OOMHDY, “CHARLEY’S AUNT"
PLAYS DREAM, TUESDAY
1 —
. “Charley’s Aunt,” a hilarious
comedy of student life at pictur
esque Oxford University, is the
latest vehicle of that famous play
er, Charlie Ruggles, beloved of
millions of fans. * This Columbia
■picture, produced by Christie, com
edy specialist, is scheduled to
come to the Dream Theatre for a
one day run 'beginning Tuesday.
Charles Ruggles was a happy
choice for the starring role.
There isn't another comedian on
the screen today who possesses
that combination of slapstick and
sophisticated humor necessary for
the successful interpretation of
the “dowager aunt from Bra
zil.” This is the biggest role
that-he has had to date, although
his previous ones were all success
ful. They were roles that estab
lished Ruggles in a ^unique pos
ition on the screeefiPin spite of
the fact that they were always
secondary parts Often he suc
ceeded -in stealing the picture
from the star. In "Charley’s
Aunt” he plays the title role and
the wish of many a fan will thus
'be satisfied,—to see Charlie Rug
gles in a picture that is "really
his.” June Collyer, Halllwell
Hab/bes, Flora Le Breton, Flora
Sheffield, Rodney McLennon,
Hugh Williams and Doris Lloyd
play supporting roles. A1 Chris
tie directed.

BALDWIN PENINSULA
The naming of a peninsula far
u>p in the northwest of Alaska and
east of Bering Strait in honor of
the late Leonard D. Baldwin be
cause he had been so prominent
in aiding the Government to estab
lish a reindeer Industry has been
announced by the Ceographic
Board. The contributions of Mr.
Baldwin and his brother Arthur
amounted to 12,000,000. Their In
terest in Alaska was humanitarian
ar-the conservation of the Eskimo
population. It was threatened
with decline and even extinction.
Not only has the raising of rein
deer from small herds been the
means of feeding and clothing the
natives, but it has lifted them in
a very short time to independance
and to a scale of civilization un
foreseen by -their American frei
reds. To quote Hajnilton, chief
of the Alaskan Education Bureau:
It was the earliest and perhaps
only government action providing,
by the introduction of a now in- j
dusry, practical vocational train
ing adapted to community needs,
and resulting in training a primi
tive race into independance and re
sponsible citizinship.
Reindeer fairs are now held
every year. The Eskimo from
their earning purchase American
clothing, -build frame houses with
imported lumber, pay attention to
I sanitation, and draw cnecks on
their bank accounts. The num*
ber of reindeer in Alaska today
exceeds a million. Canada has ob
tained animals from the vast Alas
kan herd to keep its awn Eskimos
alive and start them on the same
road to self-support. The sale of
reindeer meat is a business that
has spread to the United States.
It often sells on the Pacific Coast
for less than the price of -beef.
A single flfm marketing in two
years, 32.000 reindeer carcasse in
the United States. Herds doable
in a few years, and the supply is
considered “virtually inexhausti
ble.” The original herds imported
numbered 1,280, and H is said
that the investment of the Govern
ment has increased 2,000 per cert
in thirty years. Private dealers
have also profited hansomely.
When the aid given by the Bald
win brothers in promoting the en
terprise of breeding reindeer is
considered in p practical way,
'there should be raised on Baldwin
Peninsula In one of the bleakest
parts of Alaska a monument to
their philanthropy. —Reprinted

11, 1933.
