Frank Baum story, published in 1900, is excel- lent motion picture material The answer is found at the Cap-| itol Theater where “The Wizard of Oz" opens Sunday for an en-| gagement of three days. “The Wizard of Oz” is an all-| family picture. It will delight adults. | The picture has all of the charm of Baum’s delightful book “mch} millions have read. But the story| has an adult-appeal in plot, clever- in lines and situations, lilt-| songs which will delight all| from three to 103, lyrics which| will amuse the youngsters and| bring chuckles to the grown-ups. Judy Garland gives one of the screen’s greatest child performances of all time as Dorothy. Frank Mor-| gan, as the Wizard, was never| funnier while his scene where ‘1(“ grants the heart-felt wishes of lho{ principals has a heart tug and a| philosophy which will never be‘ forgotten nding tonight is the double‘ feature, “North of the Yukon” ‘Storm Over Bc‘ngnl" ing and | KATE SMITH RANKSHIGH, RADIO WORK Is Highest Paid Woman on Air-Gets Three Mil- lion Annually By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, April 20. — The highest paid woman in radio—if you are interested in mundane in- formation — is Kate Smith of Broadway and iake Placid, who| | conducts an hour’s broadcast nne‘ | evening each week and a 15-minute | chat at noon five days every week. It is believed her current three- | year contract calls for more than | $3,000,000. This is the contract with the | famous “war” clause. It is so |drawn up that it can not be bro- ken unless the U. S. becomes en- | gaged in a war for a period in ex- cess of five years. If you go up to 1820 Broadway and ride the elevator to the top| you will find a door with the word “Kated” in black, square letters on the door. Miss Smith’s mana- ger and representative is Ted Col- | Kate and Ted have incorpo- investments together. It is said there is no contract be-| tween them. | | They own part of an island in| Lake Placid on which are five| buildings, two boat houses and a| number of speed boats. Therc‘ Kate Smith spends her summers, | swimming and aquaplaning. On May 1, Kate Smith will be 31 years old. It was just nine years ago, on her birthday, that| she began her broadcasting ca- reer. Previous to this she was merely a lonesome girl, not very| happy, singing in a Broadway | show and working with comedi- ans whose jokes annoyed and dis- tressed her, Collins heard her | sing and came around to see her. He wanted to interest her in mak- their partnership. “Short'nin Bread,” Wolfe. Instrumental Duet, Thomas Hub- ley, Patrick Pawsey. Four-part mixed: “Gloria in Excelsis,” ‘Beautiful Savior,” ‘Sanctus,” Gounod. “Kentucky Babe,” Geibel. “Because,” Hardelot. “Hallelujah Chorus,” Handel. ————— ATTENTION MASONS Stated Communication of Juneau Lodge Monday evening 7:30.

And yet, with all her success and earnings have brought her, my guess is that even now Kate Smith’s life is, well less than joyous. No one has said or even intimated |such a thing to me.
