HOLLYWOOD, June 15.-A
grand idea for motion picture
comedy is awaiting Harry Rapf's
return to Metro Goldwyn-Mayer to
win the consent of other studio
powers-to-be.
Mr.. Rapf would film a bur-
lesque of Grand Hotel" with
all of the company's comics in
the cast. Jimmy Durante would
be the baron, Charlotte Green
wood the dancer, Polly Moran the
stenographer and Buster Keaton
the unfortunate Kringelein. Bus
ter, by the way was once seriously
considered for this role in the
Goulding picture.
Whatever disposition they make
of it, the Rapf idea is original
and would be a great laugh-pro-
voker. Unfortunately the ques'
ton of production can't he de-
cided for at least five weeks
producer Rapf is sick man. He
is recovering from a nervous
breakdown induced by overwork.
On that very hot day last week,
actress Peggy Shannon had four
times defended her virtue in a
rough and tumble scene with
Stanley Fields, the william OF the
piece.
At the end of the last take,
she addressed the director. Say
you'll have to get this pretty
soon or rewrite the script"
"How's that?" he inquired.
We'll" she said wearily, TN
about two more times IL have
to give in"
What the GOssips Are whispering
You'd never suspect how many
Hollywood stars are going around
armed to the teeth for fear of kid
napers. Even this situation. how
ever, has it's lighter moments.
Last week, Gary Cooper's chin
panzee filched a revolver and
waved it irresponsibly in front of
the Countess de Frasso, who is
the tall screen stars frequent
companion at Hollywood parties
of late. The countess quite
naturally was all goose-flesh at
the sight of the revolver, but man
aged finally to retrieve it without
any harm being done Ann
Farding, they say, has not been
at her Hilltop home for the better
part of a week. RKO doesn't
know where she is, or, if they do,
won't admit it. According to
common report, the blonde star is
registering vigorous objections to
playing in the out-of-door epic
with Richard Dix. L can't ex-
plain it, either, but several Holly
wood actresses are affecting
striped patterns on their finger
l.ails. You should see the elec-
trio trair. Tallulah Bankhead
bought for little Dickie Moore. He
can hardly lift it. Eddie Suther-
land is mourning the death of his
grandmother, Mrs. j. H. Ring. A
distinguished actress herself, the
late Mrs. Ring gave an important
family to the stage-Blanche
Ring, Frances Ring CMrS. Tom
Meighan), and Julia Ring cd
dies mother) e. . Roland Brown,
one of Hollywood'S rebels, looks
very dashing these days in a
white linen suit, red and white tie
with handkerchief to match, and
white shoes. But don't be fooled.
He can still punch.
When you read this, Kay Fran
cis and Kenneth MacKenna will
be headed towards Europe, where
they expect to spend leisurely
three months vacation.

Arriving there. she found a

A MENACE TO ALASKA.

The war in Congress on Alaska roads is a menace to the welfare of all the people of the Territory. The action of the House in refusing to reinstate the budget estimate in the appropriation bill was calamitous The makers of the budget took into account the need for economy in appropriations when they cut the appropriation from $9O0,00o to $650,000. There are as many reasons why the ap- propration should be $9000O0 this year as there were for appropriating that amount last year How ever, the budget was made up with the purpose in mind of cutting all appropriations The Alaska road appropriation reduced porportionally Then the House Committee and cut the figure from $560,000 to S350,000. This blow to the Territory terrific.
 Now the dispatches tell us that Congress threat ems to cut the appropriation out altogether Not only would that interfere with development in Alaska but it would add immensely to unemployment-and that at time when there is no remedy in sight Many Alaskans will actually suffer if this appro- priation is not carried in the bill

It was not only merted recognition of Hawaii's place in commercial system, but of the importance of the Pacific area in national economy and in that of the world at large. Thus, in addition to the delegates from continental United States and Canada, there came to the conference representatives of the lands on the western rim of the Pacific from New Zealand and Australia around to China and Japan. The total foreign trade of these countries is in the neighborhood of $7OOo0OOOOO year. and before the present depression they bought from annually about $800,000,000 worth of goods.

