Three of the books were present- ed to the library by Frederick Ma- chetanz, artist and author of chil- dren’s books on the Arctic. Mache- tanz recently passed through Ju- neau on his way to Point Barrow, where he is gathering information relative to a children’s history of Alaska he plans to write and illus- trate. The fourth book is “Primative Art,” by Franz Boas, father of American anthropology and former professor at Columbia University. It was Boas who first did early research on art among the west coast Indians and studied Thlinget and Haida art around 1900. Boas is now retired and living in Nor- way, where the book was pub- lished. 1941 GLAMOURGIRL e By a vote of 120 debs in New York, blonde Betty Cordon (above) of . Raleigh, N.

Miss |Temple has arrived. She is work- ing for Leo the Lion. Leo has great hopes for a little fellow who led the box-office parade for four consecutive years, earned millions for 20th Century-Fox and tucked a couple away for hefself and Uncle Sam. | Miss Temple, of course, is mak- ing a comeback. About 15 months ago, she retired to the calm of home and private school life, at- tending an exclusive school for girls where, next semester, she will enter the ninth grade. } There was a general impression abroad that the young lady was !“washed up” in pictures, due to the fact that in a stellar rating she had slipped from first to fifth. The Temples quietly did their own ' slipping out of the movie scene.| The offers came, and Metro's was the first acceptéd. She will make| two movies a year, one in vacaiion | (one during school, at about $6,000 per, | | | A first look at Shirley after 15 months is startling. She’s on the| verge of what is usually called “rad- | iant young womanhood.” Not ex- |actly streamlined, but most of the childness plumpness is gone. Her | once curly goldén hair is now, brown. I remember, when it began' to turn several years ago as Mrs ' | Day, Where the Better BIG Pictures Play LU LENIURT Tonight — Friday — Saturday A DO SuTING AMECHE BETTY GRABLE EN MIRANDA ond CHARLOTTE GREENWOOD J.

Shirley is in it, now, of course, but she can't seem to be awkward about it. As we were talking, a delezation of vis- itors, including two priests, arrived. Miss Temple excused herself to greet them, and for the next five minutes, alone and unprompted, she held pleasant court, as poised as a duchess, as unaffected as a baby. It was like old times when Shir- ley went back into her scene: Mrs, Temple sitting on a stool watching, and Shirley's stand-in and friend of old, Mary Lou Islieb back at work. “I don’'t need to watch her eny more,” said Mrs, Temple, “but I'm just interested.” Through force of habit, perhaps, Mrs. Temple would make a sug- gestion here or there, aside to Shirley. But that was all. The Temples were delighted with “Kathleen,” with Director Harold Bucquet and with the cast—Laraine Herbert Marshall among | others. Sald Mrs. Temple: “Shirley won’t have to carry the whole bur- den this way—and she shouldn’t have to.” Little Miss Temple, Metro’s dis- covery, went trouping through an- other scene. I too think Metro “has something there.” e BUY DEFENSE STAMPS — e Empire Classifieas Pay! Delivery Service Out the Highway Every Day! 'BAULING OF ALL KINDS!
