WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED MEDICATIONS OF THEIR KIND Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 17.—Something's got to be done about it. The movies are making newspapering tco goldarned attrac- tive. Any youngster who knows his movie reporter knows he's a sucker not to be in the So the competition will be terrific. ding oldsters will have to step out I say something’s got to be done. According to the movies, any youngster—girl or boy—IS a sucker not to be a reporter. The boys, job-hunting, all learn from the screen that report- ers, nine times out of ten, will marry the richest girl in the world. To make it worse, the girl with the dough is pretty sure to be (a) Loreita Young or (b) Joan Crawford or (c) Bette Davis or (d) Virginia Bruce or (e) Claudette Colbert. game.” The unglamorous, plod- I don’'t wanna step out. For added inducement, the boys learn from the movies that reporters always are privileged to tell their managing editors to (a) go to hell, and (b) go to hell again. For the girls now, it's different. Almost anything can happen to a movie gal reporter. The important thing, of course, is that she invariably meets nice young men. If not Errol Flynn or Gable, she is fairly certain to smite the heart of Pat O'Brien, Michael Whalen, Barton MacLane or Cesar Romero. The nice young man may be a rival reporter, but occasionally he’ll be the richest man in the world. In the movies, too, a girl reporter is always turned out so neatly in wardrobe and coiffure that you know she makes a whopping salary. You never know how she does it, but Claire L e e ...DINNER... is the highlic/ht of the day when it is prepared by the master chefs and served excellently, amid the sparkling surroundings of the new PERCY’S - S Trevor's sob sisters seldom wear the same outfit twice. Gloria Stuart’s scoop-hunters are smartly attired on all occasions, and Glenda Farrell's Torchy Blane takes no back seat in fashion either. Most girls can' go through life without running smack into a plot, but never your gal reporter in the movies. Every trip through Chinatown, every stroll past a deserted warehouse or along a foggy wharf, is fraught with peril and a scoop. The girl not only survives the former and cops the latter, but achieves both ends without ruffling her hair or mussing her natty clothes. The girl reporters, too, are unhandicapped by ethical consid- erations. They can cheat, lie, steal—see Claire Trevor in “Five of a Kind"—and they can get righteously indignant when the rival sheet beats them at all games. They can borrow nickels from unsuspecting rivals—see Torchy Blane—to ’phone in their scoops, and they can marry the victim—see Rosalind Russell in “Four’s a Crowd’—to get the “inside story.” Whether that’s better than marrying the victim to provide a home for a Dead End Kid—see Joan Blondell in “Love Bites Man"—is merely a matter of opinion. There’s one hope, however. In “Dodge City” Olivia de Havilland is a reporter. She writes society items—this is 1872— and she has to wear a corset. But even this movie unfortunate gets Errol Flynn. Even this girl reporter meets so many inter- esting people. &\ 14 THRIFT CO-OP 3uy for CASH and Save the PROFITS PHONE 767 TH G-E “APOLLO” A beautiful new bolster- base range with many special features never before offered at a pop- ular price.

DOUGLAS The Daily Alaska SHORT TALKS O (FIFTH Prepar Empire Presents-—-- N ADVERTISING SERIES) ed by the Bureau of Research and Education, Advertising Federation of Ameries What Is ¢« Consumer? Number 7 If you like slogans, you may accept this one: “The consumer is king.” Not clever, perhaps, but very true—and important. As a motto, it figuratively hangs over the door of every business office and every factory in the land. Yes, and over the doorways of farmers who raise our foodstuffs, too. It is literally true that consumers have the power of life or death over every busi- ness enterprise. They decide exactly what products shall be made and who shall be permitted to make them. They decide what form of distribution they want and which storekepeers shall remain in business. Con- sumers decide what kind of - advertising there is to be, for in making their choice of brands they reward certain advertisers and punish others. Who are these all-powerful consumers who daily write the destines of business? They are the man and the woman with the buying dollar—the voting dollar. They go to the business polls every day of the year, casting their vote-dollars with the butcher, the baker, the automobile maker. They vote for the products théy like and for the com- panies they approve. Some advertisers succeed and others fail. They lay their ¢laims before consumers, and the consumer dollars decide. There is no recourse and no appeal. No amount of fancy theory can change the simple fact that the consumer is the boss, and always will be, so long as we safeguard our system //f free private enterprise. Consumers are not a special class of people. You cannot classify our population under the divisions of capital, labor, and consumers. Each of us is a bit of all three. Everyone who has any savings, property, or insurance belongs to the capital class. Every- one who works for pay belongs to the labor cla And everyone who bu things be- longs to the consumer cla Practically everybody is a consumer, except the child who is not old enough to run to the corner store for candy. This makes it clear why there is no such thing as all business being on one side of the fence and all consumers on the other. But for each individual business the con- sumers are well defined. They are the cus- tomers and potential customers. There are a million separate businesses, and their many groups of consumers criss-cross and overlap. But in every individual case, con- sumers control the fate of the business that depends on their patronage. This fact is the very essence of economic freedom in America. In several other coun- tries the governments determine what prod- ucts shall be made available to consumers and which business concerns shall survive. Under such conditions the people lose es- sential liberties and normal progress must stop. The American way is the better way. Here it is up to every business to please con- sumers by its own efforts; to produce the best goods it can, and to advertise them to the public. This is the way of progress, the way to higher standards of life. So long as the consumer is king, America will always be free. Copyright 1938, Advertising Federation of Amerrca
