FROM POVERTY TO
'BIG WEALTH IN FILM
•Herbert Rawlinson, who stars ia
“The iMillionaire," a Universal Spe
clal Attraction, now at the Palae
Theater, puts the rich man’s duty
in a fa.r different light than it ous
tomarily takes. Being nei ther a poor
man nor an extremely rich one, his
opinion has the complexion cf good
metal.
Jn Hulbert Footner's story, scenar
Ized by Wallace Clifton and direct el
•by Jack Conway, Mr. Rawlin'son hai
the part of a young fellow who is
apparently worth just $12 a week to
•the world when suddenly the death
of a miserly old man who had once
loved the young clerk's mother brings
$80,000,000 in place of the $12 per.
“I like th'e story immensely,” was
RawKnson's (first exclamation wher
given the script of his new play, “be
jit.iitiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
couse it brings into clear relief the
difference 'between two days of treat
ing a fortune."
The young man sets about ridding
the world of a gang of crooks who
had murdered the old man. not both
erfng his head about charity, foolish
schemes or sensational pleasure. In
contrast, 'the old man's life had been
spqfxt in unceasing attention to
money alone, with 'thoughts of real
I human usefulness wholly excluded.
The old man’s life had been one ex
trome—the young fellow's is not the
Cither extreme, but the happy medium
j where sanity rules
ZASU PITTS AT
COLISEUM TOMORROW
Zasu Pitts, -who is opening Satur
day matinee at the Coliseum Theater
in “Seeing ft Through." cottars with
a large and diversified cast. Oppo
site her, playing Jim Curringtorj, is
Henry Woodward.
Edwin Stevens is 'the “heavy,” play
ing Ichabod Bogrum, an unprincipled
money-lender. Fannie Mrdgley is the
‘'mother” of the picture, and other
iparts are taken by Hughie Mack, W.
H Bainbridge, Anna Hernandez and
Julanne - Johnson.
Claude H. Mitchell both directed
and wrote “Seeing It Through." In
the picture he gave Miss Zasu Pitts
one of her most appealing roles, that
of a girl who smiles through nvis-:
fortunes enough to cause a less op !
timistic soUl 'to drop out of the race.j
I TOM MIX COMING
TO PALACE SUNDAY
Tom Mix, the Fox star, is coming:
[to the Palaioe Theater next Sunday I
in “Trailin',” based on a story by,
I th's celebrated Max Brand. It is a
story of twisted an'i tangled lives,
! filled with speedy action. The star
| role represents a distinct departure
for >Mix, inasmuch as he does not
figure ais a cowboy—although asso
1 dated with ranch life and doing
some daredevil stunts in pursuit of!
I vengeance in the West.

SPLENDID COMIC
OPERA IS GIVEN
BYLOCALTALENT
Juneau’s Favorite Singers^
Appear in Big Production j
at Coliseum Theatre.
Some truly excellent singing, both
solo an<l ensemble, gave distinction)
to -last night s performance o' the
musical comedy, “in the Garden of
[he Shah," at ill" Coliseum I neuter,
put on under the auspices of John
Mford Bradford rest No. 4, Vnieri-j
:an Beg ion. ^
Not only did the principals give
in animated and vocally beautiful in-;
terpretatioa of their roles, but the’
cast as a whole attained a high
plane, proving beyond question that
the Juneau public is receiving the:
best entertainment by local talent it
has ever known,
Misis Irene Nelson, Juneau's fa
vorite soprano, playing 'the leading
part, has never sung a more pre
tentious role, while William Fry, tak-;
Ing the leading part of the men, was
splendid in his portrayal of his role
in both his acting and vocal work,
rhelr solos and duets were high;
lights of professionalism and both
•(V'pIvaiI Woll nutrittul f»nir*r\ri>a An

