The photoplay is based on events in the career of Jim Fisk, one of the pioneer financial moguls of this country whose legerdemain in the money marts still reads like fasci- nating fiction. No less amazing is Fisk's un- conventicnal love for Josie Mans- field, a bewitching siren upon whom, | in the photoplay he squanders a fortune in an effort to make her the leading actress of her day Arnold in the role of Fisk and Frances Farmer as Josie Mansfield are brought together for an encore to their success in “Come and Get e Eupporting the leading players ir prominent roles are Thelma Leeds. former radio star who makes her film debut.

The following mem- bers were present: First Vice-Presi- dent F. A. J. Gallwas and L. W. Kil- burn of Douglas; W. J. McDenald of Cordova; M. S. Whittier; John W. Jones and G. E. Cleveland of Ju- neau; H. R. VanderLeest, Treasur- er; and Curtis G. Shattuck Execu- tive Secretary Good Publicity The report of the members was called to recent publicity for Alaska in nationally circulated periodicals. ‘Alaska From the Skies,” by Caro- line D. Todd, appeared in the maga- zine section of the Christian Science Monitor of January 12, 1938. In the January 1938, issued of the Express Messenger, house organ of the Rail- way Express Agency, the first ar- ticle is entitled “On Alaskan Serv- ice.” The article tells of the Ameri- can Express Ageney in Alaska, of the service given throughout the year, and is unusually well illus- trated. Circulating as it does among all of the agents of this company, this issue of the magazine will un- doubtedly result. in less misunder- standing in the States as to winter express and mail service to Alaska No Sticker, Advertising Considerable time was given to the possibility of issuing a sticker or series of stickers advertising Al- . Letters from two prominent | lithograph firms explained the var- ious types of this form of publicity. Due to the fact that a single seal would undoubtedly be inadequate, while a series of seals could not be purchased that would be satisfactory to any material members Cham- bers, the Board voted not to issue | stickers. It was- pointed out that a | reprint of “Glimpses of Alaska, As | Tt Was and As It Is” will have to | be made shortly, and that the pre- | parations are already under - way for the publication of & pictorial | folder. Board members feel .that be- | cause of the limited funds available, | the Territorial Chamber is already doing all it can in the matter of | printed publicity. . | In:connection with the above, the Executive. Secretary reported pro- i;ress in the preparations for the | pictorial folder. He was directed to | proceed with, arrangements for a | reprint of 10,000 copies of “Glimpses | of Alaska.” | No Fair.
