There were sensational shots, sensa- tional blocks—and plenty of fouls— Krause losing Sammy Nelson in the third quarter, the Haida losinz Wal- dron and Wagoner in the fourth quarter by the personal route, and even a double technical foul in the last minutes of play when Jensen |and Staack were pushing each other around during a dead ball Begins €narkling | The game opened with Krause taking advantage of a befuddled Haida team and running up a 19 to 10 lead at the half, but at the pe- ginning of the second half, ihe Haida began to spark and check, evening the tally at 21-21 and be- | fore the third quarter was out, had the lead, 27-26. From there on out, the Haida took the lead. Big John Nagy stepped 1out of his lumbering lope and turn- ed loose surprising speed for a man his size. Staack did a beautiful job of guarding and accounted frequent- ly for goals.

When he fell and in- jured a knee, he got a big hand from the crowd, and a bigger hand when he returned to the war after a rest. Jensen Shines Mark Jensen, high man for the night with 12 points, shone for the Krause five, the veteran hoop pound- er marking a 100 per cent average for free throws. Just behind Jensen for Krause honors went Stragier, little dynamo of action who has a faculty for being everywhere at once. Krause lost the game on bad pass- es that were intercepted before they reached their mark, but if free throws had meant the whole game, Krause would have won, hands down. They potted nine out of four- teen free throws while the Haida scored only three out of thirteen. ‘Two referees worked the game last night, George Willey, league whistle- tooter, and Haida Paymaster, Wil- liam McKellar Schools Tangle The nightcap game in which Ju- neau High whipped the smaller Douglas aggregation 51 to 26 was a marathon.

If you mention Mr. Sinith Goes to Washington, Farewell to Arms, A Star Is Born, Goodbye Mr. Chips, or any other outstand- ing film, it turns out that they haven't seen it. On further inquiry you discover that what they REALLY mean is why don't you do Five Little Peppers Abroad or The Ordeal of Richard Carvel—in fact, ANY book that happens to have been their own particular favorite on first learning to read. The answer to this question, although simple, is one that they seldom are able to understand. It involves the realities of cost and profit—a subject too sordid for art-lovers of this kind since time first began. They persist in confusing the production of motion pictures with the writing of books and plays, and even @Ijfl[fl’ that's lhl reception charming hestessess give thoughtful guests who bring gifts of deliciows Van Duyn Candles.

All thése arts are contaihed in motion pictilres but they firid their Gutjet only through their acceptance by the People—~people with a cabital P, ‘which as we all know is different ffom the Best People With a' big B. i Picturea like werythtng else in this world have to be paid for and they are vuy expensive to m The picture producer, unlike’ thé book publishér and the art dealer, must of necessity aim at a very large audlence, and even then he is gambling on getting back the sheer cost of his product. If he ever aims at that special, educated, articulate audience alone, he is doomed. In fact, it is encouraging that the quality and standard of pictures can be held so high when its audience must be so vast. This art-loving, trash-hating minority always have an answer: Why not make pictures for a special audience and releose them throughout the country in a chain of special houses. They want houses now! Houses where they can all sit together and see something really worthwhile. If the writer should attempt to go into the cost of operating a theatre, they reach for their hats. I venture to say that there are as many sincere, intelligent people engaged in the motion picture business as in any business one could name—and they have a tremendous love and enthus- fasm for that business. But they realize that primarily it belongs to the people—that it lives by their approbation and languishes by their indifference. There are no “patrons” in pictures—there are no limited edi- tions or subscription societies to keep the pot boiling for very long. The motion picture business stands or falls on its ability to please millions. It is essentially a child of democracy—and 1, for-one, am content that it remain that way.
