 Some Smaller Packs
 The salmon packs in the west ward districts will probably be smaller than normal due to the consultations of operations and the shortage of certain materials principally piling for the construc- ton of traps.

 Southeastern Alaska faces the odd-year pink salmon run which is usually smaller than the even- year cycle, except that in certain areas very satisfactory runs will be expected.

 The Blues skipped the second frame, then rolled over the City for six runs in the third. Church. man started it all with a single to left. Ernst came through with a single in the same spot and Mon doker Intentionally walked Pavlige to fill the bags. Davis then pushed one to Blum who tried to catch Chrchman at the plate and both Churchman and Ernst scored. Safe On Error
 Then Fowler was Sa1e on all CT for by third baseman Daniels and Pavlige scored. Williams doubled Fowler and Davis home and later scored on Gems single to left. Four hits were good for six runs.

NEW YORK

One of the lesser reasons why
Life With Father" retains Its fresh
ness and appeal today after play
ing at the Empire Theater for three
years and four months is that it is
in continuing state OF rehearsals.
Howard Lindsay and Dorothy
Stickney, the Clarence Day and
Winnie of the play. fearful Of be-
coming lax, and entertaining the
same concern about the others in
the play, call rehearsals whenever
they deem it necessary.
Anyone in the cast, for that mat
ter, is privileged to ask for a re-
hearsal. There is still another rea-
son for the numerous rehearsals:
The younger actors seem always to
be outgrowing their parts and must
be replaced.
The public has only a vague idea
OF the Importance of rehearsals dur
Ing a plays life. Most theatergoers.
seeing a show which has had a
long run, take it for granted the
actors know their lines and have
no particular difhculties.
Actors, like other people. enjoy
complimentary references to their
work; but their reactions are not
like those of other people.
The surgeon who is complimented
on the success of a delicate opera
ton, or the lawyer on the brilliant
handling of case. or the painter
on a new landscape says, thank
you" and that is all
The actor, too, is pleased. but he
is likely to add and he usually does:
Il wish you had seen me last night"
or You know. the fact is I wasn't
at my best tonight" or something
in similar vein to suggest that the
one he is addressing at the par
ticular moment ought to have seen
him two nights or a week earlier,
or, at least. ought to return to the
theater If he wishes to see the art
OF acting In its most perfect form.
There is probably less vanity in
this reaction than is indicated, act
ing is an elusive art: the best per-
formance to the actor is either in
the past or in the future, and.
rarely, by incredible coincidence, in
the present as far as the actor is
concerned.

Rehearse and Then, Rehearse
Life With Father Cast Applies That Rule
For Preserving Freshness of Its PLAY

An opening nights performance
may be perfection itself. yet unsat-
isfactory to one person in the COM
pany; at another time an actor
might regard his own work as flaw
less while seeing the acting of his
fellow players as something below
standard.
The art, in any case, is ephemeral.
The words are spoken, the gestures
made: the facial expression or the
movement Of the body lives for a
moment and is gone forever. The
performance may survive In the
embalmed prose of critics or in the
memories of contented playgoers: !:
but there is no record of the thing
itself.
1t Is as II our knowledge of litera-
ture, painting or sculpture depended
on what has been written about
them. We may read play, but the
great performances OF the past, and
of last night for that matter, must
be taken on hearsay unless we have
| seen them, and even II we have seen
them the memory changes. Some
times it plays tricks. too, so that a
distant memory enhances the value
OF a performance far beyond Its
real merits.
There is no recording Of a great
play. Dramatic readings have beer
made but these are simply small
parts Of the whole, and the visua
part of the art is lacking
A partial solution to the problem

Prinz Graph Proves
Girlish Figure
Has Slenderized
HOLLYWOOD

AAOA1 w oL|s
Take 1t from lie Roy Prinz, Holly
woods top studio dancing master:
The girl that Pvt. John Smith left
behind him at the call of recruiting
sergeant or draft board is going to
be Simmer, lovelier, healthier girl
when Johnny comes marching
home.
Streamlining of national life to
meet demands Of the war effort is
bringing streamlining of feminine
figures, says Prinz, and he has a
graph In his Office to back up his
words. Measurements OF girls who
worked under his direction in yam
kee Doodle Dandy" and who re-
turned few weeks ago to dance in
Thank Your Lucky Stars" showed
markedly beneficial development.
Walking is often compulsory to-
day. even if not popular, and FEM
mime legs are already beginning to
fill out through development of
muscles that the automobile had
endangered with atrophy," said
Prinz.
THAT tire rationing program is
certainly a blessing in disguise for
a lot of inactive, semilazy girls.
Plenty of them are losing, their per-
sonal spare tires since they turned
in the spares from the cars. A year
from now you'll note really startling
changes upon the form divine-par-
ticularly in legs.
Less meat and butter is doing
things to and for torsos, also" Prinz
added.
