Dance to Hishlight
 Weekend Events

Don House, Chamber of Com merce president, announces another in the series of Chamber of Com merce Dances tomorrow for the pur- pose of helping raise funds for Wrangell's Fourth of July program.
 With the launching of Ritchie Transportation Companies new riy- er boat, the Judith Ann, sched- uled for Sunday morning at three o'clock, and the visit of a delega- tion of twenty three outboard boats from Petersburg, this dance prom ises to be a gala event for Wran- gell.
 After the dance a large number of the local towns people have planned to witness the launching of the Judith Ann, a Wrangell- built river boat, and of which Cap tain Ritchie and the whole of Wrangell are justly proud. If the present weather prevails 1t should be light enough to take pictures of the launching and for everyone to witness this event.

To provide funds while out of work Christine offers to take care of the summer home of her rich Aunt Helen (Arne Bulkeley).

 When Mrs. Frisbee promises Christine a check for $5,O0O if she would tell the truth for a week, in order to help her with her plan, the fun begins and leads up to an unexpected climax.
 Others in the cast include Lizzie, the housekeeper (Agnes Davis) Cicily sayres. a flight young thing (Bertrice Denny); Anna, a myste- rious young lady with a vacant stare (Emma Ivy); Madame Parm- alee, an overdressed, gushy woman of 40, trying hard to look 30 CWin- nie Nolan); Eileen, a very plain girl of 15 (Bernice McCay); Ma bel, a woman of 40, forceful in speech and manner Dorothy Ney- man); Mrs. Owens, a well-dressed, slightly overbearing woman of 50 Virginia Hay), and Amy, a we'll dressed, well-poised girl of 25 (La- Donna Castle)

Water Plans Giuen
 Council ApproUal

Discussion of Wrangelrs water and sewer system took up the main portion of the City Councils time last night.
 With the completion of the sur Vey by the Erickson Engineering Company of Ketchikan, preliminary plans as submitted by Amer Brick son last night were approved with a few minor changes. Erickson's firm has been surveying the Joe. water and sewer system the past several months.
 The city is preparing an appli- cation to the General Services Ad- ministration, now being handled by the Interior Department, for funds to finance the new water and sew CT system on the same matching basis as the school.
 Although the GSA appropriation this year was trimmed considerable by congress, it is hoped the deplor. able condition of Wrangella water works will be a factor in obtaining immediate approval of the projects

 Mindful that it is always open season on a public official, the GoEernor indicated he thought Gil was over playing his hand. Said ne: MT. Skinner gives me far too much credit.

The Columbia Opera Company
made its contribution to the Ses-
quicentennial celebration by pre-
senting Julian Edwards Dolly
Warden" in the Roosevelt audi
torium last night. To fit the era,
the locale and story were changed
from London in the reign of
George I, to this city and the
Jefferson Administration. 1t was
re-christened Dolly Warden,
U.S.A."
The transfer to the American
scene permitted attractive cos
tuning and colorful setting. 1t
could not, however, better either
the music or the libretto, both of
which seemed never to rise above
the mediocre. Not knowing the
original, it is difficult to judge if
the changes affected the vitality
of the plot in any way, but as it
stood last night, it can go on rec
ord as being an operetta prac-
tically devoid of comedy. 1t was
not the fault of the performers,
for Mary Vagnoni. in the title
role, tried hard to inject some hu-
NOR into her scenes and Kerpert
Propert, as Col. Gayspark, did
what he could in this respect with
the part.
The performance was directed
by Ethyl Manning, the founder
and general director of the organ
ization for many years, who re-

turned especially to take final
charge of the presentation last
night and the repeat performance
tonight. Mrs. Manning now makes
her home in Detroit and the work
was prepared by Robert Fabik,
stage director, and Mimi Di Mag
gio, choral director.
1t measured up to the pre-
vious standards of the company
in the precision of the chorus
singing, the rich costuming and
the attractive scenery, all of which
showed careful thought. 1t was
better than many former presen-
tations in the singers cast in the
principal roles. Heading the cast
was the talented Miss Vagnoni,
whose professional career included
the playing of leads in many op-
erettas in war camps in Europe
and the Pacific. She is natural
actress with rare comedy sense.
1t was used effectively in the soli-
tary comedy bit, THE Cannibal
Maid" She has also an excellent
voice but her chief charm lies in
the vivacity and sparkle she
brings to every minute she is on
the stage.
The two men most concerned
with her escapades, John Wal
ser, in the role of Capt. Richard
Belleville, and Robert Royce as
her guardian, Squire Fairfax, dis
closed exceptionally fine voices.
