MEMORIES OF
 ALASKA ARE TOLD

"Dreams of today will be the realization of tomorrow" Such Is the reaction of a former Alas kan who travelled in Alaska the hard way about 20 years ago and who now lives in California and is most envious of modern ways of travel.
 The former Alaskan is Jean Dupertius and he is an uncle of Mrs. A. B. Morgan of Fairbanks. His present address is Atasca- dero, Calf. Mrs. Morgan is the office manager of Star Air Lines and early in May completed trip by air which took her from Fairbanks to Anchorage; from Anchorage to the KuskokWim. Nome, Kotzebue and as far north as Barrow.
 Writing to Mrs. Morgan, the former Alaskan said that when he travelled in the Seward benin sula and Arctic areas that he travelled on the coastWise schoon CTS, owned and operated by na- tlVeS with all their odors and dlscomforts. It wasn't a matter ot hours in those days and he told of walking across tundra with a pack on his back fighting mosquitoS. In the winter time he travelled by dog team, slowly crawling over the white wastes of the Arctic.
 Tt took me weeks to go to Barrow and back by dog team. You can do it in a few. hours. I dreamed of flying during the long, dreary day behind my dogs You are flying"
 MT. Dupertius was superintend ent of the Nome schools aJboaIt zo years ago and built some of the first government buildings in that region.
 The mention of names from that area brought back memories to MT. Dupertius. Memories
 
 somewhat dimmed by time.o He recalled Tom Christensen. a small boy at Tin City, just south of Cape Prince of Wales. q used to stop at his home every winter on my way north. Alma Carl son, a teacher at Film on Norton Sound, a new village of log hous es Tn a spruce forest"
 The mention of Kotzebue. Wal es, Deering and Wainwright are places which to MT. Dupertius recalled more memories. There IS a story or rather stories con- nected with each but they would take too long to tell"

themselves. Anyway, they made
show out of it, called Strip for Ac-
tion," and the authors, aided and
abetted by Oscar Serlin, produced
it Wednesday night at the National
Theater. Produced it on G-string,
you might say.
It's the kind of thing you may
have suspected it would be, with the
redeeming feature that it is a
burlesque of burlesque-just as vul-
gar in some of its lines, as elemental
in its humor and, in some of its
phases as dull, as an hurley show
you ever saw.
But there is plenty of occasion for
laughter-if you like to laugh at
such things-and certainly an ami
able f1rst-night audience laughed its
head off. The plot involved the
failure of one of the soldiers, former
first comic of the troupe who has
brought about the appearance of the
company to entertain his bunkies

the commanding general; the sudden
appearance of a sweet young girl who
had run away from school in pur-
suance of an ambition to follow her
mothers career as the first and
greatest of strip-teas artistes; the
temperamental antics of the regular
p-teaser; the effect of the girlies
of the company upon the soldiers,
who joyously pre-emp the stage dur
ing attempts at rehearsal; and the
schoolgirls ultimate refusal, when
at last the show is on, to get down
to her G-string, because her lover,
the soldier, first comic, calls to her
from the wings to desist.
He has learned that all the soldiers
believe that any girl who strip
leases must be a bad girl and it
sends him haywire. This particular
scene strikes at the heart, oh so
shrewdly, and it is so, so tensely
dramatic; you wouldn't believe it,
really.

and can reflect them with uncanny
reality.
For some reason on Tuesday night
the burlesque of Zorina and the
strip tease satire on Gypsy Rose Lee
aroused but thimbleful of enthu-
siasm. Here. it seems, was a chance
for the soldier dancer who imper-
sonated the ballerina to demonstrate
male skill in the applied arts of the
dance.
These are, after all, minor flaws
in an entertainment that must be
rated IS per cent superior by any
Broadway standard. The magni-
tude of the production is staggering
with SO truckloads of scenery and
costumes and a company which
overfows into the neighboring Pal

