Barrymore portrays ‘a character that receives little credit but who | is loved by hundreds of people, the small village doctor. The trials and understanding of a man who is so important in a community, but who receives little in compen- sation gives him an understanding of human nature that is not ac- quired in any school. It is this understanding that enables him to help guide the lives of his friends and often cures them when medi- cine and science fail. an ideal one for Lionel and he | handles it with great feeling. In the cast with him are Mae Robson, Joel McRae, Francis Dee and Dorothy Jordon.

Hooper, president of the | American and Canadian Tourists' ?So:iety, was forced to cancel Tes- | ervation due to the longshoremen's strike, according to a letter re- | ceived in Juneau by Mrs. Pearl Burford, president of the Business | and Professional Women’s Club, | from Mr. and Mrs. Hooper. Mr. Hooper, one of the Terri- jtory’s most enthusiastic boosters, | though unable to make the trip to | Alaska this year because of the un- | certainty regarding sailing dates, | plans to bring a party to Alaska Here are Charles Laughton and his wife, Elsa Lanchester, as they locked on their return recently to the United States em route to Hollywood. Their roles in “Henry the VIII” are depicted below, Laughton as the king, Miss Lanchester as Ann of Cleves. By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOQOD, Cal, June 21.— Elsa Lanchester, the little wife of a big star, would like to play Har-| po Marx's sister or be the sound track on a Mickey Mouse cartoon. “I look like Harpo,” said Mrs. Charles Laughton, who doesn't, however, sound like Mickey Mouse. | Perhaps she gould. When Laughton returned recent- ly to appear in “The Barretts of ‘Wimpole Street” Mrs. Laughton came with him. Now she is going to work in a Hollywood picture, “Marie Antoinette.” The last time she was here nobody knew she| Laughton at that| was an actress. time was not well known, and Elsa Lanchester was, in her own words, “less than the dust.” She was quite miserable to be idle. But her work as Ann of Cleves in “Henry the VIII" gave her an in- troduction to Hollywood. Not a “Siren” The sprightly Elsa makes no pre- tense at beauty. Her features are irregular, and she can't “give them that,” she says, rolling her eyes in imitation of screen vamp- ires. In “Henry the VIII” they highlighted her nose to make her ugly—she was supposed to be. I have a comedy face,” she says, gaily, and isn't the least down- hearted about it. She was an actress before she met Laughton. That occurred | when both were playing In Arnold Bennett's “Mr. Prohack.” They were married, and both have con- tinued acting. She is better known in Engiand than here, naturally, both on screen and stage. Mrs. Laughton thinks Mr. Laugh- ton works harder than any other actor she knows. When she hears people say that such-and-such a part is a “natural” for Charles she wants to tell them that there is no such a thing. Hs acts that way because e “works and agonizes” over every part he plays. If he were to play himself he'd work just as hard. He has a genius for work, can get along on little sleep and often when rehearsing | he will stay up, reading lines | until three and four in the morn- | ing. “No Unsympathetic Part” “I wish I were like that,” she |says. “I need eight to 10 hours | sleep—and think of all the time |lost from your life in sleeping! | When I'm not working, I stay up Tand ‘hear words’ for him. When T am, our secretary hears words.” Elsa and Charles differ in this respect: he likes to rehearse in company, Elsa likes to be entirely alone in the house. “When I can’t be alone,” she says, “I can always go to bed, pull {the covers over my head, and j read lines there!” .\ Told she would play an “un- | sympathetic” part in “Marie- An- toinette,” Mrs. Laughton wasn't dismayed. “There really isn't any unsym- pathetic part,” she said. “If you can get under the skin of any character you can find something interesting, and no woman is ‘un- sympathetic’ in her own eyes. If she were, there’d be nothing left for her but to jump in the river.” ——————— VIKING CLUB The committe incharge announce that everything is in readiness for |the Mid-Summer night event which will be held in Odd Fellow’s Hall |Saturday night, June 23, starting at 9 pm.

They claim the same element would put domestic producers at a disadva.n-j tage even in the home market if import duties were lowered. Secretary Roper of the Com-, merce department contends deval- uation of the dollar has been suf- ficient, in comparison with move-| ments of foreign currencies, to offset that factor. He says technological develop- ' ment enables American producers to turn out articles at a low per-| unit cost even in the face of hlgh- er wages. - ATTENTION! | Regular |of the Moose Thursday, June 21, meeting ot the Women | will be benefited.
