Has His Arguments Why not set the financing up on a different basis, argues Frank. After all, when railroads default in interest payments on their bonds, the bondholders are thrown into something of the same position as the common stock holders. They can't sell the railroad and get their money out of it, regardless of what is written. on the bond. The best they can claim is a priority share in such earnings as the railroad may have. And when the railroad reorganization is complete, chances are the face value of their bonds is cut down much as if it had been common stock. But the real danger, Frank ar- gues, is that when a railroad runs shy of income, the management begins neglecting upkeep and other necessary expenses in order to pay interest on the bonds. Unless such payments are made they face what Frank calls the “hideously expensive ' and drastic remedy of bankruptey and reorganization.” The pending railroad legislation would, among other things, set up a special bankruptcy court to ex- pedite railroad financing. Frank would take the next step and see to it that the indigestible bond val- ues are replaced with more flexible types of security whose values and earnings will rise and fall with railroad earnings. FRANK TAKES TRIP ON ALASKA SHIPS Frank Karabelnikof, of the Alaska | Dock and ‘Storage Gompany, re- turned on the Baranof Saturday from a short trip to Ketchikan. Frank went down on the Aleutian and made connections with the| Baranof at the First City, visiting friends in Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchikan.

HARRI MACHINE SHOP Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Rabbin Cosas , June 12.—Most ironic casting of the week: “Forgotten Women.” It's been more than a year ince Sigrid’s last picture. It was “Algiers,” in which she was cast as the “name” girl opposite Charles Boyer. The picture came out—and Gurie was caught in the back- wash of Hedy Lamarr’s discovery by the fans, jokesmiths, and producers. She has made two pictures—this Brooklyn-born Nomefinn girl who fooled Sam Goldwyn with her story of success on the Norwegian stage, and subsequently surprised Hollywood by having an unsuspected husband twrn up. Both in “The Adventures of Marco Polo” and in “Algiers” she wore black wigs, played “exotic™” types. This time out she plays herself—a chestnut blonde, and she likes it. Sigrid herself places no stock in the idea that Lamarr’s rise obscured her chances. “I have had many good words from pro- duce; she says. ve spent the months fixing up my house— there is so much work to do. I'm being married (to Dr. Lawrence Spangard) some time after my divorce is final in July. No, not the next day—I wouldn't like that. . . The real reason Gurie hadn't made pictures was her salary demand—even the producers who gave her “good words” thought she was asking too much. Too much, probably, for a girl who hadn't grabbed the limelight from Lamarr, Dorris Bowdon may have 1mpu-s',n=d her friends in Memphis recently with her conversational knowledge of Hollywood and its HOLLYWOOD, Cal Sigrid Gurie in Whatever the Weather.. You'll be sure to find just what will "hit the spot” on the Luncheon and Dinner menus at — PERCY'’S people. . . ., If so (she confesses freely now) it's because she “read up” on the town in film magazines on the train — “because I - eouldn’t go home and appear as ignorant of Hollywood as I really was. . ..” Less than a year here, most of her time has been spent - preparing for the screen work she is beginning to get, with little time for a course in Hollywood-ology. Incidentally, she has ditched “Judith Dickens” as a screen name, won back her own. . .. George Humbert is an Italian character actor, once a singer. The other day I saw him almost floored by a single musical word ~—Beethoven. George was playing a safe manager. He was supposed to hover over a table of guests, asking if everything was all right—as cafe managers, real and reel, insist on doing. “We have many things for your pleasure—a little Beethoven before dinner, perhaps?” That was the line. George said it; Bet-oven. Director Harold Young suggested: Baytoven, George tried it—three times, Each “take” was spoiled when he hit Beethoven. Not because he said “Bet-oven” but because, trying hard, he fumbled the word entirely. Director Young relaxed and said, “Never mind—say it your own way, George.” The next stage was perfect. George said Bay-toven—and it rolled off his tongue as glibly as spaghetti rolls down! ¢
