new FEATURE
ON TONIGHT AT
10Th CENTURY
Latest 'HopdIong' Action
Romance, Wide Open
Town on Screen

A beautiful woman, master-mind
of a rustling band and crime bund
in frontier community, is the VII
lain - or villainess of the latest
"Hopalong" Cassidy action romance
Wide Open Town. which opens
tonight at the Goth Century.
The role is played by Evelyn
Brent, onetime top flight film star,
who has recently returned to pic
lures to play character parts. AS
Belle Langtry," proprietress of the
Paradise Saloon in the town of Gun
sight, she is seen as a cool and cal
culating beauty with a finger in
every criminal pie in the country
but not quite cool and calculating
enough to keep herself from falling
in love with the redoubtable Cas-
sidy, played by william Boyd.
Boyd, who comes into Gunsight
with his saddlemates Lucky" and
"California" to retrieve some cattle
stolen from his Bar 20 Ranch, finds
that he must engage in battle OF
wits with Belle before he can get
his cattle back, a state of affairs,
incidentally, which necessitates a
wholesale cleanup of the town of
Gunsight, which he performs in
typical "Hopalong" Cassidy fashion,
in some five exciting reels.
wide Open Town" also serves as
the vehicle in which Bernice Kay,
fifteen-year-old titian-haired
beauty, makes her screen debut.

CONTROL OFFICE
IS CRITICIZED
Secretary Of Alaska Sug-
qests Changes for
Improvement

Secretary of Alaska E. L. Bart
lett told members of the juneau
Chamber of Commerce al noon
meeting in the Baranof Hotel that
conditions now existing in the Sc
attic offfce of Civilian Traffic Con-
troll could be improved if a differ
ent procedure of securing permits
was adopted and if the office was
manned by officers familiar with
Alaskan communities.
Mr.. Bartlett, who has just re-
turned from trip to the States,
spoke from experience.
The Secretary proposed four
changes after qualifying his pro-
posals by saying that as Alaskans
I'VE are entitled to make sugges-
lions for improvements in this mat
ter"
First, he suggested that the Sc
attic office be put under the jur-
isdiction of the Alaska Defense
Command instead of the Western
Defense Command. Secondly, that
Alaskan officers who are familiar
with Alaskan communities should
be in charge OF the Seattle office.
Thirdly, that different method
be used in identifying oldtime AL
aska residents who wish to return
to the Territory. He suggests that
instead of sending applications to
Salt Lake City, San Francisco and
Washington, u. c., for approval IS
is the present system, wires be sent
TO residents home towns in Alaska
where ql lex information may be
obtained concerning the applicants
Finally, Mr.. Bartlett stated that
some means of speeding applications
of defense workers coming to the
Territory should be worked OUT
At present, he said, when group
of SO workers must wait two weeks
while permits are being secured
usually about Is are left when tine
time comes for departure.
Archie Shiels, president of Pa
cific American Fisheries, attended
the meeting and spoke briefly as

WASHINGTON-Mrs. Oveta Cup
Hobby, generalissimo of the newly
created Women's Auxiliary Army
Corps, is brave woman.
She comes from the land of the
Alamo, otherwise known as deep-in-
the-heart-o of Texas, where courage
is taken for granted, and women
are raised in the tradition of the
pioneers.
In 1886 she and her husband,
William Pettus Hobby, and Jesse
Jones, now Secretary of Commerce,
were injured in a burning plane
wreck at Ferris. Tex. The pilot was
killed
But she kept right on flying
flies home to Texas every time
she gets a chance, which is sell
dom.
Mrs. Hobby came to Washington
last August expecting to commute
between the capital and her home
in Houston. Her job as head of
the Women's Interest Section in
the War Department was supposed
to be a part-time job, but her fam
lily has been lucky to see her even
occasionally.
The family consists of her hus-
band, World War governor of Tex
as, who signed the Texas women's
suffrage bill; 10-year-old William
Jr., and 6-year- old Jessica. She and
her husband are co-publishers of
the Houston Post.

the head of the Women's Army
SO prettily feminine yet not flut-
terry, so poppy but not a pepper
pot. Her dark brown eyes shine
and her dark hair, rolled from her
face in a chic couture, shows just
that interesting amount of gray.

Her comfortable clothes are that
smart kind which indicate that any
uniform she had anything to do
with would be both smart and
becoming. People who know her
say she'll want tucks and darts in
the right places and probably will
encourage tailoring that's trim but
not militarily masculine.
Business men approve of her al
ready They agree that her mind
manages to budget details quickly
into definite pattern. She is one
of those smart careerists who al
ways seem to know the right
people at the right time. That,
perhaps, is her big secret for get
ting things done quickly.
Newspaper men who've worked
with her say she's one of the hard
est working folk they ever saw and
that she has a knack for getting
an equal amount of hard work out
of other people.
Lawyer, Too
She was the first woman in Tex
as TO be a member of flood con-
troll board. where she proved as
capable as she did in recognizing
the accounting system of her pap
er. She is a member of the Texas
bar, got her law degree from the
University of Texas.

cedure after she served as parlia-

She's had her turn as a gold

ity chests, a symphony orchestra

She decided to run for the state

homespun character smart enough
to play on the fact that his rural
voters spoke only simple language.
