Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Rabbin Cosms HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 8.—I've just seen all of Hollywood— or its spirit—on a sound stage. It was a scene for a movie, “On Your Toes,” which so far as I know has nothing to do with Hollywood but I may be wrong. The set represented the hall of a hotel's top floor, taken over by a mad troupe of Russian dancers. The camera dollied (moved back on a truck) from the elevator door, whence Eddie Albert and Leonid Kinsky emerged, the former in goggle-eyed amazement at what transspired along his line of march. Albert and Kinsky, side by side, advanced toward the re- treating camera. Two male adagio dancers, in tights, strutted before them, bearing aloft a rigid feminine figure, also in tights, her arms flung wide. Four men, rattling duelling sabers, practiced fencing. A lady or two of the ballet roasted frankfurters over a blaze built in the sand-filled waste-receptacle by a door, and a gentleman of the chorus pressed his trousers. Dancers pirouetted and whirled and kicked with insane disregard for their own safety in the melee, and a happy cobbler in a Russian uniform (Leo White) mended his boots, entirely unconcerned over the mad- house about him. Many a tourist, seeing Hollywood's 10-ring circus for the first time, is as goggle-eyed as Eddie Albert was in this scene. Because Hollywood doesnt’ make much sense, either, until its efforts are reflected on the screen—if then. + The lady responsible for all this, because she’s the star, is Vera Zorina, late of “I Married an Angel” on Broadway, before Try a new recipe for Good Living .. .’ Take your wife and family out to dinner—often. Change the daily routine with a surprise visit any day of the week at Juneau's lead- ing cafe — PERCY’S that of Sam’s “Goldwyn Follies” in Hollywood, in which she was miscast as an exotic siren. Miss Zorina, probably because she’d seen it all before as star of the London stage production of “On Your Toes,” watched these goings-on only briefly and sauntered off the stage, a trim figure in dark green slacks and blouse, with brown sandals open to show painted toes. Sometime later I caught up with her again. She was sitting on the sidelines, far back, watching with interest and some awe the work of a fellow star named Bette Davis in a scene from “Elizabeth and Essex.” ‘When Bette came up to greet her (they’d never met before) the dialogue was thus: Bette: “So glad to see you! Are you happy? Nice script?” Zorina: “So glad. Yes. Very nice script, I think.” Bette: “Make yourself comfortable. They're calling me—I'll be back later.” Miss Zorina sat again, resumed watching with interest and some awe. Of the meeting, she told me later: “I was so excited —TI couldn't think of anything to say—I admire her so—I so rarely see pictures—but hers, I see all of them.” And I do believe she was trembling g little—Zorina who was Broadways' brightest charmer, the toast of New York, through her first appearance there! (The Davis gal—I think I've mentioned it before—is an actor’s actor.) Porky the Pig (Leon Schlesinger’s ham actor) has joined the patriotic parade of screen flag-wavers. Schlesinger let every- thing else wait, threw his whole staff on the job, to bring Porky’s contribution to movie nationalism in for a July 4 deadline. S. Larick Reveal Mar- iage of Two Weeks A surprise was in store last eve- ning for friends of Miss Violet Maxin and Mr. Samuel Zarick as | they gathered at the Dixon Street (residence of Percy Reynolds for the wedding ceremony of the popu- lar couple, who, it was learned, had | been married exactly two weeks 'ago at the Lutheran Church. For the quiet ceremony per- formed June 23 by the Rev. John | L. Cauble, the attractive bride was | gowned in blue lace with white accessories and wore a corsage of roses. Her only attendant, Miss Alene Sanderson, chose blue silk- Jcrepe for the wedding and wore a shoulder corsage of roses. Mr. Ed- ward Garnick was best man for | | the groom. Last evening the Rev. Cauble | presided over the announcement | party, which was even a greater | surprise to the two attendants, \ Miss Caroline Johnson and Mr. Ted | Reynolds, than to Mr. Earle Hun- |as the betrothal was revealed. { Following the announcement, a {reception was held at the Rey- nolds home, where the many | friends of the couple called to ex- tend their belated wishes of hap- piness. The bride’s table was cen-| wedding | tered with a four-tier cake, topped with a tiny bride and ' groom, while candles and arrange- ments of flowers throughout the rooms offset the gay scene. Mr. Zarick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emon Zarick of Butte, North Da- kota, came to Juneau several months ago as an employee for | Percy’s Cafe. He formerly attended the Prairie Bible Institute at Three Hills, Alberta, where he and his | bride will go in the fall to continue ‘wnh their studies. | Mrs, Zarick, also an employee of Percy's Cafe, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Maxin of Minot, North Dakota, and arrived {in this city about three months lago. The newlyweds are making their homr at the Juneau Hotel. 'SUSITNA SOIL | SURVEY PARTY | ENROUTE HERE l SEATTLE, July 8—Four Gov- | ernment Soil Conservation Service ‘ experts sailed today aboard the Co- jlumbia to make a survey of from /200,000 to 300,000 acres in the Mat- anuska and Susitna Valleys, seek- ing to put Alaska agriculture on a scientific basis. { The party is headed by W. A. | Rockie, Assistant Northwest Re- ! gional Conservator, and includes Clinon H. Morgan, James Caudle and H. A. Hooper, all soil erosion surveyors. | B Try an Empire ad. CAPITOL DRAMA "BOYS TOWN" OPENS SUNDAY | Spencer Tracy and Mukeyl Rooney Star in Feafure af Local Theatre Mickey Rooney has been elevated to stardom in “Boys Town,” cul- minating an unbroken list of suc- cesses during the past year which have made him one of the screen’s most popular personalities. The new picture, which stars Rooney with Spencer Tracy, comes Sunday to the Capitol Theatre for a three-day en- gagement. Teamed for the first time since “Captains Courageous,” Tracy's most recent smash hit was scored in “Test Pilot,” while Rooney con- | tinues to win acclaim for his work in “Love Finds Andy Hardy.” In their new picture, Tracy por- trays a living man, Father Edward J. Flanagan, who has devoted 21 years of his life to building a home | for neglected and abandoned boys. | Rooney plays Whitey Marsh, a boy | from the streets, who learns that a boy has to be really tough to be | good, when his gangster brother | places him in Father Flanagnn's: care. | Directed by Norman Taurog, who | made “Skippy,” and more recently, | “Tom Sawyer” and “Mad About Music,” the film is the factual story ' of Father Flanagan’s courageous and dramatic life and the colorful history of Boys Town, Nebraska, now an incorporated village with a population of 275, of which 200 are boys. The Home grew from an original investment of $90, a modest house in Omaha and five boy oc- cupants. Much of the picture was filmed at Boys Town. | “Boys Town” is a factual relation of the history of Boys Town, the most dramatic juvenile community ever attempted. In addition to giv- ing the dramatic background of the !amnus school it describes the man- ner in which a tough kid is borught | ner in which a tough kid is brought | generated by the methods institut- |ed by Father Flanagan. { Playing for the last times tonight is the return enagement of “David | Oopperfield,” starring Freddie | Bartholomew. GROSSISTOBUILD | " FAMILY MAUSOLEUM | " AT CEMETERY HERE Plans for construction of Juneau's first mausoleum were revealed at last night's City Council meeting when W. D.
