Includ- &1 among these was the largest at Sitka, 66 feet high *The life of these old poles can e lengthened for- perhaps 12 or 15 moré years by building scaffolds around them so they can be re- paired in place. Decay will be re- moved, the ailing portions soaked in preservative and built up to their original contours with carved cedar and marine glue or with plas- tic wood, after which they will be repainted and covered with a spec- jal waterproof varnish. 12 Being Treated About a dozen poles are being treated in the regular way, being taken down, spruced up and re- placed. Some of the poles at Sitka are 60 years old and in fairly good con- | dition. One of the newer ones carved in 1903 especially for the ex- position, however, was found to be in bad shape. The CCC is also doing trail main- tenance work and bank protection on.Indian River in the Sitka Na- tional Monument. e ICE WORN IS = THEME OF NEW JUNEAU DANCE sa Wiggfla'lhal Rofary Will Swing During Convention from Baccalaureate exei s for the class of nineteen hundred and thirty nine will be held in the High School gymnasium on the evening of May 21, it was announced today by Sup- erintendent A.

Paramore, Jr., Jan Fortune from story by Harold Shumate, Wells Root. Di- rected by George Nicholls, Jr. Cast: Richard Dix, Gail Patrick, Edward Ellis, Joan Fontaine, Ralph Morgan, Robert Barrat, Victor Jory, Robert Armstrong, George Hayes, C. Henry Gordon, Janet Beecher, Pedro de Cordoba. HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, April 28.—The life of Sam Houston con- tained enough material for three feature-length movies. “Man of Conquest” undertakes the difficult task of concentrating this career of action and courage into one film. And the job is well done. Action drama with a stirring patriotic keynote, the story sug- gests the early life of the Texan hero in a few interesting sequences, dwells at sufficient length on his brief unhappy marriage and its aftermath—his return to the friendly Cherokees to become their adopted son. Houston (Dix) is a man of freedom. To restore liberty to his adopted people, he returns to the white man’s world at Andrew Jackson’s behest. Dreaming of a kingdom to be wrested for hiself from the Mexican territory of Texas, he heads south. In- tending to stir up a revolution against Stephen Austin (Morgan) and his peaceful course with Mexican dictatorship, Houston is swerved from that purpose by a visit from Jackson (Ellis), becomes instead a volunteer commander in the fight for Texas freedom, eventually sees Jackson's dream—of Texas as a state in the Union —fulfilled. Crammed with vigorous action and resounding dialogue, the theme of which is freedom first and last, “Man of Conquest” is a flag-waving thriller. Finest scene in the piece is between Houston and Jackson, when the latter reminds the dominant fighting man of his inescapable Americanism, the virtues of democracy, ] we know just what yow’re looking for: a good mah *'sized "Tunth, tasty, varied and reasonably priced - 40cents— ’ yow’ll find it at the freedom that had not died, though men died fighting for, it. Here is dialogue that might have been written for today, and it has a spine-tinling quality. Siege of the Alamo by the armies of Santa Anna (Gordon) is graphically presented, and the story rises to spectacular climax in Houston’s charge on the Mexicans at San Jacinto—a panorama of action as excifing as you're likely to see. Dix’s characterization is his best since “Cimatron,” but Ellis’s Jackson overshadows the other performances. Miss Patrick is a heroine of character as well as beauty, and Miss Fontaine's brief part is sensitively recorded. George Hayes, as the old pioneer, Lannie Upchurch, injects a note of rustic humor. “East Side of Heaven,” Screenplay by William Conselman from story by David Butler and Herbert Polesie. Directed by David Butler. Cast: Bing Crosby, Joan Blondell, Mischa Auer, Irene Hervey, C. Aubrey Smith, Robert Kent, Jerome Cowan, “Sandy” Henville. Bing here has another of those easy-going roles in which he’s happiest. A crooner of telegraphed “greetings” and later a “cruis- ing troubadour” for a taxi company, he gets involved in the domestic troubles of a wealthy young couple (Kent and Hervey) who are separated by a domineering father (Smith.) Result: Bing and roommate (Auer) find the couple’s baby on their hands—and that's where the fun really begins. “Sandy”—a milkman’s daughter, although here billed as a boy—steals the show with her bright face, enthusiastic “acting” and handling of “dialogue.” Bing créons several good numbers, and Miss Blondell, playing his sweetheart, is a pleasant partner. Some of the intended laughs don’t quite make the grade, but others do. And when “Sandy” comes on, the picture plops into the sure-fire hit division. %
