CREAM SHIPMENTS SEIZED
RELEASED BY HEALTH DEPT

KETCHIKAN-Ket threat
ened cream shortage ended Friday
when Kaarlo ". Nasi, director Of
the division Of public health engi-
neering, received a wire from the
department of health at Juneau re-
leasing a shipment seized Monday.
As a result several groceries. res
taurants and other cream dispensers
were unable to obtain the product
and Ketchikan faced the prospect
of a serious lack of eream-local
diaries not producing it in sufficient
quantities 10 meet the demand.
Tests Necessary
The territorial department OF
health acted, Mr.. Nasi explained,
because Oregon cream was imported
without proper laboratory analysis
prior to distribution. This is neces-
sary before the health department
can permit the release of imported
milk products, Nasi said.
While Oregon cream is produced
in accordance with territorial reg
ulations, it must be tested on arri-
val to see that it does not have 100
high a bacteria count.
Oregon cream was found to have
a dangerously high bacteria count.
If samples of Mondays shipment
tested the same, the department
would have banned Importation of
cream from the states, Nasi said.
Now, Oregon cream can be i'm
ported here as long as it continues
to test favorably. Frequent tests will
be made this summer, Nasi said, and
sale of the cream will be prohibited
If its bacteria count rises above The
danger point.
Local Production

problem in Ketchikan," declared
the health investigator, lis to build
up the local production so impor-
tation will be unnecessary. We loob

Odlum's Incorporate indictment of
the penal system, is the story of a
newspaperman who is catapulted
into prison for attempting to expose
the corruption of gubernatorial
candidate. Any ring of hollowness
that it might otherwise have is
obviated by the skill with which it
is played. In addition to Cagney
and Raft, the studio dragged out it's
entire first team of convicts to give
the story force. They include STAN
ley Ridges, Victory Jory, Alan Bax-
ter, Make Rosenblum, etc, all
fellows with a fair for making
ugliness something to remember.
In spite of the fact that it is dis
posed to line up the audience on
the side of criminals and disorder,
Each Dawn Die" makes the barest
concessions to the fact that there
may be better prisons than the one
represented. Occasionally char
acter, brutally mistreated in the
namelesS prison which is the story's
locale. will make a reference to the
deslrability of transfer to more
civilized institution, but it all is in
the nature of an aside In the main,
Mr.. Odlum is followed to the letter
with spasmodic comedy relief pro-
vided in the observations of Rosen-
blum with reference to penitentiary
life.
The main idea is that Cagney and
Raft shall have uninterrupted op-
portunity to show that there is more
honor among thieves, and circum-
stances victims, than among the
supposedly honorable men who di-
rect corrective institutions.
Director William Keighley does
splendid job of sticking to that
theme.
Midsummer Affairs" is the theme
of the vaudeville program which
helps return the audience to nor
malcy after seeing the Earle's fea-

Blondes Vacation
Provides Comedy
At METROPOLITAN

Blonde Takes q Vacation" the
third in the series of comedy trifles
about the Dagwood Bumsteads, is
the new picture at the Metropolitan.
That's about all we can think of to
say for or against it. 1t is something
solely for loyal admirers of the
family and it should by them be
found satisfactory diversion.
This new adventure of Blonde
penny Singleton) Dagwood (Arthur
Lake., Baby Dumping LARRY
Simms) and Daisy Daisy lacks the
freshness and spontaneity of the
first Blonde" but so did the second
one so this probably is a late date to
bring that up. 1t does seem, though,
that some new comedy sequences
could be thought up to take the
place of Daisy's dash after the
morning paper and the mailman's
downfall every time Dagwood dashes
out the front door.
This time the little family group,
as you might guess from the title,
goes on a vacation. A resort hotel
owner who is the villain, some
skunks, an arsonist and blaze
which almost burns up Baby Dump
ling are involved. And much of this
is amusing-amusing enough even
If it isn't more than mildly amusing.
The rest of the bill includes a
comedy (to use the word loosely
with the Three Stooges, If that's any
inducement, and, for contrast, a
short subject which is entertaining.
It's about circuses. There also is a
short about music by Russ Morgan

