For six years, John Murray

a job about as pleasant as any the
world could offer
that of selecting the mermaids

L rem m Der my first 800
aquabeIles sank like rocks"
Anderson recalled the early in
terviewS he supervised for the
initial Aquacade. Some 10000
Shapelies answered his call for
water talent and from them he
winnOwed 600 prospects.

was, Anderson is facing an ever
more titanic task in Hollywood

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1t is the

DOUGLAS
 NEWS
FIRE DAMAGES CORTEZ
 RESIDENCE ON SUNDAY

Fire and water practically ruined the home of George Cortez and family living in the John Mills house opposite the Natatorium on St. Anns Avenue Sunday after noon about 1 o'clock The fire was found by Douglas volunteer fire men, responding to the alarm, to be confined to a wall in the attic of the three-story structure an d was apparently caused by a de- fective chimney.
 With smoke pouring out in col umns from the sawdust-filled walls, firemen worked hard to open them up. rlenty of water was used to thoroughly soak between partitions so that no possibility could exist for the fire to get outside tn e walls and, accompanied by tn e wind. perhaps cause devastating damage to the surrounding neigh horhood. After three or four hours work, danger was believed defin- itely past. but the lower portions of the dwelling were rendered un- suitable for further residence. Most of the furniture and person. al belongings had been removed to the Nat and if not too much damaged by wetting may be us- able. Insurance on the building was in effect, according to report, Ito partially cover the loss.
 In commenting on the fire, Chief Pusich particularly commended the high school boys for their part in helping the regulars put out the fire and helping remove the fur niture to place of safety. It was their first fire since being sworn in as auxiliary members of the department and the adyisability of Eaving them in was amply jus tified by their deeds in just the one instance.
 The Juneau Red Cross, learning of the dire need of the Cortes family, acted promptly, according to John Newmarket of the Juneau Douglas chapter. Blankets, clothes and other articles were made avail able and praise is given to the Treadwell and Douglas residents for their help in extending aid. es- pecially to the five children, in age, from 13 years down.

Terry Lawler, a carrot red-head, used the street as a stepping-stone to S350 a week. Edith Roark, beau- tiful platinum blonde, and an em- cee and singer of sorts, went on to her own cafe. And then there's Mae Johnson and Helen Hughes and Billie Holiday and Frances Fay and Maxine Sullivan, of whom you must have heard.
 The present crop has its pret- ties and girls with ambition. One is Elaine Hume, a tall and rather winsome blonde with hazel eyes who really is a dramatic soprano but who will travel farther on her looks. Another is Jackie Hill, who has a degree of bachelor of music from the University of Pennsylvania and who gave up teaching singing to sing herself.
 Curly haired Kay Gardner, formerly of Omaha, was a radio singer and travelled with bands, as have many others in the block. After a spell of modelling in New York, she returned to singing.
 There are more, of course, like the girl who cried every time she sang Love For Sale but you can't name them all when it's here-to-d -day-gone-to tomorrow. Lik e their unofficial historian, Sher- man, the dapper headwaiter at the Famous Door. you have to be pleased over their successes and philosophic over their short comings and cr,ilures.

NEW YORK.-There's O piocs of old brownstone houses on West Sand Street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues. In nearly every remodeled street-floor front there is a night club. And in nearly every night club there are girl singers-canaries as they are known to the trade.
 The latest census shows 43 girls in the block, singing for their suppers and for mink coats. Some places have two, some five, one has ten.
 Outside the clubs, on the side walks, are tripod stands with huge pictures of the girls. Their names are prominently displayed The photographs are very lush Singing is visual matter on Sand Street.
 There are no contraltos and altos and sopranos. There are blondes and brunettes and red heads. They sing blue, torch and swing. How well they sing is not important. They are paid accord ing to their following.
 A girls following is the male spenders who follow her from club to club, to listen to andlor watch her sing. Between songs she sits at the bar or at tables She can drink as little or as much as she wants. Usually it's little Her income is based on what the followers spend. Her salary may be $35 a week but she may make $100 in tips.
 It's hard school, but good one. A girl who can hold an au- dience has got the stuff. The block has turned out some fa- nous graduates. It's also broken the hearts of dozens of girls who could or couldn't sing but couldn't get a following.
 Most of the girls are between 18 and 22, because that's where the biggest turnover comes in Those who stay on-can hold a following but can't get into big money = usually are married or just over being married. Let's look over some of the graduates.
