- LN Hollywood
By PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Hollywood-People of the movies and all the rest of the entertain ment world are generous in giving their time and plenty of energy to tours of the military camps and bases. But most of their efforts look like Sunday afternoon picnics com- pared with Joe E. Browns Alaskan expedition.
 He devoted i've weeks to 1t and travelled 5000 miles in Alaska it. self. He ranged from the southern tip of the Alexander archipelago to Nome and out on the Aleutian Is- lands to Dutch Harbor. He visited posts and outposts, navy bases, fy- ing fields. He was grounded and detcured by weather, and once was almost given up for lost on a flight from Kadiak Island when the storm battered plane was more than three hours overdue.
 Brown is the first entertainer who has been seen by our armed forces in Alaska. He gave oneman shows in theaters, mess halls, tents and shacks to groups of men whose loneliness and isolation can't be measured in mere months or miles. He turned down movie job in Hollywood to extend his tour. He lost eight pounds, received no money fir his work, but came back feeling amply repaid.
 NEED MORE FUN
 The comedian won't like the way I'm telling this, as if 1t were his personal heroic adventure. What he wanted to talk about was the great need for much more of this sort of thing for the men in Alaska. As important as entertainment itself is the contact with people from outside and the realization they're willing to do what they can to brighten up life in the Aarmy of the north.
 "At first" Brown said, Y only figured on flying up to Fort Rich ardson and back. But I knew I couldn't quit there when saw men standing in line an hour before the theater opened-standing in snow- storm and in zero weather" TOO REMOTE FOR MOVIES
 Besides six complete baseball kits for Fort Richardson, Brown took one of his movies, "Alibi Ike" At least, the film caught up with him after few days and he showed 1t wherever there were facilities. There are theaters at the main posts and stations, he said, but there also are many forces in spots so remote that the men have no chance of Senieg a movie.
 Brown now is trying to line up Hollywood celebrities for Alaskan tours this summer, if the military situation permits. He's especially anxious to arrange for the purchase of five portable motion picture pro- jectors which could be kept circu- lating among theisolated posts by trained Army and Navy operators. Authorities have eagerly okayed the idea, and Brown hopes the money may come from public subscription; believes it would mean more to the men.
 Incidentally, he found that the actress whom our Alaskan forces would most like to see in person Is Betty Grable.

STATE

Capacity attendance at Warmers State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of the new Irene Dunne comedy, Lady in a Jam," featuring Patric Knowles, Ralph Bellamy and Eugene Palette with the favorite star.
 Lady in a Jam" is said to be Q worthy vehicle for the comedic tal- ents of the glamorous lady whose comedienne abilities have delighted State patrons in the past in such delightful film-fare as "The Awful Truth" "Theodora Goes Wild" and My Favorite Wife.
 Tn the new comedy Miss Dunne portrays an irresponsible New York heiress who goes broke and who then proceeds to go west, to the badlands of Arizona, to work an abandoned gold mine in ghost town.
 Patric Knowles and Ralph Bel lamy are Miss Dunne's leading men and the supporting ast includes Queenie Vassar, Eugene Palette and Samuel s. Hinds.
 Oddly enough, Miss Dunne never believed she possessed comedic tal- entS when she was scoring hit after hit on the screen in outstanding dramatic performances such as Show Boat, Magnificent Obses- sion", "Cimarron", etc. Then came the role in "Theodora Goes Wild" and Irene Dunne, the dramatic star, became Hollywood's leading com- edienne.
 This is Miss Dunne's first comedy under the guidance of La Cava and she is terrific. .
 Appearing with the popular star is Patrick Knowles as the sober psychiatrist who endeavors to get the pleasant delusions out of her pretty head. Ralph Bellamy por- trays showof cowboy who can't do anything well but tries every thing.
 Also included in the cast is Eu- gene Palette, Queenie Vassar, Sam uel s. Kinds, Hardie Albright, Rus sell Hicks and Emmett Vogan.
 Jack London,s mightiest adven- ture story, North of the Klondike," comes to the screen as the second big hit. Thrills galore predominate in this picture of the frozen north, with Brod Crawford, Andy Devine, Lon Chaney and Evelyn Ankers in featured roles.
 Coming Sunday to the State is "This Gun for Hire" with Veronica Lake cd Preston Foster in leading roles cl1B featuring the new sensa- ton, Ai@h Ladd. Brian Donlevy in Remarkable Andrew" will be the second hit of Sundays show.
