TONIGHT! Irene Dunne “Swceet Adeline” SPECIAL DISPLAY ON PAGE 5 GOING SOUTH Actor Cham[:ions Alaska —Comments on Death of Will Rogers Lewis Stone, famous stage and screen star, ieft Ketchikan Mon- day morning on his yacht Serena, bound for Hollywood after a two- woeeks' cruise of southeastern Alaska iwhich brought him north as far as S3itka. He was accompanied on the cruise by Mrs. Stone and a party of intimate friends. “Alaska is even as good as its most enthusiactic champions said it was,” he stated, announcing his intention to return next summer. He said the only flaw on the trip was the untimely death of his close friend Will Rogers. “His death was really a tragedy,” Mr. Stone told Ketchikan reporter: “He was the one man who could not be replaced in our national and civic life. The loss that his death caused to the motion picture indus- try is only a minor part of what it medns to the nation as a whole, although the industry has lost a lot. Men like Will Rogers come only once in a centwy. Mark Twain ‘was his predecessor.” - .‘0...-.1.0.-- .
