CLUB LUNCHEON
 ON SATURDAY
 GREAT SUCCESS
Mother Daughter Affair Attracts Members of
 Two Generations

On Saturday noon 165 mothers and daughters gathered in the Church parlors of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church to at tend the second Mother-Daughter luncheon sponsored by the Juneau Woman's Club, of Juneau. The large attendance and enthusiastic interest shown in the affair proved it to be one of the outstanding events on the social calendar for the year.
 Tables were beautifully decorat- ed in the club colors, green and white with dolls dressed in the styles of mothers day and the mod ern mode creating much interest and merriment at the jolly ocea- sion. Preceding the luncheon, mothers and daughters vied in singing rote songs.
 An interesting program was giy- en jointly by members of both generations with Mrs. Hazel James Ferguson, President of the Wom ans Club, as the principal speaker for the afternoon. She chose as her subject Pioneer Women of Yester- day and Today" contrasting vivid ly the different type of pioneering done by the women of the previous generation and that of the present.
 Other Speakers
 Mrs. J. P. Williams talked of Dress and FurbeIows" and model ed styles of her mothers day and exhibited many unusual pieces of needlework of that period. Mrs. John Mccormick had Recreation" as her theme and gave an enter taining work picture of the hay rides and bicycles built for two, so characteristic of the days preceding motor cars. Opportunities" was the subject on which Mrs. David Wd6SOIGl SpOhts NOAIlP1l HIS bAAS limited scope offered in the past as compared with those of today. She cited many prominent pioneer women of Alaska as illustrations as what it is possible to do.
 Following the short talks on the Mothers Program" music of yes terday's girls, was artistically pre- scented in a violin solo by Mrs. Frank Dufresne, consisting of medley of beautiful melodies in waltz, rhythm with Mrs. Harry Sperling at the piano, and vocal trio, Miss Blanche Turner, Miss Alice Palmer and Mrs. J. c. Staple ton, which sang songs of mothers day accompanied by Miss Lillian Alexander at the piano.
 Girls of Today
 The modern generation was rep resented by several speakers who handled their subjects in an origi- nal and proficient manner. Miss Ruth Geyer, who spoke for youth on the subject of Dress and Fur bellows" gave a clever skit illus trating the simplicity of the pres ent-day mode in comparison to mothers elaborate and impractical

THE
HORRORS OF
BATTLEFIELD
Forgotten Men, at Met
ropolitan, Taken From
Film 4rchires.

No greater C. more effective prop
aganda for peace could be found and
exhibited today than the perturbation
of the horrors of war, as shown on the
Metropolitan screen this week. Taken
from the official films of the several
nations entered in the World War,
Forgotten Men" spares none of the
morbid details of the fight between
man and man.
The actual sequences of the war
stand before your eyes, for the dis
tributer of this film has done very
good job of fitting together the scraps
into a chronological tale of booming
canon, hand-to-hand fighting and the
death-dealing sputter of machine guns.
From the declaration of war by the
former German Kaiser the film carries
one through to the celebrations follow
ing the signing of the armistice. Death
of man and the destruction of home
and city become commonplace half
through the picture.
Some picturiZat ton of all the ma jor
battles in which SO many lost their
lives, the Somme, the Argonne.
Chateau Thierry. the Marne, is pre-
sented not only from the American
side of the lines, but also from the
German. The bursting of shells in the
midst Of advancing armies and in
homes which house women and chill
dren are pictured with horrifying
clarity. In the air fights in which
men did not shoot blanks" as they
do in the Hollywood stories of war.
Then back to the trenches, mud, gas
against which, early in the war, men
were helpless and died without even
chance-long jetting flames of liquid
fire soaring and burning the advancing
troops-more shells from howitzers
from behind the lines, 75's and from
long-range cannon leaving not a tree
nor living thing in their wake.
The fllm deals not only with the
fighting on the French fronts but
with the Italian and Austrian lines in
the Alps. the British and Turks in
the Holy Land and the waging of
warfare on the high seas. Then shots
OF the lulls between fighting, when
time, though never enough time. was
called to bury the dead in shell holes
and shallow graves, anything to get
them out of the way and off the
battlefields.
Forgotten Men" with its hero, the
forgotten man, is a film recommend
ed as being worth seeing, but do not
go under the illusion that you will be
entertained, for you will not, and by
all means do not go unless you can
grit your teeth and bear it.
There is also a comedy or two, a
cartoon and news reel billed, but
they seem more out of place than
amusing after viewing Forgotten
Men" j. N. H.

Phil Hayden entertainment usually
is good entertainment, and Gonna

of the Hayden studios, presented at
the Wardman Park Theater last even
ing, was no exception to the rule. A
capacity audience of parents and
friends demonstrated approval with
applause for practically every number
in list of 43 integral presentations.
Mr.. Hayden was responsible for the
composition of the music, the inven-
ton of the routine, the training OF
the dancers and the staging of the
production, and his name appeared no
less than 46 times in the printed
program. The show was bright and
colorful. smartly mounted and man.
aged and interesting from first to
last. The finale brought the pre-
siding genius on the stage with his
entire family"

entitled to the premier honors of
the evening. Her work was distinctly
notable. especially in the solo, "Valse

AS played by Spencer Tracy, the
now well-sodded fixer of fights,
player of high spade and apostle
of the rolling bones is a likeable
sort of liar, devoted to his wife and
consecrated to the arts of skulldug-
gerry. Beginning with phoney opera
tions at the race tracks, he builds his
lunches into great gambling house
and a fortune, loses his beloved spouse
because he cannot resist the tempta-
tions of a giddy show girl. An en-
viable chance artist, he ends with the
gamblers flag flying above him. Nei-
ther too ingratiating nor accurate,
Now I'll Tell sets forth the bounded
history of a young man who lived by

not continue to get away with it.

actress both on the screen and on the
boards, presents a delightful interlude
in the lead vaudeville episode, while
Larry Rich and his stooges and a few
