This a mad movie with Bert Lahr, Jimmy Savo, Mischa Auer and Billy House making their screen debut as a comedy four- cme. Lahr, Savo and House have often appeared during their long and merry careers as vaudeville troupers, but this is the first time they have appeared together in movie form, but it won't be the last time judging from the way the fclks have been guffawing all through the run of the picture. For those who haven't seen the film as yet. “Merry-Go-Round of 1938 is a movie with all kinds of comedy from high to slapstick, tunes by Jimmy McHugh and Harold Adam- son who have written some of the catchiest screen scores in recent movie memory, Joy Hodges, attrac- tive Hollywood newcomer to sing them and John King to make love to Joy. Alice Brady, Louise Faz da and Barbara Read are among| the important players in this cing- matic merry-go-round which was directed by Irving Cummings and produced by Buddy DeSylva MOVIE FOLKS FIND PEACE IN NEW YORK at a special meeting of the lodge.

In this biggest, noisiest, rushing-est of American , they can find peace and quiet. They can d to &t away from it all. If you're a movie star and you or your press agent or both desire it, you also can get INTO it all. If your P. A. heralds your coming loudly enough, you may be met by a couple of photographers at the Grand Central. And if youre a glamor boy and they shush-shush your sailing loudly enough, you may even find a couple of autograph- hunting girls under your bunk when the ship pulls out. But as we from Hollywood under- stand it, New York. | Meal Minus Mobs If Robert Taylor walked into a restaurant in Hollywood, he would have at least a mild attack of writ- er's cramp before he reached his table. He would be slightly di.\ar-1 ranged as to clothing, probably a bit flushed in the face, and a myriad of goggling eyes would fol- | low with scientific interest each | round-trip of his fork between plate land face. | In New York the other day Tay- Mm- walked into Toots Schorr’s Tav- lern with a small party of friends, | sat down even as you and I, and| | finished the business of lunch qmtc‘ | undisturbed. At the 21 club Hiram Sherman (comic hit of “The Shoemaker’s| Holiday”) and Orson Welles (a real | boy wonder to make Hollywood green-eyed) sat an hour or two the| other day without once being ogled. | At first this kind aloofness seem: to indicate that New Yorkers are merely blase. But after a while you get the idea: New York believes in | ‘laissez faire. 1 Some Get Theirs Not that a star can't get mobbod |in this old town.

The drop in population was from 9,793 persons to 9483. A state law provides that cities of less than 9,500 population shall pay the mayor $1,000 a year and the commissioners $900. Previously, lench drew $1,200. 2 all is peace and quiet in i THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSPAY jUL\ , 1938 OLD BROCKLYN : BRIDGE STILL ONE BIG LURE e | Is ‘Favorite Vantage Point| for Artists Capturing | Night Eminence | By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Bridge at night favorite vantage who wish to capt Manhattans after July 21 continue: point for ari e something of k eminence. Brooklyn The arch ef the bridge just beyond midstream affords a magnificent view of the sleeping city with its winking windows and folding tiers of skyscrapers. John B ymore, who aspired to a long before he became an actor, once sketched the island from this point. And rare is the exhibit that does not contain |at least one canvas wrought in the spell of white stars over blue water with the long length of the island behind . But personally I prefer the Hud son view to from the East River side. Manhattan at dusk from a ferry in midstream or from any of the Palisade promontories is so breath-takingly beautiful as to defy description. It hangs in a haze of almost a mirage which with a blue that make Maxfield Parrish. As lights wink on and then is tinged one think of the blue deepens the like millions of fireflies it is that New York takes on an enchantment to be found only in a fairy tale or a Walt Disney pic ture. A handwriting expert reveals that sporting people almost invariably write in a bold, straightforward style. Gene Tunne signature, for instance, is expansive which prob- ably indicates unbounded confid- ence. Jack Dempsey’s hand is rath- er cramped but steady. Lou Gehrig and Carl Hubbell both write with an even flow.
