Mrs. Messerschmidt Is Biz Bertha of Oriole Finale
 to Elks' Pin Season

Demonstrating that Oriole rollers had been holding something back for the climax, as well as the brawnier Rockies and Ringers, the Skylarks, and particularly Mrs Henry Messerschmidt. cut loose with an exhibition of rolling that more than upheld the honors of their class last night at the Elks in the final bowling session of the tournament season.
 Mrs. Messerschmidt hung to- gether games of 197, PIP, and 183 for a set total of 592, very close to tops for the ladies during the sea- son. Two of Mrs. Messerschmidts scores were also high in the single game division for the evening.
 Mrs. Percy Reynolds, another of the Skylarks, was next in line be- hind Mrs. Messerschmidt in the scoring, with marks of 195 and 52O. Between them they gave the Sky larks an easy two out of three game win over the Mocking Birds in the opening match.
 The. second encounter was not so mighty battle between the Tow hees and the Waxwings. with the Waxwings edging out the odd game.
 In the final match of the Oriole tournament. and of the winter bowl ing tournament season, despite the 501 score rolled by Mrs. Josephine White, her Blue Birds aggregation dropped the deciding tilt of the match to the Sagehens, the Elks' tournament bowling was over for this year, except for a playoff match that may have to be arranged to decide the title winner in the Ring CTS Circuit
 The Elks' Bowling Committee has announced that. following time out for the regular weekly lodge meet ing this evening, the club alleys will be open to all members in the evenings, starting tomorrow eve hing. The Committee also stated that all prize winners and the team standings will be announced on Monday. Players individual aver ages will not be released for a week yet, as re-checking of them is nec- essary.
 A telegraphic bowling meet with the Elks' bowlers at Ketchikan is to be arranged for an early date, the Committee declared.

BY PAUL HARRISON

Hollywood. - All over the lot: Virginia Bruce and Franchot Tone are about to do a love scene for General Hospital" The lights arc adjusted, and set swept and the flowers strengthened, and Director George Seitz calls for a rehearsal.
 Both Tone and Miss Bruce have been chewing gum. They're still chewing it as they sit on a couch and go into clinch. She seems a little giggly; he's frankly bored. One man on the set who isn't bored is chief petty officer of the navy who has been detached from duty and sent to the studio to study pho- tography. Instead of watching the cameraman, he watches Miss Bruce.
 Soon Seitz is ready for take, He tells the players that they must continue their love-making little longer and that he'll cut them out of it when he wants them to break. Don't wait too long, says Miss Bruce. T won't know what to do."
 She and Tone throw away their gum and resume their clinch. He doesn't seem bored now, and she doesn't giggle. The director allows the scene to run for what seems like a long time. After he calls "Cut" the navy man continues to sit and stare in a sort of ecstatic trance, Man - oh, man." exclaims the sailor, and the set whoops.
 Facing the Music
 Tone has a tougher task in the next scene. He has to slap Maureen O'Sullivan. They try it time or two, but the sound of the slap isn't recording as well as it should. "Sock her harder" says SeitZ.
 Tone socks her harder.
 "Try cupping your hand little, Franchot," suggests Seitz. The actor cups his hand. After a few more blows, Miss O'Sullivan's left cheek is scarlet and she begins to finch before she's hit. After all,' she asks testify, "how long is this going to go on?"

Richard Dix is starred as the ambitious young young attorney whose char acter and ethics are transformed by the realization that reckless and drunken driving is a major public menace.
 Pretty and talented Joan Perry, in the best role she has yet played in pictures, is Dix's leading lady She plays the part of a young rewspa- per woman whose love for the at torney is constantly being shaken by the fear tha.. he is insincere in his efforts to battle highway reck- lessneSs.
 As the story opens, Dix is prac- ticing attorney whose belief seems to be that a lawyers client is inno- cent if he can prove him 50. Miss Perry, as the girl newspaper report CT, disagrees with this viewpoint al- though she is fond of the lawyer. Her affection cools distinctly when Dix, eager for political advance ment, defends and clears a rich and influential young wastrel. The youth, drunken driver, has been charged with nianslaughter. The lawyer frees hir1 though he knows him guilty.
 Then Dix, thanks to the influence of this youths father, isleected to the post of district attorney. On as- stunning office, he apparently has a change of heart. He becomes the avowed enemy Of reckless driving and other law breaking. Miss Perry, however, recalling the case by which he climbed to political power, be- lieves him insincere. He cannot con- vince her otherwise.
 Dix finally is confronted by cli- max and a grave problem ot action and decision when the youth whose father obtained Dix his political po- sition, is again involved in fatal automobile accident.

