HOLLYWOOD, Gal, March 29.- The separation of Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks, jr., wasn't t much of a surprise to Hollywood.
 AS for the reasons for and the way chosen for announcing it, this film gossip center finds in them another manif S a tion of what might be called the Ann Harding manner of giving out such informa- ton.
 Thus it was not entirely unpre- pared for the respective statements which Joan and Doug, jr., issued, declaring the separation the only means of preserving happiness.
 Young Fairbanks, while these do- mestic difficulties have been mak- ing headway, has been co-starring with Leslie Howard in Fellow Prisoners" a picture which, by the way, gives Phillip Faversham, son of the stages William, an initiation into the films.

STAGE PLAY IS SHOWN AS FINE
 TALKING PICTURE
Capitol Will Present A Bill of Divorcement' with
 Barrymore Tomorrow

An impressive cast and an im- pressive play forecast grand screen entertainment in "A Bill of Di- vorcement," the fe eature picture which comes; to the Capitol theatre tomorrow night.
 John Barrymore, Billie Burke, Katherine Hepburn and David Manners each of whom is famous as a stage star, enact this dramatic story from the pen of Clemence Dane.
 "A Bill of Divorcement' is the stage play which gave Katherine Cornell her first big role and the consequent fame it brought her. Katherine Hepburn, young, beauti- full, stage star, but new to the screen, plays the Cornell role in a manner that is said to equal the stage presentation. In First Talkie Billie Burke, famous as musi- cal comedy and stage star, but who has practically deserted the stage during the last few years to be Mrs. Florenz ziegfeld, appears in her first talking picture in "A Bill of Divorcement.v Her role is that of Barrymores wife, who divorces him.. is about to marry another, when she is faced with the ques- ton of whether one can really love twice.
 Barrymore was stare ed in the first great sound picture made, and his fame as a talking picture star has increased with every picture he has made.
 "A Bill of Divorcement" should rank high among pictures shown in Juneau this season.
