Mae West Plays
 In Drama Early
 Days of Bowery

May West, noted Broadway actress and writer, who made her film de- but in character role in Night After Night" is starred in her second movie, She Done Him Wrong which she herself wrote, comes to the Dream Theatre Tuesday night. May 21st. Cary Grant, Noah Berry, Gill bert Roland, David Landau and Ow- en Moore head the large cast which supports her,
 AS spectacular as she is herself, is the character enacted by Miss West in the picture-a singer in a Bowery saloon who exchanges her favors for diamonds, and ends her favors when the flow of diamonds ends. Her af- fairs with various BoWery charac- ters-saloon keepers, gangsters, poll ticians and others-keep her well supplied with gems.
 In lusty, hearty fashion, the story swings along, ultimately bringing her in contact with the head of a neighboring mission, who turns out to be as susceptible to her charms as any of the natives of the district. A startling, dramatic climax follows

Murray Hall Visits
 Valdez And Talks
 On Landing Fields
Tells of Size Fields Should Be To Best Serve Fliers-Like Highways
 Airways Should Go Some Place

Murray Hall, aeronautical inspec- tor, based at Anchorage who was in Valdez recently for several days had some interesting things to say on av- iation.
 Mr. Hall is intensely airminded and has furthered air fields at every town he has visited. He has made survey for nearly 200 fields and stat es that in this survey he advocated fields of not less than 5000 by 500 feet With this size field, he said the larger and faster planes can land and take off safely and lighter plan- es with heavy loads can get much longer run before taking the air. He was much pleased with the local air. port, but believed that some minor work should be done to place it in class one division
 MT. Hall said in his remarks here that he believed airways like high way should be placed to best serve communities and districts, and that should his surveys be approved a system of several uaathar c+at;onc would be installed to give out weather conditions all over Alaska. He had heard nothing definite in re- gard to his reports but expected ac- tion in the near future-Valdez Min CT

Nome Brass Band Dance Attended
 By Big Crowd

The Nome Brass Band Dance held Saturday at the Nevada Hall was probably the largest attended dan ce of the winter season. The hall was packed with ladies and gentle men, come to hear the first formal program of the Nome Band.
 The band played one or two sell ections at a dance some time ago, but Saturday was the first time they played a dance program.
 Due to the fire which destroyed most of the band music, they were forced to use rather old time music However, the majority of the older people enjoyed dancing to it more than did the younger folks for whom the dances were out of date.
 Included in the band are C. C. Tan ner Director; Alvin Bahlke, Alvin Polet and L E. Rynning, Comets; Russell Maynard and Stuart Stan groom B-hat Clarinets; Bud Bell and Richard Lee, E-fat Saxophones, Ral ph Kitzmiller, E-fat Melophone horn; Ralph Kravachuk E-hat horn; Bernard Reagen Trombone; Harry Phillips Baritone horn; C. F. Yen ney B-fat Bass horn; J s. Stangroom Snare Drum Frank Hart Bass Drum and Arthur Eide Cymbals.
 The Hill Billies orchestra played for a while during an intermiSsion, furnishing dance music for the large crowd.
 The total amount of the proceeds taken in has not yet been ascertain ed but it is believed to be well over hundred dollars.

 All the color of the BoWery has been compressed into the picture it's strange inhabitants, it's gaudy re- sorts, it's gusty pleasures. Miss West sings threc songs in her best BoWery manner during the course of the film.
