DOUBLE tfftL AT
COLISEUM TONIGHT
Lucy 'Doraine its at tho Coliseum
Theater tonight 'in "Mrs. Dines Con
fcseion." The ay nopals Is that i
murder' has Just boon com mitt vl in
a hotel; a man has been shot ar.d
killed 'by a young and beautiful wo
man. At first, she will not talk to
the 'police, but under tho third de
gree, she breaks down and let ^ a
tra'glc story of ‘betrayal.
She was Dorothy Robey, heiress
of the rich John Robey, and adored
t>y her fiance, William Fnrleigii.
Harry Dane, i young, good-loading
adventurer, determined to got pos
eesrion of the Robey fortune by con
quering the girl’3 affection.-. / The
pllOtter wa3 'always 'in Dorothy’s'com
pany and scon won her heart. But
her father had suspected him. and
turned him out of the house.
That night. Robey was murdered
In his home, and Jimmy Fox, one of
Dane's confederates, arrested leaving
the house. He admitted robbery,
but denied the ifcMMng, and was sent
to prison Then things ’more fast and
unexpectedly.
'Charlie Chaplin will also be shown
in ‘ISh'ouldor Arm*” as the comedy
feature. This comedy has ibeen seen
hero before and always proves a
pleading feature by itself.
This double bill is on tonight and
tomorrow.
DUAL ROLE BY
.DOUBLE EXPOSURE
Mary Pinkford does not believe
In 'having anylbodv "double" for her
at any time 'in any picture. She does
not Ibeltove It fair to her ,public. So
when she decided to play the dual
redos of ‘Uiitt'la Lard Fauntelroy”
and “Dearest” in this picture she
caBed on her photographer. Charles
Jf/osher, to do next to the Impossible.
The result Is that double camera
exposure is carried to a point of per
fection 'in thiis picture that never
j before has even 'been approached,
j In the dual role3 Miss Pickford is
j on the screen many, many times; as
“Dearest" she Is seen to kiss herself
as “Little Lord Fauntelroy,” and even
t'o embrace herself.
lAt the 'premier of this picture at
the Apollo Theater, in New York,
Miss Pickford for the first time let
the public dn on whalt heretofore has
been one of the closely jruarded
secrets of the film. She explained
that her dual role was made pos
sible through first photographing her
as “Little Lord Fauntelroy.” with
cue-half the film unasked. Then she
was photographed os “Dearest” with
the mask over that part of the film
I in which she appeared as the little
Lord.
This scorns simple enough, hut the
I difficult part came lin timing the
film to the last fraction of a second
In the rerun so that all physical ac
tion of Miss Pickford as the two
characters would join perfectly. Of,
course, thc-re was an equally ditfi-j
cult task iin the matter Of 'lighting!
effects, so tha t the lights in the two !
runs of the film would harmioniize to,
i the most iminute shading. And It is1
perfectly obvious, also, that Miss j
Pickford must ibe oven more of an!
adept ;^t pantomimic acting than is
necessary for ordinary film repro
duction, for iin. the two runs of the
film she had to enact the roles bo
■hat every movement, every gesture,
and even every facial expression
nra'ched to the finest degree.
Mary Pickford comes to the Palice
for three nights, beginning Thursday.

and Colonel Steoso Co tho platform
and Colonol Got wal-s Hook hds place
in tho rear of the colors and color
guard at the foot of tho aisle between
the members’ desks and leading to
•tho Speaker’s platform. He was
flanked by Commander John Ford
Starr, Commander of tho local Legion
post, and Georgia E. Mann, Post
Adjutant.
Preceded by a..u songs hv the
school glee club, Colonel Stoose, who
had been instructed by the jC-om
mandlng General of the .Vinth Corps
Area to see that tho medal was
bestotwed with proper and fitting
ceromonies, gave a short explanation
of the occasion.
