KIPLING STORY AT
PALACE TONIGHT
'HaTry Comm Clark, theatrical pro
ducer and gldbe-trotter, who reconitly
finished his fifth tour of the ^orld,
believes tihat the first accurate por
trayal of inattivo life in India as yet
Reproduced on the screen will be
revelled in the Patho production ot
(Rudy&rd Kipling’s “Without Benefit
of Clergy,” now at the Palace*. Mr.
Clark had viewed the Indian streets
bazaars, courtyards and stage “sots,”
and had watched James Young, the
director, in action during the film
ing of several scenes wtth a full cast
of players
. “I almost believed myself back in
Lahoro, India, when I viewed the
•reties that have been so faithfully
Reproduced," he said. “Not even the
minutest details have boon overlooked
In mounting this production. Had I
• Ot visited the studio I would have
wagered those marvelous scenes could
not have 'been «?o faithfully dupli
cated. Any antaidor who knows his
Lahore would say it could not bo
doni”
“The types of players soloctcd to
portray the characters of the story
ard Wring IHienenoes of figures of
Indian life. Virginia Brown Faire as
A moor a Is typical of the young girl
lot Lahore. Thomas Holding, the
leading man of tho production, is^the
Tfyrlttfbld Ititmge of the British en
gineer, now living in (Lahore, who
hittlt the Tata dam and the Simla
railway, two of tho greatest achieve

“THE GOLEM” LA8T
TIME AT C0U8EUM
1 One of the most impressive motion
---i
“ «i i . . ...i
I picture® •3eon in Junoa.it since "Decep
tion” was flashed on the screen, was
presented before an enthusiastic audi
ence at the Coliseum and la on for
the last time tonight. It is “The
Golem.” a photoplay made in Europe
and intorprotod ’by artistic players
headed by Paul Wegener, who not
only wroto and directed the produc
tion, but who plays the rocl of "The
Golem.” The story deals with the
persecutions of the Jews in mediaeval
Europe, and to prevent the extermina
tion of his race by Emperor Rudolph,
a High Rabbi moulds a statue of
clay and invests it with life by plac
ing a magic formula an its bosom.
He thereby creates a monster which
later becomes a source of terror and
idealrNctioB, but whoso career is ter
minated in a peculiar manner. The
I picture is a massive one and ttyo
I scenes of old Prague are, to say
| the least, unique and interesting. Mr.
I Wegener makes of the monster a
i work of art seldom equalled .in ar
! tistry on ithe screen. It is a dramatic
picture which exerts a powerful and
strange appeal upon all who see it.
i HOOT GIBSON IS
! COMING TO PALACE
J He got so mad he saw green. They
! wcu’dn't let him dive off the bridge.
| or do any thrilling things for the
i movies. It was a dirty trick
The Irish blood of Galway boiled In
lilts veins. He wanted to perform
stunts for tho pictures, blut his broth
| er wouldn’t let him.
Finally the young Irishman an
jnounced h:s firm Intention of doing
j as ho pleased.
“If you won't let me jump off the
bridge for you in this picture, Fran
cis, I'll dive off Just for my own
amusement,” announced the Intrepid
young man.
So Frandls Ford, one of the screen'3
first heroes, put his young brother,
Jack, to work as a "stunt” man in his
serials.
| Thus Jack Ford was introduced to
studio life through the family me
Idium. That wais some time ago.
The young man who used to find
his recreation in jumping off bridges
is now one of the screen’s most prom
) In-cat directors.
i Fast moving action drama with a
j heart 'punch has been his specialty.
Harry Carey, the famous Universal
i “Ace of the Saddle,” has been under
the guiding direction of Jack Ford in
a majority of his stories.
Only recently has Jack Ford been
Shifted. Hoot Gibson, the smiling
.cowboy, lis his newest star.

IN MARCH; RAIN
EXCEEDS NORMAL
Only Four Clear Days Last
Month, Rainfall Recorded
22—Breezes Gentle.
Much cloudy weather and an abund
ance of rain and snow were the char
aote.ilistic features of the weather of
March, as shown by the Weather Bu
reau's meteorological summary of
fhe month.
With only 4 clear days. 7 that
were partly cloudy and 20 that were
■cloudy, the sunshine totalled only 31
per cent of the possible amount. The
average, or normal, sunshine tor
March, based on the 7 years during
wlifch sunshine records have been
kept at Juneau, Is 44 per cent of the
'possible amount.
A measurable quantity of rain or
snow fell on 22 days of the month,
whereas the normal number of such
days in March Is only 16. The total'
precipitation was 7.93 inches, which
Is 2.93 inches more than the normal,
or 35-year average. Included in this,
■total was the water equivalent of
39.7 inches of snow, or three times
the usual March snowfall. The rec-i
ords of snowfall cover a period of
20 years, and in no previous March
was this record equalled, the nearest
approach to It being in 1918, when
37.8 'ilKflies fell.
In temperature, the month was
more nearly normal, the mean being
32.8 degrees, as against an average
of previous years of 33.5 degrees
With extremes of 48 degrees on tlv»
31st and 14 degrees on the t3th. the
temperatures from day to day were
well within the limits of the records
of ether years. The mercury droppe I
to freezing on 24 days of the month,
which i-s 6 days more than the aver
age of otiher years.
So far as wind Is concerned, the
month 'behaved very well, especially
as compared with the preceding
mouth of February. Although March
is usually one of the windiest
months of the year, the highest veloc
ity recorded last month was only 30
miles an hour, on t.he 12th. The
average hourly velocity for the month
waA 7.2 miles.
Meteorologist M. B. Summers has
drawn some comparisons in last i
month's wenther betweon Juneau and |
Wrangell. At the last named weath
er station the month had a mean
temperature of 36.4 degrees, wljh
extremes of 34 and 21 degrees, 4fnd
19 days on which the temperature
dropped to freezing. The precipi
tation totalled 10.66 Inches, nearly
all of"which was In the form of rain,
