opened sometime after the next
week. Equipment which shoulc
| have arrived last week is said tc
be due on the steamer today
from the south and installation
will be rushed to an early com -
pletion. However, Mr. Enge is
not inclined to make any posi
tive promises as to the exact
opening date for he feels that
most anything might happen to
screw the plans awry.
The opening picture will be
‘'Min and Bill” with Marie Dres
sier and Wallace Beery co-stars
in the play. This picture receiv
ed the favorable comment of
critics as being one of the out
standing pictures of last year
and a picture whose box office
xeceipts bespeak of the populari
ty of the stars and their vehicle
On other programs will be
‘•Cimarron,” “Trader H o r n.”
“Susan Lenox,” “Sidewalks of
New York,” “Caught Plastered,”
“Free Soul,” “Dirigible,” and

other Alaskan Theatres but nev
er in Petersburg. Other big pic

i “SKYLINE” TOPS
WEEK‘’S PICTURES
-x
Thrilling and entertaining
episodes go all the way toward
| winning favor for “Skyline,” the
Fox picture which will be shown
at the Coliseum theatre, Thurs
day and Friday.
The principal roles are por
trayed by Thomas Meighan,
Hardie Albright, Maureen O’Sul
livan, Myrna Loy and Donald
Dillaway a very surfeit of talent
with a supporting cast that in
cludes Stanley Fields, Jack Ken
nedy, Robert KTcWade and Alice
Ward.
“Skyline” tells of a friendless
boy who climbs from the city’s
depths to the lap of luxury by
sheer pluck, after he meets and!
falls in love with a beautiful girl
of the tenements.
Meighan enacts the role of a
dynamic builder of skyscrapers,
who, in the end, turns out to be
the boy’s father—the unknown
parent the youngster has hated
because he failed to marry thy
youth’s mother. He gives an in
spiring and convincing perform- ;
ance.
As the boy and girl, Albright
and Miss O’Sullivan do splendid!;
work, especially in their tender ;
love scenes. Myrna Loy and Dill- ;
away are very good, indeed.
The photography is little short ;
of marvelous. New effects of ;
sight and sound blend the scenes ;
of the picture into living beauty.
