COLISEUM
The whole world is literally up
in the air over flying and the
fans eve sure to be pleased with
Bill Boyd in Patne all-talking
feature “The Flying Fool” com
ing to the Coliseum for Sunday
and Monday. This is not a
story of the war, altho the op
ening scene presents William
Boyd, American ace, in battle
with a German flyer. This is
the only scene in the play that
has a military tinge but Boyd
later lights his own brother in
an aeiial duel that thrills every
specta or. Of all fools, the
braves 1 is a flying fool and Bill
Boyd was the bravest of all. As
ordinal y men walk the earth
Bill Boyd walked the sky. And
as ordinary men make love on
firm giGund, he chose the struts
and wings of his plane as a
bower romantic. People called
him the Flying Fool—and he
was! A flying fool who played
with death and women, smiling
until fate hit him where he was
most susceptible—his love for
his younger brother. Unusually
clever supporting players appear
with te Star.

ENGINEER SAYS PETERS
BURG IS FORTUNATE
Charles T. Riach, engineer in
charge of installation of Master
Phone equipment in the new
Coliseum is very positive in his
commendation of the acoustic
properties of the Coliseum The
atre building.
Mr. Riach, who qualifies as
an expert on equipment and in
stallation, having had an ex
perience which enables him to
compare this building with
many other up-to-date installa
tions throughout the West, has
made the following signed state
ment which speaks fot itself:
Jan. 30, 1930,
Petersburg, Alaska
Dear Mr. Cawthon:
A statement from myself at
this time as to the equipment
and the house in which it is in
stalled, being my first real op
portunity of judging the sound
and reception rendered by the
MasterPhone Equipment in this
theatre, I v/ish to go on record
as saying the Theatre is of ideal
construction for production of
talking-music and after this ev
ening’s performance, with its
faults, am sure that this house
will rank first as to sound in
stallation that I have previously
installed throughout the West
ern District.
Having installed in your the-j
atre similar equipment and
knowing ycu to be what is call- j
ed a critic on speech and music
trust that you will note what a
difference there is in a house:
constructed such as the Colise-;
um here in Petersburg, I can,
find no fault in its acoustic re- j
sonance and with a little more
adjusting of equipment which j
I will finish this week, see no
reason why you will not have J
reproduction at its best with the
latest equipment obtainable at;
this time.
This installation is truly a
Masterphone. As to my past
experience with this equipment,
naving worked in the Engineer
ing Department at the factory
previous to its sale to exhibitors,
have noted its merits over other
equipment. And having install
:ed some thirty-six theatres in ]
j the Western District, think I am
able to judge Talking-equip
ment such as you have.
Knowing you will do here as
in the past, give your patrons
the best obtainable in pictures
and with that and your Master
Phone equipment, know you will
meet with success as you have in
the past.
Yours Truly,
Charles T. Riach,
Installation Engineer, Mas
terPhone Sound Corporation,
Seattle, Washington.
EIELSON PLANE FOUND
Pilots Crosson and Reid found
the wrecked plane of Pilot Ben
Eielson, east of Nojrth Cape last
week. The plane crashed with
such force to the ground that
it was a complete wreck and its
engine was thrown over 100 feet
. I
from its base.
Though men are searcing for
the bodies of Eielson an dhis
mechanic, Borland, there is not
much hope of finding them un-j
til after the snows melt off.
The 30-day supply of food on
the plane was untouched, indi-i
eating the pilots did. not have
time to take any supplies when
they left the plane, if they did. j
Capt. Reid states in his mes-j
sage to the press that one of the
big Fairchild planes was left at!
the .scene .to .house the men
who are searcing for the bodies.
PETERSBURG-KETCHIKAN HI
The much touted Ketchikan
High School basketball team!
met the local high school team
and walked away with the first
game but drank of the dregs of
defeat in the second game.
In the first game the locai!
team lacked pep and although
every member of the team play
ed hard could not seem to get
started. The score at the end|
of the game was 36-18.
Before the second game each |
team protested an opposing
player—Roy Peratrovitch for the
Kayhi team and Aubrey Sha
quanie for the Petersburg team.
The records showed Peratrovitch
to be over 21 years of age; on his
own statement Shaquanie was
21 but records presented by his
mother did not bear out his own:
statement. According to his
mother, Aubrey could not be 21
years of age. However both men
were kept out of the game.
Harris replaced Shaquanie at
center and Gordon captained
the team. Getting the ball from i
tipoff Petersburg shot three bas
kets in as many minutes. Kay
called for time to break the run
but Petersburg refused to stop.
At the end of the half the score
stood 18-3 with Kayhi on the
short end. The second half op
ened nip and tuck with the lo
cal team holding its own but the
visitors ran their score up to 22
with Petersburg a safe three
goals to the good.
The games were unnecessarily
rough. Enough personal fouls, j
deliberate hacking, tripping and
charging by Kayhi to have dis
cualified the entire team. Na
turally Petersburg retalliated.
The local boys left on the
Queen yesterday to play Kayhi
on their floor. A. B. Holt went
with the team as referee. Han
son officiated in the local games.
BIG PLANT WRECKED BY GAS
Four blasts, showering 25,000

in damage left in its wake.
THE DUTY OF PUBLIC
SERVICE
By Lord Roseberry
What can I do, in however |
small way to serve my country?!
I will tell you what I consider the
duty of every citizen. It is that!
you should keep a close eye onj
public and municipal aflairs;that
you should form intelligent
opinions upon them, that you
should give help to the men
whom you think worthy of op
position. Keep this motive of
public duty and public service
before you for the sake of your
country, and al*o on your own
account. You will find it the
most ennobling human motive
that can guide your actions.
And while you will help the
country by observing it, you will
also help yourselves. Life con
sists of only two certain facts,
the beginning and the end,—
the birth and the grave. Be
tween those two points lies the
whole area of human choice and
human opportunity. You may
embellish and consecrate it if
you will, or you may let it lie
stagnant and dead. But if you
choose the better part, I believe
that nothing will give your life
complexion as to do something
for your country.
