ZIEGFELDTYPE
OF BEAUTY IS
GLORIFIED

The most pretentious parade
of pulchritude ever produced
for the edification of picture
patrons will be seen and heard
at the Metropolitan Theater
this week where Florenz zieg-
fields "Glorifying the Amer
ican Girl" is now playing.
With most of it's spectacle
photographed by the improved
Technicolor process, this film is
one of the biggest eye and ear
entertainments to be- projected
on the screen since talking pic
lures became one of the staples
of life.
Ziegfield himself personally
supervised the production. Mary
Eaton. star of many a Ziegfeld
stage show on Broadway, is
the leading lady. The story
shows how she, as a tank town
nobody. gains success on the
New York stage after many
trials and heart-breaks. There
is romance. comedy and excite
ment in this moving tale of
the great white way. Dan
Healy, himself a famous Broad
way dancer: Kaye Renard, song
and dance girl of great renoWn,
and Olive Shea. recently
selected as Miss Radio of 1929
in the big New York radio
show, are cast in support OF
Miss Eaton.
In a special revue sequences
of the picture three Of the
stage and screens leading per-
formers are seen in individual
performances. They are Eddie
Cantor, now starring in
"Whoopee" IN New York; Helen
Morgan. Of "Show Boat" fame,
and Rudy Vallee. the soft
voiced crooner of radio, record
and talking screen fame.

Guild Lecturer To
Talk On Drama
Topics

Robert Macgunigle, lecturer
for the Theater Guild of New
York, is in Washington to de-
liver addresses before several of
the mems service clubs and the
Women'S organizations upon
topics closely allied to the the
ater, such as the Modern Trend
of the Drama, What is Right
with the Theater. and What
the New School of Dramatists
are striving to accomplish.
Mr.. Macgunigle is a Yale
man, who entered the news
paper field after his graduation,
and became associated with the
drama department of the New
York World. In this work he
got to know intimately the ia
nous folk of the stage. and it
is said that he has many in
teresting anecdotes to relate re-
garding them.
AS the accredited representa-
tive of the Theater Guild,
which today is recognized as
the foremost producer of artistic
plays in America, Mr.. Mac
gunigle IS certain to have many
worth while facts to impart.

$1OO Loan Started
Mary Eaton on
Road to Fame

If it hadn't been for a bor-
rowed 500 bill. Mary Eaton
might not be playing the lead
ing role in "Glorifying the
American Girl" at the Metro
politan Theater.
While Mary and her sister
were playing the leading child
roles in The Bluebird" in the
Poll stock company in Washing
ten, their work attracted SO
much attention that they were
gwen an offer to appear in the
same roles in a big road COM
palIy being assembled in New
York. Their mother borrowed
500 to finance the children's
tip to the metropolis. 1t was
this journey which paveo the
way to May Eaton's deout as
premier danseuse of the Zieg-
fed Follies.
When Paramount decided to
film "Glorifying the American
Girl" Miss Eaton was chosen
as the logical actress to play
the leading role in this lavish
musical spectacle which was
proouced under the personal
supervision of Florenz Ziegfeld.

The first picture was a reve-

the stage and screen-so you

marvellous type of man who
dominates everything within
reach of him. Then came his
second picture. The Love Pa

I am glad that you appreci-

OTIS SKIN N Err
FOR CLEAN
PLAYS

Otis Skinner. distinguished
star, who will appear in Papa
Juan at the National this
week, states that the cleanest
plays have the longest runs.
"A charge brought against the
theater is that it represents
vice. Of course it does. 1t repre-
Sents virture, why not vice?
All people are not paragons of
virture. But for morals Of
such-it is rank absurdity that
we should use them in the thea
ter or any other art.
Nature, pitiless, beautiful,
barbarous, soothing. murderous,
eXalting nature, who takes only
truths and primal truths from
her mistress, observes them.
And yet our art must be moral
for all this. An immoral art
would be horror.
The drama stands recognized
as one of the methods by which
the human mind in all ages has
striven to utter itself. There is
a dramatic element in our COM
mon nature which literature and
art, and more especially the
representations of the stage
meet, minister to and satisfy
a normal demand.
THE rest may curse the stage
all they please. but I won't
curse it. This pesSimism Of act
ing and of plays is as old as the
theater itself and is all rot.
I'm a free agent and not tied
to anyone, yet I say again it is
all rot. There are good plays
and bad plays-there is good
acting and bad acting-there al
ways has been both. But that's
the luck Of the game.
Yet, sort out the plays that
have lived the longest and you
will find every time that they
are the cleanest. Plays which
deal with subjects that we want
to keep out of the family con-
versation, never have much Of
a permanent following.
I'VE have SHE'D at erotic
themes in this country until
lately, it seems as if we had
begun to forget our puritanical
prejudices, But I think the
sexual question-if it is accom-
panied by a spiritual uplift, is
legimate part of the dramatic
proposition, for out of it the
strongest emotions proceed. I
wouldn't want to taboo any
kind of play"

