my Bill" with Kay Francis,
Bonita Granville, Anita Louise,
Bobby Jordan and Dickie Moore
heading the cast, opens today
at the Earle Theater. On
the stage zaSu Pitts will appear
in person, headlining the stage
show.
Based on Courage" the stage
play by Tom Barrie, my Bill"
presents Kay Francis in an un-
usual role. In it, she gives up
glamour to prove that she is
an accomplished actress, and
has dared what few motion

play a woman who is older than
her real self and is the mother
of four children, the eldest sup
posed to be Is years of age.
Directed by John Farrow,
my Bill" is said to be a heart
warming story, a real success
for Miss Francis and a great op-
portunity for Dickie Moore,
who plays the title role-Bill,
the only one of the four chill
dren who sticks by his mother
On the stage, ZaSu Pitts, pop
ular Hollywood comedienne,
will appear in person in a spe-

Keith's.
Kate Douglas Wiggin, who has
a way with simple words and
pleasant places, authored this
dearly loved tale of a past gen.
Grafton; she it is who has given
so much of this kind Of fiction,
charming, graceful and decided,
ly pointed.
The Carey family, symbolic
of so many such families ia.

FIND DREAM HOUSE
Nancy and Kitty are the beau
tiful daughters, and Gilbert and
Peter the stalWart sons, though
Gil is only II and Peter just
past 3; they are an enthusiastic
group given to pretending at
home-hunting, always claiming
a lovely place because they have
never really stayed long enough
in one place to have a home.
Then that trouble in Cuba and
the fathers name on the cas-
ualty list left the Careys with
only Government pension and
a meager $500 from insurance
but with this and stout hearts,
they found a dream house and
settled down to stay put" for
ever.
The villain of the piece, for
such a story must needs have a
mortgage-forecloSer, appears in
the person of the owner of the
place, which, though it hasn't
been rented for 10 years, has,
thanks to the kindly miniStra-
tions of Mother Carey and her
brood, blossomed into a de-
sirable place. He has a buyer,
the deal is practically closed
when the new owners decide to
take over and force a reluctant
tenant out; the youngsters figure
out a way to kill negotiations
and retain possession, and their
method is one of the most anus
ing scenes in an altogether
amusing play. Love steps in,
hits a two-bagger, and the story
ends, as all pleasant stories do,
on a pleasant note. -.. ..
SPLENDID CAST
Fay BANTER, Ralph Morgan,
Ruby Keeler, Ann Shirley, Frank
Albertson, James Ellison and
Walter Brennan are splendid in
well-choSen roles, but the picture
is stolen outright by a curly
haired juvenile find" who an
swers to the name of Donnie
Dunnagan, who never muffs a
line and sings top notes with
all the rest.
Shorts include a sweet and ten
der Silly Symphony, "Winken,
Blynken and Nod" a sports film
glorifying badminton and a
newsreel evoted mostly to
planes arriving in America. It's
a great show with all the ele-
ments of hum a n emotions
lightly touched. We liked it;
we're sure you will too!

There Is Still
 Gold in Region
 Around WiSeman
Field Engineer Reports Val- uable Mineral Lands But
 Transportation Problem

Up there in the Wiseman region above the Circle, made famous by fiction and fact in the past, there is still plenty of valuable mineral land but lack of transportation and the fact that regions closer to es- tablished outlets are producing hea- vily probably will hold back devel- opment for some years to come.
 This is the belief of Irving Nick Reed, Field Representative for the Territorial Department of Mines, who arrived here Saturday after spending the summer in the district on survey work Mir Reed is here to attend the meeting of the Alaska Game Commission of which he is Chairman.
 There is much evidence of free gold all through the upper Koyukuk country, Reed said, it being one of the outstanding places in Alaska for finding nuggets, and there are a few small independent operators, but little has been done yet on a larger scale. There was some movement into the district during the last sumner he reported, but it proba- ply will be some time before larger operators become interested due to the isolation of the region.
 A weekly air service from Fair banks is now operating into Wise man, center of the region, two- hour flight. There is one caterpillar in the whole district and one Ford car to be used on the six available miles of road.

REED REPORTS FINDING FIS H LOVERS HEAVEN
Commission Chairman Here to Open Session Tomor-
 row Tells of Wild Lake

With Chairman Irving Mex. Reed arriving Saturday by plane from Fairbanks, Commissioner Andrew A. Simons of LakevieW getting in this evening on the Alaska and Com missioners Earl Dinner of Petersburg and Frank P. Williams of St. Mich ael scheduled to arrive on the Bar and from the south, the annual meeting of the Alaska Game Con- mission has been called to open here tomorrow.
 Also arriving on the Baranof will be w. E. Crouch, Chief of the Game Management Division of the Biolo- gical Survey, and George A. Hos sick of the Survey, both from Washington, D. c.
 Chairman Reed, first to arrive, brings fish and game revelations which promise to give the other commissioners something to shoot at. AS field engineer for the Ter ritorial Department of Mines, Reed spent the summer in the upper Koyukuk country making mineral land survey and mapping. On the side, he explored Wild Lake at the head of Wild River, in the Wiseman region above the circle. There he found the sportsman's paradise, he said today
 Trout, grayling, white fish, pike and other varieties abound in the lake, untouched virtually by the in- terferance of man. With a willow stick for a pole and a little fly he caught them at will and thought the fishing was good. But with him was kobuk native. This chap, Reed reported, used one of the or iginal Kobuk hooks, the adaptation of which is the widely heralded AL aska Mary Ann.
 He caught five fish to my one,' Reed commented, and I was catch ing 'em planty fast"
 Up in this Wild River haven, the chairman saw great herds of noun tain sheep, some of the finest spec linens he mas seen in the north, and many moose The moose, he said, apparently are a different spe- cie than those found elsewhere in Alaska. They are smaller and climb up the steep mountain sides like goats, he reported.
 Incidentally, Reed tried to test the depth of Wild Lake and let a line down 900 feet without getting bottom. The water is so clear one can see down 40 feet and is ice cold, he said.

Easier to Look
 At Works of Art

SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. IA. Science has made it easier to look at works of art.
 The glare which often makes it impossible to view an oil painting except from certain angles has been overcome by using lamps with polaroid windows, says Harold R. Moulton, researcher for the Am erican Optical Company
 Polaroid sheets make use of quinine and iodine crystals to filter out the rays that cause glare. Until now there never has been available enough material, such as the min eral calcite used in Nicol prisms, to filter sufficient polarized light to make such an application prac- ticable

Mt. Jumbo
Smiles
 In Moonlight

Full moor tonight! And for thc benefit of those who appreciate such things, notice the gleain;ns face of Mt Jumbo and a sister peak. behind Douglas, late tonight when the moon has climbed to almost vertical position.
 For the past few nights, the cliffs of the mountains named have tossed back from their wind-polish- ed cheeks of snow, sparkling reflec- tions of moonlight.
 Perhaps Juneau alone has wit messed such a phenomenon. The Taku wind which has blasted to ice the snow that was flung in white shroud over the peaks, may be thanked for this one thing of beauty.
