Yankee Doodle
Dondy" Is Best
Entertainment Ever

Yankee Doodle Dandy" a pic
ture about Americas master en-
tertainer, George NJ Cohan, is an
entertainment miracle in itself. The
story is grand, vivid, and sparkling
enough to stand alone, but coupled
with a brilliant cast, fine music
and excellent, well-directed pro-
duction numbers, it takes its place
among the never-to- be forgotten
pictures in film history. The pic
ture will make its local debut al
the Kootenai theatre on Thursday
Friday and Saturday, April %. 30
May |.
James Cagney is cast as the show
worlds greatest song and dance
man, and is said to be perfect for
the role. The picture opens with
Jerry Cohan, played by Walter
Huston, who breaks away from his
Irish Minstrel Act just in time tc
welcome the new Conan arrival in
this world, whom he and his wife
Nellie, role played by Rosemary
De Camp, decide to call George M.
the NJ being for Michael
A few years later a little girl
/, Josie, is born to the Cohans ano
when she is old enough, they break
her in as a skirt dancer. When 10
sic becomes older her role is played
by Jeanne Cagney With the entire
family in the act, they call them
selves THE Four Cohans' and this
becomes nationally famous during
the decade that follows

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 22 A new Northwest Passage" from h. dies by air over the Polar Great Circle is the postwar plan of the Chicago Southern Airlines, Inc.
 The company announces it has filed an application with the Civil Aeronautics Board to operate a trans-Alaskan air service from Chi cago to Singapore, Batavia, after the war

 Officials estimate the new route is l,543 miles shorter than the present air service via San Fran cisco and will require 22 hours less flying time.
 The route would cover $500 nautical miles. Stops proposed in- clude Winnipeg, Edmonton. White horse, Fairbanks and Nome.

SALARY BILL
 GET5B BOOST

WASHINGTON, April 22-A bill to increase salaries of about l,500,- 900 government employees has been passed by the Senate and sent to the House.
 The raises would total about twenty-three million dollars a year more than present temporary in- creases The legislation grants a $500 wage boost for workers in the lower salary brackets whose present temporary increase of 2l6 percent for a 48-hour week does not reach that figure.
 A similar increase is granted on salaries of part-time workers and others receiving up to $2,000 a year whose work cannot be meas ured in hours. For those making $2,000 a year in this category, a l5 percent raise is given. The tenn porary law, expiring April 30, pro- vides for only 10 percent in- crease.
