BEHRENDS CO., Inc. “Juneau’s Leading Department Store” Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 14.—In this land of silk and phoney you get accustomed to thinking most big movie people are million- aires. At least, you think, they have a firm grip on their first half-million. So we all laughted, a little more than a year ago, when Tay Garnett sat down at the piano and twiddled off a tune about a serious round-the-world movie expedition in his yawl, Athene. “Going to work, ch?” we all laughed “yeh, work,” said Tay. “Meh, heh,” we chuckled. “Work. That's a good one. But will you please say that with a twinkle in your eye, like the Tay obligingly twinkled. He usually does, anyway, being the son of one William Muldrough and slightly I So we land- bound oafs stood on the docks and watched the slick “Athene cleave a clean path toward the open sea. . Well, Tay came back, and it seems that he did work. He's keeping it up over at Walter Wanger's place now, whipping up a piece of celluloid called “Trade Winds.” He has Fredric March, Joan Bennett, Ralph Bellamy, Ann Sothern and Robert Elliott acting out and filling in a story that Tay photographed on his trip. It was just a “pleasure cruise,” but— “T gambled practically everything I owned to make it. Went in hock, and came back broke with a bill for back income tax waiting for me,” Tay grinned today.. “That boat had a complete film laboratory on board—and you don’t fix one of those up with peanuts. The trip, all told, set me back about $170,000—but I think it's going to be worth it.” He brought back about 60,000 feet of film, exposed in various . parts of the world—"and every foot of it,” he said, “is going to WHY NOT ENJOY A REALLY DELICIOUS SUNDAY DINNER AT THE NEWER-FINER PERCY’S be useful in this picture or in the next one I make. That's to be ‘World Cruise,’ and I've got the story for that one, top.” Garhett set out with a fairly complete shooting script of “Trade Winds"—he's the author—to go by. He shot backgrounds that he would need for his story of a San Francisco girl ac- cused of murder and pursued through the Orient by a heel of & detective. He wrote that kind of a story—mostly a “chase"—for a definite reason. Like all directors, Tay Garnett wants to be his own producer. It's tough for a director to get backimg for his independent pro- duction efforts. The money-lenders lend to those who HAVE produced, not to those who'd like to. So Tay’s - pass-word—he hopes—-will be “Trade Winds,” done for Wanger. “There’s been a great deal of process photography used in pictures,” Tay explains, “but I don't believe its full possibilities have been realized. I'm hoping that ‘Trade ‘Winds'—utilizing some of those backgrounds We got on the trip—will demonstrate something new in the field. If it does, then I think I'll be set to make ‘World Cruise’ on my own.” Process photography—which really “brings the world” to serve as a Hollywood stage—is a subject most movie producers avoid discussing. Garnett's idea is to' use “process” so ocou- vineingly that the fans, even if they know how it's done, will ud the more oply sppia “So _you all thought the trip was just for fun, huh?” he stop there long enough to pick up some more—to get the boat bagk home! Oh, I've retrieved now—but that ‘pleasure cruise’ was the biggest gamble I've ever made.” L 5 S ———————" “Well, I ran out of marbles in England and I had to “LOOKS 600D” TOMINING MAN Walter Johnson Sees New Prosperity in Every | North Camp (Conunuea 1rom Page Ope) neau the port of entry. “Spruce Creek is probably one of the richest creeks in the North,” |Johnson said. “Fhere are many streams in that country that are |proving up and will become prob- able producers with the application |lof the proper equipment and cor- porate finance.” Wil Drill Johnson said he is planning to drill Jim Pirney’s ground on lower Spruce next year.

Wattamuse Dredged try, his 2%-foot dredge, is “doing | |very well”. and Johnson believes \that Goodnews Bay, limelighted by ([the platinum rush, has entered an era. of gold development. Johnson noted this summer “more than ever before,” a feeling of “im- proving property” everywhere he |journeyed in the Territory, from Fairbanks and the Fortymile tc |the Anchorage district, Seward Pen- insula, and on down the line to Ketchikan. “It's hard to put your finger on the exact impression you get,” John- son said, “But that feeling of in- |creasingly better times and brighter |future for the North is definitely | there.” | In discussing Alaska's develop- |ment needs, talking of the certain benefits of more roads, and the |inevitable gold tax question, John- |son sounded a new note from the camps opposing the present tax when he urged, not repeal, but amendment regarding the use of the funds gotten from the tax. “A lot of the pain would be taken out.of the tax if the Leg- islature would make definite dis- position of a certain amount of the aggregate tax take for the building of new roads, for which it was understood the tax was oriz- inally levied.” And Johnson suggested still an- other new note in Alaska planning when he touched on the long con- sidered possibility of encouraging | prospecting. | “Next year I am bringing up a light drill to loan to a couple of |prospectors I have in mind to |enable them to get to bedrock | | without bucking the problem of | |thawing winter holes down and §nmnlns into water.” | Johnson believes a plan might | | be worked: out where the Territory | prospectors who have enough| trouble getting grubstakes without | incurring the impossible expense of | | prospecting equipment. | | “Such drills could be located at| | strategic points about the Territory for prospectors’ use at the dis- |erimination of Bureau of Mines engineers.” | Going south on the Denali to- | night, Johnson will spend the win- iter in_his San.
