PHONEY JEWELS SOMETIMES ARE
MISTAKEN FOR THE REAL
SAYS WRITER
By George Tucker
NEW YORK, Dec. 17, —In the
theatre the other night sat an
actress who used to be one of
New York’s best, but who gave
up Broadway to become a succ
essful glamor girl of the films.
Clutched tightly to her was a
package of some sort and she
held it so carefully that I asked
her what in the world it was.
“You look nervous”, I said,
“That must be very valuable.”
‘I don’t know”, she said. “This
could be a small fortune or it
could be nothing.’ ’
Then she explained: “I keep
my jewels and their imitations
in identical boxes. This after
noon I thought I was taking the
imitations down to a friend who
wanted to borrow them, but sud

denly I had a premonition that
these were the real onts, and now
I can’t tell until I have my jew
eler look at them. He’s going to
let me know after the theatre.
“But couldn’t you tell by com
paring them with the other set
at home?’’
“No I couldn’t. As a matter of
fact, it was my friend who first
thought I had made the mistake.
I wanted her to wear the jewels
anyway, but she refused. It was
too late to go by my jewelers
then, but I telephoned him and
made arrangements to see him
after the theatre.”
Next day I hurriedly scanned
the headlines to see if some
snatch thkf had relieved the
pretty girl of her jewels. But
evidently she got them safely
home. Can you imagine taking a
fortune to the theatre and not
knowing whether it’s a phoney
ar real?
At the auto show I ran into fur
ther activities of the camera
Sends. They were mostly tour
ists, armed with diminutive mo
iion picture cameras, who lurk
ed into the aisles waiting to take
aictures of the celebrities who
sauntered past the cars.
One young man said enthusiast
callv: “This is great. When I get
home I'm going to give a motion
picture show, charging admis
sion, and I’ll make enough to
spend Xmas in Havana.”
Among the “names” he had
caught were Helena Rubinstein,
Police Commissioner Lewis Val
entine, Gertrude Lawrence, Geor
ge M. Cohan, Jack Dempsey, Guy
Lombardo, Paul Draper Oscar of
the Waldorf, Sylvia Sidney and
Henry Fonda.
Another favorite diversion of
the camera-minded ones was to
pose in the ritzier machines, eith

Noel Wien Brings Down 11 Nome
Passengers Without Mishap,
But Can’t Take Off.
Landing with wheels in 18 inch
es of snow at Merrill Field, An
chorage, Pilot Noel Wien broughl
in H residents of Nome recently
in his tri-motored Ford plane tc
connect with the steamer Yukor
for Seattle, says the Anchorage
Daily Times.
Pilot Wien the following day
made arrangements for having a
portion of the field cleared so he
could leave for Fairbanks.
The big ship wallowed in the
snow when landing. Pilot Wien
said he would not have come on
wheels had he known there was
18 inches of snow covering the
airport. Departure of the plane
was impossible in the deep snow.
Passengers from Nome boarded
the train to connect with the
steamer at Seward the next day.
They had planned originally to
fly to Cordova. The passengers
were: Martin Quarnstrom, Hers
chel King, I. J. Jensen, John
Jacobsen, Louis Jacobson, Carl
Heitz, H. I. Green, Steffen Ander
sen, J. H. Cornwell and J. S. Sim
onson.
The Star Air Lines caterpillar
was engaged in clearing a portion
of the field, with the co-operation
of the city to aid Wien in his de
parture.
INDEPENDENCE MINE AT
WILLOW CREEK EXPANDS
Production of gold from the
Independence mine in the Willow
Creek district, will be doubled
and possibly tripled with the op
eration of a new 35 to 50 ton mill
soon to start operations on the
property, states a recent issue of
the Anchorage Times. The new
mill is part of the $100,000 build
ing and development program
carried ou-t by the owners during
the 1937 season.
A crew of 40 to 45 men are to
be kept at the mine during the
winter. With the equipment in
stalled this year the operators
are expecting an increase in the
already satisfactory production
record established during the past
months.
A modern camp has be.n built
on the property, with comfortable
quarters for the men as well as
for the heads of the departments.
A large quantity of winter sup
plies has been laid in with the
prospects of a full year's work.
The Independence mine is own
ed by the Pfucific Alaska Mines.
