so Big" now at the Warner-Metropoi-
itan Theater. based upon the novel oy
Edna Ferber. which in 1925 was util-
lied for Colleen Moore, then at the
height of her popularity. In its new
edition Barbara Stanwyck has MISS
Moore's role of Selma Peake, the am
bilious, dreaming girl whose life story
forms the main thread of the plot.
A comparison OF the casts OF the 1928
and 1892 productions throws an inter-

In the new talking version, directed
BY William A. Wellman. George Brent,
one Of Hollywood's recent recruits from
the stage, has role that was highly
important in Miss Ferber's novel. but
it was subordinated in the silent film.
It is that of Roelf. the farmers son
who is inspired by Selma Peake to
dream and fight for fulfillment. and
who eventually wins success as an art
ist in Paris This role has been re-
stored to its original significance in
the story.

 MT. E. McPhee, Anchorage, Alas ka. My dear MT. McPhee: Tt was good of you to write me of your per- sonal experience with Dr. Holder, of Seattle. You may be sure that appreciated the spirit in which it was written, and was glad to hear that you had such personal benefit from his treatments. I, myself, have a daily massage treatment, and find that this and regular swim ming are doing a great deal for me. Within a few weeks expect to go to Warm Springs, Georgia, for the annual trip which is both a rest and physical stimulation. In this connection, am enclosing an ar ticle which it may interest you to read.
 T was also interested to know that you are a Democrat of such long and loyal party service. As YOU know, Alaska was the first of the several conventions to give me their public approval and support. I have always been interested in your country and it's enormous pos abilities, and naturally this action pleased me very deeply.
 T shall make it point to read up about the Alaska Railroad sit uation which you mention.
 with hearty thanks for your let ter and it's friendly message,
 Yours very sincerely,
