PEARL WHITE AT
PALACE LAST TIME
“Any Wife,” Pearl White’s latest,
'Fox picture, scored .1 success at itsi
first Showing yesterday at the Pal-j
ago Theater. Its story, written by
jblia Tolsva shows the cumulative
•penalty paid by a wife who, giving
•way to a spirit of discontent with j
fter uneventful home life, finds her
self suddenly in the midst of condi-j
•tjons that pass from bad to worse.:
irhtil sho 'becomes overwhelmed with I
remorse and desperation. The situ- ]
aifons leading up to this paint are I
exceedingly dramatic, and the star's
performance throughout is marked by
a histrionic skill which readily ex-'
plains the enviable place she oecu '
pies in the regard of picture-goers. '
•'OVER THE Hlt-i. AT
COL I BE UM LAST TIME
‘■‘Over the HIP.,” tlie new William
Fox phdtaplay that swept New York
off Us ‘feet, was 3hown as a return
at the Coliseum Theater last night
and is on for the final showing to
night.
The local showing proved beyond
the shadow of doubt that “Over the
HIM” Is ail that our New York friends
declared it to 'be. and judging from
pi&ny comments on its screening
here, it la-one of the biggest hits that
WJs have ever enjoyed.
■A good audience was on hand to |
greet the picture and give it a hearty J
dnd richly deserved welcome; pay- :
fig not only tho tribute of spontane
ous laughter to its many delightful
comedy scenes, but payiny also the
Barer tribute of sympathetic tears to
tta pathetic episode.
The story, which was taken front
Will Carteton’s poems, recounts the
Jpys and sorrows of a typical mother,
Who raises a large family of children,
only to have them, in her old age,
allow her to drift from them, to ek >
out an existence on charity. The
“Mack sheep" son. however, when he
discovers 'this condition, comes to
flis aged mother’s rescue, and all ends
happily—with tho little mother, just
Mko every true mother that ever
lived, forgiving and forgetting the
selfishness and cruelty of her own
frosh and blood
HAROLD LLOYD IS
COMING TO PALACE
"Grandma’s Boy,” Harold Lloyd -
newest comedy in five parts, ami his
most am'biti-ous attempt for Asso
ciated Exhibitors, comes to the Pal
ace Theater Thursday. It is the
Coinedy that Bob Sherwood in "Life,
iSWd should win for Lloyd a “room
and bath in the Hall of Fame.”
The story, which is by Hal Roach,
iSam Taylor and Jean Havez, has
for fts theme a subject as serious
as aftp regeneration of a coward, but
i'ts serflMisness adds to rather than
detracts from the fun.
Lloyd U the Boy, who, all his life
has been gripped by fear. One day
after his weakness has been driver
very forcibly home to him. and he it
filled with shame, his little old-fash
ioned grandma tails him a marvelous
story of how his grandfather, who
had distinguished himself in the Civil
War, overcame his cowardice with
the aid ol' a charm given him by
a gypsy.
Grandma gives the Boy the charm
and what he does then is too good
to tell. Suffice to say that the boy
finds that courage is a matter of
self confidence, and lie comes out
on top.
MARY PICKFORD COMING
IN “THE LOVE LIGHT”
i.Mary Ptckford’s 'latest United Ar
tists production, “The Love L.git.”
which will be seen at the Conseum
Theater on Thursday and Fril y, is
an entirely different story and pn
absolutely hew' characterization tbnr.
anything in which the world's n\ j t
toeart has heretofore appeared.
Ever since Mary Pickford has had
her own producing organization ana
could dictate as to the type of pbo'o
play in which site was to appear, she
lias adapted tlie policy of nev a 1
hering entirely to one lino of par s.
not only (because she lielieves that he
public like variety, hut because she
believes the different linos of chu"
waters tend to Increase her abil.i'
as an artist.
“The Love Light" has unusvi il T
tcTest owing to the fact tlia. the idea
was worked out while Mis.- Pickf >rd
was on her lioneyinQir.. She met
Frances Marion in Italy, u 1.0 op. her
honeymoon, and the two worked out
the story sitting n a high rock over
looking the Adriatic a.rl it was in
Italy they secured many of the
properties anfl several of the play
ers who support Miss Pickford. The
players and properties were brought
all the way from Southern Europe
to 'California where the Italian set
tings were minutely reproduced from
■photographs taken by the two.
DOROTHY GISH IN A
SERIOUS FILM ROLE
'For the first time in years, M;*s
Dorothy Gish, one of the most pop’t
lar movie stars and comedien es, is

heart interest and emotional foiling.
In I). W Griffith's motion picture

ed Artists release, coming to the Pal
ace next Sunday, she lias the cele
brated part-of the blind girl, Louise,
the same that was played for 3<i
years by Kate Claxton in the stage

