BIG DRAMATIC MOMENTS
IN “MASQUERADER" AS FILM
Betrayed by a Bear, exposed by his
love for music, stripped of bis dis
guise by hts failure to recognize the
secretary of the man he was sup
posed to be, ho found himself verg
ing oh the brink of ruin. The rep
utation of one of England's oldest
gnd moBt respected families was at
■take—the honor of a man who had
made a great name for himself and
then dissipated his prestige.
This Is the situation that faced
John Loder In the climax of "The
Masquerader.” the coming First Na
tional attraction at the Palace The
atre tonight, which marks one of the
moat unusual and gripping stories
that has ever been translated to the
screen.
In Juxtaposition to the strong
physical resemblanfes of two men, a
resemblance so strong that the wife
of one is unable to tell them apart
even after close scrutiny, Is an even
stronger contrast of tastes and traits.
One man has allowed poison to seep
his soul, to kill the love of music and
everything beautiful. The other re
mits a yearning for the hours at the
jiaao..a erasing,for. Intellectual com-,
pantonahtp and s louring for home
sad Iwnlly. x
I
In the contrast of these two men
there has been evolved a plot that le
stranger than "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde." Richard Walton Tully. mak
ing his debut as a motion picture
producer after many successful ven
tures on the speaking stage, is the
/nbn who visualiz^^the possibilities
of this story and is starring Guy
Bates Post in it. Mr. Post has to
his credit more than three thousand
appearances on the stage in the dual
role he crates In the picture.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and Sul
phur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know
The use of Sage ana Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to lts
natural color dates back to grand
mother’s time. She used It to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive. Whenever her hair
took on that duli, faded or streaked
appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for a bottle
of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” you will get tills famous
old preparation, Improved by the
'addition to other Ingredients, which
can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known down-town drug
gist says it darkens the hair so na
turally that nobody can tell It has
! been applied. You simply dampen
I a sponge or soft brush with It and
j draw this through your hair, tak
ing one strand at a time. By morn
i Ing the gray hair disappears, and
j after another application or two, It
I becomes beautifully dark and glos
icy. —(Advertisement)'
LOCAL FAIR TO
PROMOTE EVERY
HOME INDUSTRY
Kane Outlines Way in Which
Fair Expects to Stimulate
Local Industry.
That the local Southeastern Alaska
Fair, which will be held in Juneau
ftplember 20-22, inclusive, will stimu
late every Industry represented there
in . 3 exhibits is the belief of the
Fair Association and tills conviction
is the mainspring of the organization,
declared Manager Ed. M. Kane to
day. it Is by fostering all local in
dustries thnt the Fair will establish
itself as a permanent Insti ulion, he
added.
•'Agricultural fe.is have been de
veloped to a greater rtegre-> of per
fection and are mo,c unlver.a'ly em
ployed in the United States for the
advancement of home indusv.}," he
said, "than in any other country tl.
Uhe world. Progressive eonnties and
districts display the Industry of their
people at annual fairR. Almost every,
State In the Union collects each year
the products of the soil, the latest
Inventions of farm machinery, pedi
greed horses, cattle and many other
kinds of livestock in a big state fair.
Make Big 6tridee
“There hare been wonderful strides
made In the methods under which
those expositions have been staged
during the past twenty-five or thirty
years, and one Van only appreciate
the benefit derived by such fairs and
the esteem In which they are held
by the public, by reading In maga
zines that publish agricultural news,
of the great number of fairs that
have been held annually for the
past forty and fifty years. This Is an
evidence of universal approval that
very few kinds of combined exposl
tlons and amusement fairs can boast
of.
"It is a singular coincidence, but
as agricultural fairs have developed
and become more of a universal form
of exploiting the resources of the
United States, agriculture has also
developed, interast in pedigreed
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry
and many other kinds of animals has
been fostered ani) encouraged, unti'
today the United States outranks
all other countries of the world In
agriculture and thoroughbred live
stock.
"The blue fox Industry lias devel
oped so rapidly (hiring tlie past few'
years that It now is recognized as one
of the most Important branches of
agriculture in Alaska. For a number
of years a large percentage of the
foxes raised have been sold for breed
ing purposes. This demand has cre
ated among quite a number of the
progressive fox ranchers a desire to j
Improve the grade of their foxes.
This feeling has been particularly
noticeable during the past year. And,
as an evidence that this demand for
a better grade of foxes is quite gen
eral among fox ranches, can he
pointed out by the large number of
foxes that some of the ranchers who
I are breeding first class animals have

Aid Fox Farming
•‘One of the new departments that j
has been added to the Fair this year j
is a blue fox department. The aim |
of the Fair Association is to ettcoar- j
age lhe breeding of better foxes and |
to help in advancing the interest of
the Industry and bring the general
public into closer understanding of
the importance of this branch of as-.
rietilture. We are offering three ail- (
ver rups for the best foxes that are]
exhibited at the fair. One of the cups |
Is for the best adult male fox. one j
ie for the best female fox and the'
third cup is for the best litter of
1923 puppies of nine or more.
"A litter of nine puppies isn't a |
large litter, but we decided that thisij
was a good average. Exhibitors arejj
limited to one entry In each class.,:
The Fair Association will provide unl-|j
form pens In which to exhibit the;:
foxes while on display in the show;:
room and will furnish feed for the!]
animals during the fair period. Freight ]
will also be paid on tile animals onojj
way to or from the point of shipping!]
to Juneau. |j
Many Will Exhibit
"I am of Hip bollef that blue foxes
■vein assume the same importantce j
to our Fair that horses anil cattle
assume to the larger fairs in the;
States. We expect at least 10 ex
hibitors in the fox department this
year. J. Hill, the Sullvan Island!
fox rancher, was the first rancher to
enter his animals, he will exhibit one
dog. one vixen and one litter of;
puppies. Several of the most promi-j
nent ranches in the Juneau district'
have signified their intention of enter-,
lng their animals for premiums.,
I am sure that by the date for elos
lng the entry list we shall have a j
large list of foxes entered. The entry j
list closes In this department at noon j
Saturday, Sept. 15. Exhibitors In'
this department must enter their:
foxes before this date in order that j
provision can be made for pens for:
their foxes.
“Fairs as a rule are meeting places |
for men who are in the market for •
breeding stock and those who have :
high grade animals for sale. Sale of
foxes will be permitted while the
animals are on exhibit in the show
t<bom. No conimisslons or any other ;
charges will be made on any Rales 1
that may bn made during the fair.
Gets Wide Publicity
“The Southeastern Alaska Fair Is
becoming widely advertised. Wo re
ceived a vletter on one of the last
boats, from Miss Mabel Cole, of;
Iowa Falls, Iowa. Miss Cole is
anxious to enter some art paintings
and exhibit them at the fair. Auother
letter came by the same mall, from
a colored jubilee troupe of St. Louis,
who would like to come to Juneau

tors to the fair,','
