twenty years, Bonnie Baker
sings "Oh, Johnny" in a manner
that seems great deal more effec-
tive than on the radio.
