BASKET BALL-THE GREAT
 AMERICAN GAME
(Ccmmunication)

Sol MetZger, an old athletic coach, has an interesting article in the October Country Gentleman in which he shows that Basket Ball has become the great national game of the country.
 Here are a few random figures which show how popular the game has become: Missouri has at least 1000 players in basketball teams; Iowa has 2O,000; Indiana is a hot bed of the sport; Colorado speaks of it as the universal game.
 The department of commerce tells us that in 1929 over a million dollars worth of basketballs were sold in the United States. It is New York states most popular game.
 Basket ball is not only fine for the body but for the mind as well. It demands intensive energy; it calls for the exercise of the quickest kind of thinking; it teaches ab- sclute self-control, and perfect obedience. It is all this and more, too.
 What should this mean to Wran- gelI? We have a good gymnasium, fine lot of students and a good IA 1 coach. Do the Wrangell people take the interest that they should? Let us have more public games, even if we do not have visiting teams. Patronize them to the limit.
 The man who exclaims T have no interest in school activities. It is lot of kid stuff, is surely growing old.
 But, if he doas take an interest in youths activities. the association with the young keeps him young. The 'kid" returns in something more than money value all that he receives from our support. He keeps us young. We are locking for good games this year.-H. P. c.

Workman Gets World
 Record StOni Sheep

Major James Workman of Not tinghill, Belfast, Northern Ireland, returned to Wrangell Saturday from a 45-day big game hunt in the Cas- siar where he was personally guid-
 d by George Ball.
 This hunt was the majors fifth big game hunt in Canada and AL aska, besides hunts in Africa and other parts of the world, but he says it was the best hunt of his life. Among his trophies of moose, caribou, two mountain goats, two mountain sheep and one brown bear, which he is carrying back to Ireland, he is naturally most enthu- siastic over a pair of Stoni sheep horns with which he has broken the worlds record for that species. The largest horns on record, here tofore, measured 441s inches.
 Major Workman gave all credit flor his successful and enjoyable hunt to his guide. Without hesita- tion, he declared that of all the men with whom he has been out, MT. Ball was the most considerate and the most efficient guide he has ever had. He was able to secure his fine trophies, he said, because of the tireless energy of Ball who would start the day at four o'clock, when he thought anything could be gained by getting up at that time, and that often he would stay out with him until eleven o'clock at night, Ball finding his way back 70 camp, unerringly, in the pitch black of the mountain sides.
 The major left Tuesday evening on the Canadian Pacific liner Prin- cess Louise for Vancouver entrain- ing there for Montreal enroute to Belfast He has arranged to return to Wrangell in the spring to outfit for a brown bear hunt on Admiralty Island. Later on he will go into the Teslin Lake country for another big game hunt.

Grant this morning harvested the first large cueumbers grown in Wrangell, The largest ones measured seven inches in length.

 The Forestry service at Juneau has advised the Delegate that it is 1nadYisable at the present time to project any funds for the construc- ton of the projected bridge across Uastineau Channel, between Juneau and Douglas.

Wodehouse Experience Begins
Search for Opposite Ex-
ample in Hollywood.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


HOLLYWOOD, July 25 (CP.A).-
All burned up by the Sarcasm-espe-
cially from their financial hackers
over the fact that P. G.. Wodehouse was
paid 100000 to do nothing for year,
the motion picture industry is hunting
contrary examples. They haven't yet
found q writer who. at salary of moth
ing year. furnished them with
100000 scenario, but they've found
William Slavens McNutt.
And, says William Slavens McNutt,
this very day: Being successful nov
eliSt. playwright, short story writer or
newspaper reporter does not signify that
a writer will succeed in motion pictures.
Film writing is hard. wearing work,
with many late night at the studio
and few Sundays off.
I've been with the Paramount writ
ing squad going on three years. For
the past two years I've worked at least
half the Sundays. I start at 9 in the
morning and if I get away before g.
that's a red-letter day. I've had one
two-week holiday and three trips to
Catalina since 1 signed my contract.
And my case is not unusual.
The widespread stories of writers
who come to Hollywood and sit out
their contracts without ever being called
in is easily explained. They are people
who won't do in pictures, and the studio
discovers this. It's cheaper to let them
sit 1t out than waste the time bothering
with them.
Why do studios hire writers who
won't do? Why do capable judges of
horseflesh spend thousands of dollars on
animals that never win a race? A
proven winner costs fortune. A good
colt may be developed. It's a gamble.
In the long run. the value of the devel-
Oped winners OlItWeiehs the loss SllS-
tanned on the bad stock that won't
come through. The business Of film
writing Of any other kind. The writers
viting of any other kind. The writer's
who come to Hollywood and play are
worth more to busy studio on the golf
course than in their Offices"

