GREEN HAD TO WAIT
Freddy Clark, Earle's maestro,
turned down President Green, of
the A. F. of L., last week, although
he is a loyal union card lad with
the Musicians. 1t was this
way: President Green called long
distance while the Earle band
was doing a Christmas broadcast
in the studio. The labor chief
wanted John Birdsell, secretary of
the local musicians, Immediately
on an important matter. How
ever, since the tradition is the
show must go on, Maestro Clark
refused to let his clarinet player
interrupt the concert by Chamber
ing over the studio set-up. Mr..
Green waited and eventually got
his man.

LOVE IN EXILE"

The accompanying screen tea-
ture is called Love In Exile" with
Give Brooke and Helen Vinson
featured. 1t was made more than
a year age in England and it is
really remarkable how closely the
narrative follows the hectic events
of real life.
It stems from the Gene Markey
novel, His MajeSty'S PaJamaS"
and portrays the monarch Of a
mythical kingdom who relin-
cuisines the throne when his name
becomes involved in a national
scandal with the commoner,
Xandra.
The picture ends with the
Kings return to the throne and
his presentation of Xandra to his
people.
Interesting only because love
In Exile" will probably never be
shown in England, and as a fea-
ture exiled to foreign screens, it
is hardly the most distinguished
celluloid to issue from the British
studios. However, its proximity to
the current headlines, makes 1t
significant.
Give Brooke and Helen Vinson
play the leads.

Howard Film
At Little

Berkeley Square," one Of the
most unusual films ever made. has
been revived for a run at the
Little Theater. This film is
marked with the adept touches of
a master. Dealing with an eerie
and unbelievable theme, to begin
with, it moves so naturally and
so smoothly as it's amazing events
unfold that the spectator is in
trigued and delighted.
Leslie Howard does a superb
Characterization as Peter. and
Heather Angel, very lovely look
ing, appears as Helen.
Betty Lawford handles the
modern love interest in this pic
ture which is so strangely blended
of the past and present.
The story, despite certain super
natural aspects, is profoundly
stirring and the film is recon-
mended, without reservation, as
an outstanding and serious effort.
Subsidiary film advertisement
includes colored cartoon, short
musical subject and the usual
newSreel. j. w. B.

KELLEYGRAMS

That was Bert Lair in Leon
Errol's dressing room after the
first show Friday at the Earle
Theater They talked Of times
when both, as aspiring young
comedians, lived together in Chi
cago Comic Lair also opined
that Washington audiences were
much colder and less demonStra-
tive than those 1.-THE Show Is On"
encountered in both Philadelphia
and Boston Specifically Mr..
Lair was of the opinion that the
burlesque on "Tovarich" did not
get the expected response here
and added that, personally, he
rated it the best short revue
sketch ever written. Mr.. Err
rol, of the collapsible legs, talked
Of the days when the Prince Of
wales was won't to drop into his
dressing room at the Palladium
Theater in London, and over an
informal Scotch and soda, talk
about show business "Regu-
lar" was the word for Edward
then, and Mr.. Enrol was among
those who read the recent news
with sadness .. Leon finds vau-
deville harder work than making
two reelers in Hollywood, but he
likes the direct contact with au-
diences and IS looking forward to
New York again and the coming
engagement at the Roxy He
is cheered, too, by the knowledge
that critics. everywhere call his
. Hollywood revue the best tabloid
now travelling in the Varieties.

Anan Popular Place
 For Outing Parties

The Anau recreational unit Of the |. s. Forest Service is a popular place now for outing parties from Wrangell as well as the yacht par ties cruising Alaska waters.
 The attractions are unique as they comprise the big fish runs at Anan creek, and the black bears, deer and other wild life of the game refuge.
 Rev Russell F. Pederson and family. Dr. and Mrs. Calhoun, of Lincoln, Nebraska, their daughte.' Eileen and A. Rasmussen. made up a party which found keen delight in a day outing at Anan last Fri day.
 The trip was made aboard the Princeton which was anchored out side Anan lagoon while the party in two rowboats made their way through the beautiful lagoon to the creek. They went in at slack high water and the children were thrill ed almost at once by the sight of a big blackie ambling along the shore of the lagoon.
 They left the rowbOats at the mouth of the narrow creek and made their way up the mile-lons board walk which follows the creek up the hill Lookout points are frequent where visitors may step off the walk, sit down and wait for glimpses of the bears which inhabit the woods of the opposite shore.
 The sight of the bears fishing is as interesting to adults as children and the Pederson party was no ex- ception. It was all the children could do to keep from shrilling with delight at the sight of the cubs at tempting to initiate the fishing maneuvers of mother bear but without success. When a bear seizes a fish it never struggles, its back being broken in the seizure. The cubs are very playful and seemed to enjoy a hide and seek game, their little faces peering out from the brush boldly and then withdrawing hurriedly.
 The fish were so thick in Anan creek that young Robert PedersOn waded in and caught up two big ones in his hands for picture talk ing purposes.
 The party fished for trout with yreat success. Jack Pratt, fish war fen at Anan who also acts as GUS adian for the recreational unit not the party, they report, and
 elned in many ways to make their
 ny more interesting.
 No deer were seen, but the fish, he marvellous scenic beauty of the rip. and above all. the bears, made up a most successful day.

 Army engineers reported unfay- orably on the harbor improvement project at Metlakatla, he said, hold ing that the project, though feas- ible, is not warranted from an ec- .onomic standpoint
 The engineers reported unfavcr ably also. for a small boat harbor at Rake. on which a preliminary survey was recently completed.
 Bids are to be opened soon, Col. Wild said, for dredging and rock removal along the Sitka waterfront. The fact that a recommendation has been made for a complete sur vey for a small boat harbor at Sit- ka. indicates approval for that pro iect
 Hearings on suggested projects are scheduled to be held at a num- Der of places on his present trip. T include Valdez, Seward, Nome and Bethel. He will be as- sisted by James Truitt, senior en- gineer, who is accompanying him.

 Although d large part of the pop ulation of Japan is engaged it. fishing, that country consumes very little of it's annual canned salmon pack Most of the output is ship ped abroad The success the Jar- enese have had in world marketine of canned salmon. crab. and other items is an indication of the abil- ity of their fisheries, with the aid of low labor costs, to go into d market at substantially lower prices than packs of other countries. The projected expansion fishing opera tions constitutes a serious threat in American export markets.