 What Will People Think?
 Shirley Temple has just started to work in "Heidi' and seems more excited about this picture than any thing she has done. For one thing, she read the Johanna Spyri book few weeks ago. A good deal of it. anyway. Also, thousands of peo- pie have written in asking that the story be filmed with Shirley.
 For the first time, she has
 much of the eager interest of
 star in a dramatic vehicle; she
 had her mother read aloud each
 revision of the script, and the
 Marvel MOppet pointed out
 things she didn't like.
 Although Shirley can read pretty we'll, she still learns lines most readily by having them read to her. Mrs. Temple does that. Each eve- ming they go over the next days scenes, but mostly for sense and continuity. Like most movie players, Shirley learns her lines right on the set.
 She won't dance in Heidi" and her only singing will be a hymn, not yet selected, along with the other people in a church.
 One of the things she does want to do in this picture is milk goat. Mrs. Temple and Director Allan Dwan are having an awful time trying to explain that maybe it would be better not to milk goat. Shirley says the little girl in the book mixed goat, and what will people think if her picture isn't like the book?

STRAND STAGING
 DOUBLE FEATURE
''The Woman l Love- and Gall It a Day" Ends
 Tomorrow

"The Woman I Love-, with Paul Muni and Miriam Hopkins, also Call It A Day., with Olivia De- HaYilland, Ian Hunter and Anita Louise comprise a splendid double feature program of screen entertain ment to be enjoyed today and to- morrow at Warner Rrc:herS Strand theater.
 "Turn of the Moon", will head Sundays new show and if this is 8 sample of what women producers can do the only thing wrong with the movies is that there are not enough women producers. As the first production of Fanchon, known for her presentation house units. this musical comedy featuring Charles Ruggles, Eleanore Whitney, Johnny Downs, Kenny Baker, Phil Harris and Ben Blue is definite proof that here is a new producer to be reckoned with.
 The plot is hilarious. It introduces Ruggles as Dinwiddy, department store magnate and aid to . pair of star crossed lovers whose affair must be brought to 8 successful conclu- sion before he can ask his girl to marry him. His belief in the stars makes him refuse to move without the right heavenly signs. The con- clusion is not reached before Rug gleS has had a chance to get drunk with Ben Blue (and it's the top drunk in the Ruggles' reportoire) [, before the usual boy loses girl com- plications set in and before the po- lice and fire departments are re- quired to bring RuggleS into jail to stop him from shooting up his own department store.

TRIO OF STARS
 AT LOEW'S POLL
Tracy, Tone, and George Featured in ''They Gave
 Him a Gum

Three great stars, Spencer Tracy, straight fror. his lovable role in San Francisco, Gladys George, the lovely lady of Valiant Is the Word for Carrie" and Franchot Tone, the rollicking hero of "Mutiny On the Bounty" form a new triangle in "They Gave Him a Gun," which opens four day engagement at the Loew Poli theater Saturday.
 These three great stars unite their talents in one enthralling screen entertainment!

Two who find love . one who turns killer because he learned to use a gun . it is their flaming story .. in the treacherous years after the war your heart will tell you it is greatl
 Hollywood has gone the limit In choosing star -studdied cast. Rid ing on the crest of the wave for his sterling performance as the heroic Portugese fisherman in Captains Courageous" which, although not yet seen by Waterburians, Spencer Tracy, to quote movie critics, main tains his usual standard of excel lent acting in this, his greatest pie ture.
 Gladys George, the toast of the Great White Way for two whole years, now has a still greater and brighter future on the screen. In this new film she tops her superb performance as the Valiant Car rie". She gives 8 characterization that is truly sensational and one that will truly endear to the hearts of the nations film fans.
 Franchot Tone deserts his usual dress suit roles for his part in this picture. For Franchot, the part is a distinct departure from anything he had ever attempted before. He sheds completely his culture, his smooth manners, his flair for clothes. In his most dramatic role to date he is a weakling who becomes a gangster. He gave his utmost act- ing ability to this characterization and the result is superb perform

ance that will make his star zoom to the heights.
 The story deals with the drama of woman in war and two men in love with her.
 Tracy portrays the part of a cir- GUS barker who enlists in the regu- lars. Tone is a small-town clerk who finds himself in the army and up in the front lines. A gun gives him courage. Miss George is the Red Cross nurse.
 When Tracy is reported missing, she marries Tone, out of pity. Tracy escapes from an enemy prison camp and the trio meet sagain in civil life, with the war ended.
 Their lives go on from here in the mightiest, srrging drama the world has ever seen.
 As story and picture to reflect the evils of war and its aftermath, 'They Gave Him a Gun" is a powerful medium. But it is more than that. It affords Tracy and his colleagues an opportunity for first rate artistry which none of them has overlooked.
 You will experience thrills with out ends as three great stars .. and a cast of thousands triumph in this smashing dramatic sensation.
