"Strictly G. I.," She De-
clares—Leaves for Hol-
lywood Tomorrow
With all the resiliency of youth, Marjorie Reynolds, vivacious blonde starlet and Fred Astaire's latest dancing partner, today viewed Juneau enthusiastically after a good night's sleep and was ready for three shows today—one for the boys in town and two scheduled for this evening to permit attendance of all the men at Duck Creek.
After six weeks "on the road" via every conceivable type of airplane and a whirlwind series of one-night stands in camps stretching out to the very last on the Aleutian chain, Miss Reynolds admits she "will be glad to get back home for awhile."
Today's appearances mark the last of the trip, as Miss Reynolds will leave for the south tomorrow and does not expect to make any further stops before returning to the States.
