Some of the motion picture producers who have planned busy sum mers for their players wish that she wasn't quite so thrilled at the prospect. Her infectious enthusiasm has sent half of Hollywood scurrying to their bosses to ask if they can't have leave of absence too. Bette Davis wants to go, but Warners have big plans for her. Josephine Hutchinson wants her annual fling on the stage. And Joan Crawford and Franchot Tone are acting mighty mysterious, reading plays and time tables. Add one more picture to the cur rent list of those you simply have to see. Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer’s "Captains Courageous" is one of the finest pictures of all time.

Haze-shrouded, the Great Smoky mountains dominate the horizon of eastern Tennessee. Visitors often are amazed to find such lofty, wild, and unspoiled mountains straddling the Tennes see-North Carolina state line. In 1923, when public-spirited men and women of the two states or ganized to encompass soaring heights and plunging valleys in a national park, even the mountain eers, grandchildren of pioneers who had braved the arrows of cunning Cherokees, had not explored the whole area. Adventurous hikers who did in vade the mountains found the un dergrowth eo thick in places that they had to chop their way through It with an ax. A few naturalists and surveyors visited parts of the Smokies.

There is only one modern road over the mountains between Ten nessee and North Carolina. It winds through the scenic valley of the West Prong of Little Pigeon river, crossing and recrossing the stream to the state line at Newfound Gap. The Chimneys, rugged twin peaks, thickly forested, stand like sentinels, guarding the bridge which carries the highway across the West Prong. From the bridge all the way to Newfound Gap the traveler is hemmed in by steep, wooded mountain slopes, unbroken except where a waterfall, too high above and too far away to be heard, gleams in the sun like a white silken ribbon as a mountain stream sweeps over a precipice toward the noisy river cascading below. At Newfound Gap along tha line the mountain top has be«i ex cavated and space provided tor perking several hundred 'automo biles.

Adolf Hitler was born on tha Ba varian frontier of Germany in 1889, tha son of a customs official who had political ambitions tor him. Tha boy developed a desire to be an artist. His father opposed him, so Adolf refused to study in school. He was the despair of hit father and mother.

Warner Brothers have arranged to borrow Miriam Hopkins for two pictures and it looks as if it would keep the entire studio busy for weeks find ing stories to which she won’t raise a violent objection. Scheduled to appear with Errol Flynn in ‘‘The Perfect Speci men," she flatly re fused. Instead she will make a tearful little romance called '"Episode" supported by Ian Hunter and Charles Winninger.

Of ficials who had investigated were enthusiastic. "Nature is at her choicest there," they reported. Development of the area as a national playground began, and to day the thousand resident families have shrunk to about four hundred. Soma sold their holdings outright and moved out of the mountains. Highways Are Being Built. For six years now government agencies under the supervision of the national park service have been building roads and trails and re stocking forests and streams. The work is just begun. Only sev enty miles of high-standard roads, twenty-five miles of secondary roads, and fewer than 600 miles of trails have been completed. Yet for the last three years this infant of our national park system, notgret dedicated, has been attracting more visitors than any other of our 25 • ri 48 RR R w Rauctug aaA w etomm | aa.

Tha native wild orchids, while not so largo as tha more familiar cul tivated species, have all th* exqui site form and dainty coloring of their "civilised" cousins. Like many other plant families in the Smokies, the orchids are found throughout a long blossoming sea son. Certain species make a bold debut in the very early spring; oth ers appear reluctant to yield sway to chilly autumn. Ferns range from the most deli cate, with lacy fronds, to the most hardy types. There are lush car pets of mosses and lichens of many varieties, and hundreds of mugfc rooms and other fungus specials* range from almost microscopic sizes to the large and showy vari eties, many of which are prized edi bles. Here the catawba rhododendron is at its best. In late June and July its white and purple blossoms cover whole mountain spurs, fleck sweeping slopes, and envelop trails and streams. Mountaineers call rhododendron and laurel thickets "slicks" and "hells." Indeed, the plants grow in such tangled masses in some areas that only wilderness animals can get through them.
