TOMORROW NIGHT
“Cabiria," wh.e’.i opened at the Pal-1
are last night, is the exceptional pic
ture of all times. Wonderful pho j
tugrapliy, mu wive seta, stupendous
■scones, big' moments in abundance,
gonuine thrills and a love story that j
reminds one or the tender devotion
of ihe days of the Christian per-1
seditions, evon though the Italian!
film's action takes place several cen
turies before those happenings.
It Isn't reel lifo hut real life]
brought before your face when you
eee a. volcano erupting and wrecking
destruction on all sides, when yen
see floct3 destroyed in an eye,flash,
when you see empires tumbled into
dust and cities sacked and destroyed.
4'Cablria" is founded on the dra
matic incidents of the struggle bc
■tweeai Rome awl Carthage. Gabriele
d’Annunzio has evolved a scenario
out of which the growth of one em
pire i3 assured in the destruction of
another. FYom the successful pass
age of the Alps by Hannibal's army
And the burning of the Roman fleet,
we see the changing tide in the for
tunes of war until Carthago, fighting
10 protect its own domain, struggles
against the inevitable.
Cabiria is the little peasant girl of
fticily when fate throws Into the
■hands of the Carthaginians. When
tbe high priest seizes upon her as a
fit sacrifice to the god Moloch,
Maciste realizes the unspoken love
that has been growing in his heart,
Mn3icte is only a slave who, with his
tjaistor, has come from Rome to
delve into the enemy's secrots; hut
he is a human lacing. He saves the
girl from the priests, and when
h4s own capture is imminent, places
her under the protecting influence of
Hasdrubal's daughter.
As the girl grow.a into womanhood,
-Maci3to, serving hlu sentence chained
to a millstone, again comes into pos
nO.vsion of Information that showi
she is in danger from the high priest.

JELDOVIA CRAB CANNERIES
TO START UP NEXT MONTH
(Anchorage Times.)
It Is stated that there will be four
-a.merles in the vicinity oC Seldovia
,perming and packing ihe large spi
lu crab some time next month. The
•pidcr crabs are found in abundance
a Cook Inlet at certain times of the
i'K,r. Being a deep sea crab of tre
nendous size, some reaching seven
not from tip to tip, the average
<ize running about five feet. This
jpo res which are the least known
•f. migrate to unknown regions at
•ertain periods, returning to the sbal
ow waters, it is thought, to spawn,
•ad it is then, for possibly three
nonths time, that the crabs may bo
aught. Tile meat in one of these
•verage size crabs will weigh in
.he neighborhood of 10 to 15 pounds,
mJ ,s of a pinkish red color. The
nc at is delicious and is constantly
n demand in the states ana in
Europe.
Prior to the Alaska canneries
tacking this species of crab the Jap
ineso packers furnished the United
slates market, but the recently in
reased tariff ou the Japanese pro
luct by the Uniteji States made it
>oss.bio for Alaska canneries to com
pete. It is thought the industry will
levclop into a large one within a
few years.
With, the exception of the Arctic
[Jcojn. Cook Inlet is the only place
in Alaska, as fur as can bo ancor
talped, that the spider crab is found
in abundance.
