ALASKA MENTAL HEALTH BILL
Two women’s clubs of the community, the Home
Arts Club and the Women’s Society of the Methodist
Church, have voluntarily assumed the responsibility
of letting Congressmen know the need of the passage
of the Mental Health Bill.
The women of these organizations are to be praised
for their individual effort in writing to Congressmen
in the states from which they come, urging their sup
port of this bill.
One of the greatest advantages of the passage of
this bill would be the provision for a place for persons
mentally ill—persons now treated like criminals before
a jury instead of being treated as sick people by compe
tent specialists.
The Mental Health Bill not only provides for
proper care of the mentally ill during treatment, but
follows up their health and provides for a proper com
ing home of the patient when cured.
The women of these organizations realize that the
present system has not been changed for 80 years and
that it is time to modernize.
Anyone in the community who wishes to contrib
ute a letter to their Congressman or to Delegate Bart
lett for him to pass on to the Congressional committee
w urged to follow the plan of these women’s groups.

“Return of Frank
James” To Play
At Theater Sunday
With Henry Fonda playing the
role of the famous outlaw, Frank
James, Twentieth Century-Fox’s
Technicolor encore triumph “The
Return of Frank James” is coming
Sunday to the Theater.
This is the adventure filled story
of Frank James’ revenge for his
brother’s murder at the hands of
Bob Ford.
Co-starred with Fonda is lovely
Gene Tierny with Jackie Cooper
and Henry Hull featured. John
Carradine, J. Edward Bromberg,
David Meek, Eddie Collins and
George Barbier head the large
supporting cast.
Director Fritz Lang shot many
of the outdoor scenes amidst the
scenic splendor of the High Sier
ras and around Sonora, Calif. For
the scenes involving the holdups,
Twentieth Century-Fox hired an
entire railroad and made over the
equipment to correspond with the
trains of the Frank James era.
Tyrone Power plays one of the
strangest roles in screen history
in “The Return of Frank James.”
In fact, his name does not even
appear on the cast and credits
with those of stars Henry Fonda
and Gene Tierney.
For in this movie there are only
60 feet of film on which Power
appears—the briefest moment. It
is at the beginning where the
thread of “Jesse James” is picked
up. Power’s back is to the audi
ence. They see him shot, fall, and
from there the sequel to the fa
mous “Jesse James” goes on as
Henry Fonda as “Frank James”
takes revenge for his brother’s
murder.
