In ‘an en- deavor to escape the overtures of the too eager admirer, he persuades his publisher to send him onh a lec- ture tour of the South. Here meets Nancy, a small-town girl. | | Casually inviting her to seek his help should she ever get'into trou- ble in New York, heé forgets all about her, only to find her waiting at the penthouse apartment he | shares with his friend, the publish- er, upon his return. The ensuing complications provide sowc of the t and merriest comedy scen son Janet Gaynor is excellent as the small-town girl who puts her trust in the none-too-reliable hands of her newly-found metropolitan friends. | Montgomery plays the debonair no- | velist to the hilt, and Tone is ideally | | cast as the somewhat bibulous pub- | lisher. ‘ ‘h a double bill with George O'Brien in “Painted Desert” as the first fea-| ture and “Swing Sister Swing” as the second. R (ANADIAN GROUP 1 T0. OFF-SET BAD ALASKA PUBLICITY Films, LedlEs—, Slides Be- fore Club Groups Used as Medium Canadian National Railway is flinging all the resources of its | publicity and advertising depart- into publicizing Alaska throughout the United States and | canada more completely than it |has been done heretofore. Through 'llll’ aid of motion pictures, lecture ,Lours and illustrated talks, Cana- |dian National will, in addition to stimulating its own business | through this medium, endeavor to | counteract. much adverse publicity which has been given the Terri- tory through misinformation, both inadvertent and deliberate. An important factor in the trans- portation company’s program is the work of Hamilton H. Jones, pub-| licity and advertising representa- tive of the company, who has been | |in the Interior for the past few weeks making motion pictures, spe- cifically in the territory which is served by the White Pass and Yu- kon Railroad. Mr. Jones arrived in Juneau aboard the Prince Ro- bert and will spend the next week ' in this neighborhood. | “Thete i5'little doubt,” Mr. Jones said this morning, “that the fact that lack of understanding of Al-| aska and her problems has led to serious curtailment not only of the tourist business but, 'equally im- portant, that it has precluded the investment of outside private capi- tal which should ‘be pouring into the Territory and to which this country is rightfully entitled. | To Set Out True Facts “Canadian National,” he said, “is going to try to set this condition right. Although. the scenic. objec- tives of \the pictures we have made | are of great importance we also are trying to stress the advances made in ecopomic. conditions and in business enterprises, large and small. There has been much writ-| ten about Alaska by persons who have little or no authority for the things they say, by people who fly in and out, see the. country in three or four short weeks and then sit down and try to tell the pub- lic how much they know about this last frontier.” | Mr. Jones, who is Staying at the Baranof Hotel, is working with 16| mm. equipment, using Eastman | Kodachrome film, which will en-| able people to see Alaska in all its natural beauty. | On his return to headquarters in Montreal his films will be assem- bled and edited and Mr. Jones will then set out across the United States and Canada, lecturing be- fore various organizations and showing his. pictures before count-| less thousands of persons for about six months, While he is in Juneau he will at- tempt to make pictures in the Al-| aska Juneau mine, although he is | doubtful of ' the results inasmuch | as the lighting problem would in- volve a prohibitive expense. He wil | however, cover the Taku and Men- denhall Glaciers as part of his assignment, and plans in his le-c“ tures to emphasize progress in the| dairying and farming industries in \ | I ! | | | | ments rmd around this neighborhood. i he| Showing for the last time 1()1\1"1\! - What * Broad- way ballet star (inphoto), playing her first starring role in pic- tures, will dance to her § " husband’s | A e ¥ : choreogra- phy? | | l Marie *Blake, the character tress, is the sister of what famous star of screen musi- cals? 3, Whattop- ® notch co- medianand comedienne, both of whom have had stormy ca- reers in pic- tures and on the radio, soon are to be co- starred ina movie?
