TRAVELLER BOOSTS FOR
 ALL ALASKA

"The skies may seem pretty murky Tn Juneau during these snowy days, and things may seem dead right now but the future looks bright-not only ftr Juneau but for all Alaska"
 H. L. Morris, travelling man for "Schilings Best," in the southeastern part of the Territory, who made this statement, and who is wiling to back it up with facts, to prove his opinion is founded on something besides per- sonal optimism, speaks on as follows:
 "The popularity of Alaska as land of oportunity for the investor, for the young man of enterprise, and for the tourist is rising rapidly. Last summer we had by far the best tour st season in the history of the Ter rit.ry. And every tourist returns to his home state an enthusiastic adver- tiscr of \ aska

 "In every town in southeastern AL asha that visited last summer, there was decided faith in the future, peo- pie were holding on to their property and preparing for the great period of development that is bound to occur in a territory possessing our natural re- sour. ,.
 "In preparation for the rush ex- pected next spring and summer, the Grand Trunk Pacific line will again lual it's steamers to Alaska ports, in order to reap the benefits of the in- creased migration of workers, busi- ness men, and tourists to this coun- try.
 Newspapers all over the states are taking up the work, and informing the public of the possibilities of the "last frontier" News of pulp mill develop ments, appearing in the big dailies of the east are drawing the attention of capital and the American public is slowly beginning to realize that in- stead of land of ice, and rocks and snow, our territory is a temperate country, warmed by the Japan current and in most places as inhabitable as Gods Country. - Ax@

verdict will be until it has finally made up
it's mind
Spanish Love- another Hopwood-Rin
hart collaboration, has caused them the
strain of looking after about $500 more week
for twenty-three weeks, or total load of
$4,000 on their minds This money has been
extracted from playgoers through the
novelty of having the piece skirmish about
among the audience as we'll as the stage,
through the exotic Spanish setting, but, most
of ALL through love story that won't down.
Love stories are always good for the play
wright's bank account. Bayard Veiller said
so, and he has his reasons. He declared to
theatrical acquaintance once that any play
holding vital human emotions-whether Of
romantic love. hate mother love or the like
started life with silver spoon in it's mouth.
But in Ladies' Night which he manipu-
lated with Wilson Collision Hopwood has
departed somewhat from this idea, for the
farce makes it's appeal largely on what
happens to a shy man when he stumbles
accidentally into a Turkish bath while ladies
are radiating beauty there. To the weekly
tune Of about $500 per author it has rolled
in about $4,000 for twenty-three weeks by
arousing much the same interest as that
dream many persons have of being in a
crowded room, enveloped mostly in embar-
rassment.. Altogether the total of Hopwood's
winnings since the first of his current sue

garnished with pretty girls, her lines must
be fittingly tackled onto Burnside's scenic
situations. BY their success in working on
this basis these collaborators, at a joint
royalty of about 15 per cent. have already
made a place in their homes for $1,000
weekly during the fifteen weeks so far past.
Guy Bolton, another high priced librettist,
has a finger in the big pie which is being
made by Sally" one of the leaders in the
ultra smart set of musical comedy This
production by it's unprecedented success-it
mounted to $4,000 on its fourth week-is
making Bolton around $1,000 heavier weekly.
Aside from the lavish mounting by F. Zieg-
field, Jr. and the brilliant cast what makes
the ore in this gold mine so workable is a
story that threads itself through the bizarre
setting of Greenwich Village with Gin
derela" motif-a theme that would fail of
appeal only in Utopia where no one could
be more than dead level. sally" is really
a strong argument against Sovietism.

Freudian, one might say that he's success
full as an embodied suppressed desire.
Despite the hardship of his early barn
storning struggles, Bacon might never have
attained such a wealth Of acute observation
of human foibles if he hadn't. as he ex-
presses it, spent so many years doing
reptile work in the tall grass country" On
the other hand. it needed the experience Of
Smith to sharpen up the piece, insuring
snort speeches and guarding against those
long pauses which many actors love so that
they can let their personalities ooze across
the footlights. In the period of constant
polishing devoted to 1t "Lightnin" Is some-
thing of record breaker also. for prior to
the opening here six mon as were spent in
currycombing 1t.
Big returns have come likewise from
"Irene," the musical comedy "Lightnin',"
which promises to run into its second child
hood at the Vanderbilt Theatre. In the sixty,
weeks of its run this production, together
with it's road and foreign companies is said
to have turned in to its producers profit of
$1,000.000, of which James Montgomery
author of the book has had to look after
something like 100000. This is all the
more unusual, because musical comedy
librettists rarely get more than 3 per cent.
OF the proceeds, having to divide their royal
ties with the composer for the privilege Of
slipping in jokes between the dances. One
of the highest paid librettists is probably
Anne Caldwell who Joined with r. H. Burn

corrections. Mrs Rinehart has about $4,000
more to buy furs with.
No mention Of royalties would be complete,
of course, without detailing with bated
breath those accruing from "Lightnin," still
running at the Gaiety Theatre after all these
years. Aside from any sharing interest the
co-authors have in this record breaking prop
erty. Frank Bacon, the star, and Winchell
Smith, who collaborated In this just as he
did In such other long run successes as
Turn to the Right" ''The Boomerang" and
THE Fortune Hunter" have each in the 122
weeks of the engagement appropriated
legitimately-w over 100000 Of the pub
lies money. In this connection it is interest
ing to note that Bacon himself said recently
that before it was produced only the advice
Of his wife kept him from selling this play
outright to a motion picture company for
$500. A short time ago an offer for the film
rights of the comedy totaling $350,000 was
turned down in an offhand manner.
