 Will Endorse TheiIe
 Secretary Theile's tenure does not expire until next November His friends say he i5 undecided about being an applicant for re- appointment As job the office has lost much of it's former at tractiveness. Until two years ago in addition to the Federal salary of $3,500 per year, the Territory paid the encumbent $2000 annual ly. This is now no longer avail able as suit brought by Judge Jam s Wickersham effectively shut off the Territorial fund, the court ruling it was an illegal ex- penditure.
 If MT. Theile wants the position, it probably will be his for the asking. He has made an efficient secretary. He has friends all over the Territory and stro n g enough backing both locally and in Congress to insure his appo.nt- ment and confirmation. He can count on the endorsement of Ma tional Committeeman Latnrop, if his hat is thrown into the arena.
 Organization In Good
 It seems apparent that the Re- publican organization in the Ter ritory occupies a strong position with the powers that be in Wash ington. Since his election as Ma tional Committeeman, Capt. La throp's recommendation in the matters of appointments in Alas ka have been uniformly given recognition. The National Com mittee is leaving such things in his hands-thag much seems cer- tain.
 And this fact is apparently known to applicants for offices. In every instance so far, particular ly in the First Division, those ap- plying have been more anxious to secure the National Committee mans endorsement than that of the Delegate to Congress. Those in the know say this practice will be more marked after Hoover as-

Joy Street Last
Word In Pictures
Of Modern Youth

after Joy Street is released
there will be no more flaming
youth pictures-they won't be nec-
essary. Joy Street. which Is sched-
uled TO open today at the Dittman
thcater, is the climax of al pro-
auctions on this theme"
This was the verdict of n Of
the best known picture executives in
Hollywood following a preview Of
the daring Cannon production for
Fox films. It is a tribute to the
incisive realism Of this young d.
rectorial genius.
Believing that the subject of the
younger generation is Of tremen-
dous Importance. snd realizing that
it had never been honestly and
faithfully presented in pictures,
Cannon deliberately abandoned his
film work and spent several months
visiting various exclusive colonies
to get actual first-hand informa-
ton on conditions prevailing among
the wealthy young people Of TODAY.
On this searching investigation
Cannon based his original story,
which he subsequently directed. Sem
sational and daring in its frank
handling Of facts and in its fear
less accuracy, "Joy Street" never
theless is a revelation Of he mar
ner in which a delicate question may
be treated to avoid injuring the
sensibilities of the most fastidious
spectator.
The story is built around the ca
reer of an unsophiSticated girl
plungcd into the dizzy whirlpool Of
the young generation at play.

TO Eddie Cantor, who las sur

with the announcement that he
WoFld retire next year at SO, it
brings a great and glorious feeling
of relief. At least so he says.
"But don't get me wrong about
this retirement business" he eau
toned. "Im not going to quit in
the exact sense of the word. When
I told the newspapers I vas re-
firing next year 1 didn't mean that I
was through with the stage. /
merely meant that I am not going
to appear in any large stage shows
any more. I want to be able to
take a little vacation now and then
and / couldn't do that if I were
employed in a big stage production,
without depriving a couple of hun
bred people of their livelihood dur
ing the time I am out of the show.
But I'll still be appearing in vaude-
vile and motion picture theaters,
and maybe I'll make a movie or two.
after all, the stage has been 10
much a part of my life that I don't
believe I could ever part with it
entirely"
well, here I am-with the an
nouncement of my retirement out
but will I loaf? Say, I'll be work
ing harder than I ever worked be-
fore!
But. and here's what I'm begin
ming to like about this retirement
business, if I want to take a little
jaunt to Palm Beach just around
the time when people begin sneez-
ing up here in New York. all I'll
have to do is pack up the kids, get
out my straw hat and bathing suit,
tell my wife-and I'm off. THAT'S
what l like about this retiring!
"You ought to ask my wife what
she thinks Of my retiring. When
you have your hands full taking
care Of five growing girls, and a
husband who comes home every eve
ming dog-tired after working all day
in a show, I think it'll really be my
