FREDRIC MARCH 1:15 A. M. TONITE “QUEEN OF DESTINY” JOAN CRAWFORD IN "DIFFERENT" ROLE AT CAPITOL "Susan and God'" Has Last Showing on Local Screen Tonight Rachel Crothers’ stage hit, “Susan ar God.” which ran for eight months on Broadway before being taken on the road, emerges as an hit in its screen for The pic co-starring Joan Cr ford and Fredric March, ends to- night at the Capitol Theatre. As the rattlebrained and self- centered Susan who adopts a new gocial movement as a fad and tries to convert all her friends to it, only to see them antagonized and her cwn » develop into a seem- ingly h less tangle, Jean Craw- ford attains a dramatic assurance whic r most devoted fans could even gr are, have scarcely envisioned. Her per- formance gives her a new niche in filmdom. And as the inebriate husband, Barrie, who wins the final victery with himself and Susan, Fredric March makes a brilliant return to the screen which he tem- porarily d ted to star in the stage hit, “The American Way." et B COMMUNICATION Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Editor, Sir: A~ to the Daily Alaska Empire's items, concerning the All ska Labor Convention being held Union Hall, Juneau, the con- went on record as being to the Selective Service and the Lease-Lend Bill It is the prerogative of the convention to vote as it sees fit, but the convention certainly does rot represent the political views of the individual working man, es- pecially among the Alaska-Junean employees.

SRRV HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 4-—Take it from the men whose studio job it is to guard the movies from prduction code viola- tion Joe Breen is getting tougher, rather than relaxing vigilance, on the studios. Sample: The script specified a set representing a hideout cabin for gangster chief Edward Arnold where he kept an “arsenal.” Enthusiastic prop-men stock it well with guns, all visible. Al Bloch, who hawk-eyed Metro's product from within, saw the set-up and removed quantities of guns, ‘making it a grade-B arsenal but acceptable under the code, which doesn't like unneces- sary display of firearms. . . . This is for a picture called “Roosty,” the title deriving from the character name of the gang chief's son, played by Gene Reynolds. But there’s a story in the leading lady, Veda Ann Borg, who plays the gangster's moll. Veda Ann has a contract and was getting frequent assign- ments when, a couple of years ago, she was in an automobile accident and her face was badly disfigured. Two months later, after some plastic surgery, she reported to the studio for tests. “They were very nice,” she hsays, “but they told me frankly I couldn't photograph any more. Financially, they (Warner Bros.) were wonderful to me — paid up my contract just as if it had been renewed for six months. I used the money for more i plastic surgery, and here I am.” She’s a new person with a new face (it will stand close- ups), PERCY’S CAFE STOP AT PERCY'S CAFE Breakfast. Dinner or Light Lunches ® DELICIOUS FOOD © FOUNTAIN SERVICE © REFRESHMENTS a new coiffure — golden blonde instead of red — and, to judge by reports on her work, a new future, 1t would be interesting to report that the change had opened the way for a new type of characterization, but she says it isn’t so. “I never was the school teacher type,” “They're still glving me séxy roles.” she reports. It's a funny story, by the way, that Director Harold S. Buc- quet tells about why he no longer strikes up conversations with strangers on trains. “I love diners,” he says, “and I always feel sociable in them. So the train is passing through some wonderful desert country and T say to a solid businessman opposite me, ‘Wonderful country —if it ony had water.’ “He says, ‘So would hell be — if it only had water,' shuts up. I keep quiet from there on in.” Angela Blue may not know it, but Dance Director Hermes Pan calls her the “best dancer” of all the girls he's worked with., Twice told tale: Chapter 1 — The Marx Bros. are riding high.
