Unusual in its premise of presenting one of' the strongest love stories to come out of Hollywood in months, and yet never showing before the camera the masculine objects of the vari- ous women's affections, “The Wo- men” may well be nominated as the most unusual production of any year. It is decidedly top enter- tainment from every angle, with sharp, snappy dialogue, thrilling situations and sets of eye-filling beauty Not since “Riptide” has Norma Shearer appeared in a similar role and her return to drawing-room comedy is heralded by her many fans, Joan Crawford, portraying a “heavy” for the first time in her screen career, scores a decided tri- umph, as does Rosalind Russel who is proving one of Hollywood" most versatile actresses. Povali, imported from New York to create her stage role in the pic- ture, is a happy addition to the roster of Hollywood players, and Mary Boland and Paulettee God- dard garner more than a generous share of the plaudits. - Juneau Ski Club fo Elect New Officers AtMeefing Tonight All Juncau Ski Club members are requested to be present for election of officers, to be held this evening at 8 o'clock in the Grade School Auditorium instead of the Cily Council Chambers as originally planned Besides routine business the Ski Club movies will be shown, with views of the club’s social and out- door activities during the year.
