The picture intro- duces to the screen “Pilgrim,” the remarkable horse actor, as Huston’s faithful steed. “Of Human Hearts,” like “Al Wilderness!” which Brown also di- rected, is a running account of the life of a family, though theme and story are entirely different. It is based on the story, “Benefits For- got,” by Honore Morrow. gy OHLSON GOING EAST Col. Otto F. Ohlson, General | Manager of the Alaska Railroad, intends to go to Washington, D.

Chairman of Finance, Tom Cashen, recommend- ed the semi-annual audit of city books to maintain a close check on all city funds and the same will be made at the close of this month when taxes are about all in and expenses for the balance of the term can more easily be budgeted. Current bills to date of $515.49 and the note at the bank for $850.88 were ordered paid. Final consideration of the meet- ing revolved around an idea pres- ented by Mayor Kilburn of having a change made in the name of the town as it appears in the records, which is, “Town of Douglas City, Alaska,” to just Douglas, Alaska. The present name was acquired with the incorporation of the town March 29, 1902.

Hollywood Sights And Sounds Robbia Coons HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 11.—There’s another one of those fellows in town. You can spdt them every time—and just by watching the feminine contingent of the studios they work in. You can follow dreamy-eyed stenogs and mooning secretaries and designing star- lets as they converge, under various pretexts, upon one sound stage. You can follow the ladies’ eyes, in the studio restaurant, when the fellow walks in. And you know that the ladies are Struck. It follows, in usually inevitable sequence, that millions of other ladies will be Struck . So you might as well meet Carl Esmond now. He won't be available for world-wide feminine ogling until “Dawn Patrol” is reléased, but it's in the cards that he will be ogled. Carl, a tall husky blond gent who looks like Bob Montgomery, full-face, and like Franchot Tone, profile, has just a bit in “Dawn Patrol.” He's the captured German flier who drinks and banters with Errol Flynn, David Niven and the others in a long key sequence. Already he's been tested for the lead opposite Bette Davis in “Dark Victory” and for the role of Maximillian with Davis and Muni in “The Phantom Crown.” Esmond is 31, a native of Vienna. He speaks English well enough when he has memorized his lines, acceptably even when he’s just talking. He came to Hollywood because Louis B. Mayer, who saw him as Prince Albert in the London production of “Vie- toria Regina,” couldn’t wait to get him here. Mayer wanted Esmond for the lead in “The Great Waltz." Esmond maneuvered out of his stage contract ahead of time, 1 WHY NOT ENJOY A REALLY DELICIOUS SUNDAY DINNER AT THE NEWER—FINER TN e e, caught fast boats and trains to Hollywood — and did exactly nothing for six months. (One of his companions-in-waiting at Metro was Hedy Lamarr.) His real name is Willy Eichberger. He changed it in London because too many fans addressed him as Willy Iceberg. In some cities of Europe his films played competition to each other. He would be billed as Carl Esmond at one theatre and as Willy Eichberg at another. Sometimes fans were confused to discover that the’ two names applied to the same six-foot-three of broad: shouldered actor. He was an actor a long time before the banking house that paid him for more prosaic work discovered it. After that he became a' full-time actor, He made movies in Berlin and London and other European centers. When producers of English films doubted his ability to speak the language, Esmond would send them a recording of his volce— without explaining how long and carefully he had rehearsed. Although he hafls fromt: Vienna, it is pleasant to report that he is lacking' in that characteristic labeled “continental charm.” He's friéndly, though, with an ingratiating, lively interest in peo- ple and things American — especially, I gathered, the cooking. He likes it. 'Modest, t00. Admires Paul Muni, his fellow-towns- man, extremely—but hasn’t met him yet. He plays a'German war ace in the movie—but he can't abide air travel. He's unmarried — but there’s a fiancee in Vienna.
