MISS HANSEN, MISS JUNES RETURN HERE Girls Arri\'e:/\laska Fol- lowing Good Will Tour to Mexico Reporting a grand time from the moment they left Juneau until their return here today, Miss Helen Junes and Miss Clara Hansen bid good-by to their co-traveller, Miss Peggy Marsch, as they disembarked from the Alaska early this morning home again with a store of souven- irs and memories of their Good Will Tour to Mexico. Miss Marsch is enroute to her home in Anchorage, having com- pleted the voyage with six other girls from Alaska. Miss Hansen is to continue studies at Juneau High £chool and Miss Junes, who came to Juneau from Fairbanks to work with the Territorial legislature, is to make her home here. Ameng outstanding events of the trip, the girls state, was the visit to Ramona’s wedding place near San I re0, the visit to motion picture studios in Hollywood, a brief stay in and longer visits in Los s and €an Francisco. carry Sunny Wealher caving Juneau on April 5, the iled to Seattle, arriving there two days earlier than the Washir ton and Oregon group, and bri with them the first sunny weather for several weeks. The only rainy days they spent on the entire trip, they said were in the vicinity of Wrangell and Ketchikan both going and coming. While in Seattle the girls toured the city and spent part of the time in shopping, however, it is rumored that Miss Hansen and Miss Rosa Danner clung to one block, hesitat- ing to cross the streets. The two have not been outside since 1923 and 1925 respectively. After touring Seattle and shop- ping, the girls met the 40 girls from Washington and Oregon, all of whom went together on a private Pullman directly to San Diego. At San Diego they stopped from 7 am. until mifnight, seeing the noted Ramona wedding site, and meeting later the group of girls coming on the tour from New York. The entire group then went to Mex- jco, visiting in Agua Caliente, and Tia Juana, eating lunch in Tia Ju- ana. Like Mexico “I liked Mexico very much,” Miss Junes stated, “and although Agua Caliente was not to be really open until May, we found everything very picturesque. Typically enough," she added, “the first sign we saw as we crossed the border was one which read ‘Marriage Licenses Is- sued—Divorces Granted.'” In Los Angeles on the return trip the girls stopped for three days. Miss Hansen and Miss Junes agreed that the trip to Catalina Island on the first day was one of the outstanding events of the trip. “We found when we arrived at Catalina that Victor McLaglen had been on the ferry with us all of the way across, and we hadn’t known it,” they said. “But we stopped him at the gang plank and he gave us his autograph.” After lunching at St. Catherine's. the group returned to Los Angeles, and spent the following day on a 40 mile tour of the city and vicinity seeing various homes of movie stars. Miss Junes added that she especially liked the home of Shirley Temple. They visited the Metro Goldwyn Mayer studio, where they found Pat O'Brien “looking so natural we al- most forgot he was a movie star.” At lunch they saw Robert Kent, and later went to Hollywood where they attended the matinee at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Go To San Francisco Following dinner at Lucas and ~fter several other interesting visits, the group then went to San Fran- cisco, visiting Golden Gate Park, China Town, and the main shopping district. “The question we have been asked the most often on the whole trip,” they said, “is ‘Did you cross the San Francisco Bay Bridge?' Our answer is we didn't cross it but we went under it—enroute from Oakland to San Francisco.” Miss Junes liked San Francisco so much that she stayed there two ex- tra days, meeting Miss Hansen in Seattle later, following the latter's visit in Tacoma. Asked About Alaska Everywhere we went, the girls pointed out, we were asked about Alaska. People would no sooner see our luggage with Alaska stickers on it; then they would ask about the MOTHER: JOHNNY: MOTHER: JOHNNY “Aw gee, Mother, paign instead of just a week?

Their financial coup is under close scrutiny by the Interstate Com merce Commission and the Senate Committee investigating railroad fi- nancing. Robert Young and Frank Kolbe, New York stock exchange partners, and Allen Kirby, a Wilkesbarre, Pa., philanthropist, have bought securi- 3 ties controlling the 28,000 mile rail- road system. Senator Burton K. Wheeler said: “This is a typical example of what can be done with holding compan- ies. Billions of dollars worth of property is tossed around for a few million dollars.’ FIVE HALIBUTERS SELL AT SEATTLE SEATTLE, April 27.—Halibuters selling here today are as follows: From the western banks—Lituya 29,000 pounds, 8! and 6 cents a pound; Grant 34,000 pounds, 7% and 6 cents.

HOlly;&;éo'(l M dg n;ltés geek a Second Shirley Temple| By ROBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD, April 27.—Shirley Temple, Queen of the Moppets, was eight years old on April 23. She makes three movies a year, endorses commercial products, and she rakes in an income variously estimated from $500,000 to nearly a million a year. Shirley is tops in box-office pop- ularity among all the movie stars. Other producers know that Dar- ryl Zanuck of Twentieth Century has that prize package neatly sewed up, but— Hollywood is looking for another Shirley. Just any little girl will do—any little girl who can take the collective heart of the movie fans and do what Shirley did with Fortune From Advertisers With Shirley rapidly outgrowing the moppet class, the quest is keen- er than ever. Hollywood wants an- other little girl to whom it can pay a fortune, to whom advertisers will gladly pay another fortune for her name. (Shirley reputedly paid her income tax with proceeds of “tie- ups” with little girls’ clothing, books, dolls, jewelry, gloves, a pen-and- pencil set—in all about two dozen articles) . Shirley was only three when she started, inconspicuously, in comedy shorts. She was making $50 a week, and $75 when she made her first picture, “Stand Up and Cheer.” The studio lent her to Paramount for $1,000 a week for “Little Miss Mar- kor” Then Mrs. Temple demanded the “big money.” There are potential Temples in Hollywood now, making $50 to $75, or little more. The Potential Successors On Shirley’s home lot, in “One Mile From Heaven,” appears Joan Carol, 5, blue-eyed blonde. She sings, dances, rattles off her lines like a veteran. She’s already had jona, Capt. Olaf Larsen; and Elfin two contracts, with Mary Pickford- _/II, Capt. E. O. Swanson. No fish Jesse Lasky and with B. P. Schul- berg, but they had no work for her. Her first real role will tell the tale.

She’s (the baby star of “Midnight Madon- na.” ("I saw Shirley on purpose one day,” she says. “Dwove by her yard and she was playing, she was!” Now she wants to see Mae West “on purpose”’—meaning in person.) Hal Roach has used “Baby Pat- sy"—Patty Doris Dittmore May from Gosport, Ind.—in only one pic- ture but he’s training her. She'’s just three—the age at which Shirley started. You'll see her in “Our Gang” comedies. Any of these, or none, may as- cend the Temple throne in the fu- ture. But if they do, it'll be by quick popular demand. Juanita Quigley (Metro’s Baby Jane), and Sybil Jason, Warnerite, apparently have no pretentions. Audiences may think they're “adorable,” but they don’t, with one large voice, insist on more. That’s what it takes to tell a pro- ducer he has “another Temple.” S e LOFTUS TO FUR FARMS Dr. J. B.
