THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JAN: 19, 1932. 3 , |CAPITOL TUESDAY—WEDNESDAY A Jolly Joy Ride With The Fun Geared In High starring REGINALD DENNY Feature Starts 8:12 NEWS CARTOON SLIM SUMMERVILLE in “HELLO RUSSIA” TONIGHT IS “CHINA NITE” By HARRISON CARROLL Copyright, 1932, by King Features Syndicate, Inc. HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 19.—One of the screen's greatest matinee idols —and he wants to b2 a rolling stone. Sitting on the set, Clark Gable admitted to me he still can’t be- lieve his good fortune—fortune that has enabled him, in one year to| play opposite Joan Crawford, Nor- ma Shearer, Grizta Garbo and now Marion Davies. » The strange parf of it, he doesn’t want to go on with this glamorous life indefinitely. What he really wants, he confesses, is $200,000 and a chance to travel in the out-of- the-way places of tha world. “I signed my 5-year contract against the advice of my agent and even my wife,” he told me. “My object was to get enough to retire on. And I was willing to devote five yzars of my life to it. Maybe I won't last that long on the screen. I'm not a great actor and I never will be. But I belleve I know my business. You can’'t work for 10 years stars and not absorb something.” Already, Clark is laying his plans for the future. “I own two cars, which I paid cash for,” heexplain- ed to me. “I rent my apartment— but for six months, not a year. I don't even own my furniture . I'm saving my money.” This actor, who has set film fans agog the world over, doesn’'t know much about Hollywood social life. Marion Davies has introduced him to most of the stars he has met. But he is a purpos:ful man, one who is likely to realize his ambi- tions. If he still desires it, you can look to see him a rolling stone in 1936. His Reputation at Stake They are telling a funny story about the colored revue, “Lively Days,” which Redney Pantages is putting on here shartly. The script, it seems, called for a real horse. And it must be & com- edy horse. After searching around, thi> management at last unearthed the sway-backed nag that used to v appear in Mary Pickford pictures. When the time came to talk .

Tonight is “China Night.” Every woman who attends either per- formance will receive a piece of table chinaware. In “What A Man,” Reginald Denny has the star role. He plays the part of a likable tramp. Denny's tramp is a tramp witha difference, for in spite of a few days' growth of beard and silent pockets, there's more than a hint noticed at first, lead to the suspi- cion that this bum may be a crook or gentleman out of luck .. And this notion is confirmed as the story develops. Helps Repair Automobile Finding it difficult to obtain work, Denny happens along just in time to help repair a stalled auto- mobile. Tts owner and occupant, {band and children, has made it her hobby to help just such tramps. Finding him a capable chauffeur and mechanic, she gives him a job and with it a place in her house- hold. Of course the family is incensed. Even the butler hands in his two weekes' notice. Most indignant of all is the lovely daughter of the house, Eileen, who resents Denny as an intruder. Victim of Family Prejudices Denny is an innnocent victim of | ! the family’s prepudices, but so long | ias his employer has her way, he isticks to the job. Subsequent de- | velopments reveal his true iden-| itity, although he himself has not done anything to indicate who hs is. Of course there are complica- | |cations of the heart, and the un- |usual twists that the author, E. J. |Rath, has provided in the novel, {“The Dark Chapter,” on which the | |film is based, keep one amused jand guessing right along. | Mirlam Seegar, blond beauty, enacts the role of the daughter. terms, the owner of the animal in- | sisted on a “run of the play” con- tract.

