only comparative and does not signify. The
tinieSt work of art may have such merit as
to attain greatness. As some things are time
less, so others are without significance of size
big or little according to merit. So it is here,
and as one moves from case to examin-
ing the exhibits this thought becomes domi-
nant.
Among the miniature paintings the por-
traits by Eva Springer, of which there are
a number, are outstanding Miss Springer has
painted miniatures for years, and al
though her work has from the first been
admired, 1t has steadily gained in compe-
tence. There is breadth and at the same time
flneness in almost all she shows this year
Special mention may be made of her por-
traits OF an italian girl, very colorful of Sis

say, of Velasquez or of Van Dyck-a little
girl in court costume of their day. Miss Bur-
dette also contributes miniature landscape

{ DICKENS CYCLE
 REACHES SCREEN
Talkie Debuts Are Made by Two Notable Stage
 Stars in Production
By RoBBIN cooNs

HOLLY WOOD, Cal, Nov B. First of the new Charles Dickens Cycle" to reach the screen is Great Expectations, and it brings with it the notable talkie debuts of two notable stage stars, Henry Hull and Florence Reed.
 It also brings-"right out of the book" assemblage of Dicken- sian characters engaged in typi- cally complicated Dickensian plot, with Phillips Holmes, Alan Hale, Francis L. Sullivan, Walter Armi- tage and George Breakston, the lad of No Greater Glory" etching anew some well-remembered DOT traits, and one of the newer screen charmers, Jane Wyatt, registering effectively.
 E This story of the little common boy who became young man of "Great Expectations through the generosity of an unknown benefac- tor, is directed by Stuart Walker. { True To Dickens S Henry Hull, a young character actor noted on Broadway recently for Tobacco Road" is the star as Magwitch, the old convict who remembers a kindness done him by the boy hero, Pip.
 Florence Reed, the stage star, portrays the eccentric Miss Hav- isham, deserted on her wedding day and living in darkness ever after. George Breakston and Anne Howard play Pip and Estella as children, and Phillips Holmes and Jane Wyatt take the roles of adults. Alan Hale offers a kindly picture of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith.
 These lives and many others are interwoven in events and coinci- dences almost to the point of ex- cessive plo tt in ss, necessitating some narration to tie the ends to- gether-but this also is true to Dickens.
 In contrast to the sentiment and quaintness of the Dickens tale is The Gay Divorcee," smartly mod ern and musical, co-starring Fred Astaire of the restless feet and Ginger Rogers, with the omnipres- ent Edward Everett Horton teamed with Alice Brady for the sake of further comedy. ts
 A Dancing Star
 The screen has never had a danc- ing star, and that makes Astaire first in the field "The Gay Di- vorcee," tale about girl (Gin- ger Rogers) who wants to get divorce and in the process falls in love with professional dancer (Astaire), reveals the stage star as la wizard of taps and rhythm, with a likeable grin and an unselfcon- 'scious lack of acting finesse which lis in itself ingratiating.
 The flash" number - billed as successor to the "carioca" of Ely ing Down to Rio"--is "The Conti- mental" but many give this sec- ond place to the pictures more graceful and lifting Might and Day, Day and Night" danced by Astaire and Miss Rogers without the background of a chorus.

DELIGHTFUL AND
 TRUE TO LIFE. IS UPTOWN FILM
Elmer and Elsie Is Anus ing and Wholesome Com
 edy of Everyday Folks

Frances Fuller, petite and charm ing brunette actress, who scored such a dramatic success in Para mounts "One Sunday Afternoon" with Gary Cooper, is featured in her second picture role in Para mounts Elmer and Elsie" also featuring George Bancroft, Roscoe Karns and George Barbier, now playing at the Uptown Theatre.
 Adapted from the play Ladies First" by George s Kaufman and Marc Connolly, Elmer and Elsie" is down-to-earth drama of a typical, earnest American couple, Bancroft and Miss Fuller, who play the roles of good natured, amiable truck driver and his plucky intelligent little wife.
 Changed By Marriage
 At the opening of the picture, Bancroft is presented as happy but unambitious worker. whose chief concern is good time, and whose chief worry is making his wages last until the next pay day rolls around.
 When Miss Fuller comes into his life all that is changed. Soon his rowdy bachelor quarters are con- verted into charming little home with cretonne and chintz covered furniture, and he is earnestly studying to get ahead.
 He has acquired, however. from his boss, the belief that 'shis is a mans world" and that women have no business meddling in their mems careers.
 The story is devoted 10 showing how his wife finally manages to make him a successful business man, while he persists in his un- disturbed faith in himself as a self-made success, bringing the pie ture to happy and entertaining close.

