Just as she was packing her makeup box and getting ready to conclude her year-and-a-half stay at the studio, Carl Laemmle, Jr. asked her to stay for another pic- ture. She consented and will play the feminine lead in “Ambition,” a newspaper story. Her part will be the wife of a managing editor. And Pat O'Brien, of course will be her vis-a-vis. Director Russell Mack will spend several days absorbing newspaper atmosphers at the Los Angeles Evening Herald Express. Can’t Somebody Stop Him? Since Wall Strest muscled in, says Russell Mack, studio shakeups now are listed as bank clearings. Hollywood voings Sally Blane and Polly Ann Young look alike, and therein lies a story. Sally recently was engaged to play a small part in a Fox Picture, two days work it was. ~But after she had worked one day, she got an offer of a good part-at another. studio..

When Paramount pre-; viewed “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" a number of mothers in the audi- ence sent their children outside to v keep them from seeing the grue- some transformations. Soon the children grew restless. A ring- leader appeared and took his stand dren. Then they would all crowad around. Two ushers approached. They heard him whisper: “All right, you can look now. He's a gentleman.” Did You Know That Charles Farrell won the light-heavyweight boxing champion- ship at Boston University? DAUGHTERS AND MOTHERS LUNCH NEXT SATURDAY Women s Club Announces Plans for Lunch at Presbyterian Church Under the auspices of the Ju- neau Women’s Club, a Mothers and Daughters luncheon will be served next Saturday at the North- ern Light Presbyterian church, it was announced today.

Girls ‘from the Eighth Grade through the High School are invit- ed to attend the dinner which is modeled after the annual Fathers and Sons Dinner given annually by the Boy Scouts. The girls are expected to at- tend with their mothers, it was said. If, however, for any reason this is impossible, the Women'’s ‘Club, upon notification, will glad- ly furnish mothers to accompany the girls. CHICKEN DINNER GIVEN BY CAPITOL Stuffed with chicken, sweet po- tatoes, mince pie, plum pudding and ic> cream, one of the boy fiddlers in the Capitol Theatre’s Mickey Mouse Orchestra, who was a guest yesterday aftermoon at the First Anniversary Dinner given by the management of the playhouse, didn't think h2 could ever be hungry again. “This first birthday dinner of the Capitol was just right,” he said. “I won't want to eat again until its second birthday.” For the banquet, which was serv- ed in Bailey's Arcade Restaurant, places were set for 25 persons. Eric Paulson, manager of the theatre, was host. The guests were the members of the Mickey Mouse Or- chestra, the Minnie Mouse dancers, the Minnie Mouse announcer, the adult director of the orchestra and the adult musicians who gave se- lections from the stage at the theatre’s First Anniversary enter- tainment last Friday night.

Coming from California they enjoyed the holiday season with relatives in Minnesota, where Judge J. G. Lomen and wife, of Nome, are spending a few weeks. His many friends in all seciions of Alaska will be pleas:d to learn that Charles Peck Sisson, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, has just been appointed in- structor in criminal procedure at National University, Washington, where he will deliver lectures on Thursday and Saturday evenings. General Sisson - ‘'has made two lengthy visits to Alaska, where he has a large acquaintance and many friends. As his position in the Department of Justice s admin- istrative he has much to do with the selection’ of judicial officials for Alaska, and expects soon to discuss this subject with Delegate Wickersham. R !The Department of the Interlor has issued some interesting state- ments regarding the mineral pro- duction in Alaska during the year 1931, which shows a total value of over $12,000,000.
