THE DAILY ALASKA EMlsIRE, MONDAY, MAY - 14, 1934. AT, Hurrvy! Hurry! Positively Last Time Tonight THE DYNAMIC COSMOPOCLITAN STORY! EDDIE CANTOR { WILL APPEAR N NEW FILM SOON Has New Secretary in Daughter—Pooh-Poohs Passing of Musicals By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 14— That pop-eyed comedian, Eddie Cantor, has popped into town again for his annual film effort, bringing his family, a new secre- tary, old conviction that musical pictures, if they're good, will continue to draw customers re- gardless of the threatened pass of the “musical craze.” The new secretary is his own eldest daughter, Marjorie, aged 19, who left finishing school, Eddie says, because she thought she could learn as much working for Papa Cantor. And she does, says Eddie, a real job, taking care of a host of rout- FUNERAL RITES FOR WCORMICK ARE ANNOUNGED ’ |ine business including those stacks of fan mail—and insisting that no leniency be shown just because she happens to be her employer's daughter. “Why,” exclaims Eddie with pa- | ternal pride, “I've found her some- | times as late as one in the morn- jing clamped to her desk, getting her work cleared up.” 1“L00K AT CHAPLIN” Noal’s Ark WALT DISNEY'S COLOR SILLY SYMPHONY ——and— BARBER SHOP BLUES i | Tomerrow: SUMMERVILLE—PITTS “LOVE, HONOR AND OH, BABY!

Substation No. 1 FREE DELIVERY | As for musicals passing out, Ed- die pooh-poohs. “They don’t talk about screen dramas passing, do they? People [will pay to see a good dramatic ! picture, and they won't pay to see a poor one, and it's the same way | with musicals.” | Cantor is committed to the one- | a-year policy in pictures. He sees no reason for making more. One | picture, staged in the Samuel | Goldwyn style, he figures, will be | remembered long enough to mdke ithe next one welcome even if it's {n year later. | “Look at Chaplin,” he says. “He | waits not one, but two or three | years to make a picture, but when he does, look at the money it | makes.” | Cantor's air programs and his | frequent magazine articles keep him before the public “between ! pictlres,” he admits, but he doesn't | think keeping . before the public is | necessary for an actor’s screen fu- | ture provided his last film was Chaplin again — he | doesn’t broadcast and he doesn't |make a habit of writing. Say, | every comedian in the business is Chaplin’s best advertisement. Fans g0 to see us and they shake their ; heads—Uh-uh,' they say, 'not as good as Chaplin.'” MYRNA LOY SLIDES | Sir Guy Standing in Witching Hour” portrays a vener- |able jurist nearing 90, and in 'real life he is no youngster any ;more. But he hikes an average lof 30 miles a week, and every Sunday boxes 10 rounds with a former professional prize frighter. Myrna Loy, after some years be- ifore the camera, has taken her first “comedy fall.” She did it in her first scene in “The Thin Man,” sliding six feet across a speak- easy floor. And just when she's begun to _click in drama too. 'ANNUAL TEA, JUNEAU WOMEN’S CLUB TO BE TUESDAY NIGHT The Juneau Women's Club an- i | !

The party, which is making the round trip on the Northwestern, represents the Seat- tle Hotel Greeters and Miss Hen- ton, of the Piedmont Hotel is the winner of a contest held early this E g by the organization. Quite a party of Juneau people, representing the local Chamber of Commerce met them when the steamer docked here on Saturday night, but due to the lateness of the hour, no entertainment was planned at that time. This morning, while the North- western was in port, Miss Henton, Mrs. Caven and Miss Kay were guests of local friends on motor trips to Mendenhall Glacier and luncheon. | “The whole trip has been per- fectly delightful. I was thrilled when I won first place in the con- test with a trip to Southeast Alas- ka as a prize, and it has lived jup to every anticipation,” Miss |Henton declared this morning. “T'll yadmit I was disappointed when we |arrived in Juneau so late at night on the way north, but today has more than made up for it,” the at- |tractive ‘‘Hospitality” girl said en- | thusiastically. s i 2 G - Mining Location Notices at Em- !pire office. | NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATRIX NOTICE 1S HEREBY GIVEN, that on April 23, 1934, Hilda Green, ‘!he widow of JOHN E.

Directed by the masterful touch | of W. S. Van Dyke, director of “Eskimo,” who brought such not- table productions as “Trader Horn” | and “White Shadows of the South | Seas” to the screen, “Penthouse” presents a modern and laudable | picture of New York’s high spots —the Mad Manhattan that Walter Winchell and O. O. McIntyre have | glorified in the public press. { Filmed almost entirely in set- tings that represent the lavish pent- house world atop New York's sky- scrapers, the picture captures the pulse of the great metropolis’ roof- top life. Warner Baxter, Lawyer As Durant, a society lawyer of New York's upper classes and who is cast out by society, Warner Baxter gives one of the finest per—i formances of his colorful motion | picture career. Myrna Loy, who, in past appear- ances, has been seen as an exotic adventuress with oriental eyes, has production as one of the most beautiful and alluring women to grace the motion picture screen. As Gertie Waxted, the night club girl, she appears in one of the | strongest, most appealing and most || worthy performances of her career. Mae Clarke, after misfortune has kept her from a public life for many months, also makes a start- ling comeback to film prominence 2s Mimi Montague. Other note- worthy performances are given by C. Henry Gordon, Charles Butter- worth, Phillips Holmes and Martha Sleeper. ] | I “,———,—————’—5—.— | PIONEER CAFE - J. K. Paul “THE HOME OF GOOD EATS” !