It would be unfortunate thing if the Japanese Army should become dictatorial in that country and control governmental policies It would detract from Japanese influence in international matters and probably not count for stability at home Military control has proved unsatisfactory except when a country is at war where it's position on politics at home and abroad is well understood Even a dictator must be free from military control if he is to dictate successfully The authority at the head the Government must control the army and not be its creature.

CHAPTER IS. GEORGIE'S TRUMP CARD

Good evening, MISS Loyalty, came the cool voice of Garth Av- eney.
 "Oh-it's you is it, you hired assassin?" With an effort Georgie threw diplomacy into her tone. Put me through to my chief, will you, please?"
 You'll have to wait, I'm afraid. His doctor is with him. He had No, he didn't eat too much, he a slight attack after dinner. . saw something in an evening pa per that upset him"
 Georgie leapt at the opportun- | ity.
 Something about me?"
 T gathered so. At any rate, he was removed raving about the imposSibility of replacing you"
 He needn't worry. That report in the Record, wasn't it? is about my cousin, Jenny. She and I have exactly the same name, you see. Will you tell him, pleaSe?"
 There was no answer. She frowned biting her lip.
 Hello"
 Sorry" came Aveney's voice. I'm just trying to get the hang of it al You want me to tell the Old Man that it was your cousin who married Townsend this morning?"
 Don't you believe itq" She hoped her laugh sounded more convincing over the wires than 1t did in this empty room. Why don't you believe it?"
 Again there was so odd pause that she hurried out her trump card.
 If your uncle is as skeptical as you, Jenny had better go and see him herself and assure him it really is true"
 Perhaps she had"
 What are you laughing at?" demanded Georgie.
 At what time will she come?n
 "Oh, tomorrow morning, I should think. He's always at home on Sunday morning, isn't he? Ask him to see her for a few minutes at ten. i. What are you laughing at?"
 "At myself, mostly. Good night.
 Georgie cupped her chin to her hands, drowning intently. She ought to phone the hospital-and Jenny. too-but perhaps it was more important to speak to Gill, the superintendent.
 She swung out of the apartment and down the stairs. Gill was smoking pipe just inside his own room, near the door He sat aStride a chair, his folded arms along it's back, and not for the first time she thought how arrest ing he was in appearance. Had he been taller he would have been strikingly handsome. AS it was, his big rugged head, gray-haired, was poised on shoulders that were too square and too high. He rose as she came in towards him and his numbering movements seemed alien to his deep, shrewd eyes, and strong mouth.
 @Oh, Gill, I wanted to speak to you"
 He moved his chair for her to enter his little office The most imposing thing in it was the tele- phone. Here, Gill received and the imperious messages that sent Georgie flying to Ro-

lot to tell you--a lot has happened There's bad news about Ed. Ant you must come with me to Roches- ter Gate. I've made an appoint ment for ten"
 "Oh, no," protested Jenny's voice quite sharply and distinctly. No at ten. I can't come at ten"
 Georgie nearly gasped.
 But you-'but why not?" she demanded Then, as silence again ensued, she added-"Believe me, l when people make appointments with the Old Man, they keep 'em." T didn't make this one" A sharp stubborn tone-quite very amazing one from docile little Jen- ny.
 "I'll come around said Georgie hurriedly. When I explain about poor old Ed, you'll see that it's essential"
 NO don't come please, Georgie. I'm too tired. IT want to go to bed"
 Then I'll come tomorrow about nine or half-past. When you hear ihow things are" Goodnight" said Jenny.
 Slowly, Georgie turned from the instrument.
 Miss Jenny will see you some time tomorrow, Gill. She's too tired tonight to speak to anyone"
 Gill grlinted. She felt his sfrewd eyes follow her as she went up the stairs.
 Disturbing echoes went with her. -Jenny's mysterious Not at ten' and Garth Aveney's laughter and Gill's sceptical grunt. Georgie couldn't think why any of these people should have been so dif- ficult to handle Jenny on whom she had so confidently relied, the most difficult of all And sud- denly she faced the fact that Jen- ny, in spite of her promise, in spite of Eddie's breakdown-Jenny might refuse to tell that terribly necessary lie.

 Cloak conversation is switching back to a Baker -Ritchie ticket There is one important thing about it. Roosevelt would take Baker in a compromise quicker than any other darkhorse now mentioned
