ire on colonial, and subsequent
politics. Nor with the novelty of
Kurt Wells musical score. Those
were part OF the sentimental at
tachment which has been one of
the most persistent Of a lifetime
But they were only part.
More so in memory was the meet
ing with Walter Huston in the skele-
ton of the National Theater during
the final dress rehearsal.
But how about your singing?"
we asked Mr.. Huston who, as Peter
Stuyvesant, had to express his hap
py, dictator's heart in song.
Mr.. Huston answered the question
by getting up and walking onto the
stage.
"Play my number, please" he said
to the conductor.
The conductor complied and the
orchestra and Mr.. Huston went
through September Song" plant
of passion not yet dead, but dying,
yet a song filled with the convic-
ton that youth also had its Short
comingS.
"See," said Mr.. Huston, when he
finished, II can't sing note, but
it's great song, isn't it?"
He was right on both counts.
Then there was the Saturday night
of that week when 1t was whispered
that the President was coming to
see how the earlier Roosevelts were
faring in Anderson's tuneful satire.
The press was to have the box
directly across from the Presidents
from which, presumably, it could
watch his reactions to the drama
and, report on them, if there was
anything unusual in them. 1t is al
ways a memorable night when the
President goes to the theater, as
he has done less than half a dozen
times in the past 10 years. There is
an electric quality about it, nervous
and disquieting feeling, from which
the President may be exempt but
virtually no one else is.
We were sitting on the inside of
the box, keeping one eye on the play
and one on the other box, one ear
on the words and music and the
other on whatever robust laughter
might come from across the way.
1t seemed the only correct profess
sional posture, and it probably was,
but it was responsible for the
greatest moment of terror we ever
knew in a theater.
We suddenly became conscious OF
a beautiful woman in white sitting
on the floor beside us. Before we
could decide whether to shout the
alarm, grapple with the intruder or
60 on being paralyzed with terror,
the woman remarked with diSarming
calm:
He seems to be enjoying himself,
doesn't he?"
The woman was Nan Sunderland,
Mrs. Huston, who as hostess was
peeking through the box rail to see
whether her guest Of honor was
having a good time.
It is the sort of thing that helps
a play to leave its mark on man.
Or a woman or child, for that
matter.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS
ARE MOVED TO MAKE
WAY FOR NEW PAVING

The old Russian pushka, which
for years stood in front of tbs
Russian Cathedral, had to be moved
because of the paving job on Lin
coin Street and is being mounted
at the Lincoln Street entrance to
Baranof Castle between the Fed
eral Building and the Kettlesor
Building.
Work of moving the landmark
was undertaken by the American
Legion, which had a work party
turn out on Tuesday evening, to
begin the job.
The pushka and two stone petro-
griff both have great historical
value as the canon was cast in
1928 and the petrogriff which
were brought to Sitka from a
location, are said to date
from 900 AID, according to re-
search by DR.. ]. Hrdlicka.

CITIZENS ANSWER
APPEAL OF MAYOR


Sitka's citizens have responded
well to an appeal made last week
by Mayor Winn Goddard to obtain
help for the various city enterprises
which have begged down for lack
of labor. The labor shortage was
also threatening to greatly reduce
the fishing and canning industries
of Sitka
However the mayor was able to
report Wednesday that the shortage
has been greatly reduced by the
willingness of the people to work
additional hours after completion
Of their regular jobs each day.
1--WE are still threatened with n
labor shortage but it is no longer
acute" said Goddard.
Volunteer help was requested to
register their spare time last week.
Much Of this volunteer labor has
been designated to the fishing docks
where the staggered shifts have
brought about a definite increase
in production.
The city street paving project
showed signs of progress this week
as concrete was laid on downtown
Lincoln Avenue.
Contractor John Gushing said al
though the labor shortage has
greatly handicapped the project
paving will soon be laid from the
docks to Sheldon Jackson School.
