COAST GUARD
GLEE Club IN
FINE CONCERT
Ketehikan Singers Enter
tain Last Night at
20th Century

Juneau bond purchasers crowded
the Twentieth Century Theatre last
evening when they were given an
opportunity of hearing the Ketchi-
kan Coast Guard Glee Club whose
performance was especially timely
during this Fourth War Loan Drive.
The twenty-five singers were as
sisted in three numbers during the
program by a womens choral group
from Gastineau Channel. William
Salt of Ketchikan, directed the
glee club and Miss Vivian Nanny,
vocal music instructor for the Ket-
chikan High School, was accompan-
list.
During short intermission, DR..
J. c. Ryan acted as auctioneer for
the purpose of awarding the Ingrid
Bergman picture, personally auto
graphed by the Swedish star during
her visit here three weeks ago. All
bids wer marked down as a bond
purchase and $1,000 was chalked up
during the five minutes of bidding
with Oscar Waterud being awarded
the photograph for his purchase of
$500 in bonds.
"ScrewbalI" Number
without doubt the most popular
number of the evening was the nov
city selection, "Playmates, which
was enacted in costume by four
"screwballsp who had the audience
rolling in the aisles The quartet
was encored and for their second
hit sang THE Three Little Fishes. "
Sharing honors with the four sing
ers was Ken Wilson, who enter
tanned with several cowboy songs
and was called back for two encores.
The entire club opened their pro-
gram with a medley of service songs
and this was followed by the Rang
ers Song" Probably the most out
standing number of the evening was
The Lord Is My Light by NAL
lotte, which was included in this
first group. THE Lords Prayer
and Creations Hymn" concluded
the first part.
Mixed Chorus
The three selections by the mixed
chorus included The Heavens Are
Declaring" Thee God, We Praise"
and Child of the Hills" The latter
selection and one of the most in
spring numbers sung by the entire
chorus, was written by the well
known composer Elmer Uggen, who
is brother of Juneaus Art Uggen,
of the Alaska Music House.
For their third group the Coast
Guardsmen sang Song of the Wan
derlust" and Come to Me in My
Dreams" which was another out
standing number Deep River" the
well known negro spiritual, was in
cluded in this group as was the
Road to Romany."
The closing group included Home
on the Range" Begin the Beguine, y
Kentucky Babe" u Passed by Your
Window and the ever-popular
Stout Hearted Men" The singers

 Dr. Child, who is editing a book for the Infantry Journal, discussed the servicemen's training and occu- pational experiences in relation to future vocational ability and pref erences. Dr. Gleason provided gen- eral data on the educational back grounds and ability of veterans and the types of disabilities with which veterans may return.

to the striking resemblance to the president and partly to the superb handling of the role by MT. Phillips.
 Although the part of Edward H. Davis as the minister was brief tt was extremely well done and lent an air of dignity to the first act. Gene Stettbacher as Abbie Brew ster, one of the sister and Mable Littlehales as Martha Brewster, car- ried the burden of the play by their nonchalance with f1nesSe. The ease and naturalneSS with which Mrs. Stettbacher performed her role could hardly go unnoticed.
 Anthony Rodgers as Mortimer, the only sane member of the Brew ster family, whose role was long and perhaps difficult in so large a group of lunatics, and Blossom Feinn as the minister's daughter were able supporters. The other crackpot of the family, Jonathan, played by George Raymond, who looked like Boris Karloff as he was supposed to, appeared the most vio- lently insane with conviction.
 His partner in crime, Dr. EinStein, played by Rolf Meyedhardt, did marvellous things with his voice and gestures. However, although the part evidently required the doctor to bend over in an almost hori- zontal fashion his grand perform ance might have been more greatly appreciated had he strengthened up slightly so that the audience could get the full value of his acting.
 David Davies as MT. Gibbs, who escaped the charity of the kindly sisters, not moment too soon and Thomas Hogarth as MT. Wither- spoon who didn't, although seen in brief parts, were effective. Officer Brophy, Officer Klein and Lieuten- ant Rooney played by Reginald Hurlburt, James Kaplan and Rich ard Lawlor respectively, made the most of small roles and Jack Suffa as Officer O'Hara, the playwright policeman portrayed the part with realistic skill.
 Members of the Rotary club ap- peared at the close of the play as the thirteen bodies, which up to that time were the prime but un- seen note of horror to the audience. The "corpses" will be supplied this evening by the Kiwanis and Lions club.
 Miriam Hurlburt, stage manager was assisted by Frank Decker and Clarissa Deming and Anthony Rodgers was technical director Jane Deacon, Janet Hines and Mrs. Stettbacher were in charge of prop critics and Raymond Mills were in charge of lighting. In charge of costumes were MT. and Mrs. s. P. Castle. The makeup was done by Mrs. Helen Sherwell and Eleanor Stull.
 Rita Quinn and Miss Deming were in charge of publicity and Alice Akins had charge of the program. Lucille Guilbert, Ellis Akins and Eleanor Guilbert were in the box office and Thomas Dillon was at the door. IN, M,

 The May 26-27 convention will elect IS delegates to the National convention, and another State con- vention will be necessary to decide on the state ticket. This may be held during July or August.
