Huge, husky (242 Ibs., 6 ft. 3 in.) Cap Krug looked like an Alaskan himself when he got into a wool shirt. He flew across the Arctic Circle to Point Barrow, ate whale meat, and walked through a litter of walrus heads to duck into native shacks. He surprised his guides by landing two-foot rainbow trout in the Kenai River. He also listened-and listened. Everywhere he went-Fairbanks, Point Barrow, Anchorage, Seward, Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Metla Katla-Alaskans who had always wanted to tell the Secretary of the Interior what they thought of the Government proceeded...

Here the surface swarms with "krill," or free-swimming crustaceans, which they strain...
Without Reservations (RKO Radio) rescues Claudette Colbert from the whale-boned dignity of her recent mother-with-grown-children roles, brings her back again as the giggly, harebrained, pratfalling heroine of a romantic farce. In this highly specialized type of film, Veteran Colbert excels. The screwball love story was excellent entertainment when she first tried it back in 1934 (It Happened One Night). It is still surprisingly good-and so is Claudette...
