BERNHOFER IS HERE FROM SKAGWAY
 TO VISIT HER FAMILY

Miss Mary Bernhofer arrived in Juneau from Skagway on the Denali this morning to visit her niece and nephew, Marye Berne and J. B. Bernhofer.
 Tiny and bent with years, Aunty Bernhofer, as she was known to many in Juneau where she lived and managed the Bergman Hotel, greeted old friends on the dock, recognized faces she hadn't seen for eighteen or twenty years.
 Miss Bernhofer who first came to Alaska forty years ago in the gold rush days, is now 87 years old Most of her time in the north has been spent in Skagway and Dawson, with the exception of the years in Ju- neau as manager of the Bergman.
 Aunty Bernhofer is here for medi- cal attention and to visit her fam fly. Marye Berne and Dutch Bern hofer and their sister, Mrs. R. F. Estill, of San Francisco are her only relatives in this country and it isn't often that two in her family are here at the same time-so "Aunty' has come to see them.

NEWSPAPER WOMAN
 VISITS IN JUNEAU
 AFTER TRIP WEST

Miss Dorothy Brant, of Seattle, was in Juneau today while the Aleu- tian was in port, on her way home after the round trip to the Vest ward.
 Her trip to Alaska, Miss Brant has planned since she was little girl. Her father was on the staff of the Dawson News back in the days when a newspaper plant had to be taken over the trail from SkagWay. While she wished that she could have con- tinued her journey to the Interior, she did manage the trip to Lake Bennett, and saw the winding, tor tuous trail her father had covered forty years ago.
 Miss Brant is on the society staff of the Seattle Times but her job includes interviewing most of the famous people who come to town and so far, her favorite is Clark Gable. He's really as nice as he is good looking" she said.
 When she isn't helping Virginia Boren get out the Times society sec ton or interviewing celebrities, she finds time to write books for chil- dren.

Each recent year has brought to the screen a finer type of musical picture and 1937 is no exception The Firefly," Metro GoldWyn- Mayors impressive adaptation of Rudolf F'rimls memorable operetta, with Jeanette Macdonald in her seventeenth musical triumph, is Hol- lywood's new offering at the Capi- tol Theater tonight and tomorrow night.
 Allan Jones and Warren William as the stars leading men delighted the audience.
 The Firefly'' presents power full story of dramatic romance, as well as a vehicle for remarkable music. M-G-M- has gone the limit in it's settings and in the artistry of presenta tion.

Cutting birthday cake

able if you like good sentimental cry.
 It's about an orphan girl who .annexes as dream-daddy a tough gambler John LiteD and soon finds herself a lucky mascot for the horserace meanderings of Li- tel, Ann Sheridan and Frank Me Hugh. Reminiscent in some re- spects of Little Miss Marker" the picture that spurted Shirley Temple to fame, this film has 5-year-old Janet Chapman as it's principal charm, and may do the same for the new tyke.
 Not pretty, but plenty cute and improving in performance as the film unreels, little Miss Chapman can be counted a Shirley of the future. John Farrow directed.
 Some Good Acting
 Kidnapped" = from the Robert Louis Stevenson story-is happier on the screen than "Ebb Tide" the other recent Stevenson tale in cell luloid But the total effect, for all its moments of interest, is diffuse and weak, and although it has elements - arising from Scottish rebellion against English rule main ly-that should be exciting, the occasional excitement peters out
 There is, however, fine produc- tion, and good performances by Warner Baxter, Freddie Bartholo- new and Miles Mandcr Gas David Balfour's scheming uncle) The new girl, Arleen Whelan, is appealing and may be rated a potential find although not on this little to-do performance Alfred Werker directed.

HEPBURN GOES ID TOWN, NEW
 SCREEN SH0W
Reviewer Declares She and Cary Grant Cast Ex-
 ceptionally Well
By ROBBIN COONs

HOLLYWOOD, June H. The new Holiday vehicle which in 1930 served Ann Harding we'll is a splendidly enacted, brilliantly directed piece of film shrewdly aimed at popular applause.
 The co-stars are Katharine Hep burn and Cary Grant, here in- volved in an exchange of ideas that is purposely not so brittly clever as it was in Philip Barry's original stage play and in the Harding film version. Its iibes at vast wealth are as sharp as ever, but leayened oc- casionally-with the perspective of eight years which have not been too rich for the majority of cus- toners by admissions that money, while not all-important, is pretty nice.
 Grant is the everyday fellow who falls for the daughter Doris Nolan) of a Croesus (Henry Kolker0 Grant learns about the relationship after they're engaged, but having just cleaned up tidy sum himself it is his idea to take a long vacation while he's young enough to enjoy it, return later to make more money. The girl and her father can't see that view, think life is for making millions and more of them, but the boy is abetted by his prospective ster-in-law, (A1iss Hep burn). Tn the final scenes, faced with a choice between the fiancee's point of view and his own, he chooses-well, K. Hepburn is his co-star. The role, played with a slightly pixilated grace, is probably Hepburns best-at any rate since Little Women" George Cukor di- rected, and all the supporting play CTS Lew Ayres, Edward Everett Horton, Binnie Barnes, Jean Dixon, and Henry DanielD distinguish themselves, with Ayres especially surprising, as the stewing, stewed young brother

The margin favored first one team

in the nightcap.
In the first place the Lincoln
Parkers want to remove one of
the contenders for the interhigh
crown. AS though that weren't
enough, they have grudge against
the Rough Riders that dates from
the day when they relinquished
their league lead by forfeiting a
game in which they had beaten
Roosevelt, 44-19, on account of
playing an ineligible man.
FAVORED TO WIN
Eastern, though expected to win,
will have no walkaway this time,
however, as the Riders have i'm
proved vastly since that former
trouncing and they have a fur
ther bolster in the acquisition of
two star players, Hymie Perlo,
from Mcfarland Junior High
School, and Jack Smith, a center
promoted from the second team.
These two boys were very i'm
pressive against Briarley Military
Academy last Tuesday, with Smith
leading the scoring with IL points
and Perlo following with nine.
Lee Lusby, diminutive guard,
and Clint Quantrille, towering cen
ter, who are running one-two in
the individual scoring race, are
ably assisted by the other three
members of Eastern's fast-scoring
quintet, Russ Lombardy, Soup"
Hancock and Ralph Matera. These
boys, fresh from a 1920 decision
over Gonzaga, will attempt to
maintain the pace that has given
them almost a 40-point game aver
age in series competition.
