MARION DAVIES, GARY COOPER IN
 : CAPITOL MOVIE
Brilliant Star Seen in New Rom antic Film. in
 Operator l3

Romance has served as the key note of every motion picture that has starred Marion Davies, whose newest Metro-Goldwyn-Maye Cos mopolitan picture. Operator l3' opens tonight at the Capitol The ater.
 No matter in what country the plot of the story was laid or in what period of history the romance took place, always there has been a wholesome love story interwov- en into the picture production and always Miss Davies has had the most romantic lovers of the screen playing opposite her.
 Johnny Mack Brown, famous as a football star, was unknown as an actor when Miss Davies pre- prepared to film The Fair Co., Ed" but when the picture was re- leased he became a popular screen idol overnight
 NILS ASther was stranger in Hollywood when Miss Davies se- lected him for Her Cardboard Lover" He became a romantic sen sation and still regards his role with Miss Davies as his finest per- formance.
 Lawrence Gray had played leads with a number of stars but not until Miss Davies chose him for her leading man in Marianne" did he rise to greater heights in pictures.
 Clark Gable was just becoming recognized as a piature player when he was cast with Miss Day. ies in Polly of the Circus" From then on he rapidly ascended to stardom.
 The same was true with Robert Montgomery in Blonde of the Follies' and it was none other than Bing Crosby who crooned love tunes to Miss Davies in Go ing Hollywood"
 And now comes Operator 13' with Miss Davies playing the role Of a Union spy, with Gary Cooper as her co-star.

BUNNELL TELLS
 CHAMBER WORK
 AID TO STUDENT
Chance for Job Appreciat- ed at Alaska College,
 Educator Says

Striking the note that the op- portunity for students to work, with its resulting ability to bear responsibility, is wonderful thing, pr. c. E. Bunnell, President of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, spoke to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce to- day at Bailey's Cafe.
 T am proud to say that the College is no glorified loafing place. said Dr. Bunnell. T believe it is a wonderful thing for stu dent to have the opportunity to take care of himself"
 That the "Farthest North" co., lege, located at Fairbanks, believes in that theory was pointed out by pr. Bunnell when he said that 41 students, alone, are engaged in performing most of the manual labor positions incidental to the operating of the college. Jobs, rang ing from an assistant postmaster to an official electric light "ex- tinguisher," are given deserving students in need of extra funds.
 Hodge Speaks
 "The College is busy place" Dr. Bunnell said. Everything is full up.' And everybody works
 Another speaker was Walter H, Hodge, former Cordova attorney returning to that city for a re- sumption of practice there. Of prin cipal interest in Hodges remarks was the report he brought from Seattle that Edward P. Medley, former Alaskan attorney shot by an angered client recently, had returned to his home from the hospital and that he is in an inn proved condition.
 John w. White, stationed at Fairbanks and connected with the Pacific Alaska Airways, spoke brief ly. He reported that Don Abel, in charge of the PA A. construc- tion of Juneau's new airport, was doing progressive work. The field is expected to be ready for the inauguration of a Fairbanks-Ju- neau air route on April l.
 Thanks by Harlan
 Still another speaker was J. D. Harlan, connected with the Ham, mon Consolidated Gold Fields, a dredging company of Nome. MT Harlan was brief, but sincere, in his feeling of gratitude for the way fellow Alaskans and others gave immediate help to Nome in that city's devastating fire last year.
 Jacob Hanseth, Petersburg, was introduced by c. T. Gardner.
 Three important items of busi- ness were reported at today's lunch con. A telegram from Alaska Dele gate Anthony J. Dimond acknowl- edged receipt of the Juneau Cham ber's request that the proposed International Highway follow a coastal route. Delegate Dim o e wrote, Insofar as we now know, when the highway is built, it will be accessible to the coastal cities.
 Offer Help
 Second, M. s. Whittier, acting Secretary, reported that the Execu- : tive Board had authorized two tele- grams, one to the Secretary of War and one to the Secretary of the Navy, presenting Juneau's facilities for an air defense base and offer ing any desired detailed informa- ton.
