HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Jan. 24.—Gene Autry’s sensational climb is the big surprise of the latest hox office star rating, but equally remarkable is the return of another name that in the past three years was considered slipping. This is Wallace Beery, rated eighth among the Motion Pic- ture Herald's “top ten” a group in which Autry, hitherto distinguished only as “top cowboy star,” (which he still is), was placed fourth. Both men point up strikingly the visual and mental log jam that is among Hollywood's curses. Beery has been up and down in pictures for 30 years now. and around Hollywood he has been pretty much taken for granted. His pictures are never ‘“colossal” and they frequently are dis- missed hereabouts as “corny” and “the same old Beery stuff.” Possibly most of Wally's films are both — but what Hollywood's complacency overlooked was that this year at least, paying patrons over the country loved his brand of “corn” and “stuff.” Beery for four years straight — until 1936 — rated top ten and it into a decline until the new ratings revealed a re- markable comeback. As William R. Weaver, Herald commen- tator, points out, he may have been helped by the “swing of ercst to stories of America in the making,” (such as his wenty Mule Team” and “In Old Wyoming”) but he is still E ar who “owes less than most to his material.” Autry, who has led the cowboy stars for three years, is in the PERCY’S CAFE [ sToP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast, Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD ® FOUNTAIN szg\nc: © REFRESHMENT peculiar position now of a “top ten” name which has practically no audience in this town that makes names. His new “Melody Ranch,” budgeted at $500,000 and boasting unusual supporting players for an Autry film — won showings at a downtown Los Angeles vaudeville house, but usually an Autry fan has to chase around among the suburban theatres to “find an Autry.” The jolt from the poll may place him at last in the more elite showcases, but our guess is that such a move would be short- lived. A glance at the list of ten sacrosancts of the box office reveals that 1940 was preponderantly a man's year, with only Bette Davis and Judy Garland entering as ninth and tenth, re- spectively. This may be explained in part by thé year's em- phasis on American biography, historical adventure, and comedy. However, among the 15 “honor stars” the ladies had Deanna Durbin, Alice Faye, Myrna Loy, Dorothy Lamour, Gmger Rogers and Ann Sheridan. And the interesting thing about these polls is that, even as the results are compiled, the popular verdict may be changing. Not yet fully reflected, for instance, is Bob Hope's remarkable rise toward the end of '41. He is rated 18th. And Katherine Hep- burn, rated in the lowest recorded group now, partly because had no new pictures in the competition, has a certain she hit in “The Philadelphia Story.” to the entertainment world one of the outstanding productions of the received The total registra-.

F. Heintzleman, The increase on the Tongass For- est was due principally to the de- mand for lumber occassioned by the defense program in various parts of the Territory. Twe established mills in Southeast Alaska opened new lumber yards at Anchcrage and Fairbanks to facilitate the market- ing of their output The timber cut from the Tongass Forest was 28,500,000 board feet of cawtimber and 400,000 linear feet of piling—a total of nearly 31,000,000 | {board feet. This does not include | | the timber cut under free use privil- leges by residents, settlers, miners| and cthers. ! The cut on the Chugach Forest | |during 1949 alse showed a satisfac- tory increase in sawtimber, piling {and ties. This amounted to 2,000,000 | board feet. Gerd Year Ahead Heintzleman predicts an even| larger timber cut for 1941. In addi- | tion te increased local use of lumber, |particularly cn defense pro, the Territory, Southeast Alaska mills |expect to ship more airplane spruce lumber to the States, The total cut cn the Tongass For- | lest since 1909 is 1,058,000,000 beard feet at a stumpage value of $1,634,- |1000. The Chugach cut of 118,000,000 board feet thin the same period was valued at $178,800.