ALICE WHITE
AS "SHEBA"
GIRL

Now Alice White has become
the "Sheba" girl of the screen.
No less an authority than Vina
Delmar, author of Bad Girl"
Kept" and "Sheba" has con-
ferred that title upon her.
The first National Vitaphone
picture, Playing Around"
which is now at the Earle Thea
ter, is a spicy and dramatic,
tuneful and high-kicking version
of Miss Delmar's story, "Sheba."
And the director of the picture
Mervyn Leroy, joins with the
famed writer in thinking that
Alice is the ideal "Sheba" not
only of this story but Of her
type in life.
The 'Sheba' girl says Give
me liberty or I'll take it-and
she usually has to take it," L,e-
Roy observes. She cares moth
ing for the conventions of her
sex, for she is to the old code
of morals what the futurist is
to the old schools of painting.
Il think that the term 'sheba'
will take on a new meaning in
popular slang when Miss
Whites picture plays the thea.

NOME INDUSTRIAL FAIR
 GETS UNDER WAY TODAY

Nome's first annual industrial fair will be held this week begin ming March 27 and ending on the evening of March 29. It will be held under the auspices of the Northwest Fair Association and will be on lines similar to those followed by the Southeastern Alas ka fair at Juneau, and the annual fairs at Anchorage and Fairbanks. All of these are partly financed by funds from the Territory. This is the first year that the Second Di- vision has undertaken such an en- terprise. The sports features of the Nome exposition will be the All Alaska Sweepstakes dog race be- tween Nome and Golovin and re- turn, via White Mountain, a route of 166 miles. Entries are expected from all over Alaska to compete for the cash purses offered. The first prize is $1,000 in cash, second $250, and the third $1O0. A number of reindeer races are also scheduled with prizes ranging from $10 to $60 offered to first place winners, and smaller amounts for place and show. Special encouragement to the reindeer and allied industries is given in a long list of awards posted by the fair association to entries of deer and articles manu- factured from the hides.

DEATH COMES TO PIONEER
 IN LONELY PANAMA CABIN

The body of Charles R. Davison was found recently on his ranch on the Panama River about seven miles from Fairbanks. Indications point to Davison having been dead about ten days. He had apparently be- come i'll during the cold weather, as all the wood in the cabin had been burned and he had even used his cellar door and a neck yoke for fuel. The irons from the yoke were found in the stove. A cooked rifle, with bullet in the chamber lay on the table. The theory has been advanced that the oldtimer, probably in pain and fearful that he would be frozen to death, con- templated ending his own life, but then decided to fight it out, only to die from natural causes before aid reached him. The body was found by Pilot Frank B. Dorbrandt and Fred B. Johnson, Manager Arthur Johnson, of the Alaska Airways, having volunteered to send plane out to Davison's place when friends of the pioneer told him they were worried about him.

Thick Ice on the Tanana

Reports coming from Tanana in dicate that the ice in the Panama river is much thicker than usual this season as a result of the light covering of snow. The ice is very heavy now and growing thicker daily so that there is the promise of spectacular breakup when the spring sun releases sufficient water to start the ice on it's way to the ocean. The thickness of the ice, however, will not have any influ- ence on the time of the breakup it may be earlier or later than usu- al, according to the way the water comes after the spring thaw gets under way.

SHORTAGE OF FUR GENERAL
 IN KUSKOKWIM REGION

There is marked shortage of furs along the upper Kuskokwim river, in regions where the whites and natives formerly made big catches, according to Pilot Matt A. Nieminen, who visited Sleitmut and McGrath several days ago with the New Standard plane of the Alaskan Airways. He talked with a num- Der of trappers and learned from them and others that the trapping had been very much of failure this winter thorughout large sec tion of country.
 Nieminen took MT. and Mrs. Jack Smeaton to Sleimut and then went on to McGrath, where he was held up by weather for several days. He was informed that there is to be some development of quicksilver properties along the Kuskokwim during the coming summer. It is understood that one of the proper ties will be examined by an engi- neer as soon as conditions will per init, and if his report is favorable. there is the promise that real de- velopment will follow.
 There are several quicksilver properties along he Kuskokwim river and some work has been done on all of them, but the operations were rather limited in scope and frequently interrupted because of lack of capital. It is believed if any one of the properties is opened up on large scale, it will have the eff feet of stimulating development of the other prospects, Anchorage Times.

