when" they go to see ‘‘Auntie
Mame7, with Rosalind Russell as
the ctazy, whacy, bug - hearted,
aunt; la role she played in the
stage version on Broadway.
According to one reviewer, this
elaborate, hilarious celluloid ver
sion of “Auntie Mame,” Patrick
Dennis’ widely read, fun • filled
novel, emerges a fast Improve
ment on both book and the Broad
way play. It is said Jto catch and
make- visual all. of the spirit and
atmosphere of the original and
boasts < scope, spectacle, move
ment: .and lavishness that could
only .heretofore be implied.
Should you Ibe interested in the
story it concerns, of course Auntie
Mame ,who takes over the raising
of her -young nephew, which she
does in*a carefree and hilarious
manner, until she is wiped out
financially in the 1929 crash. For
a time she goes to work as a sales
desk in Macy*a
Summarizing, Mamie and neph
ew colaborate on her autobiogra
phy; she interferes in her
nephews marriage plans in her
own carefree manner. But it
wouldn’t be fair to tell you
everything.
Suffice it to say the screenplay
is jet-propelled and mirth-laden,
from all accounts, and that Harry
Stradling’s Techndrama and Tech
nicolor photography is tops. In
cidentally, la Rosalind Russell’s
wardrobe consists of 30 fabulous
outfits in the picture, which also
etars Forrest Tucker slightly.

OUR TRIP
(Continued from page 5)
ing trip. And you will never be
lieve this, SHE CAUGHT A SEA
GULL! The gull flew by just as
Katie cast and got its feet caught
in her line. The seagulls get as
big as a goose up there, and there
was some -battle. The gull final
ly got free and bet he will stay
away from women fishing from
now on., There is a picture of
Katie in* the kids’ kitchen and
that a bo lit covers her stay oh the
island.
I am going to say right hejre
and now, she was a real good
sport all through the trip-aw) she
does get odd easy and can’t be
blamed for bugging the stove.
There is a boat that makes a
trip around the island once a
month, d-elitering the mail and,
supplies to the fishing; vill4gje$.,
She has room for a few passengers,,
and I went along. Katie ■ get*
seasick and didn^t go. These are
supposed to 'be very rough waters.
The entire boat trip was a big
success and,we had very reason
able weather. We -got to go
shore at most of the Aleutian^
villages and meet the pedflt.''
Very dean and friendly and' befcf4
respecting... and independent as*
they seem to have a right to be.' *
Make their hiving fishing far sal-,
xnon and king crab Some of- the*
cralb look like they would mei
sune three feet from tip to tip.
A couple of the boys took us
fishing a little ways up a river
and we really hit into the silver
salmon and Dolly Varden.t*ou|t
Pish fry that evening! The *boal
accomodations were very casual,
as they «re throughout Alaska.
Had a very EASY good time, for
three and one half days. There
is one thing sure in that country
—-if you need help, YOU’LL GET
IT.
After we got back to the town
of Kodiak, I stopped in a store
to get a treat for the wife and
kids. Spied some large and beau
tiful bananas (not home grown).
Picked out ten, walked over to
the man with them, and said, “I'll
take these.” “Will you? he said.
Weighed them. “$3.90” Oh well.
We didn’t get to the banana belt
every day.
We stayed with the kids about
three weeks, and am going to say
they were the most enjoy
ed weeks of my life
Some tips on making a trip of
this kind. Don’t take small chil
dren. Don’t rush. Take your
time and see the country. DO
have warm clothing, pi us some
canned goods and a coffee pot and
a few cans of canned heat, and
a blanket or two wouldn’t hurt.
Just in case your car breaks down
and you don’t get help right away.
Do have insect repellant along.
Two spare tires won’t hurt. And
don't forget the spare gas can.
The mountain driving eats your
gas faster than you think. Enjoy
yourselves — we sure did in
-spite of the joking.
