i
Mac West’s Girth
Control Gives
Svelte Figure
-
( By Rabbin Coons )
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., (TP)—Yrnj
can look for a new Mae West in
“Every Day’s a Holiday." Well I
mean the old Mae will seem new,
so long has it been since she sli
thered and swiveled and brought
hip-hip hoorays through “She
Done Him Wrong.”
She’s 10 pounds lighter, and an
extra 10 pounds going round a
curve can upset a career if not
an applecart. She’s svelte, that’s
it, and for the first time in mon
ths, watching her work, you feel
complacently sure that the retain
ing walls will hold.
Mae’s a woman, and any wo
man likes to be told she has that
Gibson-girl figure back again.
Mae was pleased to be told, and
—if the censors will permit—I
might add that she practically
blushed with pleasure.
In Ermine Again
‘Does it show that much?” she
said. “How’d I do it? Oh, I al
ways go in trainin’ before a pic
ture. Ridin’, hikin’, bicyclin’.And
I cut down on my eatin’. Bat the
same things, but not so much.”
Mae was swathed in a sweeping
hour-glass of crimson with bead
ed doo-dads on it. Her picture
hat was smothered in red plumes.
A high lace choker clutched at
her neck, and her ermine wrap,
gaudy with tails, swaggered in
solently as she glided into a scene
with Charlie Butterworth. But
terworth is the Butler of a Gra
mercy Park Millionaire of 1899.
Mae thinks he’s the boss.
Up to Old Tricks
When Butterworth exits, Mae
holds the camera’s eye for a full
two months, shunting around and
giving things the eye. It’s pan
tomine in the Western style—>un
censorable. Then she has this
cracking bit of Brooklynese: “Not
a thing in this joint worth less
than a hundred bones.
Mae said she was glad to be
back in bustles and plumes. She
said. “You can do things with 'em
get a sort of feelin’ out of the
period.” Which I take it, both
from Mae and from the script,
means that she will be up to her
old tricks, the kind she used be
fore she made the mistake of go
ing modern.
In an Oriental antique shop,
Anna May Wong was working out
her destiny as “Daughter of Shan
ghai,” first of the war-inspired
movies to get under way. Stran
gely, this is a mystery story and,
but for the title, owes nothing to
the Sino-Japanese trouble.
Anna May was charming, as al
ways. She had planned to retire
to China, you’ll remember, and
she was glad she had changed
her mind. Her return was not
unexpected. It's unusual only
when an actress really retires.
“But I have a sister in Shang
hai,” she said. "After the first
battle theie I had a cable from
heir. She was all right then. I
cabled her right back to get the
hell out of there.”
W. C. Fields, looking in the
pink and quite cherubic—even
his nose has paled somewhat—
was working in practically soli
tary splendor on the great mod
ernistic ship set of “The Big
Broadcast.” ,
Except for actor Leif Erickson,
his audience was composed en
tirely of set workers, all of whom
toughed uproariously at his tricks
It seemed symbolic, this day,
Fields working alone. Symbolic
of the speed with which certain
other Paramount player*, when
picture-stealing Bill <was assigned
to the picture, found as many per
sons as possible why they could
n’t appear in it.

The series of assemblies com
memorating American Education
Week and the Constitution See-;
quecentennial got under way i
Monday morning with a short
talk on the makers of the Consti
tution, by Mary Hood Chapman.
Tuesday morning Hudrey Dunham
told us about the Constitutional!
Convention. The program plan-!
ned for Wednesday was included!
in Thursday’s program, s>ince
school routine was so disrupted
Wednesday. Thursday afternoon,
Armistice Day, the main program',
was given. Patriotic songs were;
sung and a patriotic poem read
by Marianne Mish. The series of
Constitutional talks was complet
ed, including The Compromises,
given by Eddie Shedley; The
Fight for Adoption, by Ernest
Bergh; and The Amendments, by
Ann Walsh. Turning to educa
tion, Mr. Thune’s Physics Class
presented a series of short talks
on the value of a scientific educa
tion, and Harry Lewis gave us a
brief sketch of the life of Horace
Mann, father of American educa
tion. A few words from Mr. Pool
touching on Armistice Day brot
the program to*a fitting close.
Wednesday’s storm had some
little influence on the school, for
it provided us with an unexpect
ed half-holiday. The pupils, upon
arriving at school, were greeted
with the news that there would
be no classes until afternoon.
Students and teachers spent the I
morning viewing the havoc
wrought by the storm, and. at
least where the older boys were
concerned, doing what they could
to help.
The changed gym classes, danc
ing for the boys and tumbling for
the girls, got under way this
week. I cannot vouch for the
dancing ability of the boys, but
the girls of Nome High were nev
er cut out to be tumblers !
The Home Ec. girls have been
studying good table manners and
demonstrations on setting a table
properly. Home Ec. Group I did
not have a labratory period this
week because of the Armistice
Day program. Group II prepar
ed cheese dishes which were very
appetizing. Group I intend to
propare muffins next week. A
new towel rack was bought for
the Home Ec. room, and the man
ual training boys are making some
raoks for the room.

The sixth and seventh grades’
weekly athletic schedule has been
changed—they now have basket
ball three days a week and games
the other two. The Art class was
devoted to Thanksgiving subjects.
The room flowers are growing
nicely and add much to its ap
pearance.
A new boy, Oscar Nelson, has
started to school. His arrival just
balances the grade enrollments—
there are nine pupils in the sixth
grade and nine in the seventh.
The fourth and fifth graders
are making a book to send to
children in Oakland, California.
Each pupil chooses some one
phase of Nome life, writes an ac
count of it, and illustrates it with
a free-hand drawing. All the ar
ticles will be bound together,
making an interesting view of
Nome. They have tried their
hands at mixing poster paints,
and some very original designs
are the result.
The second and third graders
are very proud of their pictures
of the storm depicting the waves
dashing over the jetty and bulk
heads, houses partially washed
away, g^id other typical scenes,
in contrast, they also made cut
paper flower designs.
The first and second graders
have been working diligently in
their new seat work pads, given
them at the first of the week.
