EPITOME OF GRACE
When you analyze the Sonia
Henie talents, they sift down to
q most engaging smile, whole
some, honey appearance, 10
cents worth of acting ability
and a billion dollars worth OF
grace and skill when she laces
up her skating shoes.
In Happy Landing" she has
a breezy story that holds your
interest, between the ice balletS
and the amazing toe spinning
feats of the star on a skating
surface.
Producer Zanuck wisely backs
up his gliding gold mine with
the best of studio talent. There
is, for instance, Cesar Romero,
who plays the role of a crackpot
orchestra leader, slightly girl
crazy. There is Don Ameche, to
carry the brunt of the love in
tereSt, Ethel Norman to sing
the rhythm tunes, such reliableS
as Jean Hersholt, El Brendel and
Billy Gilbert to help out the
comedy.
Story was probably inspired
by the Harry Richmond-Dick
Merrill transatlantic flight. At
any rate it has an orchestra
leader and his pilot-manager
starting on a nonstop from New
York to Paris with their ping
pong loaded wings being forced
down in Norway.
There they meet the little
Norwegian, Trudy Erickson, who
speedily falls for the sappy Duke
Sargent. He goes back to Amer
lea, but Trudy follows him to
New York. Soon she is estab-
lished as a skating marvel by
Jimmy Hall Don Ameche), and
1t takes four reels more for
Sonia to discover it is Don
Ameche she loves, and not the
the tickle maestro, played by
Cesar Romero.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 19.-- Paul Sorenson, Superintendent of the -Chichagof gold mine, in Southeast Alaska, who is visiting this section of Alaska, said the wage and hour bill will work a serious hardship in Alaska mining
 The wage and hour bill is ef- fective in October and applies to Alaska, Sorenson said, just as if the Territory was a State.
 Sorenson said the provision linn iting working hours to A hours a week is one of the objectionable features of the bill as the earning powers of miners will be so dim inished they will no longer be attracted to live in bleak mining camps where they will be compelled to spend two idle days in the bunkhouses."