Power.Henie Film
At Columbia

Second Fiddle" the Tyrone
PoWer-Sonia Henie picture which is
chiefly notable for the fact that it
satirizes those publicity department
romances which its principals
played in real life just a couple of
years ago, returned yesterday to the
Columbia. The opportunity for
irony which also reaches out
toward the casting of Scarlett
O'Hara in Gone With the Wind
is not fully developed, but within
the limits of its tolerant attitude
toward HOLLYWOOD, the picture is
not without its points.
Miss Henie, heretofore assumed to
be helpless without a script which
provides her with an opportunity to
skate, is given opportunity to be a
dramatic actress throughout a
large area of the story of Second
Fiddle" In only a couple of Sc
quences, both tastefully managed,
does she indulge her speciality.
The music of Second Fiddle,
which is hit parade stuff as every
one knows, is handled by Rudy

Another War Is Seen
On Trans.Lux Bill

There's even novelty in the news
reel shots of war this week. The
same difficulties are still brewing
before the same cameras, but the
boys now have investigated that
magnitudinous feat of the Japs and
Russians. On the Trans-Lux screen
are pictures of that war the boys
kept hidden for so long. Mostly
they are pictures of prisoners being
shaved and fed, but they do prove
there is war over there. And from
Lake Placid, to change the subject
as much as possible, there are shots
to prove that Sonia Henie is not the
only whiz on ice skates, there being
some experts at the International
Ice Carnival.
So to change the subject right
back to warfare again, the United
States tries out new tanks prior to
the war games, builds a mammoth
new gun prior to any coast defense
that may be necessary, Great Britain
launches a new torpedo boat, the
Polish air force maneuvers. Other
events reported by the rowing
cameras cover such a varied scene
as Frances gift of a hunk of Syria
to Turkey, Mrs. Clyde Beatty tanning
some of hubby's lions, $4,000, 900
worth of jade arriving here for safe
keeping, forest fires, girls learning

Zanuck Says
Steinbeck
Film Sure
Grapes of Wrath
Script Is Ready,
Is Report
HOLLYWOOD

aoLL1 WOOO.
Grapes of Wrath" is still the
subject of a Hollywood whispering
campaign and has been ever since
Twentieth Century-Fox bought
screen rights to the story It'll
never be produced" run the stealthy
rumors. THE bankers ordered
Daryl Zanuck to buy and put it on
the shelf for protection-so no other
studio could film it," Repeated
denials from zanuck have failed to
flag them down and today-within
a few weeks Of the productions
scheduled start-they'Te as pre-
valent as ever.
Latest movie word on this con-
troversial novel of migrant Okla
homans in California is that the
script was finished a few days ago
by Nunnally johnson and turned
over to author John Steinbeck for
approval, as originally agreed upon.
The 4l8-page novel was cut to $50
pages of script, with all the SYM
phonic interludes eliminated, along
with many unimportant characters
and situations-among them the
ageless turtle so vividly described
in the first chapters and the helter-
skelter crookedness of the used car
lot. johnson claims Grapes of
Wrath proved one of the easiest
adaptation jobs he ever tackled for
the screen, declaring, 1T wrote it.
ri, otrrl~
narrative tale, wherein the fit sur
vive, the weak fall by the wayside
and the incompetent wander Off"
Zanuck is still much up in the
air with his casting problems. He
complains happily that every one
in the United States is trying to
make the choices for him. His chief
worry is about Alice Brady, whose
physical condition may not permit
her to take the strenuous key role
of Ma Joad. Zanuck is known to
have set his heart on Alice for the
assignment. pointing to her hardy
pioneer mother roles in both TN Old
Chicago" and Young Mr.. Lincoln"
as substantial proof that she would
be the ideal choice If Alice isn't
available then the plum will almost
certainly fall between Beulah Bondi
and Aline MacMahon. Henry Fonda
is still top choice for Tom Joad and
the philosophic preacher finds both
Walter Brennan and John Cara
dine waiting anxiously to win the
nod.
Meanwhile, another Steinbeck
enigma apparently is being whipped
at the Hal Roach Studio, where "Of
Mice and Men has been getting a
great going-over for the past three
months. Repeatedly, its greatly
tanned film script has been treated
to purity seal by the Hays office
and nothing now remains but the
choice of cast before the starting
bell can be gonged.
One major change in the revised
story is the substitution of a bird
for the mouse which the giant
half-wit Lennie of the play took
such fiendish delight in fondling g.
But this won't necessitate a shift
in the title for, as Director Lewis
Milestone points out, mice had
nothing to do with the title, anyway.
Kibitzers declare Burgess Mere
dith will play George, the role that
carried Wallace Ford to such a
smashing triumph on Broadway last
season and that Betty Field is a
cinch to play the girl wife of loose
morals. Lon Chaney's son, Creigh-
ton, who travels Hollywood's byways
as Lon CLANCY, jr." has been signed
to play the hulking Lennie.
