The Juneau Concert Association. Inc, will present to its members on May le, at 9;30 p. m. at the 20th Century Theatre, the brilliant monologist. Dorothy Crawford Cpic- ture above). This is the third and final concert in the spring series.
 Miss Crawford was born in Portland, Oregon. Her early school ing in San Francisco brought out unusual writing ability and later she went to New York to develop under the tuition of Rubin Gold berg her very marked talent for musical composition. It was when she was engaged to direct the mu- sic for a group in experimental acting that she discovered her dramatic ability She played many roles, ranging from the heaviest of tragedy to the lightest of com edy with equal success. After this her ultimate career began to un- fold and her writing. her music and her acting converged into a unique one-woman entertainment.
 Ten Different Characters
 She played ten widely different characters the night of her debut in San Francisco, and the critics were unanimous in their praise. But the young artist was anything but satisfied and mapped out for herself certain months in which to fill engagements, leaving others free for study, research and writ ing.
 Miss Crawford has until recent ly confined her appearances main- ly to the Pacific Coast, including annual return engagements. How ever, as the result of her first transcontinental tour, she now fills engagements from coast to coast each season and has established herself on the London stage.
 Dorothy Crawford has that abil- ity, given to few, to see life with penetrating eye and then to recreate it so tellingly that the theatre seems to disappear and the audience finds itself completely transported. Voice, movement and gesture color her interpretations SC truly that one never thinks of her as such-and-suc character, but only of the character itself To have an evening filled with a pro- cession of such life-like charact- CTS is a memorable experience.

he received at the conclusion indi-
Gated that the audience fully reacted
to his reading. The demonstration
was as unusual as was his playing.
Always firm rhythmically, the work
was phrased with a subtlety within a
perpetual stream of sound, working
up to a passionate climax to sub
side finally to the classic sobriety
of the fugue.
The magnificent performance Of
Beethoven's sonata, known as Lies
Adieux," was graphic for the ex-
preston of sorrow, melancholy and
joy given in proper measure to each
of the three parts, subtitled Part
ing" Absence" and Return" !"
Among the most beautiful numbers
in Nj. Hambro's hands appeared
Chopin's "Nocturne," unsurpassed
for poetry and variety of emotions
and moods expressed, as well as
the "Scherzo in B Minor" by the
same composer. Debussys "Reflets
dams I'eau' and General Lavine'
were less impressive
The novelties on the program were
Haieff's four pieces subtitled "Valse,"
March," "Nocturne" and Polka, y
given first local performance, and
Bartok's Nights Music and
Chase" Other things from Mr..
Haieff's pen were heard here from
time to time, always notable for
their humor and originality, those
played last night not excepted. In

WYE LIVE IN THE ApCTIC," !" NEW BOOK BY THE HELMERiCKS

At the age of 23. one hour after their marriage in Tucson, Arizona, Connie and Bud Helmericks were on their way to Alaska. This was the fulfillment of a long-standing ambition. In the sixth grade, Con- nie had written explorer" when asked what she wanted to ae when she grew up.
 Their first book, We Live In The Arctic" just off the press. was written after many months of alternate treking and camping in the more accessible parts of Alaska which prepared them for the more extensive and arduous explora- tions upon which they base their book. The route they followed bristles with strange names up the Koyokuk River, into the Alat- no to the Noatak emptying into Kotzebue Sound. The Helmericks' travelled 2500 miles by canoe, air plane, foot and dogsled, armed only with the basic equipment for sur vival-and two cameras. Without denying the excitement of sving in ar Alaska only now revealing its potentials, they found life haz- ardouS and harsh.
 Life Magazine featured the Hell meicks' story and some of their magnificent pictures in the March 24, l947 issue.
