STERLING SUPPORT FOR POST
IN “THE MASQUERADER”
Since the days when he was leading j
man at the New Theatre In New
York, the casts which have supported

bered for his work on the stage and
acreen plays, assumes the role of
Fraide, Eve's father. Lawson Butt

bound” fame, will be seen as Mr.
Bakeley, a newspaper publisher.

FANNIE HUR8T FEATURE
AT COLISEUM THEATRE
Proving Itself delightful entertain
ments, “Just Around the Corner,” a
new Paramount-Cosmopolitan picture
production, based on a story by
aFnnle Hurst, famous author of “Hu
moresque,” was received with genu
ine applause at the Coliseum Theatre
last night. The story has appeal and
there are several tense dramatic
moments. The principal characters
are played with consummate artistry
by Margaret Seddon, Lewis Sargent,
Sigrid Holmquist and Fred C. Thom
son. The production is in every
respect admirable and adequate.
This feature is on for the last time
tonight. Only one show starttug at
8 o'clock.
COMEDY-DRAMA
AT PALACE 8UNDAY
A rollicking comedy-drama, a plc
turlzatipn of^a story by Peter B.
Kynt^&U&raxCfii the Cosmopolitan
Magazine, is the photoplay which
comes to the Palace Theatre on
Sunday matinee for two days. It lsj
"Brothers Under the Skin," another
of Goldwyn's “Big Twenty”; and
Judging from advance reports will be
on an equally high plane with the
productions that have preceded it.
The domestic misadventures of!
two young married couples and the j
husbands' similar solution of their!
problems furnishes the plot of "the
story. One couple lives in a Bronx
flat, the other in a Riverside Drlvo!
apartment. Both husbands are em
ployed by the same firm, in capacities!
as widely different as their salaries I
—one a manager, the other a humble!
shipping clerk. But each encounters j
the same situation at liqme—a sweet, I
lovable wife, whose chief talent seems
to be spending her husband’s salary—
and more.
E. Mason Hopper directed the pic
ture, which Is said to be one of the
best things he has done. And Hop
per, it may be remembered, was re-1
sponsible for ‘Dangerous Curve
Ahead,” which was a masterpiece of
directorial skill!
“Brothers Under the Skin” has no
one star; it Is all stars. Consider
these names: Helene Chadwick,
Claire Windsor, Mae Busch, Norman
Kerry and Pat O'Malley. Surely a
I cast to be regarded with respect.
As the shipping clerk's wife Heleue
[ Chadwick is said to duplicate the suc
cess she achieved in "Curve Ahead”
and other big Goldyn productions.
Claire Windsor, who was leading
woman in "Grand Larceny,” and who
will be seen in Marshall Neilan's next
production, “The Strangers' Ban
quet," is the other wife. Pat O'Mai
I ley Is seen as the shipping clerk and
| Norman Kerry as the manager.
BESSIE BARRISCALE
AT COLISEUM TOMORROW
For the matinee tomorrow and also
the program tomorrow night, Bessie
Barriscale in “Kitty Kelly, M. D.,”
will be featured at the Coliseum
Theatre. There will be a fable and

'NEW AUTOMATIC PURSE !
SEINER IS PERFECTED;
That the Running automatic purse,
seiner, conceived some two years ago
by Tom Running, of this city, has been
perfected and is ready to place on
the market, was the statement made
today by the inventor and members
of the Automatic Purse Seine Com
pany which bus financed Running’s
experiments and the manufacture
of the first seines.
Mr. Running arrived here early
this week from Seattle where lie
has been working out his models for
the past 18 months. He brought with
him one model for demonstration pur
poses. It is built for the larger
seine boats, CO to 65 feet In length.
The seines, he said, will be manu
factured to tit any size boat
The invention is designed to ^lot
only muke easier the seifiiug opera
tions but to reduce the number of
men required thus reducing the total
cost. It Is claimed to cut the crew
down to two men and capable of
quicker operation with less wear and
tear on the seines. A local demon
stration will be given as soon as a
suitable vessel for it can be secured.
Mr. Running is president of the
company, Dave House!, viee-pre.si
dent and Henry Roden, secretary
treasurer. J. M. Tanner, of Skagway.
jsi one of the large stockholders and
a number of other local people are
also interested.
The inventor is confident of the
success of the seine. In the manu
facture of the models, he said, every
'kind of test had been used ami Its
! practlbilfty thoroughly proven. “With
in a very short time, every purse,
seince boat of any size will be equip-1
ped with our automatic seiner," he
declared.

GASOLINE DROPS
ONE CENT HERE
Announcement Made by Rep
resentative Helps- Reasons i
for Price Changes.
__ " ' i
A tm thpr drop in the price of gaso- ]
line of oue cent was' announced to
day by J. D. Helps. Standard Oil !
representative. The price to gas-1
boats Is now 16Va cents a gallon. I
In the last mail from the states.1
Mr. Helps received the following in
formation regarding "when the price
of “gas' goes down or up:
“When the price of gas' goes down,
or up. you wonder why. Every now
and then you have observed a change
in the price of gasoline. It has gone
down, or up. For the last three
years the changes—there have been
six of them during this period—I
have all been downward. No doubt I
you wonder why the change, especial-1
ly If the price goes up. One day a
gallon of 'gas' costs a certain num
ber of cents—the next day it isi
more, or less. Naturally you wonder j
why. - .
"Perhaps you think that the Pres- i
Ident of the Standard Oil Company:
simply says to his Board of Direc
tors:
“ Well let's raise the price of
gasoline this morning.'
"Not so. No man, nor group of
men, no company, nor group of com
panies. can ‘control’ the price of gaso
line, nor of any other commodity in
general use. This is what makes thei
price of ‘gas’ go up and down: when |
there is a plentiful supply of gaso
line, tile price of gasoline drops.!
When there Is an insufficient supply;
of gasoline, the price ascends. Tills !
is not theory. It Is fact. It Is his-]
tory, too, of gasoline and of every!
commodity iu the world us fur back ;
as history goes. It is economic law, 1
unbreakable, inescapable.
“The price of crude oil is the |
principal factor. The value of crude!
fluctuates, rises and fails, iu strict;
accord with the volume the earth;
yields, rejated, of course, to consump j
tion by the public. Thpre are other,
factors—the cost of producing and j
transporting oil, of manufacturing i
and of marketing—these also vary j
with world conditions, again obeying!
the immutable law of supply and ’
demand. Costs of materials, costs1
of labor, go up and down: since the.
Cireat War, mostly up, as all the!
world knows.
■ “Three years ago the Pacific Coast
underwent a painful experience, more;
painful to a harassed oil industry,
than to any one else. It is known as

high levels. I
“The scene changed. High prices i
were offered f ir crude. Everyone j

the less it’s worth. Prices of crude
dropped and ga.inline came h u in-1
