HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) —
Douglas Fairbanks Jr is writ
ing this week’s column of “Holly
wood Star-Lites” while Chuck
Cochard is recuperating from an
illness.
Not long ago I was given the
opportunity to address the Ele
mentary School Principals’ divi
sion of the National Education
Association. I have no idea why
I was invited, but I’m tremend
ously glad I made the trip, and
the address. I met a number of
of America’s leading educators,
and I learned a number of val
uable things.
I particularly was glad to learn
that more and more importance
is being put on speech in our
elementary schools today. For I j
have discovered in my business
of being an actor, and in my trav
els that correct speech is of ut
most importance.
Motion pictures of course are
rapidly destroying accents, bro
gues and burrs and the like. It
wasn’t many years ago that the
New England twang, the South
ern drawl, the Mid-western ac
cent and the far-Western man
ner of speech were almost as dif
ferent as an equal number of |
foreign languages.
Today all sections of the coun
try are speaking more and more
alike. I think this is because .of
motion pictures. I think too that
there isn’t as much difference be
tween British and American styl
es of speaking as there once was.
I noticed this particularly during
the making of “Rulers of the
Sea.”
In the cast were Margaret
Lockwod. an English girl; Will
Fyffe, a Scotch comedian; Geor
ge Bancroft, an American and
myself. And I’ve been accused of
having an English accent. But 1
know plenty of English actors
who have made pictures in Am
erica and on their return to their
homeland have been accused of
getting “American accents.”
Truth of the matter is. that
we’re all speaking more and
I
more alike. 13
Just a.-; the public copies the *
wardrobes and mannerisms of ^
the stars sio too does it copy ^
.heir m le of speech. It is nec- *
essary that the screen stress ev- «
on mere than it does now correct ^
diction.
Almost a 1 studios have coaches §
I 41
who work with young players. i|
teaching them to speak properly I f
and distinctly. j |
But I don’t claim of course, |
that motion picture speech in- j g
variably is perfect. However, the «
combined efforts of the speech J
courses in our schools, with the |
added incentive of the screen, jj
cannot help but to bring about a $
general improvement throughout ^
the English-speaking world. |

FOOD CACHE 7 YEARS OLD 5
STILL IN GOOD CONDITION |
i i—*
Mount McKinley National J
Park—Food left seven years ago J
by the ill-fated Cosmic Ray Ex- $
pedition to Mount McKinley was |
found in good condition by Park |
rangers on patrol in Mount Me- |
Kinley National Park, The sup- S
plies were part of a cache made »
near Muldrow Glacier which *
flows down from Mount McKin-ij
ley. | \
In 1932. the University of Chic- I
ago sent out an expedition to J |
study cosmic rays from Mount ] \
McKinley because of the advan-11
tages of elevation. At the same i
time the last expedition to at- *
tain the crest of Mbunt McKin- j
ley was in the vicinity. When the J
mountain climbers, of whmo Al- j
fred Lindley of Minnesota was J
in charge, were returning they 1
found the frozen body of Theo- f
dore Koven of the Cosmic Ray {
Expedition. As a search for Allen £
Carpe, the other member of the *
scientists, was unsuccessful, it |
was concluded Carpe fell into a !
crevass on Muldrow Glacier and j
was unable to climb out.
In his report District Ranger 11
Humohr states "We found some {
of the supplies left by the expedi j
ion of 1932. We used some of the j |
dehydrated milk and potatoes^
tnd found the sea food very well! «

More Jobs for Alaskans
r»™ " - ---■ ■ ' I—-rr- y——.
IT’S A FACT that the Canned Salmon Industry provides more jobs for
Alaskans during the fishing season than any other industry does. It’s also
a fact that the packers hang out the “Help Wanted” sign at other times
of the year. Each fall and spring, hundreds of men are employed in the
maintenance of canneries and other equipment; furnishing construction
and box shook materials, wire netting, supplies the Industry needs to
operate. That’s why good times for the Salmon Industry mean good times
throughout Alaska.