INSURANCE ACT
IS UNSUITALBE
FOR TERRITORY
Leehey Says Has Several De
fects — Other Witnesses
Appear at Hearing.
| The proposed In.lu .trial insurant 1
system now under consideration by
the Legislature is not suited to Al
aeka and will handicap mining, work
] hardships on the employee ; anti em
ployers alike, declare I .Maurice D.
Lcelicy, who appeared before the
Joint Legislative Committee last night
in the Senate chasnb 'r. It. Id. Rob
orison, who foK'owcd Mr. Leehey.
declared it to lie a “purely socialistic
bill.”
Others making statements were il.
;L. Faulkner, J. L. Fozard und Henry
| Koden. Mr. Faulkner's statement
I was confined to fie .ulminisirtilion of
' Lite bill and its probable costs and
j consequent burden on industry- Mr.
Fozard-s statements were confined to
, questions on the bill and its opera
i tions and answers 10 qu estions. Mr.
I Roden, who said lie had given some
study to the matter, said Lie hill l
a good one Unit admitted that tlioi •
i aro many handicaps to be ovcrc ;m *
before it can lie successfully put into
: operation in the Territory
Cost Over-Emphasized
He suirt that he thought that Lie
| cost of administration lis t probiUi.vi
boon stressed too »•.lonely, adding.
1 however, that no man could say with
! any accnrtfcy lww mm h it would cost
as no definite data was available on
which to (base estimates.
Asked by Mr. Dunn If he did no'
think it would be a good plan for the
Territory to have an Insurance in
vestigator cover tlio Territory and
make a careful stil ly of the sit an
tlon. compiling authoritative data on
which costs and other matters con
nected with the proposed system, Mr
Roden replied that such a plan would
be a grtod one.
•Mr. Roden said that some of th ■
points raised by the opposition wen
worthy of serious consideration an !
should be given it. Hi1 said lie did
not believe that the Territory's In
I dustries should have any unnecessary
j burden placed on them and that they
should not lie taxed more than ir
necessary to run the government ef
ficiently. In this connection, lie In
terpolated, he did not favor the In
creased tax on salmon canning as a
revenue measure, but as the means
of conserving the supply!
Burden Smalt Operator
Mr. Leehey said that the system,
owing to the conditions in Alaska,
could not help but retard mining de
velopment in the remote districts.
The class of miners who would be
most seriously affected, he claimed,
would be that which took over -pros
pect a and developed small mines or
carried development to such a stage
that the properties were purchased
toy the larger companies and operat
ed on a big scale. It would cause
capital to ho wary about taking over
prospects, he argued
He pointed out that under the pres
ent mining compensation act the
burden of caring for injured work
men devolves on the operator. He
is vitally interested in It because
it affects the final settlement for
such injuries. Under the proposed
svstem, ho pointed, ell the operator
has to do 13 to pay his premium and1
the, care of the inju: I workman in
tl«; ro:;;>on.ifbM!t>• of the Territory.
Harli a situation, lia contended, nat
iirally resulted in om nr two condi
tions, first tire injured man would I
suffer, as it •would prove almost im
possible for the Ten tory to have
physicians, nurses, adjusters; etc., at
every mining district in ink • care cij
the injured promptly, or, . red, it
would work an injustice on lire opet i
tur. who aluhough l iving hi- prem
iums to the Territory, would lre
forced to look out for injured per
for humanity's sake.
Is Socialistic Udl
Tlia provision of fch • hill for a
monopolistic state 'iusirennco fund, d
dared Mr. Robertson, is purely a
socialistic act. The plan is in vogue
in but few states, Ire said, and none
have adopted ft since 11115, North
Dakota, under the Non-Earli-an re
gime. Ibeing t'oo lost to do so. At
that lime, he said, the North Dakota
legislature was coni posed largely of
farmers and In passing such a law,
it exempted the farming industry
from the act.
Experience in many endeavors, as
serted Mr. llotbart sou, had proven
that the government cannot success-1
fully compete'with private capital in J
business undertakings. He opposed '
the Territory entering tire insurance|
businedo. in nitre -Hites, lie added.j
where industrial insurance acts an
in effect on a competitive fund
basis, the priv.it; companies write
more insurance Him the stales be
cause they giv • belt r service to both
omph vers and can '.veos. Twenty
six other state ;, lie aid. have work
men's compensn't ion laws but not
state funds. Theoretically, he con
cluded, the plan v. - fine, but in
practice it did no 'ling but injur
those Whom it was sought to benofit i

modeling it, as provided for in the
Aldrich substitute for tiie Pol ley bill,
the third being suggested by Sena
tor Chamberlin calling for the pur
chase of the Garslde Building and al
loration.-i on it.
The Senate had the matter under
considf ration for almost two hours
and reached no final conclusion. Wit
nesses testifying relative to the fire
proof building ldan, gave $00,000 as
the probable cost of an adequate
structure-. John Reel; 'presented the
\. B. Building proposition, say'ing
that it w is w -11 worth the money
asked for it and had cost about
$00,000 to construct. Lloyd Hill of
r.'i'ed Hi - (Jar.sido Building and real

yesterday afternoon by a vote of 7

the Territory for $7,000 would ••••cur •
the corvfcoa of fite experts of tiie
Bureau of Minos in aiding miners
and prospectors mid in mine in
spection, as well as the continuation
of Mr. Stewart's services as Labo-r
Commiusiioner. He compared this to
the cost of maintaining the Terri
torial Mine Inspection Bureau with
a -ingle engineer, amounting to ap
proximately $14,000 per biennium. He
and others urged passage of the bill
