PT0Il1 or 94UU
 Well over 300 Juneauites turned out last night to enjoy the biggest and best movie and slide showing ever presented in one evening in this city and the scores attending proved the Alaska Color Variety Show was an outstanding sue cess. Traffic was heavy through out the school corridors as the crowd flowed from room to room and made it's way around the three floors where the various slides and movies were being projected
 Given for the benefit of the P- TIA Scholarship Fund, the Variety Show realized a profit of around S400, according to Chairman Mrs, Trevor Davis. The P-TA expresses sincere gratitude to the eight indiv- iduals who contributed their out standing collections and gave their time and effort toward the enter tainment and all persons who loan- ed their equipment and services so generously to insure the success of the undertaking.
 There were guides in costume to escort the crowd and see to it that all were directed properly to avoid "bcttle-necks" in the corridors, and there were gracious hostesses pre- siding over the punch-bowl and ice worm tables where thirsts were quenched during the .Ltermission while other dainty Misses circulat- ed around with trays of popcorn
 Audience Is Impressed
 Everyone came prepared to see good show and according to the enthusiastic response and well sat isfied comments during the show ings and following the final cur tain, the audience was not only pleased with the pictures but high ly impressed with the grandeur oi the scenic wonders and beauties that are typical of this country.
 It was hard to decide which were the favored shows but safe to say all were tops and of such different scope and variety that compari- sons were difficult. Each room was filled to overflowing throughout the evening and the only regrets ex- pressed were missing out on some of the shows since there was not quite enough time to cover all eight from start to finish.
 Attracting first attention on the ground floor were Henry Harmon movies of wild animal life in AL aska and A. N Eide's slides of the Interior, Arctic and Southeast AL aska. On the second floor E. L Keithahn, Malcolm Creamy and Dr J. O. Rude handled the projectors with Keithahn showing slides de- picting scenes of Southeast Alaska and local shots of Juneau, while Creamy presented pictures on wild life, the Alaska range, and the Pribilof Islands and pr. J. O. Rude ran his movie of trip down the Yukon River

Rude displayed her slides on Wild Flow CTS Of Alaska Third room on this floor housed Trevor Davis movies of aerial and motor boat views of the Prince William Sound and oth- CT parts of the Territory and close up views of Alaska bear.
