what faulty — impression on a
Kansan who has written from
Wichita to Mayor Harry Lucas of
Juneau, as follows:
i “I hope you will pardon this
| intrusion from a stranger from
Kansas.
“We are planning a vacation
trip by auto into the heart of
Alaska; so we are inquiring for
some information which might
help us to make the trip success
fully.
“How will we find the high
ways from Hazelton, B. C.. north
ward to the Klondike region and
McKinley Park?
“What is the price of gasoline
in this region and will we find
sufficient service stations to keep
us from carrying a reserve quan
tity of gasoline?
“What will be the price of
; food? Amount of clothing needed
; and will we need a passport to
S enter British Columbia or Alas
! ka on the main highway out of
1 Seattle?
"Enclosed you will find a self
j addressed envelope with stamp,
l Will you kindly give me as much
I of the above wanted information
as you possibly can, and I will
I be greatly obliged."

the movies are concerned. A s’atj
ician figured this week in t. > film1
city that more than a million dolj
lars a year is spent by Holly-!
wood just tu be beautiful.
It's no secret along Hollywood
Boul.vard that Luise Rainer is
seriously contemplating her re
turn to Hollywood to make a
movie. If you remember w pre
dicted her return some months
ago. It may be nice to act on the
stage before an audience but it
doesn’t pay the dividends.
Myrna Loy and William P w
ell recently started.the filming of
their latest co-starring film in the
"Thin Man Series” entitled ”1
Love You Again.”
Wallace Beery has finally brok
en that old Hollywood jinx and ]
turned in one of the finest per-!
farmances of the season and his
best in a long time with "20
Mule Team" —he's been a top- j
notch star on the MGM lot for 12
vears which is some kind of aj
record.
If you're interested Douglas'
Fairbanks Jr won hi- first screen
role when he was 14 by claiming j
that he was 18, thus embarrasing
his late father, who was accused'
of misrepresenting his age.
