John Stevenson Back
 After Trip To Europe

Back home after a five months trip to Norway, John Stevenson ar Kiyed in Wrangell early Tuesday morning on the Mount Mckinley. Although reporting conditions very good in Norway and good times pre- vailing. John says he is glad to be back and get away from the war talk that prevails all over the Eur opean countries.
 In relating his trip to the Sehtiu- el John said: T left Wrangell early in October for Seattle. Arriving there l obtained passage on one of the Express Fruit Boats sailing tor Europe. The trip down the Pacific Coast to the Panama Canal was rough and unpleasant, especially for those people who were not used to sea travel. The trip through the canal was made without trouble but once we got out into the Atlanuc Ocean we were hit by the hurricane that was riding up and down the east coast at that time. There were eleven passengers on the Fruit shlp and they were sick most of the time l had to look up the crew to find someone to talk to. The trip across was one of the worst in the ships history. We were forced to lie at anchor off the Azores for several days waiting for the sea to calm down. Arriving at HayTe. France, left the ship and spent a day on a side trip to Gay Paree, then left ,or Rotterdam, Holland, Oslo, Nor way, Trondhjen, Norway and finally to Christiansund, my home town, arriving there on December T."
 During his stay in Norway he re ports very fine weather. Lots of snow in the interior of the country but mild weather prevailing along the coast. The temperature lowered around 25 to 28 above zero most of the time he was there. John inform ed Us that he spent a great deal of time ice skating and did some skiing. He also saw several big Ice Meets and some of the worlds experts in fancy and speed skating.
 The large stadium in Christ an sund is flooded for skating purposes. This makes a fine ice arena. Many hundreds of people have the oppor- tunity of the winter sports in that way. The stadium is closed about noon every day and again about sup per time to allow the loose ice to be scraped off and new water added to freeze and make a smooth surface again.
 Leaving his mother, three broth CTS and a sister, in the best of health John took passage from Norway on February 15 on a Norwegian Am erican liner for New York. The re- turn crossing couldn't have been any better reoprts John. After a day or two of choppy seas, the ocean seemed to need a rest and remained like mill pond for the balance of the trip which consumed days. Af- ter arriving in Seattle, having come across the continent by rail, he could not obtain passage to Wran- gell until the Mount Mckinley this week.

4 Smooth OO-CrI Ballet?
 Giue HoHyiuood 6 Weeks
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 29. - Movie choruses are a-bubble with swing and hotcha these days, but when Leon Leonidoff came out from New York it was to stage a couple of pallets
 These will be seen in Grac e Moore's When You're in Love" and will occupy the screen for four minutes and 32 seconds. To make them required six weeks and years.
 First requisite Wac oo girls, and Leonidoff was particular. Busby Berkely, Dave Gould, Bobby Con- molly and LeRoy Prinz are particular dance directors too, but
 What do they want for 60 bucks a week? A Pavlowa?" cracked one blonde with a baby stare, one "re- ject" among many who passed through the Leonidoff talent selec- ter and out again.
 400 Apply; 60 Are Chosen
 On typical day during the week of interviewing and trying out ap- plicants, six girls were seen before one was selected. She was Olga Chatmoss, tall, bloude and slender, graceful and rhythmic in movement. She had been trained in ballet, had danced at the Hollywood Bowl and at the Metropolitan in New York. She had danced-and studied since she was knee-high.
 Now she is five feet five inches tall, the exact height required. She weighs l22 pounds, nicely within specifications which are between 120 and 125
 Four hundred girls were called and seen before the 50 were chosen and contracted. None of the 60 varied more than half an inch from the prescribed height, all were with in the weight limits. Among them were girls whose teachers were F'o- kine, or Albertaina Rasch, or Ruth St. Denis. Some had appeared with the Monte Carlo Ballet Russe
 Aida Broadbent, assisting Leoni- doff. took charge of the rehearsals -9 am. to pm, for four weeks. Leonidoff, busy with selecting spe- cial costumes, stage settings and featured dance teams, oversaw the grind, made suggestions, rearranged groupings occasionally. We'll into re- hearsals, the girls were given cos tunes" of flowing lines, rough ap- proximations of the real things they would be wearing for the cameras. This was to accustom them to the handling of long sleeves and trains
 Cameras Grind Six Days
 After five weeks the pallets were ready. Star and co-directors. Robert Riskin and Harry Lachman. came in for dress rehearsals while the Leonidoff Broadbent combination concentrated on last-minute inn provements.
 The sixth week-and the cam eras. Six of them, focusing from as many angles in the massive set tings, captured the results of all this work, grinding through six days.
