and original romantic. comedies seen
here in some time.
The story is that of a flippant

the too eager admirer, he persuades
his publisher to send him on lee

meets Nancy, small-town girl.
Casually inviting her to seek his
help should she ever get into trou-
BILE in New York, he forgets all
about her, only to find her waiting
at the penthouse apartment he
shares with his friend. the publish
er, upon his return. The ensuing
complications provide some Of the
fastest and merriest comedy seen
this season.
Janet Gaynor is excellent as the
small-town girl who puts her trust
in the one-too-reliable hands of her
newly-found metropolitan friends
Montgomery plays the debonair no.

CANADIAN GROUP
TO- OFFSET BAD
ALASKA PUBLICITY
Films, Lectures, Slides Be.
. fore Club Gro
Used as Medium

Canadian National Railway is
flinging all the resources of its
publicity and advertising depart
ments into publicizing Alaska
throughout the United States and
Canada more completely than it
has been done heretofore. Through
the aid of motion pictures, lecture
tours and illustrated talks, Cana
dian National will, in addition to
stimulating its own busine SIS
through this medium, endeavor to
counterfeit much adverse publicity
which has been given the Terri
tory through misinformation, both
inadvertent and deliberate.
An important factor in the trans
portation company's program is the
work of Hamilton H. Jones, pub
licity and advertising representa-
tive of the company, who has been
in the Interior for the past few
weeks making motion pictures, spe-
officially in the territory, which is
served by the White Pass and Yu-
kon Railroad Mr. Jones arrived
In Juneau aboard the Prince Ro-
bert and will spend the next week
in this neighborhood.
There is little doubt" Mr.. Jones
said this morning, that the fact
that lack of understanding of AL
aska and her problems has led to
serious curtailment not only of the
tourist business but. equally i'm
portant, that it has precluded the
investment of outside private capt.
tai which should be pouring into
the Territory and to which this
country is rightfully entitled.
To Set Out True Facts
Canadian National" he said, sis
going to try to set this condition
right. Although, the scenic objec-
tives of the pictures we have made
are of great Importance we also
are trying to stress the advances
made in economic conditions and
in business enterprises, large and
small. There has been much writ
ten about Alaska by persons who
have little or no authority for the
things they say, by people who fly
in and out, see the country in
three or four short weeks and then
sit down and try to tell the pub
lie how much they know about this
last frontier IS - Cd
Mr.. Jones, who is staying at the
Baranof Hotel, is working with Is
nm. equipment, using Eastman
Kodachrome film, which will en-
able people to see Alaska in all
its natural beauty.
On his return to headquarters in
Montreal his films will be assem-
bled and edited and Mr.. Jones will
then set out across the United
States and Canada, lecturing be-
fore various organizations n d
showing his pictures before count
less thousands of persons for about
six months. 2&. ~
While he is in Juneau he will at
tempt to make pictures in the AL
aska Juneau mine, although he is
doubtful of the results inasmuch
as the lighting problem would in
volve a prohibitive expense. He viii,
however, cover the Taku and Men
denhall Glaciers as part of his
assignment, and plans in his lee
lures to emphasize progress in the
dairying and farming industries in
and around this neighborhood.

Accompanied by 18 members Of

committee, Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, president of the Board Of
Education, journeyed to Balti-
more today to inspect the Baer
School to obtain new ideas on
how to care for handicapped chill
Idren here.
The Baer School and the Chill
dren's Hospital for crippled chill
dren in Baltimore provide that
city with what educators believe
is an ideal plant for aiding the
children.
DR.. Frank w. BaIlou's report
disclosed that in his opinion the
schools are meeting their obliga-

here and that the teaching Of
those with defective visions "pre-

that those suffering from non
communicable tuberculosis are be-

BOOKING AGENT

Underworld Suspected
In Killing

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 G.N.S0.
The execution" of theatrical
booking agent in approved gang
land style gave Brooklyn police
a mystery to work on today which
bore all the marks of an under
world killing.
The victim was identified by
an automobile drivers license in
his pocket as Paul Gleason, IS,
of Astoria, L. l., who came to
New York recently from Chicago
to open a talent booking office.
SHOT FACING WALL
Apparently he had been COM
PEELED to stand facing the wall
Of q garage by his murderers and
killed with q single shot, fired at
close range into the base OF his
brain.
Robbery was eliminated as a
motive when slightly less than $40
was found in his pockets.
The body was found in a snow
bank, but prints in the snow and
DlOOQSLalnS OH GuG Bd1 age uOO1
told how the execution was carried
out.
SEEK WOMAN CLUE
The spot where the body was
found was some Is feet from the
garage, down a Sloped driveway.
Apparently the man either had
been led down the driveway and
dropped into the snowbank or had
staggered that far before death
came.
The Staying was reminiscent Of
the St. Valentines Day murders
In Chicago, when eight mobSters
were stood up against a garage
wall by rival gangsters and moved
down.

ROYALTY TR0D
DECKS OF Big
STEAMER HERE
Prince Robert in Last Eve
ning-Carried King
and Queen

Fit for king the Canadian
National steamhip Prince Robert
which was in port last night with
1855 passengers, including 1875 on the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
goodwill tour, hasn't quite got over
its recent contact with royalty.
1t was the Prince Robert which
carried King George and Queen
Elizabeth of England from Victoria
to Vancouver, B. c., just week
ago yesterday. Escorted by four de-
stroyers of the Canadian Navy the
ship set a new record for the pas
sage, three hours and ten minutes.
During the crossing, the King and
Queen remained in the glass-en-
closed observation room forward,
having luncheon there win their
party of eight and taking a lively
interest in the scenery, according
to Purser A. H. tBerD Robson.
Gold Cuff Links
Capt. Harry E. Nedden was pre-
sented to their Majesties, receiving
as a gift pair of solid gold cuff
links, each of which is engraved
on one side with CIR" for George
Rex and the other with Err" for
Elizabeth Regina.
Though only so passengers were
aboard the Prince Robert during
the trip, the docks at both Victoria
and Vancouver were crowded with
virtually all the residents of those
two places on departure and ar
rival.
Robson described the King and
Queen as most gracious persons.
Back Tomorrow
Fresh. from its winter overhaul
at Vancouver and bearing all the
fresh. paint and high polish befit-
ting a royal vessel, the Prince Ro-
bert arrived in Juneau at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and docked at
the City Wharf, departing at IL
O'Clock for Skagway. The big ship
will be back tomorrow southbound.
The Prince Robert begins its
regular summer schedule next week,
returning to Juneau June 81 on its
Vancouver Ketchikan Sitka Jul
neau-V Vancouver run.
Only passenger for Juneau on the
Prince Robert was Roy M. Winslow,
Assistant Manager Of the Canadian
Fish and Cold Storage Company at
Prince Rupert.
