into the address after it had been
written.
He used again his reference to "yes
but people" to describe those who
object to progressive" Government
policies
"Of course, some are not even yes
but people," he added. for 1 notice
that one Of the candidates on the
Democratic State ticket this year is
nationally known as q Republican"
Mr.. Murray unsuccessfully opposed
Mr.. Roosevelt for the Democratic pres
idential nomination in 1882. In 1896,
he introduced Mr.. Landon in a speech
here. He now is seeking the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination.
The President gave Senator Thomas
credit for congressional approval of
an appropriation for the Grand River
Dam project" in Oklahoma.
"Misinformed," Says Smith.
Representative Smith called the
Presidents address a fine speech"
Il think the President was little
misinformed about Oklahoma politics.
especially about the effectiveness of
Senator Thomas in getting the Grand
River Dam Authority through Con-
gress," he said. "Of course, when q
man is $500 miles away from home
you can allow for little misinforma-
tion, especially when he's in the hands
Of . man who wants to use him."
Thousands Of Oklahomans braved
90-degree heat to pack the State fair
grounds and line streets along Mr..
Roosevelt's route.
The bunting -draped grandstand
was expanded to accommodate IS, 200
persons and Mayor Frank Martin es-
timated $1,000 more fought for stand
ing room.
Another 100000, the mayor esti-
mated, tried to see the President ON
the streets. Five Comanche Indians
brought q cheer from the stands when
they arrived in costume carrying lit
erature boosting Senator Thomas. One
wore a card pinned to his doeskin
jacket: "Comanche County is for
Elmer, too"
Mr. Roosevelt paused on his journey
through Arkansas and Oklahoma
today to demonstrate his friendliness
for administration supporters in Con-
gress.
At Shawnee. Okla, he joked with
an estimated crowd Of $4,000 persons
that overflowed the railway yards.
On the rear platform with him when
he appeared were Gov. Marland and
Senator Thomas.
Il am in the middle Of distinguished
company" the President said, the
Governor Of your State, both United
States Senators and several Congress-
men,"
Representative Lyle Boren of Semi
mole introduced Senator Thomas, who
introduced the Chief Executive.
II wish to introduce my small boy,
Elliott" said the President, indicate
ing his son who stood beside him.
Elliott and have inferiority COM
plexes, Is we are the runts Of the
family. am feet !, and Elliott is
8 feet z"
The crowd roared with laughter.
Il am glad to be here. I am glad
to see the progress this great State
has made, when I remember that
when I was boy this State was
known as Indian Territory.
Il remember seeing pictures in the
magazines Of thousands Of people
lined up on the border waiting for
the bugle to blow to open this State
to settlement. I hope to return
again" -
One citizen who later said he want
ed to shake the hand of the Presi-
dent was hustled of through the
crowd when he approached the plat.
form and tried to shake hands.
At Wister, Okla, Mr.. Roosevelt
amused the crowd BY telling them

Faces" which took it's first local bow yesterday.
 AS an amateur rube detective, Joe can get in plenty of trouble, and his current story finds him in just such a role. He gets mixed up with a wholesale shipment of metro politian gangsters quite by accident and in no time at all the situation is well out of hand.
 Such able and attractive perform CTS as Lyda Roberti, Alison Skip worth, Jane Wyman. Alan Baxter Lucien Littlefield, Berton Church. ill., Barbara Pepper and Sidney TOler do much to enhance the gen. eral merriment. It is a well stocked cast.

"ALCATRAz"
 FILM ENDING AT COLISEUM
Production Stars John Litel, Ann Sheridan and
 Mary Mcguire

fmerica's most widely publicized penitentiary, that Big Rock" situ- ated in the chill waters of San Fran cisco Bay, is brought to the motion picture screen for the first time in "Alcatraz Island" thrilling Cos mopclitan melodrama which War her Bros present for it's final show ing tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Grim but fascinating is this story of men who live outside the law, and of the men whose duty it is to apprehend and convict them. Every moment is loaded with thrills as this drama moves swiftly to an unex- pected and exciting climax.
 But "Alcatraz Island" is more than story of crime vs law and order It also carries a splendid human story of love-both ronan- tic and parental-and of exciting adventure on the mainland.
 John Litel is featured as a racketeer who is. despite his busi- ness, rather likeable. Income tax evasion catches, up with Litel just as it did with Al Capone and other real-life racketeers. Gordon Oliver, a government attorney, procures his conviction. He is sent first to Leavenworth. There. in a fight with lesser gangster which is forced upon him. he is pronounced incor- rigible and transferred to Alca- traZ

 Everything Special
 Fred came in by way of Paris He was here selling hats of Flu ropean houses. His family includes five famous doctors, but blood makes Fred's hair curl. So he tried to sell hats to John, and John said You're wasting time. Those hats must have been made for horses We could make better ones.' So they opened their shop in 1880. In three months they were employing 20 workers.
 They sell hats for $35 up. All the time they work, they look like two young men ready to board a de- luxe liner for a vacation. Every thing they wear is designed and made especially for them. Even the fabrics of their suits. The ef- feet isn't race-track; it's just diff ferent.
 Customers come in, sit at little dressing tables and John twists fabrics about their heads until he gets a shape he likes. If he can work in some brown he's lan- guidly approving. He's introduced three new shades of it.
 Most fun the boys ever had was the time Marlene Dietrich came in and sat for 56 hats. They gave her one of the chain rings they designed and give only to favorite people. It's like a wide wedding ring with tiny fins that stand up all around it. They both have one Johns is made of sapphires. Ht says he wears it for evenings.

