The story traces the careers of the songwriters from | their first meeting in a Coney Island | beer garden, where Harry Ruby (Skelton) bungles up Bert Kalmar's | (Astaire) magician act, and con- | tinues with their happy efforts as collaborators despite such diver- sions as Ruby’s passion for baseball | and Kalmar’s propensity for “leger- demain. With their rise to phenom- | enal success as writers of popular | songs, Broadway and London stage, hits and Hollywood musicals, is the story of their respective romances.

Air Force and the | weatherman, fine progress is re-| ported in Juneau: Ice -Cap studies and related ones of the Juneau Ice- | field Research Project (JIRP).! Primary sponsors are<the American Geographical Society of New York and the Office of Naval Research. "'Conversations with Field Director | Maynard Miller, who is on the Ice Cap, and returning members of {small expeditions show that work is being carried out according to plan. Scientists working on a special project at Glacier Bay returned this week-end on their chartered, vessel, the Gallivanter, and hoped to be flown to the Ice Cap today. The ski-equipped 'twin-engine aircraft from Elmendorf Base was grounded at the Juneau Airport yesterday for repairs, but is expected to make a glacier landing today. Aboard will be W. O. Field, head : of the Geographical Society’s De- partment of Exploration and Field Research; Dr. Donald B. Lawrence, University of Minnesota botanist and glacier expert; Meterologist Frederick A. Milan and Geophysicist Charles R. (Bucky) Wilson. As women are not included in plans for Ice Cap camping, Mrs. Lawrence and Mr. Field’s daughter, ! Diana, will remain in Juneau. They, with Geologist Paul V. Liv- ingston, were the other members of the Glacier Bay expedition. The ski-equipped C-47 made a glacier landing Sunday, taking JIRP equipment as well as per- sonnel. Among the “inbound passengers” were. Dr, Louis O. Quam, here to inspect the operations for the of- fice of Naval Research, and Dr. Robert L. Nichols, “Ph. D.” geol- ogist from Tufts College at Med- ford, Mass., a new arrival. One of the early-summer ar- rivals, Richard C. Merritt of Seattle and Yale University, came out on the ski-plane Sunday, and was booked southbound yesterday via Pan American, Among others who have completed their work for 1950 is Dr. Henri Bader, Swiss-born geol ogist, who was Seattle-bound Sunday on Pan Am. ! S s T WANT ADS BRING RESULTS | survey program of the Alaska Aeronautics} Commission; George £. Schwamm said today. Schwamm, director of the com- mission, arrived in Juneau this weekend following a three-week trip through the Second Division to make selections of fu- ture sites and to confer with resi- dents on prospective needs. First field to get underway will be at White Mountain, Schwamm said. A large Alaska Resident Ser- vice-school is being built there, nlld' need for a large field is already being felt. Next projects will be a field at!

He said men there told him they werked 50 hours continuously to dig a firebreak with their bull- dozers to stop the flames. The Dillingham field has been slowed down by muskeg being reached, and more equipment had to be asked for from Seattle, Kotzebue was brought to a stop by the fire aboard the Coastal Monarch, which was ‘carrying sup- plies north when she caught fire.

Some 25 airfields on the Seward Peninsula are to be extended and minor repairs made to them—such as clearing brush, he said. Most of them have had no maintenance work for years. In Southeast Alaska, floats being built by the commission for Port Althorp, Sitka, Baranof and Hood Bay are nearly completed, and will be towed to their locations within the next week, he said. They are under construction in Tenakee by the®Paddock Brothers. The Ketchikan float is completed, but is awaiting anchors ‘before it can be moored. The Tongass Har- bor float is 80 per cent complete, he said. Petersburg Dredging Schwamm will attempt to take advantage - of the presence of dredges now working in Wrangell Narrows to get the Petersburg har- bor dredged so hangars may be moved closer to shore, The director obtained clearance from the Civil Aeronautics Admin- istration to negotiate with ‘the towns of Hydaburg and Craig, both incorporated villages so they could build their own floats.

The picture on view tonight at the Gross 20th Century Theatre, is one of the son's distinguished productions experience lovers of music and drama alike. It is easy to believe that Miss Hepburn demanded the role of Clara Schumann, the gifted concert pian- ist who married her father’s bril- liant but impoverished composer- pupil and devoted her life to the world’s recognition of his genius, for she gives it all she's got. In her new role, Miss Hepburn probes deep under the surface of her character and gives a thoughtful, profound and highly sensitive performance which will add immeasurably to her stature as one of Hollywood's top actresses. The two men in her life, her husband and Johannes Brahms, whose love she rejects in order to perpetuate her husband’s fame after his death, are faultlessly played by Paul Henried, as the tormented Schumann whose unrecognized gen- ius drives him to insanity, and by Robert Walker, the the devoted Brahms who takes over the manage- ment of his friend’s household and family, and who tries to ease Clara’s burden. o BPWC MEMBERS SEE DUDLEY SLIDES OF ENGLAND TRIP Colored slides of a trip to England with David Dudley as narrator, en- tertained members and guests of the Business and Professional Wo- men's Club at luncheon Monday in the Baranof Terrace room.
