Sam Wood is a stickler for retaining the “flavor” of a book entrusted to him. “A good book,” he says, “has a definite flavor. against audiences to lose that flavor in the corse of making the picture. When the flavor's lost, it's usually because peo- ple fall back on stock patterns and formulas, and then you see a great hook transformed into an ordinary picture.” fine on the printed page, if done by a writer who knows doing, but transferring it to the screen is something It's a srime for perfection in each scene. The first, sccond, third “takes” may seem perfect to the observer, but to a 1 director the same “takes” may have flaws. He'll go on taking the scene until the flaws are out. Wood calls it. ‘keeping the flavor. “We're dealing in human moods,” he explains, “and that’s te stuff to handle. If it’s not exactly right it's not convinc- in? and it is isn't convineing it's no good. If you accept a scene with bugs in it, the willingness to accept it may mean the dffer- ence between a mediccre picture and a good one. You can’t add up intangibles, as you can numbers, and depends on a. correct answer. A scene ha sto have the right feel.” Sam Wood isn't an “arty” director. He dresses like a busi- T man, and his only explanation for staying at the top in pictures for more than two decades, while many of his confreres have fallen out, is the “business-like attitude.” 3 “A business man who doesn’t keep his eye onstantly on his pusiness,” _he say, “can’t make it pay.

Greta Garbo in “Ninotchka,” or{ human, gentle humor in the| everyday lives of everyday people, has been proven for all to see in this new picture. It is a pleasure to see Miss Sul- an back on the screen again, nd this most charming and tal- ented of actresses is perfe teamed with Stewart who makes the most of another fine acting opportunity to compare with his great performance in “Mr, .Smith Goes to Washington.” They are clerks in a little Budapest leather goods and novelty shop, both seek-| ing romance. They look for it out- side of their own small world, quarreling constantly, and then discover that they are quarreling because they are in love, Sharing the plaudi stal is a flawless cast. Frank Morgan never has appeared (o better advantage than in the role of the shop owner. Joseph Schild- kraut is thoroughly dislikable as the rascally clerk who has an af- | fair with the wife of his kindly | boss. Felix Bressart, who provided 50 many laughs in the role of the| lanky Russian commissar in “Nin- otchka,” is the timid clerk, afraid of the boss, the butcher and the doctor. Also effective in supporting roles are Sara Haden, William Tracy, Inez Courtney, Sarah Ed- wards, Edwin Maxw: Charles Halton and (,h‘u]es Smith. NINA SOI.OVIEVA IS PRAISED FOR SEATTLE RECITAL Newspaper Article Tells of Informal Musical Giv- | enin Queen City | | Music lovers of Juneau and {friends of Nina Solovieva will be! | interested in the following article | | which appeared in one of the re-| \cvm Sunday issues of the Seame J‘nnes A few of with the months ago Mrs. Erroll Rawson, former president of the | Ladies’ Musical Society, on a visit| to Alaska, found a voice; sort of a voice in the wilderness but a]w—‘ gether delightful, It was the voice of a shy, young| | woman named Nina Solovieva. She| | had spent her uneventful childhood | in San Francisco's Russian Colony.| Then life began to open new vistas for her when someone discovered she had a rich, natural voice when she sang snatches of Slav folk songs. From there on her story prob- ably is that of the average young- ster struggling with music lessons and the long, tedious drill they en- tail, But the drudgery became fun when she sailed for Italy a few years ago and became a. pupil of. | Louisa Tetrazzini, in her day the| | greatest of coloraturas. Nina’s rich lower register delighted the old-| time diva, and the upper register developed well under her skmm tutelage. Presently Nina had a contract with Milan's famed La Scala Opera Company, But TItaly went to war -about |that time, and Tetrazzini died, and the San Francisco pupil decided America was a better place in which to be even’if its opportuni- ties for young opera singers aren't as_numerous as. TItaly affords. She was visiting in Juneau last summer when Mrs. Rawson met her and was charmed by her voice. | When she learned recently the | singer was coming back from Al-! aska, Mrs. Rawson invited in a/ group of Seattle’s musicians and | concert-goers. and had them hear| the ‘“unknown.” There weren’t any critics there to report the little recital in the Rawson home, but those who heard her weren’t merely polite in their praise, and they were agreed that the musical world will hear more of Nina Solovieva, war or no war. | C.D.

U. S. Marshal J. R. Wright of the Northern District of Texas, with offices at Fort Worth, and Deputy Marshal Rufus Pevehouse, who is in charge of .the Dallas Di- vision, say this is the farthest they ever came to bring a fugi- Marshal Wright once went from Fort Worth to Montreal for a prisoner. Fort Warth to Jurieau is a bit farther. , Parale Viclator The Ketchikan fugitive, Jess Willard Greene, 29, has a long record of counterfeiting, the olri-‘ cers. said,, He was sentenced in 1937 by Federal Judge James C. Wilson to two years in prison, bu was let out on probation. Greene| | never reported a single time to the | probation officer, and until a Fed—[ eral Bureau of Investigation check |of fingerprints proved the Ketchir kan prisoner to be the man wanted in’ Texas, Marshal Wright had not heard from him. 3 New Act Greene was taken off a north- bound steamer under a new stow- away act, making it a federal of- fense to stow away on any U, S. vessel. The_ officers will leave tomorrow on the steamer Yukon, picking up‘ Greene at Ketchikan and continu-! ing to Seattle where they left, the automobile in which they drove north. Today Marshal Wright and Deputy Pevehouse were “talking shop” with Marshal William T. Mahoney here and seeing the sights of Juneau in his company.
