In Excellent
Recital

Alpha Mu Omega fraternity men,
bers and their guests had thor
oughly delightful evening Wednes-
day when they gathered at the Ruth
Teeple Reid studio for a meeting
at which Marilyn Ingle, one of the
valleys most promising young musi-
clans, was presented in a program
of violin and piano solos.
Marilyn is studying at McPhail
conservatory, Minneapolis, Mimi,
and is home for the holidays. Some
of the violin numbers we're those
which she played for a concert
given by the conservatory few
weeks ago in which she was the
solo artist.
For her first group the young ar
fist played piano numbers, the Pre-
Jude in f. Major" from Johan Bach's
1.-The Well Tempered Clavichord"
and THE Kettle Sonata" by Edward
Mcdowell.
These were beautifully played
with intelligence, style and feeling,
but prhapS even more in her violin
numbers, Marilyn showed a matLi.
ity and power indicating how she
has developed her artistry. She is
able to produce full rich tone and
her melodic passages are particu-
larry lovely.
For her violin numbers Marilyn
played Meditation" tSquier, the
fourth movement from Symphonic
Espagnole" ualo), and four Debus-
sy numbers which are descriptive of
the whole gamut of Debussy COM
positions: 1.-The Sunken Cathedral,
Ministries, "Golliwog's Cakewalk"
Fireworks.
The program concluded with I'm
provisation', an original compost
ton, and lovely one.
The capacity audience of members
and guests was most enthusiastic
over the brilliant work Of the young
artist. for whom highly successful
future in the musical world is pre-
dicted.
The able accomplishments by Dor
othy Armstrong did much to add
to the audiences enjoyment in the
program.

Broken Blossoms: Four broken

Bling Crosby, Billy de Wolfe,
Lynne OYerman and Eddie Foy, Jr.
probably are looking for clutches
and arnica after participating in
as hilarious but also as hazardous
routing as ever reached the screen.
There may be no historic prece-
dent for the burlesquc ballet as
part of a minstrel show but that
didn't deter Crosby and company
for a sequence in Paramount's fill
musical Dixie"
The setting is the New Orleans
opera house, vintage 1859. On the
theater stage sit the Ministries, in
the traditional four-ticred Semi-cir-
Gle, with Raymond Walburn as Mr.
Interlocuter occroying n sort of
throne atop the steps in the mid
Gle.
The minstrel costumes are really
something. SWallottail yellow
coats with gold lapels, buttons and
sunbursts. candy-Striped vests,
striped white and yellow pants, Or
ange socks and ties. And in black
face with curly wool skullcap on,
Crosby can scarcely be distinguish
ed from Overman or Overman from
F'oy.
BECOME BLONDS
On the last line of a Crosby
chorus. they whip out blond wigs
end Spangled ballet skirts, roll up
their pants legs and go into the
ballet.
Crosby was recovering from a
cold which had kept him in bed
two days earlier but was game to
try anything. De Wolfe started off
in fine fettle, performing spectacle
lar backward kicks while the others
held him up, but the stage floor
was too Sticky polished and on the
second take he made a spectacular
tWo-point lancGng, cracking the
back of his head on the bottom
step of the stage set.
No sooner had de Wolfe been
given emergency treatment than
Foy met with an accident. Foy
and de Wolfe formed an inverted
V-arch with two feet, clinging to
one another'S hands in ring
around-a-roSy pose, while Crosby
and Overman piroutted daintily
through an arch. Foy was acct
dentally kicked in vital spot when
ce Wolfe's foot slipped, and retir-
ed in painted silence to the side
lines.
COMES DISASTER
The ballet picked up with de
Wolfe and Foy reclining in swan
like Pavlova poses at the feet of
the steps, while Crosby and Over
man tripped rapidly past them and
struck a pose. Ovcrman whipped

FIRE FIGHTING
 DEMONSTRATION
 SEEN BY TROOPS

A fire fighting demonstration which put into practice the theory as shown in the Coast Guard train ing film which has been widely shown in Juneau, was staged at the Air Base this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
 The demonstration was held un- der the supervision of the Pos t Fire Department at Duck Creek and directed by Chief Specialists Reasebeck and Mcconnell of the U. s. Coast Guard Fire Fighting School at Ft. McHenry, Md. Both Coast Guardsmen are part of a detail under the command of It. Edward B. Metzen, U.S.C.GR.
 The idea of a demonstration was an outgrowth of the enthusiasm shown for this particular subject after the film, "The Chemistry of Fire was shown to the troops at Duck Creek, Tuesday night This afternoon techniques of fighting oil and gasoline fires, as well as wood fires were demonstrated. These techniques included the use of chemicals and fog as extinguishing agents.
 Many Coast Guardsmen from the Captain of the Port Detail as well as large number of soldiers from the Post were present.

 Farmers Strong in South
 The South has long been tabbed as farm minded and, to a certain extent. anti-union although New Deal pro-labor measures received substantial support from southern Congressmen before the revolt against Roosevelt"
 Labor leaders contend, however, that the economic picture in the South has changed a great deal, particularly since the onset of the war industry boom, Southern tex tile, chemical, steel, aluminium, shipbuilding and other factories employ large numbers of workers. Unionists say the vote of these workers could well furnish the mar gin of victory in many a close pri- mary contest for Congressional nomination.
 Some c. I. o. unions are concen- trating this summer on enlisting support among northern Senators for the bill to abolish the poll tax They count on elimination of the poll tax in southern states ito bring to the polls many thousands of new white and Negro voters whose inter ests are the same as our interests. :"
