only real threat to our honesty
is the necessity Of being inter-
esting and at times we have
gone so far as to sacrifice en-
tertainment values to what we
believe to be a sound human

In conclusion, Mr.. Montague
stressed the fact that a final
obligation rests with the news
reels if they are to consider
themselves news medium: That
is % edit the news, and to edit
it with a far-sighted view to its
ultimate effect on human rela-

have ever been seen at any
period in its history. 1t is a rare
piece of entertainment, running
an hour and fifty minutes.
The direction of John Crom-
well was superb and displayed
a greater ability than he has
yet shown on the screen. Crom-
we'll can well take bows on this
fine effort, as bows will be de-
nanded by the applause his
work will receive.
The cast, headed by Ronald
CoIman, Madeleine Carroll
Douglas Fairbanks, jr., C. Au-
brey Smith, David Niven and
Raymond Massey, delivered as
fine a group OF performances
as has ever been seen on the
screen. Chief in their support
may be mentioned, among
others, Montague Love, Law
renee Grant. Ian Maclaren,
Byron Foulger. Howard Lang
and Ralph Faulkner. Mr.. Col
man, playing the dual role of
Rudolph RasSendyll and King
Rudolph, added more laurels to
his exceptional screen contribu-
lions. Miss Carroll never
looked nor acted better. Doug
las Fairbanks. j., displayed an
excellent Characterization as Ru-
pert of Hentzau, as did Ray
mond Massey as Black Michael.

into the corner of having to
combine the two factors and our
policy as worked out roughly
became, Give as much real

Mr.. Montague went on to ex-
plain that the newsreel interests
found tremendous possibilities in
the problem before them.
I'VE found that nearly any
major problem in human rela-
tionships had an agile of popu-
lar interest,"" he said. Perhaps
our approach was a superficial
one, perhaps we approached i'm

entertainment rather than an
educational angle. But at least

WHAT THEY PREFER
The newsreels have been
damned for being militaristic,
according to Mr.. Montague, but
he pointed out a large number
of pacifist stories that have
been released in the past few
years.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait

put across a plain simple plea
for peace that has a terrific
punch behind it," he said. "The

else"
Mr.. Montague stated that
religion hardly comes under the
heading of entertainment, but
one of the most interesting
stories ever worked out on the
screen was of one of the Bible
societies.

THEY LIKE TO GAG
Cliff, in particular, is as happy
with an audience of one, as he
was when he played before
packed houses with the ziegfeld
Follies and in Winter Garden
shows. With his famous ukulele,
he is a one-man concert. Cliff
will do anything for a laugh. He
has one routine where he plays
the ukulele standing on his head,
behind his back, and even with
his nose. When Cliff would get
tired, George would step in and
do an eccentric dance or sing a
song.
These impromptu concerts
helped to relieve the strain of
working eight hours a day before
the camera. I don't know of a
director who doesn't appreciate
the psychological value of such
off-stage by-play. They realize
that these moments of buffoon-
cry are relaxing and keep a COM

Cliff under personal contract,

comedies he directs.

For the first time, Alaska is plan ming to participate this year in che national May day - child health day under auspices of the newly expanded territorial department of health. The health department has issued a proclamation to that effect, and Governor Troy has made public a letter of endorsement.
 The pro ,lamation reads:
 Whereas, in accordance with tue act of Congress of May Is, 1928, the President of the United States has been authorized and requested to pro claim annually May as child health day; and,
 Whereas, our children are the greatest asset or all our national re- sources and should receive prime consideration in our efforts for pres vrsation of all territorial resources {,
 Now, therefore, the department oi health of the Territory of Alaska, hereby declares May 1, 1887, as child health day, and urges Terri tory-wide participation in the pro- tection of the health of all child ren throughout this vast Territory, to alleviate present defects and as sure the freedom from physical han- dicap in the future.
 Therefore, it is urged that every child beginning school life should have the assurance of a sound body, as testified by a physician, to assist a sound mind in future achievements of life."

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD - The Treasury Department of the United States has reported unfav- Orably on Delegate Dimond's bill in the House of Representative to extend the benefits of the Public Health Service to fishermen.
 Mir Dimond's bill, H. R. 1860, would amend the Public Health Ser vice Act to provide for seamen on vessels under tons, and also for fishermen. Under the present law only those seamen serving on board registered, enrolled of licensed ves- sels are entitled to the benefits of the Public Health Service.
 In it's opinion the Treasury De- partment said that enactment of Di- mond's amendment would constitute a radical departure from the basic purposes of the existing laws which are designed to give governmental assistance to American shipping. The Department pointed out that, the

Fritz Wicklan Found
 Drowned In HarbOr
Body Found at Low Tide Thursday
 Morning By Virgil Hulse

Fritz Wicklan, old time Wrangell resident, was found drowned early Thursday morning at the edge of the slab pile behind the Sister-and- Brother Hall. The body was seen by Virgil Huse as he came from his Ioat nearby.
 According to testimony brought out at the coroner's inquest into the death, Wicklan was last seen about A. NJ. Thursday. He had been drinking considerably and was ask ing David Sunnell where he could obtain two pints of wine as he still had a dollar to spend. According to further testimony brought out uy witnesses at the inquest Wicklin had come down to the float house occu- pied by Chris Steve early in the eve ming and left a little later. Steve and several companions also left the float later Wicklan was heard early in the morning knocking at the door of SteYe's float and yelling Chris, Hookan is Back" It is be- lieved he left again and in return ing to the float later he fell off the slab pile as he started for the gangplank leading to the float. It is a 12 foot drop from the slaps to the beach and about feet of water covers the spot at high tide.
 Doctor Clements pronounced the death due to accidental drowning and said he had been dead several hours when found. After hearing teStl- mOny of witnesses, the jury agreed on the verdict of accidental drown ing. There were no bruises or evil dences of foul play found on the body, only minute scratches which resulted from the fall to the beach.
