A flock of your favorites, all

Holman yarn served as basis
for many of the situations) have
been smartly bundled together
with an extra dash of tuneful
melodies and dance routines to
make it sparkling cinema fare.
Jean Harlow, who has been
absent far too long from the
screen, does her best work to
date as the reckless.with-loye
torch singer who learns, much to
her sorrow, that Broadway celebs
and society Snobs never mix.
William Powell, in his best
Thin Man" manner (and that's
awfuly good, to my way Of
thinking, absolutely wraps up
and steals the picture for his
very own.
Although Franz hot Tone is
ideal as the social laddie, the
role demands that he turn extra
villianous and I'm afraid that
such characterizations tend to
lessen his widely-growing popu-
larity. However, that is a minor
fault to pick with Reckless"
May Robson is positive delight
full as the wise-cracking grandma
and she manages to more than
hold her own with such clowns

ton. both particularly good.
Victor Fleming's direction is
first rate. He is to be praised
for his perfect tempo and the
smart Interviewing of comedy,
drama and mus ical numbers,
building gradually to a smash

Rosalind Russell Henry Ste

George Arliss in
"Cardinal Richelieu"
Rating: Good

George Arliss, who many thought
should have been given the recent
award for his Characterization in
THE House of Rothschild," is
another hit among last weeks
previews. This time he turns to
the red cap and robes of "Cardi-
nal Richelieu."
Historians may argue a bit
with Daryl zanuck, producer OF
this magnificently mounted pro-
duction, about Richelieu's char
acter, but certainly movie fans
will not. They will find dignity
with its magnificence: a story
crammed with drama and enough
authentic facts and background
to be convincing.
This section of Richelieu'S BIZ
ography deals with the removal
of feudal baronieS and the unit
ing of all France under the one
government. It makes an ideal

Mana" vivid polarization of events in the life of the reigning Parisian courtesan who was the heroine of zola's famous story. is the vehicle chosen by Samuel Gold wyn for the American film debut of Anna Sten. It opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Recreating the elegance and frag- rance of another generation, when Paris had just become the pleasure capital of the world, Mana" con- tains the color and atmosphere of an age rich in both. The can-can was the dance with which Paris was shocking the contemporary blue noses, crepe de chine had just been invented and revues had made their first appearance in cafes and musical shows. Closing as the roll of drums calls the last of Nanas levers to the war with Prussia, Mana is filled with events of historical significance.

Woman Championgfor World Peace, June Addams, Passes
 4may Folloming Operation

CHICAGO, Ill, May 22. Jane Addams, internationally known so- cial worker and champion for world peace. died at the Passavant Hos pital last night where she had undergone a major operation
 Jane Addams erected two fort resses of fame: her ideals of humaneness. an intangible strong hold of the spirit, and Hull House, the tangible expression of that ideal.
 The twain were born of a heart filled with a desire to complete the mobilization of the human spirit" by bettering the life of the world, a desire which swept aside all barriers of race and religion.
 In ner search for practical means of forwarding this ambition, Hull House was her laboratory and like that building in Menlo Park from which the genius of Edison sent out devices to conquer darkness by physical light, so Hull-House be- came the source of social discover ies which sent rays of spiritual light into the darkest pits of civili- zation.
 Humanitarian Voice
 The Illinois hamlet of Cedarville, alone. knew of her birth on Sep .ember 6, 1860 Before her life span was much more than half com pleted the world was needing the voice of an humanitarian whose passion for peace and justice be- came known from the tenements of HalSted Street to the tribunal of nations at Geneva.
 Miss Addams was militant against what she called "the stupid atroci- ties of contemporary life, it's arid waste, it's meaningless labor, it's needless suffering and it's political corruption Particularly was her influence felt in the fight for abolition of the scourge of war.
 She founded one movement for world peace and was an active participant in nearly all others. Her study and work in sociology left an imprint in many lands Her New Ideals of Peace" became a textbook cf international friend ships.
 Shared Nobel Prize
 She shared the 1881 Nobel peace prize with Dr. Nicholas Murray Butter, President of Columbia Uni versity.
 Yet her pacifism was not con- fined to affairs between govern ments; it called for tolerance and

 Miss Addams was born oi Quaker parents. John and Sarah Addams. The mother died soon after James birth; her childhood was lonely. John Addams was a banker miller, an Assemblyman and close friend of Abraham Lincoln.
 The social worker suffered all her life from a childhood afflic- sicn, curvature of the spine. This deformity, she related. made her shrink from appearing in public with her father, lest he be chagrin- ed by having it known this ugly duckling' was his.