DEMANDS MADE ON COMMITTEE FOR SAlcTUAnv" (Continuead rage One) New York Zoological Society and one or two other similar bodies. The Delegate's telegram to the| Chamber said he is satisfied the Senate Committee is not inclined to favor the sanctuary. Committee Studied Question The Senate Committee spent sev- eral weeks in Alaska last summer and its invstigation covered the question of a bear reserve in South- east Alaska. It inquired into the reported scarcity of bears on Ad- miralty and Chichagof Islands and unfounded. Senabor Walcott, Chairman in an interview given The Empire, said the committee would favor the cre- ation of a national park in the Glacier Bay region which, he point- ed out, would constitute a bear sanctuary as well as serve other purposes. That district is already a national monument. TELEVISION Statement Is Issued by| President of One Broadcast Network NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Althcugh | television experimentation goes on apace with little or no ballyhoo from those behind the scenes, one broadcast network does not feel that it is “here” yet. It believes that more time must elapse—how much is not stated— before the public or even the ex- }perimenters can expect a fairly reliable picture service. | These views are expre: in a| |statement by M. H. Ayleswarth, president of NBC, in which he r¢ cites what broadcasting accom- pished in 1931. “Various interesis already have ;placcd television apparatus on the market,” he says. “The broadcast- ing of television programs has been | undertaken by others. But from the NBC standpoint television is not yet ready for the general public. “While the company takes cog- |nizance of the work being done in |the receiver field, it does not be- 1 Ifor visual broadcasting on a regular program basis. Years of Experiments “And so, during 1931, our engi- neers have continued their studies of television problems as applied to the sending of television signals, cconducting numerous tests and in- vestigations that must lead eventu- ally to the inauguration of public television service on a plane com- was apparently convinced it was parable with other broadcast ac- complishments. “The television researches are being conducted from several points. Transmitters have been op- erated from the Times Square stu- dio, in the RCA building, and more recently from the lofty top of the Empire State building, all in New York. “The broadcasts are not intended at this time for the general public or even the television experimenter at large. They possess no entertain- 1S NOT HERE Jment value. Their sole purpose at 'Actor Fined Associated Press Photo Richard Dix, film actor, pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to income tax evasion.

The transmissions from the RCA building were preliminary to those being conducted from the tallest building in the world for checking purposes to determine the value of sending pictures from high struc- tures. Station W2XBS uses 60 linesand 20 pictures per second, while WRXF has increased both the number of lines and pictures. ——————————— PATRIARCHS ATTENTION Regular meeting of Aurora En- campment No. 1-A, I.

PABST, Peace, at Geneva (Confinwed from Page One) Aristide Briand, however, stated during the League council meeting in January, 1931, that, in case the entire draft convention including Article 53 should fail of adoption, Germany would be responsible for the failure of the arms conference. The French note of July 16, 1831, signed by Briand, means nothing less than that France is not willing to recognize Germany's just de- mands at Geneva, but that, on the contrary, France already is de- termined so to influence world opinion that Germany's demands will be turned down. What are we to deduce from this? We demand before the entire world, as a member of the Leagu® of Nations enjoying equal rights with others, that on the basis of Jjustice and of German security Germany be restored to her mos\ fundamental rights of sovereignty —equality, and sovereignty in mat- ters of defense! We don't want a new war, but | we do want a new peace. We want reconciliation, but not submission. Germany's. poverty and her will to peace do not permit of any com- petition in armaments. In so far as she is able, however, Germany wants within her own territory and according ot her own notions to carry out the measures deemed necessary for the security, defense, health, education of her youth, and nationalism. 14 the youth in a country as poor and as humiliated as Ger- many are not driven into the arms of bolshevism, then it must be trained in the service to the father land. Equality Demanded We believe that one of the first assurances vouchsafed to Germany at Geneva must be equality, for otherwise the rest of the nations would blame her for the failure, If this equality is not vouchsafed, what further point is there for her to remain in the league? Our quitting the league would endanger the very existence of this institution. We are determined fur- WED IN SOUTH Marriage Is Performed at Home of Mrs. Black- man, in Everett Marion 8. Folta and O. Louis Pabst were recently married at the home of Mrs, Catherine Casey Blackman, in Everett, Washington. The bride was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Ione Mumford, of Se- attle, and wore & cream-colored silk dress and carried rosebuds of the same color. The groom was at- tended by one of his friends, also of Seattle. After the wedding, a sumptirous luncheon was served to the newly- married eouple and guests at Mrs. Blackman's home, the color scheme being pink and white. Mrs, Pabst is a former Juneau girl and is a graduate nurse, hav- ing' graduated from the Columbus Hospital about two years ago. Mr. Pabst is an automobile dealer now in Seattle, but formerly in Califor- nia. Mr. and Mrs. Pabst recently purchased a home on Mercer Isl- and, where they will be at home to their friends. ——o— MARINE MAPS ARE AT FAULT VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 19—Two surveyors, Col. W. 8.
