activities take place during the Rendezvous. Native dances, Eskimo ball games hockey teams, fancy skaters and a ground finale called the blanket toss" The blanket toss is a thrilling sport practiced almost exclusively by Eskimos. A huge blanket made of sealskin is grasped by several of the males while the victim" lays in the cen ter. Then by a series of maneuvers the Eskimo is thrown high into the air, many times to a height of 20 feet and more-his object being to land on the blanket again without being hurt. The Eskimo able to turn over in mid-air and land on his feet is considered the champion At the least he is cer- tainly agile and must be the pos sessor of clever foot work to avoid a broken foot or sprained ankle.
 The Eskimo activities are only part of the huge winter carnival which is rapidly becoming the most popular winter event in the West ern northland. Primarily the Ren- dezvous is held, to sell the winter catch of Alaskan fur trappers to any and all bidders. But the car nival atmosphere of the Rendez- vous draws Alaskans and tourists from hundreds of miles around as well as from the States.

PARIS FILM l5 FEATURED AT
 CAPITOL NOW
Joan BIondeII and MeIvyn Douglas Star in Com
 edy Attraction Here

Comedy in the continental man. her, smart and sophisticated. Co., lumbia's Good Girls Go to Paris" is. paradoXically, the most original and completely American laugh fest of the year. The film which ends tonight at the Capitol Thea tre, co-stars Melvyn Douglas and Joan Blondell the brilliant prin- cipals of the sensational There's Always a Woman
 Good Girls Go to Paris" finds it's major entertainment values in the affairs of a young English man, professor of Greek at a mid western university, who finds in the AeSop fables the answers to the many perplexities he encoun- ters in American life; and in the escapades of a pert, blonde wait resS who has every intention of going to Paris but whose conSci- ence prevents her from going via the gold digger route. Good Girls Go to ParisS' is the story of a crotchety multi millionaire whose hypochondriac tendencies are van quished when the waitress comes to the rescue with a flannel stock ing; it is the story of a spoiled young woman, the Englishman's fi- ancee, who loves the buffers son. It is the story of a spoiled young man, and of a gigolo, and of a l gangster It is, in effect, the story which fits its cast like the prover- bial glove.
 MT. Douglas is ideally seen as the constantly bewildered profes- sor, willing confidential adviser to wouldbe golddigger Miss Blon- dell is equally enjoyable as the waitress with yen for travel. i Others in the fine cast are Wal ter Connolly, as the millionaire; Alan Curtis as the first of five who propose marriage to the hare brained blonde, in the uproarious final sequences of an uproarious film. Joan Perry and Isabel Jeans | almost merit applause for their brilliant comedy portraits.

It's no surprise. of course, to be told that such distinguished ex- ponents of the art of light comedy as Messrs. Young and Hunter, and Miles.

 After she and her young man agree to run away together, her whole family, not to mention some of the family friends, take a hand in the situation. and there are complications galore, not the least amusing of which is daughters young mans shocked indignation when no one in her family but her father seems to be properly shocked at what he thinks they should regard as shocking situ- ation. Namely, that he and his girl were running away.
 He's even shocked by his girl friend, but with the aid of her wise old grandmother, the girl eventually gains her objective, which seems to have been lawful wedlock all along, despite what she has said about il.
