Alaska Nellie (Nellie Neal) Lawing allows Marjorie Rambeau to wear her Gold Nugget necklace at the premiere of "Tugboat Annie Sails Again" on October 18, 1940. Mrs. Lawing, age 66, was a close friend of Miss Rambeau's mother who was one of the first lady doctors in the Yukon territory. Mrs. Lawing had worn her Gold Nugget constantly for 35 years and removed it for the first time to bring good luck and success to the premiere. Alan Hale, Sr., Ronald Reagan, Hedda Hopper and Mayor Harry P. Cain are spotted mingling with the crowd. ALBUM 6.
