Both are widely known for their concert work, in addition to their fame as screen stars. Both recent- 1y returned from extended concert tours of Europe, where they are popular both on the screen and the musical stage. Novarro, in fact, was literally mobbed by admirers when he appeared in public and Miss MacDonald is generally conceded to be the reigning favorite of the French people. Their teaming by M. G. M. is generally conceded to be a master stroke of showmanship. “The Cat and the Fiddle,” which concerns an idyllic and thoroughly modern love affair between two ambitious young music students in romantic Br 1s, was adapted from the stage success by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach. It embod- ies such song hits as “The Night Was Made for Love,” “One Mo- ment Alone,” “Try to Forget,” “She Didn't Say Yes,” “The Love Pa- \rade” and “A New Love Is Old.’ Appearing in support of the star is a notable cast including Frank Morgan, Charles Butterworth, Jean zHersholt and Vivienne Segal.

GREATER MOVIE SEASON MEANS MUCH LOCALLY panies Will Be Shown in This City Commenting on the. ' opening of the Juneau Empire Theatre's Sec- ond Annual Greater Movie Season, [Cliff Daigler, manager of the Capi- tol and Coliseum 'theatres, 'today said: ing theatres, nine of which I spent in Alaska, T have never seen a finer outlook for good motion pic- tures than at the present time. The major studios are spending more money directly for talent and production, and are spending it iefficiently, and effectively, with lone aim in mind, to make a better quality of entertainment than ever before.” Notable Productions “It is a distinct pleasure to an- nounce to our Juneau patrons that such pictures as “David Harum and “Handy Andy,” starring Will Rogers; “Rip Tide,”’ with Norma Shearer; “Villa Villa,” with the in- imitable Wallace Beery; “We're Not Dressing,” featuring Bing Crosby; “Operator 13,” starring Marion Dav- ies, and many other notable pro- ductions, are booked for immediate showing in the Capitol and Coli- seum.” “The product of every major pro- ducing organization will be ex- hibited by us this season,” Mr. Daigler continued. “We have also arranged to bring news reels of more up-to-date release to Juneau, which T feel sure will meet with local approval.” New Equipment | In addition to the product that will be shown, Mr. Daigler pointed out that the theatres have been especially equipped to handle the {new wide range sound which the |studios are now using in the re- cording of talking pictures, and that additional ventilation facilities have been installed for the comfort of patrons. rMy'Beauty Hint MARIAN MANSFIELD Give your system a rest from heavy foods.

Why—Why—Why and Why? American technique, practiced by thoroughly schooled in the n philosophy, is the ideal of bolshevism. But the approach to this ideal is rough.

Why are meat and Yats so scarce and so dear? ‘Why is the supply of goods for women's dresses so limited, and why are the patterns so ugly? ‘Why isn’t wallpaper available? These and hundredas of similar questions reach the Kremlin from thousands of villages and collective farms scattered throughout the re- publics and administrative areas which comprise , the Soviet Union. Most of the queries are accom- panied by answers. Some local of- ficial 'is blamed for failure to heed complaints. The district commun- ist committee is charged with neg- lect to inspect local party organ- izations and send efficient men to replace inefficient ones. These complaints supply material for party cleansing committees whose hearings weed out disloyal communists. They result in the trial of dishonest and inefficient of- ficials. They send many men and women to death or prison for theft or destruction of government prop- erty through non-social action.

It shows how ) she is placed on the marriage auc- tion block, sold to the highest bid- der and launched on a social career lixe a battleship, even to the cham- pagne, the crowds and the bands. One of the season's debutantes is being prepared for her social pre- miere. While preparations are being made for her party, she slips away to keep a secret appointment with the man she loves, a young violin- ist. Through a misunderstanding the lovers quarrel, and the girl goes to his apartment to explain. Their differences are soon forgot- ten in warm reconciliation. Returning from Chicago, the young man arrives at the coming out party, and informs the girl that he must leave for BEurope on a concert tour. Although she realizes that she must get married immedi- ately, the girl agrees to await his return the following year. The but- ler, who is familiar with her des- perate situation, hastens to the boat to prevent the young man from sailing. They both return in time to prevent the young girl from announcing her forced mar- riage to a wealthy young man, Against the objections of her par- ents, the lovers marry.

He is Chairman of the Minnesota State Corn Loan Committee. About $2,750,000 ‘of the $6,400,- 000 loaned farmers of South Da- kota and part of Iowa on their corn sealed on farms has been re- paid, Professor Boss says. Minnesota farmers, repaying at |the rate of $75,000 a day, have re- | turned almost $2,000,000 of their | $5,000,000 in loans. Professor Boss attributes these settlements to the higher prices for corn, with No. 2 shelled corn selling in the neighborhood of 65 cents a bushel.

Vivacious Lily. French s once laughingly par:ied an interviewer’s tort: “There are no pictures of men in Damita’s home, but—there are 80 mirrors!” To many of her friends Lily— or Lili, as she sometimes spelled it —was veritably “Little Narcissus” because of her fondness for mir- rors. If she liked to regard her reflection in them, there were none in Hollywood to blame her. She had the reputation of being ex- tremely easy to photograph, a per- fect photographer’s model. FIANCE REPOKTED WEALTHY Lily has not been in Hollywood recently although she created a name for herself in many roles since that first one in which Sam- uel Goldwyn introduced her—oppo- site Ronald Colman in the silent film “The Rescue.” Portraying a sedate Englishwoman in that pro- duction, Lily lost no time in es- tablishing herself in a more fitting role—that of the gay, fiery, volatile Latin. She is remembered for her work in “The Cock-Eyed- World,” “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” “This Is the Night,” and “The Match King.” The fiance, Lily announced, is Hugo Bras:cy, wealthy young Aus: tralian. Triends who have the ple together abroad— 1ave b in each other's company @ great deal—report that Brossey is extremely personable, handsome, and alogether a “fine fellow HAD TITLED ADMIRERS Lily, sophisticated, temperament- al, traveling in brilliant circles and muc , liked to keep | Holly wood ssing aoout the pos- {sibilities of romance involving the tit friends her charms attracted. They included Prince George of ngland, and Louis Ferdinand of Germany, grandson of the former Kaiser. Of the latter she once said: “I almost married him.” But she never explained why she didn't. Extremely energetic, Lily man- aged to keep co-workers amused and sometimes panicky—when she was on the set. She amused them by her singing, her “naughty” habit of making faces at visitors to the set and at visiting executives, her brittle temper and her freedom from inhibitions about speaking her mind—in French, German or Eng- lish. Hollywood will welcome the Da- mita’s return. e CHARLEY JOHNSON ARRESTED, ALLEGED CHARGE OF FORGERY Charley Johnson, Juneau, was arrested yesterday in | Petersburg by Deputy U. 8. Mar- |shal C.