A voice answering the telephone

Such Is fame in Hollywood. Niblo
was once one of the biggest directors
in pictures. He handled Rudolph
Valentino in Blood and Sand,"
Douglas Fairbanks, ST., in The
Three Musketeers" and The Mark
of Zorro"
Then there was Ben Hur" and
"The Temptress," which made
Greta Garbo a star. He has been a
part of stage or screen for 40 years
and was once Hollywood's leading
masters of ceremony for visiting
dignitaries.
Finally located, Niblo laughed
heartily and agreed that Hollywood
was a place Of fast-changing perso-
nalities. 1t is also a place, as far as
he is concerned, where he can re-
main young and keep finger in the
acting pie. -~.- -.-~- -..
Niblo, officially retired, with money
in the bank, accepts roles because
it means a lot to remain in the
picture scene" At the moment he
was playing a ship captain role in
the Cary Grant-Ginger Rogers film,
Once Upon a Honeymoon. white

part.
This is a thoughtless business,
though" he said. "Not for me. be-
cause I don't have to worry. But it
is shame there is no place in
pictures for some of the old timers"
He mentioned several-Charles
Ray, for one, and Clara Kimball
Young.
They proved themselves fine ac-
tors. Don't tell me there's no place
for them. Clara Kimball Young-I
saw her the other day. Sure. she
may be older and fat, but Marie
Dressler was fat, too."
Niblo took another puff of his
pipe and concluded:

for older artists. It's pity Holly

Ballet Coming in November
Hurok Presents Ballet Theater Troupe
Two Nights With National Symphony

Two performances Of the Ballet
Theater combined with the National
Symphony Orchestra are announced
for November. Retaining the
skill and glamour Of traditional
Russian ballet while adding Amer
ican speed and precision to its pro-
ductions, the Ballet Theater is the
first "big league" ballet troupe in
the country to employ a majority of
American dancers. Some 40-odd
dancers born in a dozen different
States of the Nation, reinforced by
some OF the most important baller-
mas and soloists of Europe, will
perform here when the company be-
gins a two-day engagement at Con-
stitution Hall on November 18.
Since the Ballet Theater was
taken under the wing of the veteran
impressario, S. Hurok, it has reached
the top of the ballet ladder in a
remarkably short time. Determined
to build a ballet here of American
content that would vie with the best
troupe which the great Diaghileff
had ever developed, Mr.. Hurok re-
cruited from the various Russian
ballet companies leading dancers,
soloists, choreographers and paint
ers. He blended them with the out
standing American talent of the

The personal interview was most
cordial. Paulette Goddard, dressed
In q bright red suit and a cap with
. bill that perked over one eye,
came OF the set at Paramount
Studio after an amusing scene with
Ray Midland and plopped her 100
pounds of loveliness on a large box.
She was friendly, although never
loquacious.
Taboo in the conversation, of
course, was anything relating to
Paulette and Chaplin and, as a
matter Of fact, I wasn't interested
IN that weary point.
1t was just as we'll, too, because I
have just looked back in the files
Of Los Angeles newspapers and,
aside from few unimportant It'd
bits, all I found was a steady repe-
tition OF rumors and reports for
eight long years centered on the
one boresome topic-are they or are
they not man and wife? It must
have been as tiresome to Charley
and Paulette as it was to newspaper
readers.
It was along in 1892, however,
that Paulette, nee Levy or Levee,
born at either Great Neck or White
stone, Long Island, N. Y, in 1911,
nrst hit Hollywood, just lately shed
OF her first husband, a lumberman
named James of North Carolina.
Part Of a Line.
Paulette was just another chorus
girl with ziegfeld diploma. No,
she wasn't just another chorus gal,
as the years would prove, because
soon she was being seen around
Hollywood with Chaplin and Joe
Schenck and other influential peo-
pie, and soon the Chaplin Goddard
romance was going full blast and
Goddard was blasting away at her
career. She became Chaplin's lead
ing lady in Modern Times" and,
thanks to the Chaplin smartness
and Importance, she was as we'll
known by name as the reigning
stars OF the time.
It was during these earlier years
that Paulette used to phone the
studio and advise them whenever
she and Charley planned to be out
in public that night. The studio
in turn would notify newspaper and
magazine photographers. The pho
togs might not be interested in
picture Of Paulette alone, but with
Chaplin-that was different.
There were other roles, none of
much Importance, and then again
she played Chaplin's leading lady
in THE Great Dictator" accom-
panied by additional reams OF pub
licity.
The great C. works slowly and in
frequently, and it is possible that
La Goddard became impatient for
her career to get along. Anyhow,
the team broke and Paulette began
to paddle her own canoe. She's pad
died 1t into fortune and independ-
ence from the Chaplain genius.
Meets Public, Too.
Paulette was just about to leave
on her initial bond selling tour the
day I talked to her. Unlike others
In Hollywood. she wasn't afraid of
this meeting-the-public experience.
She said she was determined to make
60 of it.

rector Frank Tuttle told Leonard
to pick up some toy, any toy, and
handle it idly during the ensuing
dialogue. The business over, Leon

men turned around, facing each