NEW YORK-John Frederics, Inc, is two bored-looking boys who pioneer in a gilt-edged way design ing hats for ladies.
 They started in 1880. Now they call out the limousine to roll the few blocks to the office, and crab about their current lou-zay cook.
 They turn out little $50 num- bers for women like Mrs. Harrison Williams (tops in fashion,. Pretty soon everybody wants a copy. and the boys are averting their eyes wearily from the bargain basement editions the trade is shoveling out.
 Dent Bother About It
 John is 31; Fred, 29. And don't bother about the last names. Few do. Perfect strangers call them John and Fred. John is short, graceful. brunei. Fred is tall, thin blond. They're both dead pan.
 A few years ago they designed a felt hat for a girl in a cigarette ad Stuck a long, impertinent quill into the band at the last minute, and sent it on its way. The ad ap- peared in magazines. Pretty soon the cigarette company was per spring over a flood of letters. And the letters asked, not where to buy cigarettes, but where to get that hat
 The boys cashed in on another craze like that. They put a buckle on a felt hat. Nothing else. In theiI minds eye they saw ladies from here to Guam demanding buckled hats. So they got royalty contract from the buckle makers. Buckle business jumped to carload propor- tions John and Fred collected
 High Class Garbage"
 John says they're the only de signers who can put garbage or hats and sell them. He raises his right eyebrow and adds, High class garbage"
 | Their garbage" is old fabrics old ornaments. They say old fab rics are richer in color and better woven.
 John started the business. His mother Mime. Laurel, was New York milliner for 40 years. So Johr had hats at his finger tips. He made them for girls at school. But his father insisted he go into business He was floor-walking in a big Phil adelphia store when he rebelled. Ht walked bang off the floor into the workrooms and made hat. He car cut, sew, pin.

CAFE SOCIETY
 IS ABOUT READY
 PUBLIC SHOWING
New Musical Composition by Fred Grofe Has
 Private Rendition
By GEORGE TUCKER

l NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-"Cafe So- ciety" is about ready. We were privileged to sit on the composition of the last movement of this latest suite by Frede Grofe, who sometimes i likes to indulge the whimsy of hav- ing factory whistles blow and chains clank in his musical com- ! positions
 ] They did this in Metropolis" In "Grande Canyon Suite" you get the ! pitapat of donkeys coming down the trail. From Mississippi" is the color and excitement of Madri Gras in New Orleans. And now, in Cafe Society" Ferde Grofe has painted a musical picture of an integral part of New York life. ! You know what cafe society in 1 New York is, of course. It is most lily conglomeration of snobs, wis., iting royalty. and upper-drawer so- cial swains and swainettes who like to gather and be seen in the better 1 cafes and restaurants.
 And so Senor Grofe, who hasn't drop of Spanish blood in his veins, has a broad canvas to sketch. He has peopled it with swell lot of characters, each fitted to a tune, and the finished product is bit of
 New York that everybody who knows this town will easily recog- niZe. 4~
 Among the various movements is the. Ballet of the Drinks" and
 the drinks identified are cham
 pagne, rye and ginger ale; gin, and scotch and soda.
 I We are especially interested in
 this movement for MT. Grofe was kind enough to ask us for an opin-
 ion on how the gin should be
 treated and our suggestion was ac- cepted and utilized. The cham paigne, of course, will be a waltz Then comes the rye and ginger ale,
 which will be a gayotte. And the scotch and soda will incorporate a suggestion of scottish bagpipes, or reel, to be heard in the back ground, It was the gin that puzzled MT. Grofe who hasn't drop of French blood in his veins, and we suggested that in-as-much as he wanted the movement to be as
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-10-06

varied as possible he should treat it in the low-down, moaning blues manner of Gulf wharf scene. This he has done, and now Cafe So- ciety" is done ready for it's pre- miere.
 The latest Grofean exercise. which will run about 25 or 30 minutes, takes in the full sweep of metropolitan cafe. There are the naughty walters, the cigarette girl the hat-check girl. Visiting royalty comes in. The highbrows saunter to their tables and are seated. Too come honeymooning couple, and the heavyweight champion with his manager and retinue of pugil- ism's followers, asking for auto graphs.
 In an exubrious moment the Champ seizes the bride and em- braces her. The groom punches the Champ in the jaw. and kayoes him They take the Champ out, feet first, to the strains of dirge. It goes on like that through eight or nine movements. If you know your Grofe you have an idea what this is to be like.
 And about the time you are read ing this it will be having it's pre- miere in Chicago. Grofe himself will direct. And of course, of that premiere master record will be made.
 I certainly aim to get copy oi it, too.
