BETTE DAVIS Is
MARYLAND STAR
Has Strong Likes and
Dislikes; Plays Oppo-
site Henry Fonda

She's a tradition breaker, this
Bette Davis, and part of Holly
wood is trying desperately to be
annoyed at her because of it.
Many of the things she has done
are all right. Other people have
done them. Reasons within the
understanding of Hollywood logi-
clans can be assigned for doing
them whether or not those happen
to be the reason why Bette does
them. This, they say, is a pub
licity stunt, that a pose, the other
sheer stubbornness.
But the one unforgivable thing
she's doing (from the point of
view of a little group of unfor-
givers)-is being one of the
flicker industry's greatest actress
es without temperament, or
rather, temper.
Being great artist in her line
without tantrums. Working very
hard and not complaining that
she's overworked. Being thor
oughly democratic, normal, sane,
likeable in person.
Obviously says that little por-
tion of Hollywood, no great ac-
tress should cast such a serious
reflection on other great actress
es, living or dead, as Bette casts
by being both a top-ranking ar
tiste and a good fellow"
Bette began her theatrical ca
reer in school, won a scholarship
in John Murray Anderson's dra-
matte academy, and after some
hard shedding, clicked on Broad
way in such plays as Broken
Dishes.P Universal scouts dis
covered her, and signed her, but
after playing, few drab, wall
flower and younger sister" roles
she got her notice that next OBJ
ton time would be the last.
Kindly, but firmly, the cinema
moguls told her she was a nice
quiet little girl who might pos
sibly find employment on the
stage but lacked what the screen
required. About to leave for New
York-her trunks were packed, in
fact-she was given a test by
Warner Brothers for a part in
George Arliss' picture, "The Man
Who Played Cod"
After that came Cabin in the
Cotton" ''Fog Over Frisco, "Of
Human Bondage" (for which she
should have won the Academy

Business Outlook
 For Alaska Good
 Says Seattle Man

 SEATTLE, July - The Alaskan business outlook for the next l2 months is an excellent one, ac- cording to Fowler w. Martin, vice president of the Pacific National Bank of Seattle, who has just re- turned from a five weeks tour and survey of business conditions in the Territory.
 Mining activity of all kinds is greater than it has ever been, Martin declared. "The fisheries anticipate good year even though record breaker like last year is not expected. Tourist trav- el is expected to surpass even last year, and this will bring a large amount of business 10 mer- chants in Alaska.
 The banking executive pointed out that the record breaking sal- mon pack last summer resulted in more money in circulation in the sea coast towns of the Ter ritory, with considerable bene- fits to the merchants. Not only was their trade increased, but cash trading improved and the body of Alaska merchants are believed to be in better financial condition now than for some time past.
 With the mining industry in for boom this summer, with a normal production year at stabil- ized prices in sight for the salmon packing industry, with the mer- chants in better condition than they have been for several years, and bumper crop of tourists ex- pected during the summer season, l blieve prediction of a good year for Alaska is amply justified" Martin said in discussing his busi ness findings.
 Every visit to the Territory increases the pleasure derived from the beauty of its scenery, he continued. 'This was my four tn trip to Alaska, and l believe saw more of it this time than ev-

Admit Throwing
Brick In Window
Store Manager Rec0g-
5,izes Shoes on Feet as
They Confess.

Faber Hair, manager Of shoe store
at 310 Seventh street, was no little
surprised this morning when he dis
covered q ragged hole in his show
window and a brick occupying space
ordinarily reserved for his merchan-
disc.
But he received bigger surprise q
few minutes later when four little COL
ored girls-the youngest 9 and the
oldest 13-walked into the store and
announced they had tossed the brick
through the plate glass and had taken
several pairs Of shoes and stockings.
Hair didn't believe them-not until
he realized that the shoes two Of the
youngsters were wearing looked very
much like two pairs that had been on
display. That was exactly what they
were, the girls told him.
The store manager decided there
was nothing to do but call the police.
But while he was at the telephone the
girls started to argue over the ques-
ton Of who actually tossed the brick,
Hair said. The controversy threat
ened to cause minor riot and was
getting out of the control Of Hair and
an assistant when two first precinct
detectives arrived.
Hair said the quartet refused to ex-
plain why they were returning the
merchandise. The detectives booked
the girls at the precinct for investi-
cation, then took them to the Chill
dren's Receiving Home.
