Second Chorus Coming 10
10Th Century Sunday Also
Features Shaw's Band

The Second Chorus" com S
Sunday to the Goth Century The
atre, when Fred Astaire, as a
trumpet player with frolicsome feet,
crosses horns with trumpet player
Burgess Meredith for the love of
beautiful Paulette Goddard.
Not only are they rivals for Paul
cite, but they also are aspirants
for places in Artie Shaw's swing
band, which is featured in the Eek
uberant story. Shaw, in the picture,
introduces a larger, and. from all
reports, swingier band than he had
before his vacation from the Utter
bugs.
In the picture. Astaire is the
trumpet playing leader of the Ivy
College Perenials and Meredith a
trumpet-tooter who tries to mis-
lead. The swing crew is held to-
gether year after year only be-
cause Astaire and Meredith are
very smart - in deliberately funk
ing their courses so they could stay
in school and in the band business
Just when everything is going swell
with Paulette Goddard as the
bands business manager, disaster
strikes. Astaire and Meredith are
graduated.
The band breaks up and Paulette
gets a job managing Artie Shaw's
aggregation. Then there is a sudden
and unexpected development.
For the last times tonight aud
fences will enjoy Arise My Love,
romantic adventure with Claudette
Colbert and Ray Milland.

ALASKA TRAVELGRApH
IS OUT, LAST ISSUE;
WAR GIVEN AS CAUSE

The Alaska Travelgraph, official
publication of the Alaska Steam
ship Company, dated belately as
December, has been issued, stating
that the Travelgraph was unfortu-
nately delayed because of the war
and the many questions and prob
lens arising with the advent of
hostilities. The leading article then
says:
/. AT present this is the situation
with reference to Alaska traffic
and to the Alaska Steamship Com
pany operations:
Until further notice, no sched-
ules will be printed and no infor-
nation as to sailing dates will be
issued in advance.
Travel agents who have clients
who want to go to Alaska are adj
vised to notify X. A. Cross, Assis-
tant General Passenger Agent, Al
aska Steamship Company, Seattle,
and to supply information as to
when they want to leave. Then,
when, as and if there is a sailing
at that time, Mr.. Cross will let you
know when we will be able to ac-
commodate them and will offer you
reservations for immediate accep-
lance.
1T is apparent that, under pres
ent war conditions, no tourists,
either as individuals or in parties.
will visit Alaska.
1T is expected that this will be
the last issue of The Travelgraph
until after the war;

. McKENNEY ON BRIDGE

little lady who will fool you at
the bridge table If you are not
careful. Here is a clever play
that / saw her make at tourna-
ment a short time ago.
When South played the ace of
spades on the queen, Mrs. Ruth
erford, sitting West, dropped the
king. South looked at 1t sus-
piciously, but decided that it
must be honest.
If West held both the six and
five of spades, then her false
card, intending to discourage an
other lead which North could
ruff. would give her a second
spade loser anyhow. II she had
one remaining small spade, the
false card would also give up
a trick for no apparent purpose.
Finally, South decided that with
a singleton spade, North would
have doubled four hearts.
South shifted to the ten Of
clubs. West won with the queen
and led trumps. When South was
in again, he led the other club,
still hynoptized with the notion
of avoiding the spade lead which
he thought would give Mrs.
Rutherford an extra entry to
dummy.
But now at last the object IT
the false card was disclosed.
Mrs. Rutherford won with the
jack Of clubs, took out trumps
and reached dummy with the
jack Of spades to cash two more
clubs for diamond discards. Thus
she lost only one diamond and
made her. contract.

BY PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Staff Correspondent


HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 27-Be-
hind the screen: There'll be an
Academy Awards dinner this
winter after all, but the usual
glamor-clamor is to be eclipsed
by patriotic festivities and re-
ports on Hollywood's war activi-
ties. This change in purpose
well might result in the presen-
tation by proxy of a special
award for the Best Perform
ance of the Year-to the Marines
of Wake Island.
Generals may be sitting be-
hind the huge desks in produc-
ers' offices soon, and burly SER
geants may be quartered in
scented satin dressing rooms
now occupied by stars. There's a
chance the Army will take over
one of the major studios as a
troop concentration point and
headquarters.
The sheer excellence of facili-
ties makes such a move seem
likely. Each of the movie lots
has 20 or more sound stage
buildings which literally over
night could become enormous
barracks. The back lots, some
of them 100 or more acres, have
paved streets, power, water and
sewer lines.
There are garages and ma
chine shops, and plenty of build
ings which could be converted
into kitchens, laundries and hos
pitfalls. There are hundreds of
excellent offices, of course, and
everything is connected by ex-
ceptionally fine communication
lines.