He said:
"Wo are gathered hero today to
witness the recognition, by the
President, of tho Uni tod States, of
one of the outstanding figures of the
World War, Congress has authorized
the President to bestow a Distin
guished Service Medal upon persons
who dHstingwishcd thomsolves by ren
dering services of a spockilly meritor
ious and conspicuous nature in a po
sitiion 'of groat responsibility during
the war. Of the 205.000 officers who
served during the war, only about
800, or loss than one-half of one
per cent, have 'been awarded those
medals. Colonol Gotwals lias been
classed among this small number.
This miednl is awarded for his mili
tary services overseas, as his cita
tion hid lent os.
r i ui.: oi iiciim mui n
“It is especially appropriate that
there should ho so many young
ipeoplo 'here iin this audience und this
should be a day of Inspiration for
them. Colonel Gotwals has never
been blessed, or shall I nay cursed,
by any unusual or special advan
tages, but hns forced recognition hy,
his own efforts and hard work. Born
and raised in a modest home in a i
small towtt in Pennsylvania, he.
pas sod through the public schools;
without any other distinguishing
marks than a reputation for studious
habits and a willingness lo work. At!
Pennsylvania State Collogo, he won
a place cn the varsity team and par
ticipated In the usual college activl-1
tics. His willingness to work, how ;
ever, hore its first fruit in his win-1
ning of the ,T. G. White & Co. sohol-j
nrtjh.Jp for all around merit in hlsi
“twites and as 'a man among men.
“After completing his engineering1
coots©, he qpent seven years in his
chosen profession, mostly around
New York City on the Pennsylvania
Railroad tunnels and terminal and!
on the Now York .aqueduct, the two
ir.'ost notable engineering achieve-;
ments of the time. He was finally
placed in charge of the most difficult
section of the aqueduct.
Army Career Brilliant
“He then took a competitive exam- j
tnation for appointment as an officer j
tn tho Corps of Engineers of the
regular army. Of the many candi
dates that year he was the only one
who Was successful in securing an ap
pointment and was the first non-grad
uate Of West Point since the Civil
War to secure appointment in the
Corps of Btogin'eers. He has now
had 10 years' service in tho Corps
of Engineers.
“He went overseas early In 1917
with tho First Combat Engineers
and served in tho First Division dur
Ing tho early operations. He was j
then placed in charge of searchlights,
developed and organized the search
light service for the ontire American
Expeditionary Forces, and command
ed his regiment through all the of
fensive of 1918. serving successively
with tho British, French and Ameri
can armies. After the armistice, he
was engaged In road and reclamation
wortc In the advanced area, then
served urn the War Damages Section
of (he Pence Commission in Paris,
and 'wa» finally placed tin charge of
engineering activities at Bordeaux,
whore I hart the pleasure of visiting
him in the 'fall of 1919.
Superiors Praised Gotwals
"Hero is 'w-h-a't his cam man ding of
fleer, General \V (1. Langfttt, Chief
Engineer of th'o American Expedi
tionary Forces, has to say of his war
record:
“ 'His regiment performed excel
lent anti-aircraft service with the
French A ran- a round Amiens and
St. Pol, and nlso with the British.
Tho part taken In the St. Mlhiel
and Argon no operations deserve
highest praiise.
" 'This officer was placed in ex
elustva charge of all scarchliight
work and development in I he A. E.
F. and in conference with British
end French specialists, worked out
the plans under which searchlights
were (finally operated by all the
Allied powers.
“ ‘Confronted with a mode of
werfa-re which 'inhibited the de
velopment of ontlroly new methods
und equipment, he displayed a re
markable genius for Invention and
organization -and a faculty for co
operation which resulted in the
creation of an exceedingly ad
vanced technical service.
“ ‘it should bo emphasized that
the duties performed by this offi
cer required that he operate prac
tically independently, and exercise
a high degree of -intelligent initia
tive.'
