"A" Kerrigan Still Leaving Ilv Virginia Vain - r f-e IF YOU ckm't believe that "Motion pictures are your best entertainment," but that only really good pictures can come under that heading, you'll be interested (I think) in knowing which ones an ex pert has selected as the best of the new crop. The expert is W. G. Van Schmus, managing director of the Radio City Music Hal in New York. Mr. Van Schmus f on spot, always. Visitors to New York, as well as na tives, troop to his theater. He can't let them go away saying that the .show was good but why in the world did he select that picture to- go with it! Ushering in the' new year with "Topper Takes a- Tripi" co-starring Constance Bennett an Roland Young, he picked "There's That Woman Again," (Melvyn Douglas and Virginia Bruce);, to' follow it. Then "Trade Winds," (Frederic March and Joan Bennett); "The Great Man Votes," (John- Barry more, Virginia Weidler),, "Gunga Din," (Cary Grant, Victor McLag len, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.); "Made for Each Other," (co-starring-Carole Lombard and James Stewart),. "Love Affair," (with Irene Dunne and Charts Boyer), and' "Stage Coach" (with Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Andy Devine, John' Carra dine, and Louise Piatt). Each film is scheduled1 for week's run. The theater accommo dates an audience of more than 6,000' persons; the picture is shown five times a day. It has to be ' good, you see! Franchot Tone bobs up all ' over New York these days; leaving Hol lywood certainly didn't mean leav Ing the limelight. He is appearing' on the stage in a new play, doing a FRANCHOT TONE bit of radio work, and i recently shared honors with Abe Lyman and Dick Koran as a celebrity al the first of the International Casino's. "Sunday Night Informals," dedicat ed to celebrities. When J. M. Kerrigan" arrived ' In . Bollywood' eight years, ago he said that he'd stay long enough to play the film role he'd been -engaged for -and then he'd go back. to Ireland.. He was tnen one of the Abbey, play ers. He's still 1b Hollywood, (a role in "Toe Great Alan .votes" was, the most recent bait), and still thinks that, as soea as he can gpt away, hell go back to. Ireland. Edward Small is in. favor of-giv ing new people a chance in his pic tures. It was he who brought Robert Donat to this country to appear in "The Count of Monte-Cristo," and recently he made Louts Hayward a star in "The Duke ofcWest Point" In his current production,, "King ot the Turf," starring Adolphe Slen jou, it's 15-year-olci' Roger IQaniel who gets the big break. With radio and stage tempting movie stars to. lose interest im motion picture making, it's a wise producer wh can spot talents and cultivate it and put it under contract? By the way, in "The Duke ot West Point" you'll see some old-timers-Mary MacLfjen, William Bakeell and Kennel. Harlan. All ot Use music that Frank R. White, organist oa Dr. William L.

(. Western Netrspaper Unlotu - T i v Pioneering By C. J. LINCKE In pointing out that independ ent colonization projects, like those carried on by the Mormon church in Utah, and that now de veloping at Homer, a fine agricul tural section bordering on Cook Inlet, should prove a success, I have in mind the grotesque other departure of a sort of bungling communism. There is no such thing as free land in Alaska, unless it is in the perpetually frozen zone along the Tanna river, 400 miles distant from tidewater. Even this is al lowed with eventualities. That is the great placer country. Under the homesteading laws, as yet unchanged, one must de clare that, to his best knowledge and belief, the land does not con tain mineral. Mineral, including gold lode and placer has the first right on all public lands. Hence one might dig a well,, or thaw it to1 bedrock,, to discover that it contained placer gold. His well is likely to penetrate the an cient palaeolithic mucks; and grav els, containing the remains of a mammoth or cave bear, still con taining the hair and fragments of hide, not to mention the refriger ated putrescence of decayed flesh. Even Fairbanks must sewire its water from sources immediately, above the pleistocene, or glacial scours,, geologically classiutn. as the quarter-nary, or "recent".

This will cost approximately as much as a 160-acre farno in the matrgimil betts of ' the United Statbsi. Opposition by the: Buxvau, of forests to, land settlement has of ten cropped out, resulting in turn- iagunuriy prospective strtitlers back after fearninjr that w.Ke.tt they were up against in the form of bureau-cratin- regulations andi a sort of satrappry exercised by those em ployed by the Bureaus.

It is difficult to plac its origin; to say it is the result f bureau cratic Jealousy on tlist part of the bureau heads, or a fixed policy in Washington, in line with that es tablished by Theodore Roosevelt in 1906-10, when he withdrew all mineral resources, exmpting pre- cious metals, frm pre-emption and use, or has a more sinister nuance. The leasing system, introduced as a result of the outcry which accompanied this action, in effect has been to deter capital from en tering Alaska. Capital has stood firm upon the fact that a leasehold is not a sound basis for risking large ex penditure. It was not thought, at the time of the Rooseveltan order, that conservation would lend to the government going into the real estate business, and trying out the experiment of leasing privileges on the untamed frontier. How bureaucracy has served to retard progress in Alaska may be seen in the farcical situation affecting road building. in Alask Thv7 just unraveled a puzzle' All that is left for the final cli ...wi, hon thP means of turn-. the putting into effect of umber of settlers back to the States this winter, and who were enroute to the lower Kenai Valley in search of homesteads, Among them were agents of Swiss cheese makers, seeking a region comparable with Switzerland to place cattle and begin industry During September a sudden flood carried away a section of automobile road, built along a righ glacial bluff. It also took out the ramps of the bridges of a stream flowing into the Kenai riv er. After heimr marooned for a month, awaiting the action of the Bureau of Public Roads in provid ing some emergency method for negotiating the 45 degree angle bluff, and crossing the stream in question, and receiving no relief, settlers placed poles across and "cooned" them to the other side, crawled along the bluff to where the roadway remained intact. Several trips were made by the Regional Forester, from Juneau, toe district engineer from Sea ward 75 miles away the fore man of the district project, and the district forest supervisor, aiw a survey party, which made thiee examinations.. When asked why, at least, a ool Brail an tem'povary crossing was not provided,, raecessitating the labor of two men lor a ;ew days, the district engineer replied hat there waw noi provisions of :.uds for such an emergency; they were not decided whether to re build; the' old; road1 or a. detour of a mila. and csbbs- abtmv,, that the matter had been, repactei to the Juneau, office,, which,, ha was; in formed, would take it to vasm,i., ton, and await action.

The region in question, in 1933 produced about $8,000,000 in placer gold and contains some thing like $600,000,0000 in the area thus far tested with drill. The entire stagnation of Alas ka is due to this experiment in economy. While three Pacific Coast states have developed in ex cess of $40,000,000,000 in tangi ble assets, Alaska, into which you fould drop them and be compeliwd j to pan a week to find thorn has i gone static. Secretarv Ickes recommendation tha minerals be withdrawn, and the privilege of prospecting and finding; place or lode gold be un der lease, instead as the magnet for drawing men further afield. When that happens, the last glow of the encarnadian rainbow which has tinted the frontier, and givtm'biittli tw romance and adven ture wilt have' vanished.
