play in years to be produced with an
all-feminine cast. The other, he says,
was Nine Til Six" an importation
from England, which ran briefly in
1890 between Broadway and Gains
warehouse.
Unless memory is playing its usual
tricks. however, Mr.. Pollock Is ex-
aggerating just a bit. Seems there
was a play called Girls in Uniform"
which also ran briefly q couple of
years ago. If there was q male char
acter in it he has passed completely
out of mind. And he should have been
pretty conspicuous in such an environ

PICKING successful play is no
easy job, not even for the Theater
Guild, which is an aggregation of
some pretty smart people Which Is a
way and probably not a good one, of
backing into the statement that we
sometimes wonder what the guild
thinks these days when it sees Storm
in Teacup" wowing movie audiences
in New York. When the guild selected
it as play last year, and produced it
as such, a lot of carping gentlemen
second guessed almost Immediately
that 1t would make more than fair
movie. 1t seems to have done just
that. Washington will have a chance
to see 1t some day soon at the Little
Theater
THE Shuberts, who might be called
the last men left alive in the field
OF musical comedy, are not going to
let Washington down with Just one
such number during the year. The
blue envelope which came from the
National Theater yesterday contained
the announcement that Three
Waltzes," a story of the Strausses. sung
by Michael Bartlett, Kitty Carlisle and
lots of others. will be the attraction
there for one week. starting April 18.
A piece of something more than nos
talgic charm. it has been running in
New York since Christmas. It is
dressy. sweet (but not sticky, and
tuneful as one hears about it from
customers and critics who saw it dur
ing the New York engagement. But
all that aside. Washington can Judge
for itself come April 18.

"Oh, goody," said Miss Macdonald,

doubtedly would include Washington

ton, it is difficult to conceive of any

be opened all the way over to the

assume that she would be less of a

With the build-up that her pictures
have given her, not to mention the
build-up she has given her pictures, a
concert tour ought to be quite an en-
riching experience for Miss MacDon-

nNE Of the things one remembers at
screening of "Bluebeards Eighth
Wife" is the great gales of laughter
it produced In the Paramount direc-
tors building one day last August.
Although Calude Binyon is just a
writer, about the best on Paramount's S
pay roll, he has an Office in the direc-
tors building. We were in his Office
talking to him about the past, present
and future of screen writing. when
the structure suddenly seemed to
shake with mirth.
What" we asked. sis that?"
1.-THE best show on EARTH" said
Binyon. Its down in Ernest Lubitsch's S
Office. He has the cast in there acting
out his next picture for them. He's
the best actor on the lot, you know"
The picture was "Bluebeard's Eighth
Wife" If Earle audiences laugh as
long and loud over it as Claudette Col
bert, Gary Cooper and other members
of the cast did that day Lubitsch
played it for them. it ought to sound
like the seasons brightest comedy.
The mere fact that the creator of
what IS called the "Lubitsch touch" is
not going to be with Paramount any
more, after II years of association
with that company, does not mean no
more pictures with the Lubitsch touch.
After vacation in Europe he is going
back to Hollywood and to work, prob
ably with United Artists. So we hear.

SENDS CHISHOLM TO JUNEAU CONNECTION RELIEF WORK PROJECTS

Upon recommendation of Mayor Fisk prompted by the many appli- cations he has received for further relief work, the city council at it's regular meeting on Thursday night of last week, voted to authorize City Clerk L. B. Chisholm to make a special trip to Juneau in that con- nection, together with other matters of considerable importance which cannot be accomplished satisfactor- fly by correspondence.
 The property committee by Coun- cilman Gunderson went into detail as to the advsability of repairs to the city truck recently damaged in collision.
 Two gravel trucks, both in the city employ during the recent WPA street work, collided at the foot of the hill near the former Union Oil station One, city owned truck driven by H. M Scribner, was gath ering speed to go up the hill with it's load and the other, driven by John s. Stevenson and owned by I. c. Bjorge, was coasting down.
 Truck Damaged
 Evidently misjudging the allow ance for passage the city truck was badly damaged with it's running gear sprung. The Bjorge truck suffered slight damage in comparison.
 The matter of repairing the city truck was finally referred by the council to the property committee with authorization to incur such expense as seemed in the best in-

Nursing Service Extended Major
 Native Villages Alaska

Point Hope on the Arctic ocean coast to begin work among the Es- kimos of that district, her work ex- tending from Kotzebue north to Point Barrow. At Kotzebue she as- sisted in the hospital and at Point Barrow she assisted the medical of ficer from the cutter Northland with his routine work.
 Wainwright was her official head quarters during her stay in the Arctic but her time was divided fairly well between Barrow, Vain wright and Point Lay, the only vil- lages in that vast district.
 Strenuous Travel
 When Bureau nurses are assigned travel stations in the north it means strenuous travel. Besides the trips on the coast guard cutter and the North Star, Miss Tiber in those two years made two trips north by plane. The trips south each spring were made by dog team. Despite the hardships of winter travel due to the brief daylight period, she made  the trip from Wainwright down to Point Lay in the middle of Decem- Der in company with an Eskimo dri- yer who had team of fourteen dogs, a two-day trip in which they travelled 23 hours with the ther- mometer at 26 degrees below zero.

