as wrong, while not attributed
to O’Malley, are actually errors
iof that man; the good points
i which you do attribute to him
(like the recognition of increas
ing depletion and the labors to
enact an adequate fishery law)
should be attributed to O’Mal
ley’s present critics as Delegate
Sutherlnad and ourselves. In ad
dition the one point which you
propose as containing the cor
rect plan of conservation is dia
metrically opposite to the plan
of O’Malley.
Has O’Malley pointed out any
thing “fundamentally wrong”
with your original idea? If ho
has not. then don’t you think he
should begin revising his entire
system of regulations? A logic
al development of your idea
would mean (1) the abolishment
of the closed season; (2) the a
bolishment of all closed areas;
(3) the abolishment of all regu
lations touching on gear. If no
“fish man” has been able to
point out anything fundamental
ly wrong with your proposal,
isn’t it time for O’Malley to do
something about it? If he has
even admitted to you that you
are on the right track, I will be
surprised.
. I believe that in your proposal
you are on the right track and
for proof suggest that the Cana
dians enacted that principle into
law long ago, and that the
ALASKA NATIVE BROTHER
HOOD incorporated it in their
resolutions and sent a copy to
the Secretary of Commerce in
1928.

ed could correct the situation in

have started correctly, but you
may not follow it up either be

THE GREAT DIVIDE
The First National screen ver
sion of “The Great Divide,” j
known as “The great American j
drama,” has been booked by the
Coliseum Theatre and will open'
with Dorothy Mackaill in the ]
featured role.
“The Great Divide,” as a play,
ran for many years and broke
box office records throughout
this country and Europe.
In the screen version, Miss i
Mackaill portrays an emancipat- j
ed, cock-tail-imbibing modern!
girl, the type of role in which she |
has had such success in her re
cent pictures. She has an op
portunity for splendid dramatic
work when she is kidnapped by

hates, and is brought out intoj
the silent desert of Arizona. The
Vitaphone talking scenes amid
this beautiful country are a fea- |
ture of the picture.
Ian Keith portrays the* role of
the Westerner, made famous by
Henry Miller on the stage.
The Mexican fiesta scenes are
especially colorful, showing a
group of forty dancing girls in
the rhythms of Spanish and
Mexican dances, the music being
heard through Vitaphone. !
“The Great Divide” was writ
ten by William Vaughn Moodj
and the all-dialogue production
brings to the screen the full;
force and power of this remark
able play.
In the cast are Lucien Little
field, Ben Hendricks, Myrna Loy,
Frank Tang, Creighton Hale,
George Fawcett, Jean Lafferty,
Claude Gillingwater and Roy
Stewart.
. .This all-out-door Western pic
ture will be shown at the Coli
seum beginning Sunday.

STORY OF RUSSIAN REVOLU
TION IS PICTURED
v -o
The longest railway from ter
minal to terminal is the trans-1
Siberian Railroad. It was con
structed during the regime of
the Czar of Russia and was her
alded as one of the greatest en
gineering feats of the age: It is
possible to go by train from Pa
ris to Shanghai, a distance of
8,000 miles. This railway is
shown in the scenes depicted in
Russia in the filming cf “The
Last Command.” The star of
this picture is Emil Jannings
who without a doubt is one of
the greatest character portray
ers in the film world. Many are
the incidents and scenes portray
ed of the Russian Revolution, re
inacted before the camera in a
Paramount film.
This picture was advertised
for show here several weeks ago
but unfortunatly a couple of rolls
of the film was miscaried by the
steamer Northwestern and only
after considerable corresponding
and tracing was it located and
returned here. However it is all
here now and the fans will have
the opportunity to see Russia as
it was during the early days of
the Revolution. J
