Jane's most pressing need at the moment, it strikes me,! is a best friend to tell her to re-| strain the mugging that still crops/ out in her performances. I'll tell, her, for that matter, but it's strong direction, that must turn the trick. In the interior of a London sub- way for “Man Hunt” John Carra- dine was ‘“killed” in a fight with Walter Pidgeon, who hurled the| villain down to the deadly third rail. After several déhearsals, Di- rector Fritz Lang scene shot. As Carradine struck the fatal| rail there was a blinding flash—| courtesy of the special effects de- partment—and he was “electro- cuted.” “Well,” said Lang, “that fin-; ishes you in the picture, John.” Carradine rose, dusting himself| off, and made a deep bow: “And what a fitting way to be| washed up,” he observed, “with| |an odor of fried ham” e .—— ‘ERNEBT DANIELS IS SLOWLY IMPROVING | “Not for Ch | Ernest Daniels, Alaska Juneau Mine employee who was injured | last week when 4 stick of dynamite | exploded in his hand, is reported | to be improving slowly.

Its contention that big business would run move smoothly if its machinery were oiled with a bit of human kindness is proved without the shadow of » deubt. The story, in brief, takes lwo young people who marry and at- tempt to set up housekeeping in the midst of a gzeat city. The vari- | ous blows dealt them by fate are blows being countered by hundreds of other youngsters the country over. How they manage to emerge victorious over seemingly unsur- a solid hour of intense drama Turning in the surprise perform- ance of the piece .is red-headed Lana Turner as the young wife. Miss Turner, assoeiated previously with collegiate and dancing-daugh- ter roles, gives an excellent account | of herself in a straight dramatic characterization. Her interpretation | is sympathetic and sincere and| opens the way for her to continue in more and more important screen assignments. John Shelton, remembered as the juvenile lead in “The Ghost Comes Home,” is excellent as the young husband and is a decided bet for future leading roles. Others in a uniformly fine cast are Gene Lock- hart, Grant Mitchell and Henry Armetta { e, — 'NEW OFFICERS FOR WOMAN'S CLUBARE INSTALLED TUESDAY Guest Speaker at Af- fair in Gold Room Fifty-three members and guests of the Juneau Woman's Club as- Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel to participate in the annual instal- | lation ceremony.
