 Miss Hayes and her father are reconciled now, but apparently she isn't going to need his help. RKO and its production chief, Berman, are quite excited about their discov- cry, who is 20 years old, with nice lines and voice.
 Best of all, she has a sharp- featured, mobile face that is more than typical of the earnest young actresses whom the studios seem to be fighting for these days. It probably won't be held against her that she looks something like Katharine Hepburn.

 Paramount is publicizing Patricia Morrison as "the brunei with the blond personality" I don't get the application at all, unless it's build- up for her current leading feminine role in ''The Magnificent Fraud"

THE BEACHCOMBER
 COMES TO STRAND
Charles Laughton and Elsa Lancaster CO=Starred;
 'Gunga Din Hooked

An outstanding program of screen sensational attractions will be in the offing for theatergoers attending Warmers Strand theater today and tomorrow.
 Spotlighting the bill is "The Beachcomer" starring that distin- guished actor Charles Laughton with Elsa Lanchester, his wife in private life, Tyrone Guerie and Ro- bert Newton.
 This film marks the highest point in the distinguished career of Laughton and according to critics he surpasses even his performances as Bligh in "Mutiny on the Bounty and as the celebrated painter in Rembrandt" He is cast in the role of Ginger Ted" an unique and interesting Characterization which he handles with the adroitness and finish which he lent to the parts he played in past successes.
 Based on a story by w. Somer- set Vaughan, the plot revolves around the fact that Ginger" has made himself a public nuisance on a tiny island in the Dutch Malay. His drunken escapades are a con- stant source of irritation to Miss Jones, (the missionary, and her brother, Dr. Jones, whose efforts to civilize the natives are blocked by Ginger" at every turn.
 It seems only natural that the missionary and her brother would try to reform Ginger" and that's where the hilarious comedy starts Fromthis point, the film concerns the amazing changes which takes place in the characters of Ginger and Miss Jones as their conflicting natures battle.
 Included on the same show as the co-feature will be a thrilling drama Secret Service of the Air" with Ronald Reagen in the starring role
 Starting Easter Sunday the Strand will present a special twin feature bill headlined by "The Okla homa Kid" starring favorite James Cagney with Humphrey Bogart Rosemary Lane and Donald Crisp.
 Amusement seekers who intend to see this action drama are in store for g surprise, for this picture offers a Cagney you've never seen before, but one that you'll want to see again
 It is against an altogether differ ent type of background than is generally associated with Cagney that the tough yet popular star displays in his new picture his in imitable gift for lusty, he-man

HARRISON IN HOLLYWOOD
Hollywood Ballyhooing Two Lovelies Recruited From Legitimate Stage
Corn Field First Theoter for Linda Hayes; Potricio Morrison Once Clothes Designer
BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Stan Correspondent

Hollywood - New faces: Linda Hayes came dangerously close to be- ing contest winner, and only the intervention of Producer Pandro Berman may have saved her from the jinx that gives so many people e glimpse at flicker fame before 1t snatches them back into oblivion.
 He hired her before the contest was over. Miss Hayes, under her real name of Rachelle Germano. has been appearing on that Gateway to Hollywood" radio pro- gram conducted by Jesse Lasky.
 She had bested about 100 other contestants in regional contest but hadn't reached the finals when RKO took her out of the running and gave her a contract. It also took her out of a job as hat-check girl in a San Francisco night club. BUT SHE'LL EAT
 WELL NOW
 This is not to say that Miss Hayes is green in the acting business The hat-checking was just an expedient because she was stranded in San Francisco after road company of within the Law" ended its tour there.
 "Td been stranded before," she said, three times by crooked pro- ducers who'd pull out and leave 8 show fiat. I'm an expert at starving, too. Once in Seattle ! went three days without anything to eat.
 "This time in San Francisco, I'd just about decided that father had been right when he opposed my going on the stage. Then a friend told me about the radio contest. said I'd tried three con- tests befare and that they were just publicity stunts. But she had a hunch that something might happen this time, and 1t did" CORN FIELD

 Four well-chosen numbers are sung by the star during the coursv of the picture. They are Invitation to the Dance," 'The Last Rose of Summer" La Capinera," and "Be- cause" It is not her singing alone that makes Miss Durbin's pictures screen events of the season. With out singing song she would prob- ably be voted one of the most pop ular actresses of the screen.
 As the second big feature the management will present a stirring drama of two plain, honest kids who wanted to only live and love en- titled Let Us Live" starring Maureen O'Sullivan, Henry Fonda, and Ralph Bellmay.
 The third big attraction brings the favorite of young and old alike Popeye the Sailor in his latest double-length cartoon Aladdin an his Wonderful Lamp" This special feature is termed as being twice as long, twice as funny and best of all in technicolor.
 Follow the big parade of spring hits atthe State. Tuesdays show brings another outstanding hit combination with John Garfield in Blackwell Island" and "Never Say Die" co-starring Bob Hope and Martha Rave. The big show you've been waiting for comes next Friday when Dodge City" starring Errol Flynn with Olivia de Havilland, Ann Sheridan and thousands of others makes its debut on the screen at the State. Sudden Money" with Billie Lee and Charlie Ruggles will be the second big treat.

It is said that this is a happy reminder of her initial offering Three Smart Girls" which followed by 100 Men and a Girl" Mad about Music" and That Certain Age" with preview audiences and critics hailing 1t as the best of the five.
 And now Deanna, who grows more adorable with each picture, brings you new joy and charm after being recognized as one of the best film actresses as well as the possessor of the most amazing voice ever heard on the screen.
 Among the important features of the picture is the fact that 1t pre- sents approximately the same cast of the first picture "Three Smart Girls" Deanna, Charles Winniger, Nella Walker, Nan Grey and Ernest Cossart with the addition of Helen Parrish, Bob Cummings and Will liam Lundigan. Incidentally many theatergoers have been anxiously waiting for the Misses Grey and Parrish to appear in these grown up roles.
 Deanna is seen as Penny Craig, who attempts to unsnarl the tangled love affairs of her two older sisters, with results both amusing and amazing. She appears a very rich girl, and she wears a wardrobe in keeping with her station in life. It is the first time she has ever been

S3O,24O Report

Plans for construction of tunnel
from the school grounds to the Ev-
egreen Bowl were turned over by the
Chamber of Commerce today to the
Juneau Board of Education.
Cost of the proposed tunnel, as de-
termined by a Chamber Committee
under Craftsmanship Of Wellman
Holbrook, would be $4,000 if it is
through gravel or $30,240 if through
rock. This cost would include facing
the tunnel with concrete, but does
not include lighting.
The proposed tunnel would be 48O
feet long and would take the average
person two minutes to walk through.
Tt would be seven feet wide.
1t was suggested by Holbrook that
the School Board might seek a
bond issue and set the project up
under the PWA.
Before the tunnel is built it has
been recommended that the city
obtain a long lease on the bowl.
