Billy Grove, chief engineer of the 1redge at Candle, and R. H. Dalzell, assistant engineer, were among those who arrived here on Monday over the trail from Anchorage, driving here in eight days. Mir. Grove spent the winter in San Francisco, in which place, he says, industrial conditions are none too good, though far better than in Seattle. From talk he heard Outside, 1t is his belief that quite a few people will be returning to AL aska, few of whom are already in Anchorage headed in this direction. Among those seen at Frisco was George Kemp, who said be would re- turn here shortly.

That's where they made q wronR

of The Lake ranked in Miss Hep
burns mind even as she heard the
hordes OF dollars riding in and the
praise stacked high about her in film
land. In any profession kick in the
teeth is one thing, a good wallop to
the pride is another. The latter Is
seldom forgotten until it has been
blotted out by some deed that restores
self-esteem.
La Hepburn's deed evidently is going
to be Jane Eyre" After reading the
script devised from CHAR tie Bronte's
novel (by the same person who made
the admirable adaptation OF Pride
and Prejudice'D Miss Hepburn de-
cided she had something-or rather
the Theater Guild had it for her.
1t was a rather startling choice, for
! Jane Eyre is melodramatic and Vic
| torlan to the last inch, and Helen
jerome likes to retain the speech, the
manners and the spiritual essence of
the novels she revises for stage pres
entation. So far the combination of
the Hollywood darling and the pride
OF the Brontes has done wonders at
the box Office. Also, in a tour that
has chased all over every place from
Kansas City to Cleveland the star
doubtless has had a chance to learn
stage acting all over again, to get the
feel Of the role, to rediscover the thrill
of playing to live audience. For
these reasons there was wisdom in
the decision that gave the show
long run on the road before sending
IT TO New York.
| I DO NOT know how we'll acquainted
Miss Hepburn may have been with
the history of other dramatizations of
Jane Eyre" but had she delved into
that subject she might have found
much to encourage her in undertaking
the play. Harvard University, for ex-
ample, has play bill dated April 3,
1848, which imparts the information
that the fare Of the evening was to be

day and the next, when it was ready
to be replaced on the topmost part of
the Monument, it was gone 1t van

Conjecture had it that some one went
up the shaft during the night or that
1t was carelessly left on the ground
at the foot OF the Monument by some
workman. Anyway it disappeared and

had to replace it.
Some one with a penchant for his
tory must have stolen the two-volume
history Of Julius Caesar, written by the
French Emperor, Louis Napolean, and
which graced the New Orleans Public
Library To add spice to the theft,
the thief left note saying, "If you
are interested in the return Of these
books, advertise your bid" This, how
ever, lacks the humor of the Oklahoma
thief who "shoplifted" a sweater and
then returned it with a demand for
a larger size" No report is made
As to whether he was accommodated
with the exchange or paid for his

TN THE town where she once per-
formed one Of the most dazzling
noperoos Of modern stage history,
Katharine Hepburn, the screen
acting person, is soon to attempt q
comeback. On the night Of March %
the wonder girl from Hartford will
appear at the National Theater in
Helen Jerome's dramatization of Jane
Eyre" a production that has been tour
ing the Western provinces and cities
amid cyclone of huzzas from cinema
fans, critics and the people who know
good stage play when they see one
In Washington Miss Hepburn's re-
turn is expected to bring out the first,
second and third grave diggers as well
as distinguished audience The chief
mourners will sit on the front row and
wonder If this is going to be another
gruesome affair like The Lake" the
first play Miss Hepburn attempted after
her Eeteoric screen success.
"The Lake" opened cold here one
dismal evening q few seasons past.
P1atoons Of Hepburn admirers turned
out for the first night, the galleries
were stuffed as full as the stiff shirts
on the first floor, and every one
awaited the curtain rise with the
breathless anticipation of a lot of
fathers expecting the birth of a new
Bernhardt. Around the end Of the
second act, however, distinct thuds
were heard all over the house as the
more ardent Hepburn votaries slumped
and slid gently to the floor in a morass
of disillusionment. Many who had
Wept sweet tears when moved by her
artistry on the screen now looked at
the hammered lady on the stage and
sobbed openly, moved by nothing more
artistic than the fact that la Hepburn
was proving to be an awful bust as
the heroine OF not especially good
play.
Some Of the critics tried to be kind,
remembering that it pays not to man.
handle the public pets, and others
were fortnight enough to tell Miss
Hepburn that she had better grab the
next train for Hollywood and let the
legitimate stage 60 jump in the
lake. She was not to be DISCOURAGED
The show went on to New York even
tually, and the Gotham scribes opened
up on her with both barrels. She went
back to Hollywood, where the name OF
Hepburn commands back somersaults
from a regiment of lesser persons.
Shortly thereafter few solemn stu
dents parked themselves at their re-
spective typewriters and began 70

cluded that she wasn't, since she had
been unable to carry . mediocre play
to success. Some Of the unsuspecting
public took these discussions seriously.
The rest sat down and just laughed
and laughed, to think that any one
would expect girl with little less than
q years major theatrical experience
to become, all Of sudden, finished
and immortal artist OF the stage.
THE fact that Miss Hepburn was
and is splendid screen performer
had very little to do with the story.

A San Francisco thief thought 1t
would be fun" to steal the whole San
Francisco water front, including the
Ferry Building and half a dozen ferry
boats, at about the time San Fran
cisco was getting ready to bring them
to Chicago to show them at the
World Fair. The whole was in con-
crete form, being part Of the big
relief map made by city authorities
for world exhibition. It was removed
from the basement Of the Civic Audi
torium.
