She is no long- {er rich. Instead of two elaborate homes, one at the beach and one in town, she has now only an apart- ment in one of the better apart- ment hotels. Instead of having her name at the top of movie casts, she is content to see it somewhere in the list. She no longer spends days and weeks of leisure basking ih the sun on the beach and worrying| over the thousand ard one details| of a movie star's life—including the | money that movie starring brings. | Has Three Careers | | Instead of all that, she works and | plans, and she says, “I've never| been happier.” | | Betty Brent has three careers| {now instead of one. She left Hol-| {1ywood about three years ago on a | tour of the country with an act. A year ago she came back and she | | has been working in pictures, per-| forming on the air, and making| plans for another tour with a new | act. She looks like a different per- | son, younger, brighter and more |alive with interest than the star| | who left. “‘Getting away from Hollywood,” she says, “was what I needed.

Before I could {always help them out.” " EVELYN BRENT Over the country, if not so much in Hollywood, Betty Brent is re- membered for the good roles she had—in “Underworld,” “The Last Coemmand,” ‘‘Interference,” Silver Horde,' for Instance—rather than for the series of inept “star- ring vehicles' which were -her lot before she left Paramount to free- i lance. One thing that impressed her on her tours in the theatre was the way fa supposedly fickle, remem- bered former favorites. “They wanted to know, time and again, about Bessie Love and Pris- cilla Dean and Monte Blue, why they haven't had more breaks in pictures. Ruth Roland, too,” says Betty.

Grunigen, all of Los Angeles, have traveled thousands of miles. from California to Alaska, to investigate reports of| the splendid fishing .availdble in| the. Territory. The three Californians, registered at the Zynda, arrived on the Al- {aska yesterday morning. In the afternoon they were taker to Mon- tana Creek by Dr. C. P. Jenne. First honors go to Trout who hook- ed a Dolly Varden and as a result feels slightly superior to the, les§ fortunate anglers, McBain and Grunigen. . To Fly to Lake The three fishermen have made! arrangements to fly to one of the nearby lakes tonight with Pilot Sheldon Simmons of the Alaska Air Transport, if the weather per- mits, and they will also|try their skill at strip fishing before leaving Juneau. Dr. Grunigen, who, like ms com- panions has never been in \Alaska before, 1s impressed by the fact that wild ducks and peaver\ were seen from an automobile during a short tour of the vicinity, and \also by the rugged nature of the hills surrounding Juneau. The Alaska Juneau mine rock dump in Gas- tineau Channel and the large numni- |ber of automobiles in Juneau prov-~ ed of interest to McBain. Trout, who is interested in bear hunting is gathering information on that subject with the intention of re- turning to Alaska for a hunting trip. Trip Is Success All three Calitornians expect to sail on the southbound voyage of the Alaska. They are unanimous in declaring the trip already a success but hope to include large catches of trout and salmon in thieir first trip to the Territory.

Ed Conolley and Walt Davis mer students at San Mateo, Junior College, did better t mutter. They arrived he night, enroute from Sea Fairbanks by canoe. They didn't have the ticket price in the Puget Sound port, so bought themselves a 16-foot canvas vered canoe— and here they are. To come this far, has taken five weeks, young Conolley I ed before a calendar in The Empire office yesterday afternoon. He ex- plained that, although they started from Seattle on May 15, about thrée weeks of the elapsed time had been spent installing a wire netting at a cann on Chatham Straits necessar ash. A ave Friday Conolley, who is 21 and a year older than Davis, said that the plan of action now would be to head up Lynn Canal to Skagway. They may leave the Channel Friday. Some- how, someway, they hope tain.a portage up to Whitehors Y. 'T., where they can begin their many-mile trek down the Yukon River to Fairbanks. “You see, we both had offers of good winter jobs in Fairbanks,’ the blond, well-tanned youth said. “No ticket money in Seattle proved em- barragsing until we got the idea of paddling a canoe up here.
