COSTLY TIP WINS PRIZE
HAGERSTOWN, Md. — Ml—'The
young couple seemed disappointed
when the Hagerstown Daily Mail
editor told them he already had
received a tip on the fire. The fire
had destroyed the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Bob Kendle, and the first tip
ster won a cash prize from the
paper.
"I’m Bob Kendle,” said the man.
“We thought if we could win a
tip prize v.e’d salvage something
out of the fire.”
They got the prize.

BOB HOPE STARS
IN GREAT COMEDY
AT 20TH CENTURY
Broadway, that fabulous street
where anything can happen — and!
usually does — is the scene of Bob
Hope's newest Paramount comedy,
“Sorrowful Jones.” Based on a
story by Damon Runyon, who prob
ably knew' Broadway and the wise
guys and gals who make their liv
ing on it better than anyone in
the world, the film is said to top
anything Hope has ever done. It
arrives Sunday at the 20th Century
Theatre with Lucille Ball as Bob’s
co-star and a supporting cast J
headed by William Demarest, Bruce !
Cabot, Thomas Gomez and youug
Mary Jane Saunders.
Hope, in the title role, portrays a J
penny-pinching bookmaker who
lives for his bankroll, although he j
occasionally casts an appreciative
eye in the direction of Miss Ball. |
She w ill be seen as a singer in a i
nightclub belonging to a big-time
Broadway gambler, played by Bruce
Cabot and known as Big Sieve, j
Miss Ball covers the soft spot in j
her heart for Bob with contempt
for his miserliness. Then one day
Bob steps out of character (or into
it) by accepting as security for a
bet a desperate man's little daugh
ter. When the man is bumped off
for knowing too much about Big
Steve’s horse-racing manipulations,
Bob finds himself the "father” of
a darling child.
Little Mary Jane Saunders will be
seen as the child.
The story concerns the changes
Mary Jane works in the life of
bookie Bob and the effect of those
changes on his romantic, as well as
his business life. From all accounts
Hope has never been more hilar
iously funny nor has he ever had I
a story as strong and appealing as
"Sorrowful Jones.”

(Special Correspondence)
ELFIN COVE, Alaska, Jan. 17 — I
Mrs. Ross Peterson was a passsenger
from Juneau Sunday. The trip was
a little bumpy, however, Lucile was
happy to be home again.
Mr. Jim Lingard has been suf
fering with a severe cold the past
week but Is up and at work again.
Our sudden cold weather from
our mild winter to date may cause
more colds, the thermometer read
13 above this morning.
The Larson family was certainly
happy today, for arriving on the
plane came a photograph of their
son Walter Jr., who Is attending
college in Sitka. A very fine pic
ture of Walter and the frame was
unusual as it was made of wood
and most attractive.

ment of Anchorage, flew here Tues
day to get information for use of i
the bureau in determining land dis- I
position by the bureau after the j