 Visits Wrangell Elks

At the regular meeting of the Elks lodge Wednesday night Leon ard Soholt of Ketchikan 1429. Dis triet Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler was present on his official visit which is a part of the duties of the district deputy each year.
 As a usual part of the visit by a district deputy, there was an in- itiation of a new member. The Baby Elk in this case was Harold Mar tindale. who was held over from the initiates of two weeks ago in order that the lodge might hold an initia- tion during the official visit. Even though there was a substitution for a chair officer who was absent from town, Mr Ccholt congratulated the initiating officers on the splendid way in which they had eXemplified the ceremonies.
 In a short address to the lodge. the district deputy touched on many highlights of the activities Of the Grand Lodge and of the history of the Order Of interest is the fact that the history of the Order in Al aska dates back to 1899 at which time Juneau Lodge, 20, was insti- tuted Now there are eight lodges in Alaska with an approximate to- tal of 2300 members.

 Red Cross Roll Call

It is gratifying to know that Wrangell has once more gone over the top in the annual Roll Call of the Red Cross with 155 paid-up memberships, of which there were 151 one dollar, two two-dollar and two five dollar memberships. Last year Wrangell was one of four cities of Alaska that achieved their quotas and were placed on the Honor Roll. The others were Anchorage, Juneau and Cordova.
 At the Wrangell Chapter A R. O.. meeting held last week the final re- turns were presented, the audit of the books made by Miss Irene Coul- ter accepted with vote of thanks to Miss Coulter, and the treasurer, Mrs E. c, Anderson, authorized to send the accounting to the Pacific Coast Branch of National HeadCuar- ters at San Francisco The resigna- tion of Van H.

Miss Bertha Fiber, supervisor of nurses, Bureau of Indian affairs, took passage on the Baranof last night for Ketchikan after spending a week at the health center, Wran- gell Institute.
 Miss Fiber has 56 nurses in her department including those in the seven bureau hospitals, two board ing schools and in the field extending from Ketchikan to Point Barrow from which station a nurse covers the settlements across the Arctic rim to Demarcation Point.
 All major settlements of Indians and Eskimos in the territory come under a nursing service. There are many groups where a service can not be maintained on account of transportation difficulties; groups of six or seven persons who do not have a settled abode. They are in fish camps a part of the year and at inaccessible points at other times, too few in number for it to be practical to incur the heavy ex- pense of maintaining nursing ser vice for them.
 Three Trips To Barrow
 In supervising the nurses Miss Tiber travels thousands of miles ev- cry year by plane in addition to the steamer and gasboat trips of south eastern Alaska. Since her appoint mont as sI1parVisor in June 1936. she has not visited Barrow but will probably do so next year AS field nurse for the Bureau she made three trips to Barrow and was there the day before the plane piloted by Wiley Post and carrying Will Rogers as a passenger crashed.

Small Boat HarbOr
 Building At Juneau

JUNEAU - Construction is ex- peeted to begin Thursday on the breakwater of Juneau's long await ed small boat harbor, according to M. J. Rogers, Construction Super visor of the War Department who arrived in Juneau on the steamer Alaska.
 Four 2yard capacity Army trucks were aboard the Alaska and will be used on the project with local driy- CTS while bids will be called for from Juneau truckers to fill the truck requirements of the job, probably not exceeding fifteen trucks.
 Thirty thousand of the 7O,000 cubic yards of fill to be made on the two breakwaters, will be done by trucks, and it is believed barges will be brought here to supplement the trucks in filling the remainder of the required rock
 Labor needs on the job, other than truckers, will be small, it was learned, all to be hired through the Territorial Employment offices in the Territorial Building under Di- rector J. T. Flakne. Three months will be needed to complete the breakwater work, it is expected.

SICK BENEFIT
 FUND SET UP
 BY CWA UNION

At a well attended meeting of the Cannery Workers Auxiliary Union Monday night meetings were changed from first and third Mon days of each month to first and third Fridays.
 With two hundred eighty-three names on the membership rolls, the union takes it's place as the largest organization in Wrangell. This is the resident membership.

The benefits no ware not low, however, in proportion to the dues paid
 Attendance Prize
 A door prize of $500 which will be offered each meeting night, was inaugurated with the October Fist meeting. The member whose name is called must be present to claim the prize. otherwise it covers into the benefit fund The name of Mrs. Miriam Peterson was drawn on De- tober 21 and Miss Minnie Bradleys last Monday night, Neither one was present so the fund was enriched ten dollars.
