An island in the middle of the chain, Adak, only two hours flying time from the Jap-held Kiska, was selected ‘as the spot for a huge air field to be built by the Army, the first step in the miarch to victory i the North Pacific. Ten short days after our troops landed the field was set and our fliers could start their relentless bombing of the Jap base. ¥ Presented by the United States Government, the film is released through the OWI. It was produced for the War Department by the Army Signal Corps and is distri- buted by the War Activities Com- mittee of the Motion Picture In- dustry. | Glorifying the movies’ biggest |booster, the ’teen-age film fan, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has produc- ed “The Youngest Profession,” story of the adventures of high | school autograph seekers, is second | feature on the double bill. ‘Townsend Club Holds gin to trounce the Japs—"Report | ADDITIONAL VICTORY GARDEN DATA GIVEN | | Friday April 7, a report was | printed on a meeting of the Master | |Victory Garden Committee for |Gastineau Channel, outlining the |various assignments to the respec- |tive organizations as suggested by| I'W.

She plays the part of a neurotic daughter of a strict New England mother, whose only escape from her sordid world is a frustrated love affair. In the male lead is suave, handsome Paul Henreid. Charlotte Vale, (Miss Davis' role) is interviewed by a psychiatrist, Dr. Jaquith (Claude Rains) who was brought there by her sister-in-law Lisa (Ilka Chase). After a period of trial readjust- ment at Dr. Jaquith's rest home, he advises Charlotte to take a trip before returning home. This she does, and during the voyage, meets and falls in love with Jerry (Paul Henreid) an unhappily married man whose love for his child keeps him attached to his invalid wife. Despite the fact that her love affair can never really reach its ultimate, Charlotte’s relationship with Jerry enables her to return home a com- pletely changed woman both in ap- pearance and mentally. e (Olaf Swansons Are Parents of Boy Baby Olaf Swanson is proudly showing |friends a telegram received from Mrs. Swanson in Seattle, telling of the birth of a son, Easter Sunday. ‘The young man tipped the scales at |seven pounds, twelve ounces.
