THE DAILY DUNN, BOURNE C0-STARRED IN NEW ROMANCE Greenwich Village Back-| ground for “Living on | Love™ at Capitol | | | The new RKO Radio comedy, “Living on Love,” is a rollicking story of life in New York's Green- wich Village which builds continued | laughs from a series of novel situa- tions. It is at the Capitol tonight James Dunn and Whitney Bourne | make a pleasing romantic combina-! tion in the leading roles, and they | are ably sppported by a competent cast of comedians who get the ut- most from the many amusing intri- cacies of the plot. The story concerns'the predic: ment of the leading players, who cannot pay their room rent. Rather than evict them, Solly Ward, their kindly landlord, works out an ar- rangement whereby the two, who| have never met, share the same room on a time arrangement. Dunn, who is employed at night, is to have use of the quarters during the day, and Miss Bourne at night. And they are not to meet. Though neither likes the plan, there is no choice but to accept, and they start| the agreement as bitter enemies. | Complications start when the two | meet in a nearby restaurant and| fall in love, neither knowing that the other is a roommate. Further| difficulties_are provided when suit- ors of each (Joan Woodbury is Dunn’s, and Franklin Pangborn Miss Bourne's) learn they have ri-| vals, and the other roomers start| taking sides in the battle which goes on between the two at home. The new screen comedy team of Kenneth Tarrell and James Fawcett are cast as a pair of vaudeville acro- bats, and others in support include ‘Tom Kennedy, Etta McDaniels, Eve- lyn Carrington and Chester Clute. ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1938. Host of Movie Imports at Crossroads ‘of Careers ]' - e and Della Lind are among the beautfes from the continent now storming Hollywood. Several of these have long awaited an assignment and may soon fade from the picture, even as did Anna Sten, Russian actress who was given a million-dollar build-up but failed to click. Others, like Simone Simon, Luise Rainer and Danielle Darrieux promise to give the veterans a run for their money. One of the notable things about Hollywood just now is the fact that it is overflowing with a host of expensive imported stars who are at the cross- roads of their carcers. These featured players, brought over from Europe after making hits abroad, sometimes are sensational successes but more often find the adjustment too difficult.

All of this is deposited at the front and sides of the glacier as it melts. Lots of money once was wasted mining these glacial moraines. In most instances the moraine pickings are not so good. The gla« clers do help in this way: They may dump a lot of earth and ore into a stream which in turn will wash away the wastage and de- posit the gold at the bottom. There it can be recovered. Glaciers, says Mr. Smith, are a vanishing race. Most of them melt | faster than they grow. Some have melted back several miles in the score or more years since they have been measured.