 Several persons were voted mem tership in the club. Mrs. Wellman Ho.hrook, veteran Juneau play actor, was honored by being chosen to charter membership.

DRAMA GROUP ! NOT TO MEET :

New Organization Decides to Suspend Sessions !
 During Summer

The next meeting of the Juneau Drama Club will be held Tuesday, September 3. s
 This decision to suspend meet ings during the summer, and sev- ,sral other important business de- tails. were considered by the club last night in the High School auditorium.
 Lack Of a proper meeting place and forecast of smaller attend ance during June, July and August caused members to vote almost un- animcusly for the decision to sus- pend sessions. However, b eff oTe President J. F. Mullen declared the club adjourned for the summer, he laid down several important principles concerning the pressnta- ton of plays.
 Production Group Named
 He prefaoed hls remarks by once again reminding members that the sole function of the club is not play acting Then he furnished members with a surprise when he appointed a production committee of three members. These three Grover c. Vim, Mrs. Ernest Par- sons, and Ted Brown will have powers to select the productions to be given and the directors of those productions. G
 Under President Mullen's. new plan, the production committee would limit itself to three major plays a year A new director would be named for each dramatic effort and an attempt would be made tp attract as many new actors to. each production as possible. However, President Mullen suggested that, for those who wished to present more than three plays year, prQr auctions might be held at morS frequent dates in the Grade School auditorium for a nominal ticket price
 Important also last night was the reading of the financial report fer the clubs first dramatic att tempt, Loose Ankles" by Mps, Clarence Ferguson, treasurer.

 Worked fer Peace
 -er advocacy of peace reached it's zenith in 1915 when she called the International Congres of Women at The Hague An ending of the World War was it's goal. In this the congress failed, but out of it grew the Women's Interna- tional League for Peace and Free dom. Miss Addams, who had pre- sided at The Hague, became the first international president of the league.
 Opens Hull-HCuse
 With Ellen Gates Starr, Miss Addams opened House on Sep tember 14, 1889, at Halsted and Polk Streets, in the midst of Chi cago's squalid West Side. An old mansion stood there. It was once the homestead of Charles Hull, a wealthy farmer and landowner. The great Chicago fire of 1871 had crept close to it's brick walls, sweep ing over the nearby pastures.
 Gods hand must have saved the house for us,' Miss Addams once said.
 Immigrants Of two score and more nations, who had come to the capital of the West to seek work and freedom, floundered in the Halsted Street nieghborhood. Only three years before, the Hay market bomb and riot had thrown Chicago into turmoil. Every immi- grant was eyed with suspicion.
 Enticing these people into Hull House was the hardest task for the young settlement workers. The racial tides surged strong, one against the others. But the hatreds were conquered and Hull House to- day fills city block. Six thousand men, women and children crowd into it's activities each week. The

Bill Penn in
Shape as Net
Meet Begins

The Phyllis Wheatley Annual
Twin City Tennis Tournament ad-
vanced to the quarter finals Sun
day, August Is, at Chicago Field.
Threatening early morning weather
kept many of the spectators at
home; but as the day progressed
into a beautiful calm, good crowd
turned out. One of the pleasant
surprises was the appearance of
Bill Penn, 1884 champion, who re-
turned from New York and points
East, Saturday evening. Some of
his adherents feared that he would
be off form due to his lack of prac-
tice, but in his second round vic
tory over the driving DR.. G. Fl. Mo-
berly, he dispelled all such ideas.
After he had defeated Adolph
Thomas, Don Strawder, popular
North High athlete, lost a tough
match to his basketball mate, Stat
ford Lott. The ever confident
Julie Penn swept through Don
Banks and Gordon Parks in a fine
manner. An upset, not particular
ly startling to Minneapolitans,
however, was the victory of the
veteran Wendell Jones over the
coming youth, Eulie More. Jones,
who perhaps is the age of Moree's
father, unknowingly clipped his
way to supremacy. Freddie Stem
mons, seeded number two, easily
defeated Paul Woods and Arthur
Pitman. There will be several
good matches Sunday, September
1, beginning at 600 a. m.
