Words are inadequate to express just what I do think of It. Robert Service said 'that God was -tired when he made it, but I do not agree with him on that point. I believe that God made Alaska first and then rested, because after the job he must have been in need of rest. . ' I "Somewhere In the Bible there Is a quotation about 'resting on the seventh day.' I-think it must have been' on this particular day that He completed the task of creating Alaska. For the past few years my home has been in Holly wood," and 1 ' like it there very much. But.wha.t I like and dis like has nothing to do with the future of the. motion picture busi ness, as I .see the handwriting on the wall.
