HOLLYWOOD
STAR - LITES
—
By Chuck Cochard
HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) -
RKO-Radio will denfinitely re
lease “Citizen Kane’’ — but Or
son Welles will re-make some
scenes that should never have j
been shot in the first place. How
ev r the genius Orson Welles —
as he is sometimes called — de
serves a lot of credit for turning
out such a fine picture the first
time and doing so much of the
work himself.
’Tis said in Hollywood that
Charlie Chaplin is anxiously try
ing to obtain Orson Welles either
as a co-star or as co-producer for
future pictures.
This week the verdict went out
from the Hays Office (official cen
sors of the movie industry) that
there must not be any more of
tight sweater publicity still photo
graphs. . . Ho hum.
i
Woman’s place once quaintly
thought to be in the home, is in
seven out of every ten seats of
youV favorite movie theater. In
other words, 70 percent of the
motion picture audience is fe
male, broth1 r, and that makes
the industry' practically a wo
man's world.
Wallace Beery is the highest
priced star in Hollywood, accord
ing to latest figures —he’s now
making a mere $8,500 a week.
Garbo still tops everyone when
she’s working — she gts paid
only when she is working — but
then it is $12,500 per week. But
Beery wins out in the week-in
week-out basis.

Ice Encased Eskimo
Counted in 1940 Census
Under six feet of io. in a
stream on the northern Arctic
coast of Alaska, the body of John
Seigard, an Eskimo, has lain
since the fall of 1939. but John
was eountpd by the census enu
merator and reemded as a unit
in the official 1940 population of
the Territory.
The nativ was last seen alive
October 1, 1939. Under census
regulations any person living in
Alaska on that date was to be
counted.
Seigard’s body was plainly vis
ible to the enumerator. Neighbor
ing residents, fome miles dis>
tant, explained that th-ir fellow
Eskimo evidently had camped on
the bank of the sluggish stream
and that during the night, while
he was asleep, the water, with its
floating ice, suddenly rose, over
flowing the bank and drowned
him.
Th name of the sepuchral
stream is the Sagavanuktok. It
flows into Anxiety Bay, an inden
tation of the Arctic Ocean.
The Eskimo was counted by j
Jens H. Forshaug, employee xif
the Reindeer Service who served |
as cen-us numerator on the long I
stretch of Arctic coast east of
Point Barrow. He was the last
enumerator to report in the 4th
Division. His vast census region j
was comprised of all the terri- j
to the Arctic Ocean and extend
tory north of the Endicott Range
ing along the north • Arctic coast
from Point H aid, which is east
of Point Barrow, to Demarcation
Point, dividing line between
north Alaska and norjh Canada,!
and including all adjacent islands'
In the thouands and thousands!
of square miles, the enumerator]
counted 155 inhabitants. Of these]
there are four whites, who are
traders; on Laplander and 150
Eskimos.
