Wickersham’s Speech Holds Interest of Crowd
for the benefit of the Territory.
That he will support President
Hoover up to the point where
anything be attempted to the
hurt of the Territory then he
would fight for the Territory as
hard as he ever fought.
In harbor improvement, he as
serted he would do all he could
to secure improvment of the lo
cal harbor along with others
needing it.

trol is going into the hands of
a monopoly owned by foreign
capital which was importing all
its labor, supplies and materials

From the point of right anc
justice, every white citizei
would demand compensation i]
treated in like manner. Pointec
to fact Rustgard’s home was ir
center of an Indian cemeterj

your dead,” he asserted, “yoi
would demand compensation.’
And as a matter of right and
justice, these people are entitled
to it.
He read Rustgard’s famous
Anchorage speech, 1927, eulogiz
ing Wickersham and brought out
many a wholesome laugh at the
beautifully wordedv picture oi
the Judge and left it to the com
pany to decide whether Rust
gard was right then and wrong
now or wrong all the time.
In closing, he spoke briefly oi
the men on the ticket with
which he was associated and
pointed to their record as mat
ters of principle to which is due
worthy recognition. Knight for

Treasurer, Cole for Auditor, Paul
Johnson, Sommer, Winn and

especially of Steel who is re

sition and urged that these men
all be returned for nomination.

THE GLAD RAG DOLL
It has been said that one nev
er failing theme for a story tell
er is the Cinderella theme of the
poor humble young person who
by virtue of goodness and humil
ity, becomes prosperous and suc
cessful, triumphing over the en
vy, greed or hat§ of the proud
and haughty. There is no doubt
of the literary and dramatic ef
fect of that theme. Fairly equal
ing it in the affections of the
public is that of the turning oi
the tables by anyone who is
down trodden, persecuted oi
wrongfully accused. To see the
tables turned in such a case al
ways has a thrill for theatre
audiences.
“The Glad Rag Doll” played bj
the beautiful Dolores Costello
the all-talking Warner Bros,
production comes to the Colise
um, Sunday and Monday, is £
delightful comedy-drama of £
love that grew out of hate. It i:
,the story of a vindictive actress
who- found revenge sweet, bin
love sweeter. Hearts are trumps
and the chic Dolores holds their
all.
RIVER OF ROMANCE
Plantation days on the ole
Mississippi during that pictur
esque period before the war
form the background of the
highly absorbing romance-dra
ma “Rivers of Romance” at the
Coliseum tonight.
The play is based on the fa
mous story “Magnolia” by Boot!
Tarkington. It brings us into s
i romantic period of American
history and to the foreground
l Charles “Buddy” Rogers whc
i scored tremenduously in ‘Wings.
! Rogers is the young Eastern
[ educated son of a Southern fam
i ily who returns to the paternal
r plantation only to be confront
ed with customs and codes of
i honor which he does not under
. stand. Because he refuses tc
' fight a duel with a villainous
i character he is branded as a
1 coward and becomes an outcast.
With the aid of good fortune, he
fights back and regains his pa
trimonial and his beloved one af
ter a series of hair-raising ad
ventures in the gambling halls
and river boats of that romantic
Mississippi River.
INTRIGUING “IRON MASK”
-x
D’Artagnan and the three
musketeers are riding once more.
Douglas Fairbanks is with us
once more as D’Artagnan in
“The Iron Mask” at the Mac
Gregor Theatre, tonight and
Saturday.
When D’Artagnan steps from a
huge tapestry and speaks the
prologue to “The Iron Mask” the
voice of Doug Fairbanks will be
heard, theatrically for the first
time in fifteen years.
Crashing thru windows amid
a shower of falling glas, dexter
ously wielding huge weapons
which would tax the strength of
a Hercules, scaling stone walls of
terrifying height and leaping
from dizzyingly high precipeces
are only a few of the many dar
ing feats performed by Douglas
Fairbanks. His superb physical
fitness and form in this second
story of the adventures of D’Ar
tagnan, makes the valiant mus
keteer an almost superhuman
fighting man.
COLMAN WILL BE HERE
Ronald Colman who was the
leading character in “Beau
’Geste” will be seen at The
| MacGregor in “Bulldog Drum
mond” Sunday and Monday.
The story of “Bulldog Drum
mond,” written by “Sapper,” is
familiar to thousands. It puts
its hero into a * fierce struggle
with a gang of criminals whose
methods are based on the fiend
ish torturing ability of a physi
cian who delights in inflicting
pain. The combination of these
sinister elements with the love
stmory of Drummond’s romance
with Phyllis, whose uncle has
fallen into the criminal's hands,
makes a thrilling story which is
said to bring audiences out of
their seats cheering.
CLUB SECURING DATA
A large attendance at the
Wednesday night meeting of the
Commercial Club made the

mental fur farm and the possib
1 ility of fur farmers obtaining

L 4. Causes of loss.
5. Area of land in use.
L. T. Swanson was appointed
as a" committee of one to pro
mote a town “clean-up” cam
L paign.
In opposition to the sugges
* tion that United States mails be
carried as freight instead of pay
ing the large increase awarded
. in the contracts, and in line
with other Clubs, the local or
, ganization is protesting to the
! Postmaster General against any
change fro mthe present system
i of carrying mail.
Discussing the local mail con
■ tracts which are to take effect
L very shortly, the local organi
i zation will ask that the Depart
ment arrange schedules out of
Ketchikan and Juneau so that
the mails will arrive here a day
earlier in the week.
