The sensational success of “Blondie” has led Columbia to pro- duce a second film based upon the same lovable comic strip characters ~the Bunsteads . Blondie, Dag- wood and Baby Dumpling. This new film, “Blondie Meets the Boss, opens tonight at the Capitol Thea- tre with Penny Singleton and Ar- thur Lake again featured Said to be even funnier than its predecessor, “Blondie Meets the Bess” opens a note characteristic with Dagwood: he is in difficulty with his boss. Blondie’s effort to save his job for him results only in her taking his place at the office. Dag- wood is forced to stay home and do the hecusework. Ensuing events are climaxed by a jitterbug contest. Dag- wood inadvertently wins the con- test, but almost loses Blondie in the process. | Penny Singleton, talented young | stage and screen star, continues as “Blondie,” the efficient young Mrs. | Bumstead who is constantly having to rescue her blundering husband Dagwood from the troubles he man- ages to create. Lake portrays the irrepressible Dagwood.

You may leave the bridal roses around the base—to be removed by those who cut the bottom layer. The bride should cut the first piece and share it with her hus- band. If the cake is served at a reception, the bride cuts it, after greeting her guests. If it is the dessert at a luncheon or supper, she waits until dessért time to cut it. Members of the wedding party own cake or & taiter or some friend of the family may take over the knife. The serving of two separate cake: the groom, is almost obsolete. Today the bride’s cake is the only one featured. Light or dark fruit cakes, pound cakes, silver or golden layer cakes, with white or very light pastel frostings, are suitable. At large weddings only the married couple and members of the bridal party receive pieces of the bride’s cake. Individual pieces of cake in small boxes bearing silver initials—the first letter of the bride’s surname and the first letter of the bridegroom’s in the lower teft corner—are left where each guest may take one “to dream on.” JOAN DURHAM, AP Feature Service Writer then the guests, may cut their one for the bride, another for 2 NEW CAMPUS STYLE NOTE—withan create a furore at Swarthmore colege, She and Margaret Murray just arrived from Rurove, THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 4, 1939.
