CONSTANCE BINNEY IN
GOOD SHOW AT COLISEUM
• It was at Constance Blnney's own
request that “The Case of Becky”
was selected for her. This 1b the
famous drama by Edward Locke in
which Frances Starr appeared when
It was presented In New York by
David Belasco. The scenario was
prepared by J. C%rkson Miller for
Sealart.
The story Is a study of a freak
pf the subconscious mind. There are
cases known to science—hundreds of
them—where one human body seems
to harbor two personalities, each an
Individual self, and, more often than
usual, Inimical to each other.
In "The Case of Becky,” at the
Coliseum for the last time tonight,
the heroine Is the victim of a con
stant changing from one personality
to another. How she Is saved from
herself and rescued from a villain
ous hypnotist who kept her better
■elf In subjection Is unfolded In this
pipping drama.
HELENE CHADWICK IS
STAR AT PALACE
Helene Chadwick, beautiful screen
actress, got Boaked to the skin at
the Goldwyn Studios one day, while
making seenes for “The Sin Flood,"
her latest photoplay. While there
were plenty of dry clothes about,
nobody offered comfort or assistance.
She was left to stand dripping rivu
lets. until the sun dried her.
That's not as hard-hearted as it
seems, even though it is the actual
truth. In this startling Goldwyn
picture, now the attraction at the
Palace. Miss Chadwick plays a part
wherein she is rained on, soaked
through and through, and then shut
up in a water tight room for three
days. She has no change of cloth
Ing, so of course her clothes dry on
her. and, says she, "We might have
faked It, except that the suit I wear
Is soft silk, and if it actually dried
On me It would shrink to the lines
Of my figure. If we dried it on the
line, it wouldn't. So I had to play
clothes line, because realism is the
thing In pictures now!”
SOUTHERN PRODUCTION AT
COLI8EUM TOMORROW

poration production. “The Daughtei

trlth the entire action laid in Ken

Inna Harrison, one of the pretties!
and youngest stars on the screen
and Kempton Greene are the twe
leading players fli the production.
There's a mighty clever twist tc
— the plot, and good dramatic suspense
In the unfolding of the story. Th<
whimsical appeal of beautiful Irmt
Harrison adds color to the produc

he modeled after one successfully
operated in New York City. ,

ALASKA'S GRIEF
OVER TRAGIC END
Alaska Loses Great and Good
Friend, Says Governor—
Shock Is Stunning.

! Territory, boar silent testimony to
the sorrow filling every Alaskan
lipart. In no other part of the Re
public will his passing be more sin
cerely mourned. His warm band
clasp Is still felt, bis cheering words
resound and bis buoyant spirit yet
abides. Alaska has lost a great and
good friend and the memory of his
visitation will endure forever.
"Returning from the interior, as
the end of the memorable trip ap
proached. he earnestly voiced his re
gret that he must soon leave this
wonderful country. Ho would have
tarried, if he could. The climate
refreshed and Invigorated him and
the scenery enchanted him. Not
once did he betray any sign of fa
tigue. He truly rested, although dur
ing his fortnight's travels and so
i journ he personally greeted fully
1 one-third of the people of the Ter
ritory. ITe wanted to meet them all
and the cordiality and genuineness
of his greeting Impressed every com
munity.
Attuned to Mankind
"I doubt whether any other Presi
dent. In lilstody was quite so attuned
to mankind as he. His love of the
people was strikingly manifest. The
children of Alaska appealed to him
strongly. Again and again he said
that such a rising generation guar
anteed Alaska's future. Because of
the smallness of our communities Ills
visit partook an Intimate toueh that
would have been impossible In the
crowded world. This was the charm
ing phase of It to him, and Alas
kan's may well, in this sad hour,
find comfort in the knowledge that
no untoward episode or Incident
marred his journey anywhere.
"His demise brings to me and my
family a personal sorrow beyond
expression and a sympathy for Mrs.
Harding—brave soul—that is too ac
ute for words.”
STRAWBERRIES ARE
LARGE AS HEN'S EGGS
“Tell the world that Alaska Is
far from being a land of snow and
lee, as some folks believe," was the
message accompanying four quarts
of luscious Alaska sirawherries sent
to Seattle from Haines by B. A. Bar
nett, agent of the Alaska Steamship
Company at that port. The berries
were in the nature of a present lb
Joseph C. Harris, assistant superin
tendent of the Alaska Steamship
Company, and were brought to Se
attle by Capt. John Livingstone, mas
ter of the. steamship Jefferson, which
arrived yesterday from the North.
Mr. Barnett sent several boxes of
his larger strawberries to President
Harding, with the request that they
be served at breakfast aboard the
naval transport Henderson. Some
of the Alaska strawberries presented
to the President "were as large as
hen’s eggs," Captain Livingstone, de
clared.— (Seattle Times.)

regular attendant at the President's
Cabinet meetings, a custom estab
lished for the first time in his case.
