HVo BILLIE BURKE, the glory of American
womanhood has been an idea. an ideal.
an experience, and an incontrov1tible
fact. She embodied it personally. with her
white and gold beauty. her exquisite figure,
and the zest that quickened her. And as the
wife of Flo Ziegfeld, she had an inside seat
from which to observe many hundred times
over the lovely physical form it takes in
human cell and tissue. For Flo Ziegfeld was
the unofficial but supreme glorifer of Amer
ican girls on the stage.

perienced deeply the inmaterial glory we call
love, and learned the commonplace yet beau

and the world we call home.
For these things Billie Burke, the beau-
tiful, the famous, the adored, gave up her
career for years, to play what she recognized
as the glorious role of Ziegfelds wife and the

When Billie returned to the United States,

and cultivate good eating habits. No one
wants to get over-fat or have bad skin and

lot toward preventing misfortnes like these.
Billie says.
She herself is extremely fond of fruit juices
and, as she points out. so many varieties are
so easily available, both fresh and canned.
There are, also. almost endless possibilities
of combining fruit juices. and creating bever-

BRISTOL BAY
 GOOD AS EVER,
 METER AYERS
Paul Jensen Fishes Famed Area First Time in
 39 Years

Nearly four decades ago, Paul Jensen, Juneau fisherman, then cub of a kid" boarded an old wind jammer in San Francisco and made a tedious trip to Bristol Bay, AL aska. where he fished for the silver of the sea.
 Yesterday, Paul, now past sixty, but looking like man in his fortles, returned to Juneau from Bristol Bay after his first trip to that area since 1899, and says Tt hasn't changed great deal
 Jensen fished in Bristol Bay this summer for only three days, then wrenched his back and was forced to come home-but in those three days he made $500.
 There are just as many fish in the Kvichak area this summer as there were forty years ago." Jensen said. "Nushagak and Ugashik rivers were cleaned out by everlasting a long time ago, but the main body of fish going up the Kvichak is just as big as ever"
 Jensen said at one time in the early days there were eleven can- neries operating on the Nushagak,

GREATEST FILM OF PAUL MUNHS
 CAREER: 'z0LA'
Large Supporting Cast Is Headed by Gale Sonder-
 gaard at Coliseum

Fifty settings, the most that have been built for any Warner Bros. production since Anthony Ad- verse;" were used in "The Life of Emile zola," showing for the last time tonight at the Coliseum Thea tre.
 Included were such huge ones at the Pantheon in Paris, large Assize Court in the Palais de Jus tice, the Ecole Militaire and parade ground, Les Halles, famous Paris markets; an embankment on the left bank of the Seine; several blocks of streets in the Montmarte district of Paris, Zola's elaborate apartment; an English country cot tage; small Paris cafe :. This is Paul Muni's thirteenth picture, and he's superstitious enough to think it's by far his best /. There are thirty-five principals in addi- tion to Muni, most of whom have been or are stars in their own right William Dieterle, the director, also directed Muni's "The Story of Louis Pasteur," which won the star the 1886 Academy Award The picture was made backwards in se- quence, because of Muni's beard. He had heavy one of his own at the outset considerably augmented by false whiskers.

and five hundred gillnetters.
 "They not only had the gillnetters crowding the river, but they had traps almost all the way up the river to the lake, jutting out from both sides.
 Those traps would take 10000 fish day each, and catch more than all the gillnetters combined. Taking the salmon right off the spawning grounds like that was bound to spoil the river, and they did much the same thing on the Ugashik."
 But Jensen says a fisherman can make just as much money today in Bristol Bay as in the old days. He also says there will be more fish caught in Bristol Bay this year than last year.
 '"The men are getting cent less pound this year, but there are more fish. The only trouble is the canneries can only handle so much salmon and all fishermen are on a limit, varying from 1,500 to 2,000 fish a day, depending on how many boats are coming in.
 When fisherman is laid off, though, they pay him for his limit and put him to work in the can- nery. There's so much fish they're shorthanded. If a man is making S10O a day on his limit of fish, and he gets laid off, he still gets paid $1OO a day"
 But life has speeded up a bit since '99, Jensen agreed. When he left Bristol Bay on the windjammer for San Francisco in that year, it took him nearly three weeks to get to the Golden Gate city.
 This time, coming "out," it took Jensen only two and half days by airplane, train, and boat to come to Juneau.

Fred Astaire Swings It In His New Novel Dance
 at Capitol

 The film has been planned throughout to afford the wing footed favorite exceptional oppor- tunities for sensational novelty dances and comedy, and with it's brilliant cast, it's unique and up- rcarious plot and it's tuneful melo- dies, the offering is said to be one of the real screen events of the season.
 Joan Fontaine has the title-role, and Reginald Gardiner, Ray Noble, Constance Collier, Montagu Love, Harry Watson and other celebrities head the cast of the musical TO- nance, which deals with a fantas- tic love affair between an Ameri- can dancer and titled British girl.

Miss Fontaine plays the girl, who is try ing to avoid distasteful marriage, while her servants at Totleigh Castle are violently divided on the question of whom she should marry, and have organized their own sweepstakes on the event.
