ALDRICH COMEDY IS MAKING HIT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Laughter in large quantities was dished out Sunday at the goth Gen. ..ury Theatre, when Paramount pre- sented it's new Henry Aldrich com sdy, Henry and Dizzy" with Jim my Lydon as Henry and Charles Smith as Dizzy. The lad whose mis- adventures entertain millions of us on screen and radio, is depicted in his funniest adventures.
 The two boys are spured on by the thoroughly delightful little Mary Anderson, whose ideas, while not very practical are extremely amusing. The three of them cut a hugely hilarious swath as they try to get out of trouble and only suc- ceed in getting into it still deeper
 This newest Aldrich escapade concerns the borrowing of a dil- apidated motor boat for a spin around the lake. The Aldrich luck being what it is, the motor goes sour and in Henry's frantic efforts to fix it, he practically tears the boat apart with the unhappy result that it sinks. The problem of mak- ing good on the boat or going tc jail provides extremely funny en- tertainment,

BERRY E TOUGH GUY IN FEATURE
 AT THE CAPITOL

Wallace Beery is definitely in his own territory as a tough top ser pcant with a heart of gold, in Metro-Goldwyn- Mayors "The Bugle Sounds" story of the new mechan- ized army, which is at the Capitol Theatre.
 The action is strictly authentic, approved by the War Department, which permitted two camera crews to accompany regular army troops on maneuvers at Fort Knox, Ky, and Fort Lewis, Wash, respectively. Baery journeyed to Fort Ord for actual scenes with the tank corps. Accordingly when an avalanche Of roaring tanks careen across the screen, it is the real thing.
 The story presents Beery as a first sergeant of cavalry with rec ord of 29 years in the service. He's driver and martinet, but his men forship him and he is a comfort to his superior officers. Beery swaggers through the role with such realistic effect that sev- eral enlisted men in the audience ducked involuntarily when he bel lowed

 Douglas Does Well
 Douglas is doing splendidly in this book campaign. according to MT. Cowgirl One woman alone gave 25 books, the best of her collection.
 Juneau residents are requested not to wait to be called upon, but to leave books from their libraries in the boxes placed for that pur- pose in hotel Hobbies, stores and other conspicuous places in the city. The books are urgently need ed for the men in the armed forces, to furnish recreation in out of the way, isolated camps where amuse- ments are lacking and aboard pa . trol ships were reading is the only form of amusement. Records have shown that the books most popu- lar are either good fiction or non fiction, technical books and books of information.

Cincy Reds And
Chicago Cubs Will
Mix At Crosby

CINCINNATI-Now engaged in
a lengthy road tour that would tax
the stamina of lesser folk, the
Cincinnati Reds will return to
Crosley Field for a night game
with the Chicago Cubs on July
Is, and by that time they will
have a better indication of how
they stack up in the raging Ma
tional League pennant stream.
Their current invasion of the
eastern cities is an arduous ex-
petition that calls for six double
headers in four towns, three of
them on consecutive days.
They were opened first in
Brooklyn with a Wednesday twin
bill, took on the Dodgers again
in a single contest Thursday, and
again on Friday.
Then came the three double fea-
lures over the Independence Day
weekend, with the first two slat-
ed for Saturday and Sunday
against the Giants in New York,
and the last one on Monday against
the improved Boston Braves. Two
single games will be played in
Boston following that, and the Reds
then conclude their journey with
six games in four days in Philadel-
phia. All told, the Reds viii appear
IN 19 games on the trip.
Lol1ny Frey, the teams sparkling
second baseman, is again ready for
action after more than a weeks
absence due to a pulled muscle in
his leg. Frey's return should brace
the club, although Doody Williams,
who took his place, did admirably.
Williams had never played the
keystone until this season, and
he filled in for Lonny with notable
success.
The Reds have big stuff on tap
at Crosley Field following their
return. After the night game with
the Cubs on July is, the Reds will
battle the rising Bruins in single
game on Saturday, July II, and
a double-header the following day.
Many of the Reds are expected to
participate in the All-Star game
which will be played at Shibe
Park, Philadelphia, on Tuesday.
