THE DAILY ALASKA'EMPIRE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1933. “W ATCH JEAN PARKER"—IT'S A CHORUS; AND A BEAUTY PARADE ¢ ARTED IT ALL — Jean Parker was still in Paasdena High School, when she began making a name in the movies. She has many ibterests apart from acting, o’ many that—"T wish I were five peple,” she says. By ROBBIN COONS HCLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. May Robson said it. F said it. An extra on set—a veteran extra who has watched young girls come and go for years —said it. A palmist added his voice 38— to the refrain, looking off to where ‘ a slim ‘young girl with brown hair, blue-green eyes and a piquant- 1y expressive face was doing her scene. What th said, at different times, was nere's the girl watch—Jean Parker!” Movie fans already had begun to watch Jean. Her first appearance, with Jackie Cooper in ‘‘Divorce in the Family,” brought quantities of fan mail. Her biggest role came when she was sclected as the lead in “Shall 'We Tell Our Children?” It's a heavily emotional part, amll her performance may inspire doubt : that only a year ago she was a high school child who had never acted professionally in her 17 years. So To The Studio That's the truth, however. The manner of her discovery for pic- & Cocoanuts? BAH!

As such, her picture ap- ‘peared in newspapers. There was |that about it that caught the at tention of Ida Koverman, secretary to Louis B. Mayer of M. G. M. ‘ Jean was traced through the pa- | rade committee and called to the studio. “If you can act,” she was | told, “you can have a contract.” They marched her to a stage at lonce for a screen test. “Just talk and walk around,” they instructed |Jean talked and walked around. | They gave her no lines; so she talked about her pets—her goldfish, her dog, her cat—for five minutes. It was one of the oddest and most difficult, screen tests that can be given. She triumphed. Jean had to complete her high scheol education with a teacher |at the studios in order to get her diploma this summer from the Pas- \adena high school. Five Jeans In person Jean suggests fresh- ness and warmth, blending vivacity and sparkle with unusual poise She has many interests and talents besides acting. She wants to be an interpretative dancer, a painter, a ;musician. ‘a poet—and an emotion- |al actress. She has worked seriously at all {of them, and— “I wish I were five peopie,” she says. — et The Empire wili show you the best way to save and invest whal cash you have.

DOUGLAS NEWS J IS VICTIM OF AUTO AGCIDENT Former Resident of Doug—i las Crushed to Death at Miami, Arz. The news reached here this week| from Miami, Arizona, of the death| there on July 20 of Joseph Rob- ertson, former resident of Douglas| Island for a number of years. The | word was received here by Mr. and | Mrs. John Mills, indirect' relatives of the deceased to whom the news| | was a severe shock as well as to all! oldtimers here who know him. Mr. Robertson was crushed to death when a cumbersome truck he was driving for the Gila County Welfare Association of Miami, turn- {ed over on the road and rolled | [f [down a steep, 16-foot embankment. |He was passing a scraper and grader at a sharp curve on the |road and the earth gave way as | the result of some repair work | that had left the ground soft. | Funeral Services Funeral services were held on |July 22 at 3 oclock in the after- ‘noon from the Community Church. | Rev. Charles Kau of the First | conducted the services. Interment was made in the Knights of Pythias cemetery plot. Mr. Robertson was born in Scot- land, October 10, 1885. He was 47 years of age at the time of his death. He left Scotland in March, 1906, coming to Douglas, Alaska, where he was married in 1910. Family Left in 1916 Afflicted with inflammatory rheu-| matism on account ofs which he | was advised to seek a change of{ climate, Mr. Robertson moved to} Miami in 1916, locating there in| October of that year, and residing there continuously since that time. In 1919 he became interested in the Consolidated Stage Company, operating a stage between Globe and Miami, until the depression set in. Mr. Robertson was a life member | of Douglas Aerie 117 F. O. E, also the Knights of Pythias. His death is deeply regretted for he was a fine, upstanding citizen, and es- pecially well liked and respected by all with whom he came in con- tact. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Robertson, four daugh- ters, Mary, Kathleen, Annabell and Josephine; three brothers, William and Alex in Ketchikan, and Frank in Miami, also a brother and three sisters in Scotland. — e DICK KILBURN INJURED An accidental thrust from ome of the fish forks caught Dick Kilburn in the back while the cannery| crew was pitching fish yesLerdnyi morning, and sent the young man| to Juneau for a slight operation which was necessary for the proper | treatment of the injury. He was able to be around about the same as usual later in the day and it is LOGAL EXHIBIT AT EXPOSITION HAS BAD START Closed in June, but Seems to Have Overcome Handi- cap, Chamber Hears (Continuea from Page One) rectors in endorsing the protest filed with the Secretary of State to the British duty on frozen sal- mon, increasing tlte rate from one and one-half cents to three cents per pound. This increase, it was pointed out, affected the fishing population of Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California. The increase was made by the British pariiament at the instance of Canadian guonorities, it is un- derstood, The Secretary of State was asked to file a protest in the matter, and if that is not effective, the Seattle Chamber has suggested 3 retaliatory duty against Cana- {dian fish entering the United tates. Request Is Acknowledged The request of the Chamber of Commerce for a proportionate al- lotment of public works relief funds to Alaska, telegrbphed Presi- dent Roosevelt recently, was ack- nowledged by the White House. It was referred by the President to the Special Cabinet Committec of which Secretary Ickes is Chair- man for its attention, the Cham- her was advisad. A vote of thanks was given by the Chamber to the Entertainment Committee handling arrangements for the recent fleet visitation. Dr. \R. E Southyell was complimented highly on the manner in which he arranged transportation to the gla- cier. The Chamber also expressed its appreciation to those who fur- nished automobiles and aided in other ways in the entertainment of the sailors. The Chamber has written the | Secretary of Navy and fleet offi- cers thanking them for sending the rdestroyer squadron to Alaskan wat- ers, and suggested that it be made an annual cruise. Retail Code Local Matter Advices from the National CGhamber of Commerce said the re- employment code is entirely a vol- untary matter and of local con- cern only. Such codes, it was point- ed out, would be directly in har- mony with the National Recovery Act and the recent code promul- gated by the President. Since the last meeting of the Chamber, 58 requests for informa- tion have been received and an- swered, Secretary G. H. Walmsley reported.

WINDOW CLEANING PHONE 485 Chesterfields are as good as Science and M_oney can make them Every pound of Domestic tobacco used in Chesterfield cigarettes is aged for thirty months—234 years. Science £nows there is no other way to wmake cigarette tobaccos mild and mellow. Every process used in the manufacture of Chesterfield cigarettes is modern, scientific and clean—visitors are always impressed with the cleanliness of the Chesterfield factories. Every ingredient, including the paper, is pure—nothing that you eat or drink is tested more carefully. And Chesterfields are made right; the right length, the right diameter, and filled right —a detail perhaps, but if a cigarette is *“to satisfy” it must be made right. Everything about Chesterfield is as good as money can buy or Science knows about— you have our word for this. And Chesterfields are milder and tastg better—this much you can prove for yourself. esterfield the cigarelle teals mupEn -Z%aayamfle Hhat tastes BETTER