innovation was sprung and both gavel
mrmony In two songs without the aid
)f the orchestra.
The Juneau public received a de-j
ightful surprise and valuable find
n the rich contralto voice of Miss'
L,egia Kashevaroff, who played the
ngenue role. J. B. Bernhofer.
Maying opposite Miss Kashevaroff,
put over a good line of comedy and
lave a fine vocal "interpretation of;
lis role. Both hail duels* well ren-.
lered.
Good Character Role
One of tho hits of the evening
'or tho interpretation of her rale,
llrs Alaska Y. Kleinschmidt has the
irt of a professional player in her
icting and proved that she is a dls
inguiahod interpretative musician in
ter vocaJ work and especially In
leer lullaby scene when she sings as
iho plays the vlclln.
Wilfred Leivers, in a negro chaT-j
tcter role, was good In comedy work
ind threw out every comedy line;
or a laugh comeback from the audi
mce. His patter tong went big a*
lid the duet with Mrs. Kleinschmidt.
Grover P. Davis and W. G Culver,
playing the character roles of the
ihah and the Sheik, carried off dif-j
'icult parts with ease and artistry.
Hr Culver Is a vocal artist and his!
solo, "I Am King of My Desert j
rhrone,” received the big applause
n the performance. He has been:
leard in solo work before in Juneau:
put last might he established himself
us a real artist.
A chorus of pretty and talented
;:rls in gay costumes of varied hues
umid their garden setting of beauti
'ul shrubs, ferns and flowers, and
soft silken cushions, gave the final
touch of beauty to the scene elf the
garden, which was perfect in its de
tail of arrangement of detail and
ttolor. The girls were clever in the;
portrayal ci their roles, carry Ihg on ;
a. line of action throughout the play,
and were good in their dancing and j
singing, showing artistic talent.
Tho chorus girls were Miss Lillian
Collins, Miss Katherine Slokels, Miss
Dorothy Haley, Mrs. Nina Ford. Mrs.
Horace Adams and Miss Dorothy Ol
son. Perhaps there has never been
seen a more delightful sextette in
Juneau.
Men Are Good
The men of the chorus took their
parts showing splendid work in sing;
ing and action and lent the proper
dignity to the various scenps. Not
al! of the men in the chorus appeared
before the footlights, several giving
their services and singing behind the
scenes to help out in the numbers.
The men of tho chorus are Harry J.
Fisher. George Osweill, Homer G
Nordllng, J. Saifla* W. J. Bsacn, L<e8iie
White and E. J. Dyer.
Specialties Fine
The “little additions,”. as the spe
cialties are called on the program,
went ever big. Uttle Jacquelln
gins gave a - very . pretty dance as
pairt of the solo iby William Ery, “My
Persian Roae.” The dance was an
original creation of Miss Dorothy
Stearns.
'•Children of the Snow,” by Renee
Guerin, Helen Kleinschmidt, Betty
Bairragar and Jacquelln Higgins, was
another distinct specialty feature. The
little girls were dressed appropriate
ly and sparkling snow flakes ac
centuated the act. The girls showed
pep and vivaciousness. Miss Stearns
also originated this featuro cleverly.
Helen. Kleinschmidt and Buddy
Martin (Vance) sang very prettily a
little love song, “A Nest That 1 ve
Built for You," and they also made
a hit with the audience.
Russian Cossack Dance
William Bigoff, assisted by Mike
Koboff, brought down the house
by his Russian Cossack dance. Both
men arc “bull-dosers” at the Alaska
Juneau mine, this explanation being
made from the stage, Bigoff also ex
plaining that perhaps he was a little
out of practice- This act went
across in an uproarious manner and
received a great encore which was
given. Bigoff was a former member
of the Russian ballet ’nr.d he showed
he had lost known of his dancing art.
Every member of the cast and
chorus as well as .many others de
serve praiso for their wa£k. The
cast and chorus members took in
dividual interest in the performance
something that perhaps has nevni
[before been done In Juneau.
1 a. Bartlett, as spoclal decorator
having the complete surrounding of
the Juneau florist sho<p and green
house at Ills disposal -by courtesy of
Mr. Anderson. Bartlett furnished a
floral display perhaps never equalled
here. From the entrance to the the
ater the lobby was a mass of flow
ers and plants. Tho slta-ge was as
pretty as could be seen anywhere,
ferns potted, plants and shrubbery
being used in the design.
Mrs. Howe Vance deserves the
c rod it for the musical rendition as
s/he has been untiring in working
with the chorus and principals and
then taking her place at the piano
in the pit wiith the orchestra to con
tinue Ivor excellent assistance.
Mrs. Charles Westlake designeJ
and made the costumes, which were
pronounced tho best over seen on
principalis or chorus beforo tho Ju
neau footlights.
Claude Helgesen as stage man
ager and Homer Nordling as elec
trician also/worked like professionals
In their different -ways of manage
ment. “Paul.” tho “lamp-house” man,
was especially active in his lighting
effects and being on the jom. Elmer
Friend was director.
-As advertised, "The Garden of the
Shah" contains 26 big song hits and
those who attended last night are
today trying to whistle or hum as
many as they can remember.
“The Garden of the -Shah" is on for
tho last time tonight and being a dis
tlnct novelty in a musical setting
wt(l undoubtedly bo played to as
largo an audience as last night.

