Aug. 28—How we'll live through the sus- but RKO isn’t letting anybody see “The HOLLYWOOD, Cal., pense of it all I don't know, or take pictures of Charles Laughton in his makeup as Hunchback of Notre Dame.” The solemn edict came down from above as Laughton plunged —without splash-—into the excesssive heat of the studio ranch location where Paris's famed cathedral has been duplicated, there to do his duty by Victor Hugo and the memory of the late Lon Chaney. You're to be completely surprised when you see the hunch- back on the screen, and not before then, if the ediet is faithfully obeyed. For the present, then it gives me pleasure to pass on, as best I can, the impressions of the cathedral-haunter as re- layed by Elsa Lanchester. Miss Lanchester, being Laughton’s wife, is a privileged character, but even she has not sen all “just a few of the rushes, and the first stages of the make-up” “There's a suggestion of a human being somewhere in the head,” she informs helpfully. “At least, you get the impression that under the scalp there must be something resembling a skull, although you're not sure. At first they tried a number of dif- ferent effects—some of which looked as if Salvador Dali, the surrealist, might have had a hand in them. What they finally achieved—well, Charles’s face looked exactly like a chest of draw- ers—all knobby.” Miss Lanchester, small and bright-eyed, with a shock of short-cropped flaming curls, regards that coiffure as her great- est trial. “It doesn’t just curl PERCY'’S IS BETTER THAN EVER NOW — MORE MODERN MORE ATTRACTIVE — INSIDE AND OUT AND EVEN THE FOOD IS BET- TER TOO! it frizzes,” she says. “When we made ——- “The Beachcombr’ (in which she played a prim, strait-laced school-mar'm) I had to wear a stocking cap all night and half the morning to keep it flat. I could spend a fortune at a hair- dresser’s, which I don’t, and after it all I'd look just as if I had one of the cheapest, frizziest permanents. What can I do? So I just let it alone.” The Laughtons will be here all summer, adding to the galety of Hollywood if not of nations, before returning to England to “The Beachcomber' (in which she played a prim, strait-laced Mille once movified under the asionishing title of “Male and Fe- male.” (But that was in the days when Hollywood itself was more astonishing, if possible, than it is now.) For the sake of nations above mentioned, I hope Miss Lan- chester will contrive some bit of nonsense for their new picture such as she inserted in “The Beachcomber” that old nursery song to the effect that here we go gathering nuts in May. “I thought of it,” she will confess, “because it seemed like such a niece way to get the word ‘nuts’ past the censors. Said with the lips drawn back, snarling. Here we go gathering NUTS (lips drawn back, snarling) in May. See?” If you saw “The Beachcomber,” and if you didn't you should, you know how she looked saying that—and you know why that old English nursery tune rates high on my personal list of fav-, orites despite such bits as “Wishing” and “Stairway to the Stars” and all that Irving Berlin can do. Miss Lanchester, you may perceive, is not properly reverent in the matter of censors. For this dereliction she should, of course, be soundly spanked and given an academy award.

W. Stough, director of the Bureau of Economic Regulation of the Civil Aeronautics Authority at | Washington, D. C., it was revealed today by Ben Jacobs, here in Ju- neau, on what he called a “tour of familiarization” of aeronautic con- ditions in Alaska. Mr. Jacobs, who arrived in Juneau early yesterday aboard the Mount McKinley, is re« gional director of air carrier inspec- ‘| tion for the Seattle division of the |C.AA. R. W. Stough, accompanied by | William J, Madden, an attorney for | the Bureau of Economic Regulation, also arrived here on the McKinley | yesterday, but went straight through |to Anchorage, where he will com- mence the ‘hearings the end of this | month, | Mr. Jacobs flew to Sitka today | with Pilot Alex Holden aboard a Marine Airways plane to look over | the situation there, returning with Holden this afternoon. Tomorrow he (will fly to Fairbanks aboard the |PAA plane and from the Golden Heart city he will go to Anchorage to sit in on the hearings conducted by Mr. Stough “Grandfather” Clause The “grandfather” clause of the Civil Aeronautics Act specifies that the C.A.A. shall have the right and authority to determine whether or not an applicant can carry on a com- | merctal aviation business, inchiding | both passenger and freight traffic, within a given area without offer- | ing detrimental competition to other commercial air carriers. The sessions in Anchorage, Mr. Jacobs said, were not so much to ‘hold “hearings” on applications as to explain the requirements of pub- lic convenience and neécessity, as applied by the act. The sole purpose |of the clause involved, he. said, Is |to eliminate the possibly destruc- {‘llw’ elements of competition. | Mr. Jacobs does not expect to {stay in Anchorage after his tour of the Fairbanks area for any length of time, the pressure of business nec- | essitating his return to Seattle not ‘llnmr than September 15. | Mr. Jacobs, incidentally, was a |member of the first survey flight of the Yankee Clipper of Pan Ameri- lcan Airways to Europe last March, (when it flew from Baltimore to ln-ance and England in the estab- |lishment of permanent and regular commercial air $ervice between the | United States and Europe. e ———— GUCKER RETURNS | Jack Gucker, traveling man, has returned to Juhéad” from A trip to e, — Try The Empir. classifieds for | resuits. | ARE INSURED, ARE INSTANTLY AVAILABLE AND EARN GREAT- ER RETURNS m;fi |Savings and Loan Assn. of Juneau TELEPHONE 3
