A trifle testy and out of sorts because he wasn't asked sooner, Grover c. Vim, who calls himself "Juneau's outstanding liar con- sented today to take part in the Ananias Club session at the Elks Club on Wednesday evening.
 I'm a cinch for the prize" said Winn T have enough on every member of the Elks Lodge so that after I tell all, they'll have to de- clare me the winner by acclama- lien in order to brand the stories as lies
 Winn joined the ranks of would be lie champions along with Charles w Carter, Norman Banfield, George Gullufsen and Mayor Harry l. Lu- cas. They and dozen others all ready nominated will compete at the lodge meeting for what Ray Ward, Chairman of the event, calls "a valuable and appropriate prize. !"

MODERN THEME IN PICTURE NOW AT
 COLISEUM THEATRE

Priscilla Lane and Jeffrey Lynn for charm. and Roland Young, May Robson. Fay Bainter, Genevieve Tobin and Ian Hunter for laughs that's the dish of spicy entertain ment that was set before the pa irons of the Coliseum Theatre when Yes, My Darling Daugh- ter opened there yesterday
 The new picture, which was pro- duced by warner Bros, was adapted by Casey Robinson from Mark Reeds very successful stage play of the same name, and 1t more than justifies the pleasurable anticipation which was aroused when the Warner studio bought the rights to the play.
 AS in the case of every good screen adaptation of a stage suc- cess. the motion picture version of Yes, My Darling Daughter demonstrates that a good show can be even better when made into a film. Particularly is this true about a comedy of this type in which so much that is very amusing could only be told about on the stage but is actually de- picted in hilarious detail on the screen.

ally is listed as a multi millionaire His recent predecessors = Robert Bingham, Andrew w. M Hon Charles G. Dawes, AlanSon B Houghton and F. B. Kellogg = rarely had to patronize dime stores
 Our recollection is that Kellogg once remarked that the Ambassa dorship shook him down about S20,000 a year and he was not a free-spending man. We would bank on it that Kennedy isn't getting by with so little out of pocket. His S17,OOO salary and $50000 to $10,00G expense account wouldn't last him much past Easter.
 The three immediate prereces- sors of William c. Bullitt at Paris Jesse I. Straus, Walter E. Edge and Myron T. Herrick-also were wealthy men
 The outstanding early Ambassa- dor to Paris was Benjamin Frank lin. While he made himself fam ous with such slogans as "A penny saved is a penny earned" he, nevertheless, was one of the rich est men in the colonies and his wealth, along with his brains and old brown coat, contributed to his prestige abroad.

AN EXCEPTION

The three outstanding men of wealth" now or recently in dip lomatic posts are Kennedy, Bullitt and Joseph E. Davies. There were other candidates of wealth ready for the jobs, but these three were chosen as the cream of the crop and nobody in Washington is ready to doubt that they are good as dip lomats.
 All three are rich in their own rights while Davies fortune was supplemented few years ago by marriage to Marjorie Post Hutton, who startled Russia by moving to Moscow with 1000 pints of frozen cream to supply the embassy when Davies was appointed there Later, Davies was transferred to Bel gium; now he's doing special serv- ice in the State Department.
 It is a sort of half baked mys- tery why this government does not appropriate enough to finance it's Ambassadors at expensive posts. It may come about as the idea of career diplomacy is extended Eng land reputedly lays out $75,000 a year for expenses on it's Washing ton embassy, in addition to sal aries. The Japanese entertainment
 
 about $40,000.
 Receptions and dinners must be given and returned, for informa- tion and good will are gained that way. In smaller posts salaries will pay costs. That factor has led to a steady expansion of the career ser vice. Given it's primary boost by Secretary of State Hull in the

shared in a partnership unequalled in musical history. They met at the Moscow Conservatory and were married upon starting on their joint concert work.
 Charming Gladys Swarthout and her handsome husband, Frank Chap man, are familiarly known as "The Chapmans" to the devotees of the Metropolitan. Though they have been married for nine years, each is successful in his own right. Chap man gave up his career as a bari tone, for a while, to manage her opera and concert work.
 Lily Pons and Andre Kostelanetz are another case in point. That the marriage between the diva and the conductor is happy one can be ascertained by their continued suc- cess as one of the most harmonious duos on the musical platform.
 There are several other couples all musical, all artistic, all happy.

REALISM

DALHART, Tex, Jan. 29.-Fire Marshal O. w Raillard believes in making fire drills realistic. Recent ly he had his fire trucks driven silently to the school door and then suddenly opened up the fire siren. Bremen in helmets and rubber coats, bearing axes and dragging hose, dashed into the building. Some of the accustomed exits were block ed. stimulating fire conditions. Des- bite all this excitement, 440 students got out of the building in two min utes, five seconds.

SEARS TEAMED
 IN COMEDY AZ
 CAPITOL SHOW
Good Girls to Paris Is Now Playing as Local
 Film Feature

Like iced champagne. Good Girls Go to Paris" is a bubbly, sparkling concoction pleasant to the eye and to the taste. Like champagne, too, the Columbia comedy which opened yesterday at the Capitol Theatre with Melvyn Douglas and Joan Blondell CO., starred packs a punch of no mean quality. Its ingredients are many a basically sound and humorous story; scintillating dialogue; delft direction and thoroughly human characterizations.
 Douglas is ideally cast as an English professor of Greek, whose despairing difficulties with the free and-easy life of a midwestern campus are made the more com plicated by his sudden and un- willing role of confidential adviser to a pert, blonde young waitress with big ideas.
 The waitress, who is Miss Blon- dell, romps through Good Girls Go to Paris" with a gay abandon. She wants to see the Eiffel Tower, and that takes money College stu dents have money and she has every intention of suing one for breach of promise. Unfortunately for her predatory ambitions, and hilariously fortunate for Capitol Theatre audiences, the waitress also possesses a strong conscience.
 Her escapades on the campus finally eliminate in a scandal, and she is sent home by her pedantic adviser. Instead, the young woman journeys to New York, where she becomes involved with the family of the Englishman's fiancee.

SCHOOL CONCERT WILL BE HELD
 ON NEXT FRIDAY

Since the ever increasing use of Latin American rhythms is one of the main trends in the programs of the leading popular orchestras of the day, the Music department of the Juneau Public Schools feels hat the program planned for Fri day evening in the Grade School auditorium should meet with the approval of Juneau audiences. "Siboney" is being used for both the opening and closing numbers of the concert. It was felt that the rhythms of "Sibonsy" so perfectly set the mood of the evening, that it should be used to open and close the program in order to establish the desired continuity of the Latin American theme.
 Featuring "A Night in Cuba, 2 members of the Public School band and orchestra will present the fol- lowing program at the musical Fri day evening which is scheduled to start at 8 o'clock

There is not supposed to be much aarmony in musical marriages. Somewhere, the idea got around that a marriage of this kind hasn't the ghost of chance. Yet there is little truth to it.
 When lovely Marta Eggert, con- tinental opera and screen star, an- nounced her marriage to Jan Kiep- ura, lyric tenor of the Metropolitan, the pessimistic fraternity said that the two singers would eventually split because of their careers. The marriage has lasted five years and the Kiepuras are now singing op- posite each other in Puccini operas.
 The Kiepuras represent only one in lengthy list of musical mar riages that have not only proved successful but beneficial to the stars individual careers. For over forty years Josef and Rosina Lhe- yinne, world-famous pianists, have
