In starring roles are John Lund, Wanda Hendrix, Barry Fitz- gerald, and Monty Woolley, sup- ported by Ilka Chase, Robert Stack, Dorothy Stickney and Elizabeth Patterson. There is also the sur- prise appearance of a comedy stai who chooses to call himself Rich-| ard Rancyd for his role in this picture, but who is more popularly snown as Richard Haydn. “Miss Tatlock’s Millions” is Haydn's first directorial effort, and| word has it that he has brought | to it his own rare sense of comed, timing, making it one of the fun-| niest pictures ever seen. | The story concerns a familys scramble for a fortune that was in-| \dvertently bequeathed to a dim- witted grandson. The latter, be-| lieved by his caretaker (Barry Fitzgerald) to ‘e dead, is imper- sonated by movie stunt man, John | Lund, who complicates matters by | falling n love with his “sister,’ | played by Wanda Hendrix. ] FIGHT DOPE Fights last nigit ended as fol- lows: At New York—George “Sugar” Costner, 147%, Camden, N.J., out- rointed Gene Burton, 146'i, New York, 10.

HERMANN Soroptomists at their regular meeting on the Baranof Terrace Friday heard Mrs. Mildred Her- mann’s report of her attendance ot the American Cancer Society in New York last fall, heard her story | lof the New York Herald Tribune | { forum, of her visits to the United Nations meeting, hearing Eleanor Roosevelt speak and having tea at the home of Mrs. Kermit Roose- velt. Though her previous meetings had been reported, Mrs. Hermann added two incidents of narrow escape from death that she ex- perienced. First, when she failed to take the airplane on which she had reservations from New York to Washington, and the plane crashed with all aboard killed and next when, instead of calling at the Post Office in Washington as she had intended, she called on Dele- | gate Bartlett first, then found that | the Post Office was surrounded by | fire fighting equipment, that there had been an explosion in the room in the Post Office Building in which | she had business. Admiring her will power, her soroptimist sisters, however, were protably more impressed by the fact that she had lost forty pounds before her return to Alaska. That was a major accomplishment that |any dieting woman could appre- | ciate. Gertrude Wetzel, Vice President, presided in the absence of Presi- dent Alice Thorne, and heard re- | ports of club activities during the | past month, Next meeting of the group will be | January 13. i FROM ANCHORAGE | Harold L.
