BOB HOPE, GANG LEAVE FOR SOUTH Tired Comedians Happy After Strenuous Program Gomptetely exhausted, but happy and satisfied with their trip to he Western Aleutians, to enter- :ain Army and Navy men, Bob Hope, world famous comiedian, and his gang arrived in Juneau south- bound last night and left this morning for the south During their two trips through Alaska, Hope and his troupe cov- ¢red nearly ten trousand miles by air in eighteen days and put on fifty shows for service men in the lonely outposts of Canada, Nome, the Kuskokwim and far West Alvu-; tians as well as the more urban | camps, including Juneau. { On September 21 the party made | a rush trip to Fort Lewis, Wash- ington to fulfill Hope's radio con- tract with NBC and the following | day made a dramatic reappearance | in Juneau to continue their en- tertalnment program in as many | stations as possible. f On the second trip, to cover camps missed during their first| arduous eight-day travel by plane, | Hope and his gang went Iurtheri west than Dutch Harbor, but were | unable to get into the latter place because of the weather. Kodlak | was also missed because of an ap-| pendieitis attack suffered by Miss Langford, feminine star of the! troupe and the only woman en‘er- tainer to attempt the hard urip through Alaska. H Regret Camps Missed | Regretting only that they ore| unable to make Sitka or Annette | Island and missed Kodiak and| Dutch Harbor, Hope and his crowd | left for the South imbued with the | dire need for recreational equip- ment in many of the northern | camps, and a determination to do | what they ean to obtain it. Shows were put on in tents, on| landing fields and in rough hewn | halls and thousands of sevice men responded with hearty laughter| and thunderous applause for the music, gags, wisecracks and skils with which Hope, Miss Langford, pop-eyed Colonna and Tony Ro- mano, guitarist were so gencrous. The party was accompanicd onf the entire trip by Capt. Donn B.| Adler, formerly with Capt. A. E. Lathrop in Fairbanks, and were| flown by Lieut. M. J. Setzer ana Lieut. R. W. Gates, of Elmendorf Field. ———————— DR.P.5.SMITH, | HEAD OF ALASKA USUGS ARRIVES Dr. Phillip Sidney Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist for the Alaska Braneh, United States Geological Survey, arrived in Juneau from his Washington, D.
