In 463

Yesterday. Gladys Belmont was
one Of the thousand unknown
girls in the ranks Of motion pic.

wood envies.
Ending a search of nationwide
proportion In which 463 candi-
dates were camera-tested. Miss

Dix Spent One Month
Perfecting His Makeup

Previous records Of length of
time necessary to don q theatrical
makeup were outdistanced by
Richard Dix, who worked on one
for more than month in prep
aration for his part in 'tRedslin, "
the picture which the Earle Thea
ter is now presenting.
In "Redskin" Dix plays the role
Of an Indian youth, thoroughly
modern in everything. Dix, after
u month at his beach home. had
a coat OF tan that eliminated
the necessity Of artificial bronz.
Ing. When "Redskin" went into
production, under the direction
OF Victor Schertzinger, Dix was
able to forget grease paint en-
tirely.

MARY AST0R'S
VIEWS ON
COSTUMES

Versatility Is one Of the most
important attributes Of screen
player" says Mary Astor, whose
latest Fox Films vehicle, New
Years Eve" comes to the Fox
Theater today.
"A character player, of course,
IL limited to portraying a certain
type of role" continues Miss As
tor, "but others may be called
upon to give all conceivable kinds
OF impersonations, and inability
to assume a part convincingly is
a. serious handicap. A costume
alone will not transform an actor
into an Arab or Spaniard; the
people Of every country have their
national characteristics. such as
their manner of walking. the pos
ture of the body, and so on, which
are individual and unmistakable.
Moreover. these characteristics
are greatly modified by the occu-
patton and habits of the particu.
lar person one is impersonating.

PETERSBURG TO COME HERE FOR
 HOOP TOURNEY
Hilltoppers and Petersburg Meet Next Week for
 High School Title

Arrangements were concluded today between Juneau and Pe- tersburg school authorities that brings the latter's high school hoopers here next week for a three game series. On this hangs the championship in the Southeastern Alaska High School Conference.
 The local school has posted a $250 guarantee for the series in order to bring Petersburg here. All games will be played in the new High School gymnasium. Games have been set tentatively for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
 The local team is holdover cham pion from 1928 It won the title in a series against Petersburg played on a Wrangell floor. With virtually the same team as it en- tered last ason, Petersburg boasts of an unusually strong com bination. It has defeated every team it has met this year
 It wamped Ketchikan High School in the series that gave it the right to meet the Hilltoppers for the title. In the first game at Petersburg, it downed the south erners to the tune of 13 to 9, and in the next game ran away on the long end of a 35 to 12 score. The two teams next met on the Ket- chikan High School floor and Petersburg again won, 24 to g.
 Coach Waid's team. which lost some of it's 1928 members by grad nation last Spring, has been play ing spotted ball all season. At times, it puts up a brand of play that should be good enough to win in any average high school circuit. There are other times when it seems to lose it's vim and bogs down in teamwork and individual spirit. Playing the ball it is cap able of doing, the series should be a toss-up, but if it is off-color, Petersburg has the edge, as it plays a consistent game all the time.
 Waid has eight men availabls for duty, all in good condition. For forwards he has the Orme broth CTS, Nelson and Jackson; Berg gron and Jensen for center duty; Brandt and Sturrock, guards. When

SUNDAY SHOOT;
 BIG D0|NCS ON

The big shoot is on tomorrow. The Juneau Gun Club members and other fans will gather at the traps and sheet the final score for two prizes that have as yet not been made known.
 The prize event started two weeks ago and was to conclude last Sunday, but shooters who did not take part in the first match, were given tomorrow to make their second score, which is needed to win. The prizes go to the high score of the two shoots.
 Llano Morris has fallen down somewhat in his attempt for the perfect 98 per cent score that he is trying to hang up before July. About four near perfect scores are already to his credit, but the near perfect means that he must make several perfects before he again is in the running for the new suit and other awards that wagering friends have put ID. The score he shoots tomorrow will be eagerly awaited by the fans.
 With each weekend event, more interest is being shown by the Juneau shot gun artists in the do ings of the club. Tommorrow a new novelty is to be introduced. It will be something that will en- act even more pep and friendly rivalry. It will also give the spectators a chance to enter into the spirit of the shoots, and the fun too.

BERLIN, April 26, (P- T h e ReichSbank raised the d coun t rate from 6.5 to 7.5 per cent This action was delayed as long as pos sible in order not to hamper in dustry and was believed to have been taken by the directors at the request of Dawes. The plan to transfer the committee to Paris is being considered to relieve the sit uation.
 Heavy gold and currency exports continued with heavy domestic de- mands which is depicting the gold reserve. Paris dispatches charged Dr. Schacht, head of the German delegation at the reparationS meeting and director of the bank, with deliberately trying to torpedo the Dawes plan contending it to be impossible for Germany to meet the payments in the transfer clause plan which provides that Germany may even be released from payment of part or all an nuities until the situation is re- medied or if credit is threatened.
 The action of the Reichsbank is regarded as sign of failure on the part of the experts to reach a reparation agreement.
