HOOT GIBSON AT
PALACE TONIGHT
Laughs are in order for those who
See “Headin' West," the Universal
photoplay of the new West in which
Hoot Gibson itr’kthrred at the Palace
Starting tonight.
The star's broad grin and his
nerve are put to good use in the ac
tion of a breezy story written by Wil
liam Craft. From the beginning the
familiar Gibson smile is called for
by one situation after another, and
the only better smile is the audi
ence's when the humor strikes home.
Entering the slpry from the top—
Via airplane and parachute—the hero’s
first adventure in trying to ride a
bucking bronco on which a saddle
has been strapped over a thorn wijp
great care. From then on the split
Is fifty-fifty between humor and
thrills.
"SINS OF THE WORLD”
COLISEUM TONIGHT
What is Sin?
Sin—n, wilful transgression of the
Divine law; negleet of the laws or
morality and religion; violation of
propriety; transgression; iniquity.
That's Webster's deanition. It Is
evident, therefore, that "Sins of the
Worjd” had a wide field to cover.
But what becomes of Sin when
Virtue succeeds. Is there really any
truth In Sin? /
“Sins of the World" is the attrac
tion at the Coliseum tonight and to
morrow. The cast is headed by Ed
ward Coxen and Loy* del Kay and
In the support is the dainty little
flapper Vivian Rich.
BABE RUTH COMING
TO PALACE THEATRE
Babe Ruth in “Headin' Home" is
coming to the Palace. You have
read of him making his 28th home
run. Now you can see him make
his first one and see what resulted
from it. It is in six acts, plenty of
fouls, base stealing and comedy to
suit all.
•THE SEA WOLF” IS
COMING -T& CQLISEMW,
A timely prologue precedes the
malh action in the George Meltord
Production of “The Sen Wolf,” which
is coming to the Coliseum Theatre
next Thursday and makes what fol
lows more striking unci impressive.
The prologue represents the Mull of
Nations, where the nations of the
eartli are all striving to gain the
ear of the world, a harassed little man
in tlie centre. A group of urchins,
I representing the nations horn out of
j the great war, engage in a violent
| quarrel. The spirit of violence or
I mob rule is effectively illustrated
land the question is frankly put, “Will
violence ever cute the woes of the
, world?"
This is a close-up with Jack Lou
! don's thrilling story. Noah Beery
I graphically portrays the role oi
! “Wolf," and the rest of the cast Is of
high merit.

NEW YORK COLORSCOPES!
By MARY MARGARET McBRIDE ‘ |
Im Margaret Mclrifc
New York City.—A deer that he
fried whole in an ordinary saucepan,
earthworms that
came out of their
holes and whistled
tunefully in two
keys, fish that
climbed trees and
monkey* that were
trained to wake
sleepers in time for
breakfast — these
are a few of the
lively curiosities
that handsome Car
veth Wells, English
explorer, encounter
ed in his recent
wanderings through Malaysian jun
gles. Furthermore, leading scientists
declare he’s r't nature faking and
vouch for the strange creatures he
describes. Mr. Wells is in New York
now and insists subways and sky
scrapers are quite soothing after the
monkeys, et al. He says crocodiles
are his favorite animals. Also, that
there is a peculiar affinity between
crocodiles and the natives of Ma
laysia. T j crocodiles like to eat the
natives and the natives who escape
this fate kill the crocodile for the
sake of certain indigestible bangles
and bracelets which lie in the beast’s
stomach after the victim is digested.
Crocodiles are said to swallow a stone
after each native, perhaps to keep
count of their calories!
Since Volstead became a household
woid, an era of substitution has set
in. People try to put a kick in every
thing to make up for the one kick
that, technically speaking, at least,
seems to be gone forever. And so has
arrived the “intoxi
cating song.” Stu
'{£**• dents of humanity
profess to have dis
covered that songs
like “Don’t We
Carry On” tempoed
to the nth degree of
jazzification produce a stimulation
that the old time cocktail never
equaled, or at any rate excelled.
Along Tin Pan Alley they say the
tague for the new peptant is just
starting.
New York kids have a new game
imported, too, and English and every
thing. But swanky as it is, it’s most
popular over on the unswanky East
Side, where there are plenty of kids
and . beards, both essential for the
playing. The game is called “Beaver”
and revolves around men with whis
kers. When one is discovered the
ambushed players run out and sur
round him, yelling "Beaver," also
giggling. The man nearly always
gets mad, especially if he has a red
beard, which makes him a King
Beaver and doubly valuable. It is
predicted that an irate Beaver some
day, like the prophet of old, will sum
mon a select group of hungry Jiears
,to devour his tormenters.
Copyright, 1MJ. t, it
In this dance-mad city where on*
endurance m a rath op ends only so that
another can begin, a now kind oi
plutocrat has sprung up between
jazzes, as it were. Ihis is the im
maculately-garbed, suave-mannered
orchestra leader, the aame who in s
less excitable era was neither so im
maculate nor so suave, knowing as ho
did then, more of the downs than the
ups of life. Now as Prime Ministet
to King Jazz, he swings nonchalantly
through the rich doort
of the Ritz for hie
costly luncheon, and
after he has languidly
consumed caviare and
lobster, drifts in u
Rolls-Royce back to a
palatial office suite. For he, be it
known, has incorporated jazz. As
for instance, blond, good-looking
Frank Silver, whose name on an or
chestra is like sterling on a spoon and
whose baton calls forth the shimmiest
shimmy strains in the city. So loud
has been the call for Silver-brand
music, that the popular director has
twenty orchestras in various parts of
the country playing Silver orchestra
tions ox the latest hits.
*01d-fashioned Manhattan beaux
carried courting canes. These were
hollow, with a |peaking tube at. one
end and a listening knob at the otner.
Girls were well chaperoned 'hen
and the courting canes furnished
whispering galleries for surreptitious
communication. Modern couples have
revived the old custom, but at each
end of the latter day cane there’s a
stopper, and the middle—well, the
middle’s only hollow when the court
ing couple’s favorite bootlegger is a
week-end guest of the Volstead en
forcement agents.
Spring has come to Fifth Avenue.
The habitues know it by many signs,
but first of all, by the out-door potters
i.e., bus-riders in couples who have
liad their annual turn to thoughts of
love. Then there are the hummers,
generally in onesomes, sometimes a
girl, oftener a man. These stroll along
in the sunlight, gaze wistfully into the
flower shops, think of home and chant
mournfully Broadway's favorite baek
to-the-farm
songs—
"Swinging Down the
Lane” and "Saw
Mffl River Road.”
Further up the ave
nue, spring brings
ogt incongruous
in gorgeous homes—
Mini
Window boxes
window boxes just like mother has in
Paris, Missouri, filled with scrubby
geraniums, petunias and the like, but
tended by P butter or two .butlers.
Why the big houses have such homely
adornment it a mystery, unices tit*
butlers like to piny with them. Fox
everybody knows that petunias pad
geraniums are flowers that fear* to
be loved into grosfipf.

ASK THAT QUESTION, MR. MERCHANT
ARE YOU ALIVE?
Are you getting all the business you can? Are you among the advertisers in The Empire?
If not why not? Did you ever get anything without hustling for it? The Empire is hustling all of the
time. The Empire goes everywhere. Let us hustle for you. Better think it over and then GET ALIVE.
Now is the time to get before the public. Residents who have been away from Juneau for the summer
are returning. School is going to open soon. Better get busy and reach everybody. People are soon
coming in lor the winter months. Better get acquainted with them through the Empire, for they will be