The British cruiser Dauntless, scheduled for a cruise in southern Alaska waters the coming summer, will spend nine days at Juneau, it was announced recently by Gov. George A. Parks, advices to this eff feet having been received by him from L. H. Johnston, acting British vice consul at Skagway The Daunt less is due to sail from Bermuda early in April, coming via the Panama Canal to the Pacific coast, and will cruise in Canadian waters for several weeks before coming to southeastern Alaska ports. The Dauntless, which is understood to be the same class of ship as the Durban, which visited Alaskan ports in 1928, carries a crew of 400 men, and is due to arrive at Juneau on July 29 and will sail for Sitka on August 6.

GAME ANIMALS ABUNDANT
 MC KINLEY PARK REGION

FAIRBANKS-Wh inroads predators may be making among game animals elsewhere in the Ter ritory, their molestations in McKin- ley Park are of a comparatively minor nature, according to Chief Ranger Fritz A. Nyberg. The rang CT, who arrived at Fairbanks on yesterdays train, returned to Park headquarters three days ago after travelling through the Park for six weeks, during which time he had plenty of opportunity to observe game conditions.
 His travels took him from one end of the Park to the other and he saw only five wolves. There were only two kills, both sheep, made by the predators which came to his attention. Signs are many that game is not being bothered. Sheep were observed in the flats along the rivers, while if wolves were numerous they would be in the high hills. Moose signs were plentiful and many caribou were seen in the Kantishna district and adjacent areas in the Park. This is unusual, caribou being sighted but seldom in that district during Jan uary and February. Ranger Nyberg counted 500 of the animals from the Kantishna ranger station.
 "The Park is Paradise for game", he said. "There is very lit tie snow and feed is abundant. Snow has been blown entirely off many of the slopes and passes. Ptarmigan are apparently coming back. Many more have been seen this winter than last. News Miner.

Radio Set Shipped to Nome

A new radio transmitter has been shipped to the Signal Corps station at Fairbanks to be sent to Nome by the first airpIane going there. The transmitter will replace the one destroyed when the Nome station burned on Christmas Day and will enable that station to establish di- rect contact with Fairbanks again. Since the fire, messages have been relayed through Nulato.

ALASKA B. R. MANAGER MADE HONORARY MEMBER
 PIONEERS OF ALASKA

ANCHORAGE Convinced that Col. Otto F. Ohlson is a pioneer in spirit and that the pioneering proj- ects which he has inaugurated as general manager of the Alaska rail- road, for the development of Alas ka, the Pioneers Of Anchorage have conferred the degree of honorary membership on the popular rail ex- ecutivs. When Col. ohlson is for mally enrolled he will have the dis tinction of being the only honorary member affiliated with the local ig- 100 and one of the few in the terri sory.

sELDOvIA HUNTING
 FOR DOG POIsoNER

Owners of dogs in Seldovia are up in arms over the persistent poison ing of canines which has been in progress during the past several years-so persistent that there are very few dogs left in the commun- ity. One of the residents, long un- der suspicion, died some time ago, and it was generally believed the poisoning would cease. But after a little there was evidence that the poisoner was in action again and in spite of precautions taken to safeguard pets, they failed to es- cape the mysterious prowler. One of the recent victims was police dog highly prized by it's owner.
 The theory has been advanced that dead fish on the beach or cya- hide, which is used for preserving the piling, may have contributed to the casualties. In some cases at least, there is said to have been un- mistakable evidence of the use of strychnine, giving support to the general suspicion that a poisoner has been responsible for all of the dog deaths.

After floating year and half from the center of the Pacific, a message in a bottle was picked up recently at Kodiak by Reed Malu- tin, a 19-year-old native, on the beach at Chinuak Cape The mes sage was from Rissho University, at Osaki, Japan. The bottle was in a water-tight box a foot square. It was dropped in the Pacific, the message said, on June 15, 1926, in commemoration of the twenty-fifth anniversary and founding of the university. The box was one of 25 dropped from a steamer at the same time in an effort to get information on the flow of ocean currents, Complete data are being returned to the university.

MT. and Mrs. O'Rourke of Fair banks and H. A.

Hummel is a trader of the lower Kuskokwim dis trict and was taken to Fairbanks recently on charge of violating the dry law, but when the case went to trial there was not enough evidence of guilt to get a convic
 tion. It was claimed by Hummel that he was the victim of a conspir- acy to wreck his trading business.
