LONG LIVES THE KING
Dear Andy:
king Kong" perhaps the
most successful and most enter
tanning of all the phOtOplayS
dealing with the unusual, the
weird, or the supernatural, re-
turns to the Metropolitan Thea
ter this Friday. When the print
for this engagement arrived in
town the other day, we screened
the picture to check sound, etc.
This screening reminded us of
the story told us by Robert Fol
lizard, exchange manager for
RKO, in regard to the recent
engagement of king Kong" in
Roanoke. A Roanoke critic
dropped in to see a few minutes
of the picture and stayed to see
1t through, a tribute to the
suspense and fascination of this
five-year-Old production.
When the picture was shown
In our projection room the
other night, we, like the Roanoke
critic, found it entertaining
enough to hold our attention
from beginning to end. We won.
Hered, therefore, if you might
not be interested in seeing "King
Kong" too.
We have kept the print in our
projection room and plan to
screen it tomorrow wednesday,
afternoon at 1880. Hope you
can come by and see it with us
again, as we feel certain you will
enjoy it.
The tiOn.picture industry
has made a great deal of prog
resS since 1888, but Hollywood
still hasn't created anything tO
rival Kong!
: Very truly yours,
FRANK LA FALCE,
Director of Advertising
and Publicity.

FOREST SERVICE
 PUTS TROUT IN
 BARREN LAKES
Rainbows Planted in Ten Lakes on Baranof and
 Two on Chichagof

A start toward stocking barren lakes of this district with trout has been made by the U. $. Forest Service, it was announced today by Wellman Holbrook, Assistant Re- gional Forester. Last week District Ranger w A Chipperfield and g crew caught a large number Of rainbows with seine and hook at Lake Sashin at Little Port Walter and placed them in large pot. Yesterday with a plane the fish were carried in 10-gallon milk cans to 10 barren lakes on Baranof and two on Chichagof for planting Some of the trout ran up to 10 and 12 inches in length and it is be- lieved that the transplanting will be successful, Holbrook said. It is planned to carry the experiment further, he said, and send several cans of the rainbows into the In- terior by plane to plant in some of the lakes of that region.
 Baranof lakes planted were on the south and west areas of the island and many Of them are chain lakes which should give the trout a long range, the official explained. Blue Lake, east of Sitka, and FL fendahl, north of the Chichagot mine were planted on Chichagof Island. About 50 trout were placed in each lake. There was some lost in handling, he reported, but it is believed that all the fish released were in excellent condition.
 None of the lakes planted had trout in them before. Holbrook said, but our studies indicate that the fish should do well in them. We will watch them carefully and if the experiment is successful prob ably more lakes will be planted next year"
 The Forest Service is experiment.

 Their victory in their nine-inning clach with the Islanders gave the Moose a full game lead in the second half race, a lead which they will be called on to defend this evening when they meet the third place Elks in a game postponed from July 12.
 After four innings without being able to more than scratch Erskine'S hurling, the Moose went to the frcnt in the last of the fifth with two runs scored when, with one away. Grummett singled and was knocked home by a double eff the
 
 bat of utility man Jim Orme, fill ing into the Pap lineup in place of Joe Werner. Orme in turn was pounded across on a sharp hit by Blake. Blake, however. was held to first when he tripped over the bag, and moved ahead no further than second as the next two batters went down.
 Erskine was again untouchable during the next two frames, setting the Paps back on three straight whiffs in the seventh, but the Doug las finger was reached for the third and winning Moose run in the last of the eighth.
 Haglund was safe on an error to open the session. Fritz Sehmitz moved him to second with a sacri- flee. Then, after Snow had been retired, Joe NcNamee came up with his first hit in two games to rap Haglund across. McNamee himself was nipped going to second on the throw-in from center field
