 Blake said Marshall Cornett, Dis trict Governor of Rotary, from Kla- math Falls, oregon, will be in Juneau in the next few weeks to discuss plans for the convention.
 We had very little opposition to Alaska as the headquarters for the Rotary conclave," Blake said, ,'and they're all rather enthused about it."
 Blake said the convention will probably be held in the early part of the summer, with the steamer Aleutian arranged for to take the group.
 June will probably see the con- yention in Juneau for at least two days, Blake said, and added that he expected between 800 and 750 to make the trip.

But the peace treaty was signed in time for the preyiew, at which Cummings and Simone appeared together.

Gertrude Michael Stars at Coliseum in Sophie
 Lang Goes West

The problems Of a successful wo- man jewel thief who tries to return to living within the law play a part in the forthcoming Paramount pie ture, Sophie Laug Goes Vest which opens tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. This is the third of the Sophie Lang series of pictures, with Gertrude Michael again playing Sophie"
 Sophie Lang is the lovely jewel thief who finds it as easy to steal a male heart as an uncut diamond and at the beginning of the film she is finding it difficult to avoid the New York police, who are on her trail She hops aboard a train bound for California, and then Miss Mi chael is seen in a diZzying series of hectic episodes that sweep her to the film colony in Hollywood and into the arms of Lee Bowman. and new life of honesty and security.
 Aboard the train are Sandra Storme, film star, and her manager Larry Crabbe, who are bound for a studio where Miss Storme is to begin work under a new contract. A sul- tan, 0. Henry Gordon. is on the train, carrying with him a huge dia- mond. He wants it stolen, for he IS impoverished and needs the insur- ance money, but there is a special detective, Barlowe Borland, assigned to protect the gem. Lee Bowman, screen writer, hides Miss Michael from the police when she boards the train, though he does not know who she is.
 When she learns about the pres ence of the diamond, she looks upon 1t as challenge to her skill. and sets about planning to purloin 1t, unaware that Crabbe is also plotting to steal it. They both play cat and mouse with Borland but are unable to get around him, although the Sultan tries to put the gem in dan- gerous and easily attainable posi- tions.
 In a smashing climax Bowman finally upsets all the scheme that Crabbe had plotted, and saves Miss Michael from exposure. She prom ises him she will go straight.

 And from the first Simone's re- lations with would-be intervieWers were strained It was studio policy to make her hard to sec but I'm afraid it was Simone herself who made her hard to like. And then one day Simone wanted to be Friends Again. She gave a Party for the Press-four to six. Around five she withdrew, and with her went the refreshments. Simone wanted to be alone. After that her privacy was rarely disturbed.

 She's gone back to France, and I doubt that she'll be greatly miss ed The girl had a great talent, almost genius, for making herself unpopular.
 Because of that, she has left Hol- lywood valuable momento. It's a nearly complete list of things a would-be movie star shouldn't do, especially if she comes from a for eign country.
 Simone did most of 'em. And it's too bad. She had one of the great est chances for stardom ever given a newcomer Qncluding a ton of advance ballyhoo which did more harm than good). But she's back in France today. You can't blame  it all on excess drum beating.
 She landed in town on the wrong foot and stayed on it practically all the way. She hadn't been in Holly wood three days before she had tangled with the studio makeup man. Ernie Westmore was doing the usual experimental work on her hairdress but it ended in a Simon pure tantrum. This is sometimes known as Asserting Ones Import ance.
 She hadn't been around long, either, before workers began notic- ing an odd circumstance. Before sh {, came, the word from the east was that this little French girl knew how to talk English.

Hit Comedy in
SeCondWeek

TheatergoerS have been Tor
tunate in having some fine,
lusty comedies hold the stage Of
the National this season, but
nothing to compare with 'You
Can't Take It With You"
The Pulitzer prize play last
night started off its second week
here with a near-capacity house
reveling in the weird antics Of
that bizarre family. the Syca-
moreS.
What a family! They will
live long in theater annals as
the most priced collection of
goofy individuals ever gathered
under one roof-outside of an
asylum. ,
Penelope amore, the
mother, has been writing plays
for years because a typewriter
was delivered to the house by
mistake.
Grandpa, who quit work IS
years ago because he wasn't
getting any fun out of life,
makes a hobby Of raising
snakes.
Paul Sycamore, the father,
devoteS most of his time to set
ting off firecrackerS in the base
ment and the rest playing with
a Mechanic set.
ESSie is forever traipSing about
the house under the tutelage Of
a Russian ballet teacher while
her husband plays the xylo-
phone.
Mr.. DePinna, though really
not a member Of the family, de-
livered the milk eight years ago
and remained to help Pa with
the fireworks.
That doesn't complete the
roster but gives you a faint idea
of the inmates. The living
room in which the entire action
of the play takes place is some
thing to behold. Never was
such a conglomeration of junk
gathered together in one room
and much of the effectiveness
of the play is achieved through
the unusual setting,

artist, and his novelty orchestra
known for his radio and personal
appearance at smart dance and
ballroom spots.
That old .faYorite, Dave Mac
Williams, will hold forth, how
ever, during the month Of Au-
gust.
Those who love to take to the
water will get a thrill from the
new fleet Of 20 motor boats Of
the latest mechanical type,
which replace boats Of last year
on the attractive waterway
canal. These are notable for
their ease Of operation. .
OF course, all the time-teSted
thrillerS and amusement-giverS
will be doing business at the
same old stand. The Midway
House of Fun, the Coaster Dips,
the Whip, Pretzel, Aeroplane
Swings and smaller amusementS
have been given a face lifting"
that will make them even more
desirable than they have been.

SUMMING UP A SEASON
Women Has
Cast Minus
Males

It has taken a woman to show
UP women-at least as far as the
stage is concerned. In Clare
Boothe'S brilliant comedy, THE
Women" which Max Gordon
will present at the National The
alter for one week, beginning
Monday, April II, the author is
said to WELD the lash unSpar-
ingly.
Certainly, Miss Boothe, in her
play, which has caused a greater
furore on Broadway than any
other production, shows no
mercy to her sex.
The writer, however, neither
believes nor maintains that all
women are cats. She AYERS, and
the world and his wife probably
will agree with her, that there
is liberal representation of fe-
lines among the fair sex, and
Miss Boothe is firm in the opin-
ion that in showing them up
she really accomplished some
thing worth while. Just as one
poison is the antidote for an
other, so, then, are the women
in THE Women" a decided so
cial benefaction.
In pointing her moral, Miss
Boothe does SO in the most eff
fective manner-smart dialogue
and clear situations. THE
Women" is a high-power COM
edy. It fairly sparkles, and it
moves with the speed Of a light
ming flash. There is constant
truth and realismS that cannot
be denied, but, with the excep-
ton of a touch Of sentiment
here and there, it is the very
best kind of fun, from which
one learns the evils Of too much
leisure and the peril of idle Cos
sip.
During the year that 1.-THE
Women" has occupied the stage
of the Ethel Barrymore Thea
ter, in New York, a vacant seat
has been a rarity, and the audi
ences have been a study in them
selves. Smart comedy is sup
posed to appeal to smart people,
and 1.-THE Women" undoubtedly
does Just that, and then some.
Men enjoy 1.-The Women" just
as much as do their wives, moth
ers, sisters and girl friends.
