Its title, “Look-| ing Forward,” was selected by spe- cial permission of President Frank- lin Roosevelt. The symbolic phrase | was used by the President as the ! widely acclaimed book. Barrymore as Benton, faithful old bookkeeper, has a role totally dif- | ferent from that of Hhis sinister Rasputin, the part of the humble clerk who finds himself facing a ‘nfe crisis when he loses his job, { resembling somewhat his famous Kringelein of “Grand Hotel." Lewis Stone follows his fine work in-“The White Sister” with the role of the merchant prince in the present pic- { ture, and the two popular English screen and stage stars, Benita Hume and Elizabeth Allan, have the leading feminine roles. Miss Hume is seen as the wife who betrays her husband when he is most in need of her fidelity, ‘while Miss Allan portrays the daughter who remains loyal to Stone in the midst of chaotic eir- cumstances. Phillips Holmes plays Miss Allan’s brother and promi- nent supporting parts are filled by Colin Clive, Alec B. Francis, Doris Lloyd, Halliwell Hobbes, Doug Walton and a number of others. The picture is said to reach its most dramatic heights in the con- flict between the loyal daughter and the shallow wife, in the stir- ring sequence in which the mil- lionaire finds his cherished busi- né%s smashed to the wall, in the bookkeeper's fight to rehabilitate himself, and in the touching cli- max in which this old, fa'thful em- ployee saves his store from being annihi¥ated by a chain-store ganization. e MR.

(A-sucmad Press Photo) | DOUBLE EVENT HELD AT SITKA MEET BUTCHERS {Double Cag:—Bill on Tap| A]aska-Sca—rExavian Pro- gram Given, Topped with Proper Food SITKA, Alaska, Jan. 27.—(Special Correspondencer—An Alaska-Scan- dinavian program, showing hard work and deep thought on the part of the Home Arts Department of the Friendly Society, was present- ed on Friday evening at the regu- lar monthily meeting of ',he or- jganization. Two large living rooms connected by double doors, at the Sheldon Jackson Mission, were filled with members and friends, leaving a space in the center for those tak- ing part in the entertainment. The Friendly Society is studying some phase of Alaska history or some item of interest concerning Alaska at each of its general meet- ings. As the sons and daughters of the Scandinavian race seem to be peculiarly fitted to colonize the Territory, an evening devoted ‘to their historic background, litera- ture and customs was appropriate, A comparison of Alaska with Scandinavian countries was pre- sented by Mrs. Hugh Nicholsen, followed by the history of Scandi- navian literature by Miss Madge McRae. Two little girls, Elsie Collett and Ella Berg, in costume, gave a Swedish folk dance. Mrs. Holden M. LeRoy spoke on the subject of living Scandinavian authors. Following Mrss talk @ Finnish folk dance was gi¥ie en by Eva Koskela and Doris Hal- leck, also in costume. “In the Wilderness,” by ‘Sigrid Undset, was reviewed by Miss Ruth Andersen, and the program closed with a Norwegian folk dance by Mildred Tilson and Virginia Drugg, in cos- tume. Miss Jane Stuart was at the piano for the dances. When refreshments were served by Miss Madge McRae, in Nor- wegian costume; Miss Ruth Ander- sen, in Swedish costume; Mrs. Har- ry Manea, in Finnish costume, and Mrs. Herbert Greig in Danish cos- tume, the guests were lost in ad- miration between the dresses and the delicious Scandinavian food. From Denmark came the fattiman; from Sweden the berliner kranser; from Norway the krum kakes, and from Finland the torruja. Almost too dainty and attractive to eat, one soon found them rich enough to begin counting calories but too tempting to resist. Hostesses for the evening were Miss Julia .Berg, Miss Ellen Jen- sen, Mrs. Herbert Greig and Mrs. Harry Manca. Mrs. Eiler Hansen, Chairman of the Home Arts De- partment, was in charge of the program.

No part that we can recall hav- ing seen Miss Stanwyck play, of- fers her the scope and depth that the role of Lily does, and she ~| takes inspired advantage of every opportunity. George Brent is delighfful as Trenholm, the bank president who is the last but not the least of Lily’s captives. The cast surrounding Miss Stan- wyck is of competent calibre in- cluding as it does such talented actors as Henry Kolker, Douglas Dumbrille, James Murray, Arthur Hohl, Alphonse Ethier, Robert Bar- rat, Donald Cook and Theresa Har- ris. Alfred E. Green's direction of “Baby TFace” is keen and subtle throughout. Born in-the slume of a steel-mill reared in the squalid at- jmosphere of a speakeasy, Lily (Baby Face) has no illusions about men, love or marriage. Life and an old German have taught her that it is the strong who take and the weak who give. With nothing vhut supreme confidence in her own | feminine appeal to the opposite sex Meat, smothering that organiza-| tion without difficulty. They will be up against much stiffer com- petition in the Elks. George Brothers should have no trouble coasting through to an easy victory over the Butchers, The lat- ter, organized just before the open-| ing of the second half of the league’s schedule, has not yet set- tled down to a clicking combina-! tion. The first game will start at 7:30 pm.

In the years that follow, many men lose their heart to her. Lily accepts their devotion, their money and jewels and moves steadily from one admirer to another—careless of the tragedy and scandal she leaves behind her. Her supre coup, however, is her conquest o the young bank president whos predecessor in the institution was her prey for years. The picture works up to a sur- prising and yet convincing elimax when the bank iails and Lily mu take her choice between a man and her hard won financial inde- pendence.