DOLORES COSTELLO IN
 EXTENSIVE WOMEN AND YOUNG DONOVAN'S KID
 AM NEU CARMEN

Dolores Costello comes to the new Garden theater to-day in "Ex- pensive Women," her first star ring vehicle, since her two year domestic retirement from the screen.
 Miss Costello, recognized as one of the most beautiful women in pictures, is even more exquisite than before her motherhood. The added charm of her diction Is evil dence of the intensive study she has given to that branch of her profession-and the role she plays is utterly different from others she has done. She Is cast as an emo- tional, though sophisticated girl of what is called high society. The three men with whom her life becomes complicated are play ed by Warren William, Anthony Bushell and Joe Donahue. Others in the strong cast are H. B. War ner, Allan Lane, Morgan Wallace, Mae Madison, Polly Walters, Adele Watson and William House. Hobart Henley directed.
 Don't fail to see the new Dolores Costello.
 The companion feature is "Young Donovan's Kid" with Richard Dix and Jackie Cooper, immortal stars of "Cimarron" and "Skippy"-gal- lant man ad gallant boy-in a story that has the crowd cheering in the aisles at every show!
 Other pictures are Harold Red" Grange in "The Galloping Ghost and Big Ears" a comedy fea- turette. As an added attraction to- morrow night another country store will be held when 30 packets of choice eatables will be given to patrons by Si Crabtree, accom- panied by his latest gags and witicisms.

The Fox-Poli Palace offers su- per double feature program. with the leading feature Will Rogers in Ambassador Bill"
 win Rogers, theYb best loved and most famous unofficial dipiomat in the world, has made a smashing success of Ambassador Bill" ms latest Fox picture.
 Showing the philosophical cow boy.humorist as ashirt-sleeve am hassador to a tradition-bound Eu- ropean court, 1t is simply made 10 order for his particular brand or wit.
 Seeming to realize this, the fam o,,s f,,ngter has thrown himself into his work with evident entnu- siasfn. with the result that Am hassador Bilp' Is packed full of the most screamingly funny scenes ever drought to the screen. Any one nf d number of them would have been sufficient to make the success of fine ordinary film. This picture marks the latest and highest point in Rogers screen career.
 Sam Taylor, the director outdoes hiynself in his skillful blending or humor and pathos, and Guy Bol- ion. in this story, has added ap- nreciably to his laurels as a writer.
 The co-feature will be Charles Farrel and Madge Evans in Heart
 Charles Farrell is revealed as an actor of front-rank dramatic pow or in "Heartbreak," his latest FOX nicture. This film should definitely eseablish him as one of the most powerful, and most versatile actors that we have.
 Though Farrell is the outstand, ing figure, Madge Evans starred with him in the feminine lead per forms excellently. Hardie Albright Paul Cavanaugh and John Arledge, are splendid. Alfred L.. kerkers direction was unusually fine.

 Filmed in Mexico
 Life on the Mexican border IS viyidly shown, many of the scenes in the picture having been, nlmed on Mexican locales, through cour- tesy of the Lower California gov eminent. The "inside" of the light racket" the Caliente races actually filmed at the Mexican track, the ! great gambling halls of the Amer ican Monte Carlo" and other strik- intimate details give unique in- terest to the picture, most of this having never before been shown on the screen.
