producer-director who has gone st-^ad
ily on from triumph to triumph, ‘’if

quet,” made at the Goldwyn st .’.die;
and released by that firm,, is de
dared by fellow producers, directors
by many famous stars and film re
viewers who have seen it privately
screened to surpass “The River's
End,” "Fool's First," “Penrod,” “Go
and Get It," or uny other of his pro
ductions. “The Strangers’ Banquet”
is coming to the Palace Theatre to
night for three days. It shows a
! new Neilan—a director who is seek
ing only big themes in his produc
j tions and developing them on a spec
; taeular scale.
Mr. Neilan purchased the screen '■
rights to this novel by Dunn Bryne
t; years ago, but held up production |'
!1 until he should have ample resourc-:1
: es at his call tor doing It the way 1
he believed it should be done. His
recent affiliation with Goldwyn Ple-j
tares Corporation gave him the un-;
| limited resources and studio faclli- 1
| ties of that big producing corpora-!1
, tion and the super-feature "The l
Strangers Banquet," is tho result.

AT PALACE SUNDAY
i There* hasn't been a moro timely j
motion picture produced this season'
! than “Bluebeard. Jr.” a modern film
; version of the high rent question in [
1 which is mingled some of the best
i farce enacted on the present day
I screen. The picture Is a wholesome
| story of everyday life and depicts
'| the humorous situations which de
I velop along with the unfortunate
! happenings, when landlords become
! dictators and kings.
“Bluebeard Jr.” is the first picture
i to depict farce on the screen. Th>
farce, however, develops in a most
natural way and the incidents aris
ing therefrom are thoso which c»t i
happen to any family. The theme is j
timely, the situations are extremely
funny and an expert cast o” farc
eurs interprets the story. The story
was written by Helen Van Upp and
adapted for the screen by John W.
Grey. It was directed by Scott
Dunlap. The picture features Mary
j Anderson, well known on the motion
] picture screen, and opens at the
i Palace Sunday matinee.

With the growth of population and the increasing demand for furs
throughout the world, the supply has steadliy diminished and prices
I'.ave correspondingly advanced.
The United States government, in a bulletin issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, says:
"The natural production of first-class furs seems to be approaching
i sure end, and the demand for them requires that the present supply
be supplemented through domestication of fur-bearing animals, just as
ive stock is raised today."
As an indication of the fur demand in this country, more than
579.000. 000 wQrth of raw and dressed furs were imported into the
United States in 1922.
The Government estimates that Americans spend in excess of
5100.000. 000 annually for fur garments.
Fur fanning in Alaska is still in its infancy, yet there are more
han 150 fox farms in the Territory, representing an investment of
ipproximately $1,500,000.
Domestication of the Silver Fox was begun on Prince Edward Island j
n 1885, and despite inexperience and other handicaps Silver Fox farm
ng proved highly profitable almost from the start.
According to the Income Tax Report for the Dominion of Canada,
fox ranches on Prince Edward Island valued at $6,000,000 returned to
[heir owners in the years 1919, 1920 and 1921 a net annual income
)f $2,500,000. This is an average profit of more than 40 per cent per
innum.
The Silver Fox pelt compares with other furs as does the diamond
vith other precious stones. As larger numbers are produced and inti- j
nate knowledge of their desirability becomes more general (through ob
servation and through advertising) desire and demand will increase and;
trices wall undoubtedly climb to a higher level than they are today.
As an indication of the soundness of this statement, note this very I
raportant point. THAT FOX BREEDERS ARE ALMOST UNANIMOUS!
[N THEIR HOPE FOR A RAPID EXPANSION OF FOX FARMING. If
:hcse long-experienced men saw any possibility of a decline in the j
ircfitablcness of the business through such expansion, it would be natural
or them to discourage rather than encourage it.
Pure bred Silver Foxes, registered stock of prize winning strains,
if cither the Standard or Alaskan stock, costs in the East from $1,500
;o $3,000 per pair.
Alaskan stock may be purchased in the Territory for $600 per
jair, and ten or more pair will be delivered to Juneau at that price.
This difference in prices is largely due to the many years of do-|
nestication of the Eastern-bred stock; more vigorous culling, selective|
breeding, building up and advertising. j
A vixen of the same strain as the foxes offered at the price of $600!
per pair holds the following records of increase: 1920, v30O per cent;’
1921, 250 per cent; 1922, 150 per cent; 1923, 300 per cent.
This vixen is owned by a Juneau resident. She and her mate cost;
their owner $1,400, and the 1923 increase from this one pair of Alaskan,
Silver Foxes were sold for $2,200 cash money before the eyes of the pups!
were yet open. This sum represents the xale of but five, pups, the sixth
member of the litter being accidently killed. The owner of this pair of
foxes realized a profit of more than 157 uer cent on this, his first year’s
is
increase.
The future of the Alaskan Blue Fox industry offers as great an i
opportunity tor enormous profits as docs the Silver Fox when the Blues -j
are more thoroughly domesticated through pen raising. At the present; i
time the domestication of the Blue Fox is in the e-xperimental stage.j;
Choice Blue Fox stock may be purchased for $300 per pair.
Under my co-operative plan I will ranch both Silvers and Blues. :j
It has been proven for more than 39 years that Silvers live a life of j
contentment in wire enclosures. lj
I am preparing to demonstrate that the Blue Fox can also be sue- j:
cessfully raised in captivity, and a better animal will result from suchli
domestication.
I have located a homestead on the Glacier Highway, ten miles from i
Juneau and within four miles from the Mendenhall Glacier.
This location is admirably suited to the business of fur fanning.
In my opinion there is no better location in all of Alaska, taking
everything into consideration, than this particular locality.
GLACIER FOX RANCH is a new company in process of organiza
tion in Juneau, by Juneau people, to he incorporated under the laws of i
the Territory, with a capitalization of $50,000, divided in shares of
$100 eqgh. '■
I am now taking subscriptions for stock preparatory to incorporating.
I am also taking subscriptions under a co-operative plan which
insures the investor all the benefits of this lucrative business without
his assuming any of the liability of a stock purchaser.
The plan is this^You may purchase one or more pair of foxes, either'
Silvers or Blues. Turn them over to the GLACIER FOX RANCH to be
cared for and fed scientifically by a man born and raised among the j
fox ranches of Prince Edward Island, with practical experience in the
business.
The owner will be supplied with a Certificate shewing that the
foxes are registered in hi* name; a ranch plan showing the pen occupied
by hit foxes, and an agreement in writing granting the owner the
privilege of visiting the ranch at any time during the open season
and inspecting bis foxes.
For the facilities provided and the services rendered the Corporation
will exact 50 per cent of the annual increase from your foxes.
You may remove your foxes at any time after the first increase,!
or we will ranch the increase together with the parent stock under the
same terms.
Now, are you afraid to open the door? Peek through
the key-hole then!! Watch out for the great Alaskan
fox circus!!
