BARRYMORE E HERE SUNDAY,
 10TH CENTURY
The Great Profile" Has Good Cast Supporting
 We'll Known Star

John Barrymore is trying to give credit where credit is due but, so far, he has been unable to locate the person to whom he can give full credit for nicknaming him "The Great Profile. !"
 During the filming of "The Great Profile" which stars him and comes to the 20th Century Sunday, the question arose as to who had bestowed this fanciful appellation upon him. From story then mak- ing the rounds, most people were under the impression that he him. self coined this title. It seems that when Barrymore was playing com edy in his early youth he is said to have announced that he was giving it up to go into heavy dra- ma because, as he was supposed to have put it, "I have great profile"
 Barrymore destroyed this legend and disclaimed all credit. On the set of The Great Profile" Barry more was certain that he had nothing to do with origination of his nickname.
 Its good story he said, "ex- cept that it isn't quite true. How eyer. I will assume credit for it until they dig up the man who first hung it on me-
 Supporting Barrymore in The Great Profile" is brilliant cast including Mary Beth Hughes, Gregory Ratoff, John Payne, Anne Baxter and Lionel Atwill. Walter Lang directed and Raymond Grif- fifth was associate producer.

 CAR0lE LOMBARD STAR IN NEW FILM Ell!
Capitol to Show "Mr. and Mrs. Smith Comedy
 of Domestic Debate


 The troubles of young married couple who find they aren't mar ried after all, comprise the basis of MT & Mrs. smith, the new comedy vehicle for Carole Lom- bard and Robert Montgomery which opens Sunday at the Capi- tol Theatre. a
 Three years of contented quar- relling and domestic debate have made the time pass pleasantly for the Smiths, but have done noth- ing to prepare them for the shock of learning that their marriage is not valid-that they are quite free to marry anyone the wish, in- dividually and severally!
 On hearing the news, Mrs. Smith assumes her husband will at once remarry her, but. he happens. to have an ill-timed sense of humor that impells him to postpone the wedding bells, not knowing that she knows about the surprise. As a result she turns the tables on her husband, and his law part Tner enters the lists as candidate for the lady's hand, making the twosome into a triangle. The en- suing complications lead up to the pictures hilarious climax, and are said to make MT. & Mrs. Smith one of the years gayest offerings
 Besides the two stars, the cast includes Gene Raymond top-fea- tured as the partner. and Philip Merivale. Jack Carson, Lucille Wat son, Betty Compson, Esther Dale and Charles Halton. Alfred Hitch- cock, the distinguished British di- rector, directed the production for RKO Radio from Norman Krasna $ original screen-play.

YUKON BRINGS
 EIGHT PERSONS
 FROM WESTWARD

Arriving from the Westward at 9 o'clock this morning, the steamer Yukon brought eight passengers to Juneau and remained in port only long enough to permit a group of Juneau residents to board, sailing south at 9:30 o'clock.
 Those coming here were Fred Ol- son, George Sohn, Jean Potter, Sam Besoloff, E. M Ray, Albert Jack, l.. King, Ivan Darnell.
 ThirJy-four persons, including the Pencovic wanderers, who carved a new notch in Alaska's totem pole by attempting unsuecessfully to walk from Hazelton, B. O.. to Skag- way, sailed for the south today on the steamer Yukon.
 Passage. money for the Pencovic party, including Dr. and Mrs. F. H Pencovic and their two children, and the doctors secretary, Ruth Alic Britzell, and his assistant, ? Edward Griffith was paid by the Territory. They arrived in Juneau last week, destitute and cisgusted. They were still disgusted when they left, pr. Pencovic declared, although their destination had been relieved to some extent by Pencovic's gamb- ling.
 The gambling relieved the De- partment of Welfare of tn groom and board bills, which the depart ment had been paying, it being felt that anyone who can afford to gamble can afford to pay his living expenses. However, an anonymous Juneau resident paved the partys expenses yesterday.
 "All I want to do is to get back to the States Pencovic said People are hypccrites. l Pencovic and Griffith were assigned to steerage accommodations aboard the vessel, the women and children travelling first class. Total passage expense by Alaska's tax paying "hypocrites' to get the Pen c5yics out of town came to $166. 1 Also leaving on the steamer were the following from Juneau:
 To Petersburg-C. B. Owsley, A E. Glover, Mrs Thomas Evenson s. L. Johnson. George A. Durnford J, R. Lynch.
