Dorcas Brower of
Barrow Signed for
Eskimo Movie Role
By JAMES BACON
Associated Press Movie-TV Writer
HOLLYWOOD, UP> — Warner
Brothers today signed a 19-year
old Eskimo actress whose home
is the last stopping off place
before the North Pole.
Proof that the movies will find
you if you’re pretty enough is
Dorcas Brower of Barrow, north
ernmost city in Alaska, U. S. A.
The studio signed her to play,
naturally enough, Robert Ryan’s
young Eskimo wife in “Ice Pal
ace.” Her visit to Hollywood is
the first outside of her native
habitat.
She left Barrow in a 50-degree- r
below blizzard for the flight to
sunny and warm California.
What’s more, she thinks that Es
j kimo weather is for the polar
I bears. She likes the sunshine.
A Warners talent scout spotted
her acting in college plays in
Sitka. A black-haired cutie with
a radiant smile, Dorcas is like
any other American teen-ager.
She wants to meet Rock Hudson
and Kim Novak.
“And I have never seen an
igloo,” she told a reporter.
She> also destroys another
stateside conception about Es
kimos.
“I suppose it would be fun
rubbing noses with a boy friend
but neither I, nor any of my
girl friends, have ever tried it.
We kiss like anyone else.”
Her favorite sport is water
skiing — but with a difference,
the water is solid ice — and a
snowmobile — or jeep — instead
of speedboat is used.
Barrow, she says, • is not much
different from any other small
American town of 1,500 people.
There are two movie houses but
no television. She likes dancing,
parties and all the other amuse
ments that other teen-agers like.
There are lots of sleigh rides,
but with little, if any, spooning.
“We must cover our mouths,”
she said. “Else we would freeze
our lungs — and get tuberculosis.”
Dorcas comes from one of the
frozen north’s most distinguished
families. Her Dutch father is Bar
row’s richest citizen. He owns a
big reindeer ranch, two trading
posts and the town’s main res
taurant.
Her mother and most of her an
cestors are Eskimos.
“I am more than 50 per cent
Eskimo, she said proudly. Her
grandfather was Charles Dewitt
Brower, author of “50 Years Be
low Zero,” generally rated a
Polar classic.
Will Rogers and Wiley Post
were on a visit to Dorcas’ grand
father when a plane crash took
their lives in 1935. The grand
father helped bring out the bodies
of the famed cowboy humorist
and the round-the-world flight
pioneer.
• Mementos of the tragic plane
still hang in Brower’s Cafe in
Barrow.
