your luck may not change, or vice
versa, whether calamity may not lie
around the-corner at the heydey of
prosperity was used as the foundation
of a fascinating picture, “Life’s Darn
Funny,” starring Viola Dana, coming
to the Coliseum Thursday and Friday.
The original plot of the picture
came from Christine Jope Slade’s
Saturday Evening Post story, “Care-1
takers Within,” which took the read
ers of this weekly by storm.
“UNDER TWO FLAGS”
COMING TO PALACE
“Under Two Flags" is one of the
few really great stories.
A love epic Immortal, a tragedy
sublime, “Under Two Flags” captured
the heart of the world when it came
as a noved from the pen of Ouida
(Loul** de L.a Karaee), and its growth
in popularity was heightened by its
presentation on the stage by many
renowned artists, including Blanche
Bates. It has now been made into a
picture by the Universal Film Co.,
and will be seen here Thursday at
the Palace Theatre. Priscilla Dean,
than whom there is no more mag
netic figure on the screen, breathes
the fire of her dynamic personality
into the role of Cigarette, idol of a
French regiment at Algiers.
There are street Beenes in "Un
der Two Flags" that give a true in
this French province of northern,
sight of the life of the masses in j
Africa. The military pomp of an j
army post is accurately presented.]
And the oppressive luxury surround
rounding the pampered beauties of a
sheik’s harem add picturesque color
to this dramatic film.

CHAUTAUQUA
PROGRAM IS
ENTERTAINING
Yodlers, Lecture by Evans
and Clown Stunts.
Such a variety of Interesting enter
tainment in one evening has perhaps
never before been offered in Juneau
as the program of Chautauqua last
night at Elks’ Hall which consisted
of Swiss Alpine yodles, songs and
readings by Mrs. Otto Fiechtl's
Swiss Alpine Yodlers, a lecture by
Mr. James Davis, superintendent of
Chautauqua and demonstrations of
athletic skill by Will l,eq, chaptqq
qua clown. As on the opening night,
the hall was filled hy an enthusias
tic and appreciative audience.
The Swiss Alpine Yodlers are ar
j lists in this department of vocql
Interpretation. Each number of their
program received heavy applause
from the audience and at the close
of the program the applause was so
heavy and so long that they were
forced to return. The "Original
Echo In the Alps.” In which the
yodle was glYen by Mrs. Otto
Fiechtl before the audience and the
echo by her daughter, Miss Anna
Fiechtl, from the wings, was a work
of art and beauty. Both singers have
voices of great range, Mrs. Fiechtl
singing deep contralto and Miss
Fiechtl reaching high notes, with
voice as clear and sweet as that of
a singing bird. Despite the poor
acoustics of the hall, Mrs. Fiechtl's
yodling sounded in beautiful tones
while the notes of the’ echo, under
perfect control by Miss Fiechtl. held
the audience in a spell of complete [
silence and anticipation as they
flonted now softly, growing in cres
cendo and dying away, a truly per
feet Interpretation of an echo In the
mountains.
Numbers — Swiss
Mrs. Otto Kuester. also a oaugnier
of Mrs Fiechtl, gave a number of
splendid yodles but her art varies
somewhat from that of her mother
and sister and she delighted the au
dience with a clever little song, "I
Gotta de Rock,” which she sang in
Ttallan-Rngllsh direct.
Mr. Otto Kuester, while being the
comedian of the company and carry
ing out the announcements of the
numbers and telling stories In a cle
ver and witty style, is also a splendid
singer, possessing a deep and well
controlled bass volqe. He Bang the
bass solo "O’er the Billowy Sea" and
as an encore gave "Mother of Mine,"
which he followed by a yerse of his
own composition to the accompani
ment of the song. He was accom
panied on the piano by Mrs. Kuester.
Mr. Frank Weissflach is one of the
few artists who perform oil the zither,
Swiss musical Instrument. The art
Is rapidly dying out Mr. Kuestpr said
because of the difficulty of mastering
the instrumetnt in comparison to
the ease with which the guitar and
mandolin may be mastered, by the
voting people of 'Switzerland. Mr.
Weissflach not only plays the zither
as an artist but slab composes music,
one composition, “A Visit to a Zlther
maker’B Cabin,” which he gave.
Folk songs, which were preceded
by an explanation of their mpauing
by Mr. Kuester, were given by the
entire company and Mrs. Kuester.
on the mandolin, Mr. Welssach on the
zither and Miss Fjechtl on the gui
tar played a beautiful instrumental
selection, “Woodchoppcr’s March," In
trio.
The entertainers wore beautiful
costumes of their native land.
Evans Lectures
A new Internationalism rjn moa.
successfully be reached by a univer
sal contribution of every nation to
civilisation, which must gradually be
brought about by the beginning In
the home of the contribution of the
Individual to the community, of the
community to the state, of the state
to the nation and of the nation to the
world of nations. Is the belief of Mr.
James Evans, Icctfoer, who made an
address on the N»dw Internationalism
and the one way th which this may
be done with success fa by solving
the problems at home. When the 4ft
dtvldual contribution has been raised
to the greatest stage or develop
ment and when Ihe national contribu
tion has been raised to the highest
stage of development civilization will
know true Internationalism.
‘‘Nationalism Is the strongest and
most dominant force In the world,'
declared Mr. Evans. '‘It has over
come c-hr!stiantty» socialism and great
movements which comprise the work
1ng men over the entire world and
It is growing stronger all the time."
Reaction to the appaal of nationalism
by the Individual wa* illustrated by
the world war. This f«ree should be
used, Mr. Evans believes. in order to
bring about a new order of Interna
tionalism. There must be a trans
formation In each national ideal and
the recognition of the responsibility
of each nation to make contribution
to Internationalism.
“There is one thing Important and
one thing absolute, that if there be
a new Internationalism It must be one I
whose foundation Is based on Justice,
equity and freedom.’’ said Mr. Evans. |
Lauds Woodrow Wilson
Mr. Evans said Woodrow Wilson
grill go down In blatory as one who
has contributed to civilisation. De
spite Its changes he Is the Individual
who from an Ideal gave birth and
shape to the League of Nations. This
statement was greeted by considera
ble applause from members o! the
audience. He eipregsed the belief

'that the prevalent disappointment In
the League of Nations is perhaps be
i cause too much has been expected
of it before it h^s taken definite
shape.
Canada and the United States are
close in the unity of international
ism he believes. Other than slight
differences issues between the two
countries are not serious. The en
tire border land goes unwatched and
unprotected by either country while
each strenuously strives to realize
the ideal of spiritual unity of inter
nationalism.
Mr. Evans touched on the menace
of the Japanese and said that with
the problem of the apparent growing
racial consciousness the solidity of
the whole English speaking world
may bo forced as a means of pre
servation. He said he had no fear
however that the Japanese can over
come the English speaking world.
The next Important act in the
history of the world will be unfolded
on the continent of North America,
Mr. Evans believes. And the nations
of the continent will be prepared
by national service and contribution.
Mr. Evans had not expected to
| give a lecture but after delivering a
sermon In the Presbyterian Church
Sunday morning he was prevailed on
by members of the congregation to
speak before a Chautauqua audience.
