It is the star's first venture into light comedy, and a most success- ful venture. Miss Dietrich's light- ness has been hidden for several years under the bushel of heavy dramatic parts, and her emergence is a revelation. The situation involves a complete transformation from billowy, femi- nine clothes to loud rags; from high-style coiffure to bangs and from a low-modulated voice to @ string of raucous wisecracks. Miss Dietrich handles the assignment superbly. The picture is further freshened by the debut of Bruce Cabot as a romantic leading man opposite Miss Dietrich. Roland Young also launches an entirely new role, his first Latin impersonation in a career studded | with great successes in dry British comedy. Spiked mustaches, side- | burns, elegant clothes and all, Young carries on a unique per- Peoduced by JOR PASTERNAK Oirectad by RENE CLAIR with \ Bruce CABOT-Roland YOUNG Mlsdlc AUER* Andy DEVINE Eddie OUILI.AN/ O — ALSO — Sucker List Color Cartoon Latest News PRE\ U E 'l ONIG H r cApnb Mni _ Sunday Monday Tuesday ' 1:15 A.

Guest fo Make Survey of Commercial Flying | ‘To make a study of civil nvlauon‘ in Alaska, Dr. Paulo Sampaio, rep- resentative of civil aviation in Brazil arrived in Juneau yesterday and will remain here for a few days before continung to the In- teror and Northern pats of the Ter- tory. Dr. Sampaio was invitd to the United States by the United States Government through the State De- partment and the Civil Aeronautics Board for the purpose of making a complete study of civil aviation in this country. “My visit to Alaska is prhnnrfly con.cerncd in drawing a compari- | son between the methods utilized {in Brazil for the development of large parts of the country which are still being pioneered and those being used in Alaska. The prob- lems and difficulties encountered in Alaska are very similar to our prob- lems in Brazil although there is no comparison regarding terrain and Dr. Sampaio said. | “I arrived in the United States last October and stayed for ‘four and am now conducting an exten- | sive tour in the field for the pur- pose of surveying all of the car- rier operations, regional offices of | CAA, factories, flying schools and | all activities related to aviation fa- cilities,” he said. Dr. Sampaio is a civil engineer has been actively connected with aviation for the last twelve' years. In addition to the admin-| istration of aviation, he is a puot‘ and has over 3,000 hours to his| credit. Though he has travelled exten- sively in Europe, this is the first trip Dr. Sampaio has ever made to| North America. “Brazilians and people of the United States get along together excellently and have many bonds in common. One of the chief reasons they understand one another so well is that both have a sense of humor,” he said. After leaving Juneau Dr. Sam- paio will spend some time in An- chorage, Fairbanks, Nome, and oth- er outlying parts of the Territory. He may continue to Point Barrow before returning to the States.
