actresses VINO react 10 hlSs "
orbs look like boiled potatoes.
"Any gal who wants to i'm
prove her romantic technique
should watch Marlene Dietrich
or Barbara Stanwyck," says Al
len. They've acquired an un-
derstanding of men that enables
them to put their emotion into
high gear.
But the slick little chicks
who are socially immature and
inexperienced remind me Of a
schoolgirl getting her first kiss.
They either act as though each
kiss were the last they'd ever
have, or they're so cold they're
incapable of anything except a
chaste peck"
Havoc Good Example
Lewis thinks June Havoc
whom he directed in the recent
ly completed "One Woman
with Alan Ladd at Paramount
is proof of what he says. Ha-
woes been in show business since
she was 2. She was married al
IA. a widowed mother four years
later. She's been around.
"And her background shows
up in her acting" claims Allen,
a pipe-smoking, family-type OF
man whose marriage is ap-
preaching the 20-year mark,
"Havoc, like other mature ac-
tresses, can cojure look of pas
sion to her eyes on command.
She doesn't simply recite lines,
She thinks as she acts-she
knows how the woman she por-
trays would feel"
Allen feels social maturity d
more important than mere ply
sical beauty in creating the al
lusion of allure. He points out
that Hollywood is full of shape
.ly secretaries and mattresses
who come to town to crash the
studios equipped with nothing
more than a classy chassis.
That's not enough" objects
Allen. "A screen lover must
know how to tantalize both the
audience and the actor shes
working with"
With a grin, Allen warns that
love-making is matter Of team
work, and one poor partner can
pull the other down to the lower
standard. Moreover, the influ-
ence on the general public OF
cinema Smoothing cannot be un-
derestimated. Movies set the
style.

Moose, Bears, Fox Are Increasing
 At Mckinley Park

Tourists coming to Mt. McKin- ley National Park this summer will have no trouble in seeing moose, bears and fox within the park, it was reported this week by John c. Rumohr, chief ranger. However, the wolves, once the scourge of this 3,O3O square miles of game reserve, apparently are on the decline.
 MT. Rumohr has counted about 15 wolves only this season, and has not yet spotted any new lit ters. However he estimates there are at least 15O moose and 60 bears within the park, with beaver and fox too numerous to count. The ranger thinks that rabies are responsible for the decline of the wolves, which once hunted game in the park in packs of 20 or more.
 The summer season at McKin- ley Park opened last Sunday. Much of April's record 98.2 inches of snow still blankets the valleys and hills surrounding the hotel, however. Visitors to the park this summer will go by streamliner, which leaves An chorage on thrice weekly schedule.
