greatest publicity men Hollywood
ever had, is back at his desk at
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. Pete draws
a salary that might compare fav-
orably with that of a movie star.
He has been i'll for several
months, but M-G-M thinks so
well of him that they have kept
his job open. Motion picture
property men remove all clocks
and calendars from sets, unless
they are needed in the action

forget to change the hands and
to tear off the pages demanded
by time lapses in the story. {.
Metro GoldWyn-Mayer is dickering

DIME-A-DANCE
ROMANCE AT
KEITH'S

A strange romance of the
dance halls is unfolded on Keith's
screen this week, an unusual
triangle with a happy termina-
ton.
Ten Cents a Dance" is the
story of a girl with her brains
in her feet"
Loathing the embraces of many
men who clasp her in their arms
during the course of an evening,
nerves torn to shreds by the
blaring cacophony of cornets and
saxophones and her feet bruised
by the clumsy steps of her
partners, the "taxi-dancer" re-
fuses to take the easy way out.
ScOrns Riches
One suitor offers her riches, a
life of ease and travel. The
other borrows her last $100.
Which does she marry? The
poor man, of course, because she
has learned to beware of the at
tention of wealthy suitors and
she fancie~ herself in love with
the other. Women do strange
things for love. And this girls
brains were in her feet.
The story may seem implausi-
BILE at times but stranger tales
are on the front pages of your
newspaper every day.
Barrymore Lauded
The picture shows evidence
throughout of the directorial
genius of Lionel Barrymore. Lit,
tie touches here and there lift it
above the usual run of films of
this kind. This and the skillful
acting of Barbara Stanwyck,
who plays the difficult role of
the taxi-dancer with but indif.
ferent support from the cast.
Ricardo Cortez, as the mil,
lionaire suitor, is entirely too
restrained and Monro Owsley, as
the week-chinned husband, shows
but flashes of good acting.
An animated cartoon and a
laughless comedy round out the
program.

Doug Plays Mdgndte
Too Busy for LOUe

Reaching for the Moon," now
playing at the Columbia Theater
is the story of Larry Day, played
by Douglas Fairbanks, a phenomc-
nal young financier, bold young
demi-god of the money market,
who leaves his elder associates
gasping by his audacious finan-
cial coups. He is clean-living,
athletic, and-shy of women.
Lovely girls speak of him in de-
spair, he is too busy for love, and
too shy for romance.

SEWARD AIRPLANE FIELD, AN EXCELLENT ONE

The Gateway must again doff its derby this time to Aviator Vic Ross of Nome, fine looking, splendid chap who, during his recent visit here and who made the first wheel landing on Stewards aviation field pro- nounced the field on par with other Territorial air plane bases.
 We're not crying, but for years Seward has been the butt of dcue and envy from not only neghborng towns but from many within Alaska. The knowledge that Seward has everything, real founda- ton to build upon for future great city, has been constant buoy for hope and faith Stewards magnificent climate has been assailed from every angle and in be- tween other items unworthy of being mentioned here. The latest however, being that aviation conditions and the Seward landing field unsuitable for perna- nent base.
 So against all this commercial propaganda, it is good hear that pioneer Alaskan aviator of the calbre of Vic Ross contradcts and disagrees with other fers of whom only has attempted landing the local field and that skis last winter if memory correctly.
 The Seward field is just large if not larger than the Nome field which has been in constant use by all aviators for years; plan underway up there to enlarge it, however, which also should be done here along the lines as suggested by Pilot Ross.
 Ross is in charge of the Fairbanks base of opera tions for his company the Northern Air Transport owned by Odtiners of the Nome area and probably other scattered points, One plane is stationed at Fair banks and two at None
 Ross visit here with Dr. Rex F. Swartz, has been delightful to both, we'll to Seward residents and in their departure yesterday went the wish of the townsfok that they will come again and often.

CANNING, PRESERVING BERRIES, TIMETABLES
 BY ECONOMIC GLASS

At the demonstration Thursday, Mrs. Lydia Fohn- Hansen, of the Extension Service of the Alaska College, gave a number of valuable suggestions for the canning and preserving of fruits and vegetables. FBlueberries were canned in hot water in the pressure cooker and 1 in the oven. Vegetables were also canned in the pressure cooker. Bulletins containing directions and recipes were distributed.
 The jellies and jams prepared on Tuesday were sampled for flavor and texture. The combination of highbush cranberries with rhu- barb made an excellent jelly, pre- pared with three-fourths cup of sugar to one cup of fruit juice. The blueberry-apple conserve with nuts turned out to be an excellent flavor.
 The products used in the dem onStration were donated by Brown & Hawkins, and a Flamo range was used. The cans, when sealed, were given to those drawing lucky numbers. Mrs. E. Swetmann, Mrs. L. c. Coulter, Mrs. s. Lind, Mrs W. D. Laughlin, and Mrs. P. An derson were the winners
 Additional copies of the can- ming bulletins may be secured by writing to the Extension Service, College, Alaska.
 Mrs. Fohn-Hansen departed to- day for Anchorage.

THE PROPER KIND OF PUBLICITY

The present visitation in Alaska of the Hearst and Fox News soundpcture will reflect to mil lions of people throughout the world what the real AL aska is, and many of those millions will be astounded to learn that Alaska is not land of ice and snow of goos and Eskimo They will learn that the Territorys inhab itants are just as civilized perhaps so than they themselves and will instil adventurous desire at least to North to of the few lands of real op portunity under the Stars and Stripes.
 The management of the Alaska Railroad, and every other agency in the Territory, in extending every aid to these photographers performing marked service to the development of Alaska which many do not realize The proper kind of publicity is what we need and we know of no better way to obtain it than through the med ium of commercial films such the Fox Hearst Pathe and Paramount News reels and others of similar char acter.
 There Is no wondrous country in the world than Alaska and especially during the summer season. and the winters are far more loveer than many Mid dle West States and the East

ALASKA REMAINS A
 FOREIGN COUNTRY, MANY

Do they think Alaska is for eign country when business firms
 in the States write AlaskanS that
 we regret to advise that we are
 unable to fill your order inaSmuch as we do not ship to places out
 side continental United States"
 or do they know what they are talking about? Another such let ter was received in this mail by
 Cline D. Greenstreet. The definition of continental United States would be timely; it
 is known, of course, that Alaska,
 even though divided from the States by an ocean and Canada, nevertheless is still a part and par eel ofthe North American contin-
 ent.
 In this particular case this na- tionally known company must have
 thought Alaska was a foreign country because a five cent stamp was attached thereto instead
 of two cents.
 If so, then-Well what the H. the use of discussing the matter any further?
