Against this background, Buddy DeSylva has filmed a ro- mantic story. “Pat” Paterson, charming impor- tation from the English stage, makes her American film debut in “Bottoms Up.” Playing the ro- mantic leads opposite Miss Pater- son are Spencer Tracy and John Boles. The comedy situations are contributed mainly by Herbert Mundin, Sid Silvers and Harry Green. Other members of the im- pressive cast are Thelma Todd, Robert Emmett O'Connor, Dell Henderson, Suzanne Kaaren and Douglas Wood. The picture contains four song numbers that promise to be hits. They are “Waiting at the Gate for Katy,” “Turn on the Moon,” “Lit- tle Did ¥ Dream” and “I'm Throw- in My Love-Away.' Each of these numbers is reported to be catchy and tuneful. They are interwoven with an entertaining tale of three merry rogues and a girl With movie ambitions, who put on a swell front and crash the gates of a Hollywood studio. Through the conniving methods of her three companions, the girl finds herself o playing a part opposite a famous male star she ‘has secretly loved.| David Butler directed from his own story and screen play on which he collaborated with B.

On De- cember 18 a “Mend-It” party will be held at the home of Mrs. R. B. | Lesher, where toys will be re- paired, renovated and put into con- | dition for distribution. Approxi- | mately forty patients at the Gov- ernment Hospital enjoyed this treat last year. Mrs. R. B. Lesher, who has had charge of this work since |it was inaugurated at her sugges- tion four years ago, will again be chairman of the committee in charge. Good Cheer baskets sent out an- nually for the past five years to the lonely and shut-in of Juneau, will again make their rounds this year. These baskets carry the club’s ‘Chrlstmas greeting to approxi- mately thirty elderly people in Ju- neau, who have mno relatives of their own, and who might, other- wise, not enjoy Christmas festivity. They are not intended as chari- table offerings in any sense, but merély serve to add a little Christ- mas cheer. This work is under the Department of Civic Tmprovement, the committee handling it to be named by Mrs. Chase. New Memberships Eight new names were proposed for membership, and unanimously accepted, making a total of 36 new members for this year, to date. The names of nine women proposed for associate membership, brought that number to almost three hun- dred. Four new communities were added, Wainwright, Pt. Hope, Ga- lena and Kokrines, that will be ‘placed on the Associate Member- ship map, which is kept by the committee in charge. Interesting letters were read from mapy as- sociate members, which were great- | Iy enjoyed. A letter from the Dean of Women of the San Mateo Junior College in San Mateo, California, told of the excellent work that is being done there by Miss Doris | Ulrich, graduate of the class of 1933 of Juneau High School, and winner of the Club's Scholarship Award for that year.

Jory comes through with better than flying colors. He is an |actor of rare ability. ‘The plot of “The Devil's in Love" |is laid in Africa. The various phases of its story center at a Foreign Legion post in the desert, |in a busy seaport town, in a com- men hostelry and in the revivifying atmosphere of a mission. The story takes its hero from an honorable | position as a surgeon to that of a derelict among derelicts. It shows him on the downgrade where step by step he loses station to reach the deepest of despair. It shows him being galvanized into action by an emergency that calls forth the small spark of courage left him. And it brings him back to |success and a large share of hap- piness. Loretta Young has the leading feminine role opposite Jory in & |romance that will make you re- |spond with whole - hearted sym-| pathy.