MUSIC, GIRLS AND COMEDY
 AT COLISEUM
Sitting Pretty" Is New Presentation with Fun,
 Melody and Loveliness
Real comedy-real music.

Real comedy-rea1 music.
 That is the exceptional lure of fered by the Coliseum Theatre to- night, where Paramount's spectacu- lar musical film, Sitting Pretty" is playing.
 From the opening smash to the final crash, the picture is jammed with comedy, music and beauti- ful girls. You see the inside of the song writing business and find out how Hollywood makes it's musical films in many intimate scenes behind the screen.
 The locale is Hollywood, and the characters are songwriters, stars, producers and others.
 It's like this: Jack Oakie, Jack Haley and Ginger Rogers arrive in Hollywood. The boys want to be songwriters, and Ginger wants to crash pictures. In the maddest me- lee ever conceived by a Hollywood scenario writer, the boys do get a chance when Thelma Todd, a star, hires them. Ginger goes to work, too. She does a fan dance surrounded by chorus so large it can't be counted.
 Radio stars such as the Pickens Sisters, Arthur Jarrett and Vir- ginia Sale do the big song hits that were written for this picture Many Moons Ago" Did You Ever See Dream Walking" You re Such a Comfort to Me-" and Good Morning Glory"
 This sensational musical film was produced by Charles R. Rog- CTS and directed by Harry Joe Brown. The amazing musical rou- tines were the work of Larry Ce- ballos.
 So don't miss this. It stops all other musical films in grandeur, beauty and color-not to mention the comedy of the type that keeps the audience in guffaws contin- uously.

By w. N. PAXTON

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-A wistful, almost childlike person, who writes of simple and tender trag- edy = this is Josephine Johnson, whose new novel, Now in Novem- ber," has moved staid critics.
 Miss Johnson, who lives with her mother and sisters in a suburban stone house which might be old but isn't, began writing verse at the age of 16. A magazine pub lished some.
 She has been writing ever since her work including two unpub- lished books, short stories and verse. The publishers, she explains were cold" to her previous books, written for children.
 Likes to Paint, Too
 Short stories have been printed in Scribners and the Atlantic Monthly. Her ambition is to write and illustrate successful book for children.
 There are many contrasts III this girl of 24, who lives on a hilltop in the sun and writes of lives below her horizon.
 She paints, too, and some of her water colors were exhibited last season at the St. Louis Artists Guild.
 Paintings the more fun" she explains. Writing is hard work although there's the pleasure of something created in either, once you've begun"
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-11-05
Didn't Want a Degree


 Miss Johnson's education has been liberal and undictated. After graduating from high school she attended a girls college, spent a year at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, part of Washington Uni versity, and followed this with four years at the university proper.
 She never obtained college de- gree. "I'd not need degree ex- cept to teach, and I did not want to teach" she explains.
 Missouri Scene Depicted
 She has a favorite riding horse swims and wanders about the coun- tryside.
 St. Louisans will recognize much in Now in November Mis- souri countryside and it's blustery clouds empty of rain, it's mort gages and it's milk strike"
 Likes Everything"
 Aspects of Missouri farm life appearing in the novel, were glean- ed from close observation about her home and in visit to the Boone County, Mo, home of relative. The authoress confesses she is not sure how she acquired the es- sential tragedy which fills the new novel. She hasn't read philosophy T like everything" she said from Katherine Mansfield to Sim clair Lewis"
 Isn't it true that anywhere when you dig deep enough, you find tragedy?" she asked.