"And by General H. Taylor, Chief
Engineer, 'S. O. 8.:
“ 'Duo to his technical ability, I
his unlimited energy and capacity
for 'hard work, and duo to his hard
common sense, he took a very
prominent part in tho development
of searchli'ghts and devices for de
-teietiin-g tho presence of aircraft.
" ‘Through his -personal efforts,
ho succeeded in enlisting tho co
operation of searchlight author 1
-'lies of both the Flrith'h qnd French
armies, cad eventually acquired
the knowledge of searchlights and
th-el-r technical employment Which
won him rocognllilon. of both these
Allies as an authority on the sub
ject.'
"Upon his return to the Status
late in 1910, Colonol Oatwals serve l
« few months as Department En
gineer 'in -Now York City, and was
hen detailed to duty in, Alaska with
the Alaska Road Commission. His
subsequent history is ifamliliar to you
all- I need not enlarge upon it more
than to havo you note that the same
hnibtU of hard work and study, the
same unlimited energy and hard com
mon »oa*o, Jiave accompanied him to
Alaska. His services .here havo re
cently (been recognized by his a.p
■point mont ?s vtao-Aalnman of tha
Alaska Engineering Commission
“His standing hero In Juneau is
weJl attested by tho fact that he has
been 'elected Vico Commander of the
local post of tho A merle an Legion.
It Is G:?roclally fitting, therefore, that
the American Legion should have a
part in this ceremony.”
Colonel Steese then read the pre
amble to the Constltutiiorn of the Le
gion. At this roquost Colonel Got
wals was then escorted to the roB
trum. being preceded by tho Colors
and th'o Color guard. As they ap
proached the platform. Colonel Stecse
turned to t’ho Governor and said:
“Governor Bono, it affords mo espe
cial ipleasaire to request you, the
name df tho President of tho United
States, to road this citation, and to
pin this mod 'll upon the 'breast of
Colonel Cotwals.”
Citation Read by Mann
A.* the roquost of the Governor
Adjutant M.ann read the citation
which follows:
"John C. Got wals, Major, then
Lieutenant Colonel, Corps of En
gineers, United States Army. For
exceptionally meritorious and dis
tinguished service*. As Ch.iof
Search light Officer, American Ex
pedaiflonary Forces, he rendered
conspicuous service In a position
of frro.it responsibility and in a
field 'which was .practically now
to ottr sorvtco. By this unlimited
energy, marked inventive faculties
and high technical skill, together
with his ever present willingness
to cooperate wifit our Allies, he
organized and directed with groat
success an exceedingly advanced
technical service for the night pro
tection of troop concentrations,
cotmmuratcatlons, supplies and manu
facture establishments in roar
areas, thoroby contributing mate
rially to the success of the Ameri
can Expeditionary Force*"
The Governor, after :he reading of
the citation, iprescnted the modal in
tho following words:
"Rcpresentiing in this Territory the
Fresilient, of the United States, (’ >m
munxlortin-chief of the army and
navy, I present to you, Major John
C. Got wails, this omblom of the coun
try's ap.procia'Uon of your services in
tho World Wair.
"The ossomblugo here today to
witness tills formal ceremony be
speaks Alaska’s appreciation of the
high honor worthily bestowed upon
you. It bespeaks love of country.
Alaska greets you. It greets you
proudly and patriotically. It greets
you as an Alaskan—an adopted Al
askan-—‘wiho. for four years since re
turning from the front, has rendered
conspicuous service to Alaska. It
groets you as an honored fellow citi
zen of this great Northland, and with
the fullest confidence that service
will continue to Inspire you and be
your watchword wherever duty culls."
ftapidly then tho ceremony was
brought to a close. Tho Governor
pinned tho medal on the breast of
Colonel Gotwalls, who retired from
the 'platform and took a -position far
ing it. As ihe glee club sang the
national anthem, Colonel Gotwals
came to salute and tho entire audi
ence rose. Rov. David Waggoner
dosed tho ceromoay with a boue