Members Committes of House
Invited on Cambrai Says
Ball—Discusses Fisheries
A geniTai invitation has been is
sued all members of the Merchant
Marine and Fisheries Committee of
the House, to make the trip to Alaska
on the U- !S. S. Cambria, which is
scheduled to sail from Seattle May
31. This is uncording to a statement
made by E. M Bail, assistant super
tnitendent in Alaska for the U. S.
Bureau of Fisheries, who returned to
his headquarters here this week afte-r
spending sometime in Washington on
official business.
So far only two members have sig
nlfled theiT intentions to make the
trip. They are Congressman Benja
men L. Ttosenbloom of West Virginia
and Congressman ArthuT M. Free ot
California. Others would make the
trip if it could be postponed until
the middle of July, Mr. Ball said.
Dr. Gilbert on Ship
Dr. Gilbert will also sail on the
Cambria and will leave the ship at
Seward, from where he will go to
the False Pass district on a trip of
inspection in connection with the
fisheries reserves. Commissioner
O’Malley considers it advisable that
I>r. Gilbert make the trip from Se
attle to Seward on the Cambria In
order that the Congressmen may be
dome acquainted with correct and
full information on the fisheries, Mr
Ball said.
Dr. C. H. Gilbert i3 fisheries ex
petrt at Stanford University.
The Cambria will come north t(
Ohilkoot Barracks, being scheduler
to arrive fhere June 4 and will ther
sail Westward to Seward, returnint
to Seattle June 16. The Cambrii
will have troops aboard for vurtou
army ‘posts in Alaska. The ached
nlo as given now does not call foi
the shLp putting in at Juneau. An}
changes in the schedule will be ad
vised by Commissioner O'Malley, Mr
Ball said.
Members of the committees or
Military Affairs of both the Hous<
and Senate will also be aboard th<
ship.
The Cambria will bo boarded bj
the party of lawmakers ait San Kran
cisco. At that port tt will bo met b:
tbie transport Grant. This ship 1
bringing a party of Senators and Rep
resentatives from New York City, t
visit Alaska and Hawaii.
Discusses Fisheries
Discussing fisheries in Alaska, Mi
Ball said he does not believe a re
'serve will be put in effect in South
eastern Alaska this year for the res
son that it is thought advisable ti
wait and study the success of the re
serve system in the Westward dis
tri'ct. The experience of the piesen
system will be used to determine tb
work in Southeastern Alaska, If it i
really advisable, to establish a rf
serve system in this district, he said
Mr. Ball said that when he wa
; in Washington It was the thought c
‘Commissioner O’Malley that the slti
I alien be studied for this district thl
I year and that a hearing be held 1
the fall for discussion on the ar
| visability of putting the reserve syi
j tern in effect next year
Recommends Reserve
Mr. Ball said he recommended tha
the reserve systorp be put in effot
in Southeastern Alaska this year, In
mediately after the report of th
Federal grand jury <at Ketchikan, i
which a reserve was recommended.
“I recommended that action b
taken this year because by havin
a .reserve we can establish close
seasons of 20 days, 1« different pari
of Southeastern Alaska, and ther
by have gained somfe conservation c
tbe fisheries, which is Impossih
under the present law and regul

Mr. Ball said be would have tl

Ball. “And any measuro which pro j

Flexible Regulations
For the Iftrst year Mr. Ball believes
it would be well to establish the
closed period after the height of the
fishing season, as fit works too much;
interference with the industry right
In the middle of the season. Or it I
may be found that it would be bet
ter to put it tn effect at the be-,
ginning of dlie season, he said.
“It can be it hr on gh experiment, only j
that nex’e.'isary adjustments be made'
to provide for the escapement of
salmon," said Mr. Hall.
It would al»o be necessary, he said,
that regulations governing the closed 1
period be flexible on account of the
irregularity In the time of the sal-:
