BILLY BURKE FOR
SUNDAY’S SHOW
Hilly Ilurke, one of the most
popular and accomplished act
resses on the American stage,
will make her debut in movies
tomorrow night at the Colise
um, in the Thos. H. Ince suc
cess, “Peggy". This is a Tri
angle play in seven acts, in
which the clever little actress
is given opportunity to dis
play her art to advantage. And
despite the fact that it is her
first appearance in “movies”,
she displays more vivacity
than the average actress and
is perfectly at home before the1
camera.
Peggy is a whirlwind from
America, who bursts into a lit
tle Scotch hamlet and sets
everything topsy-turvy. Her
uncle is a crabbed old man,
and the villagers are for the
most part a forlorn lot, not.
much inclined either to love
or to charity. Peggy is brim
ming over with both. She
wins the hearts of the children
quickly and gradually brings
about a great and wonderful
change in their elders. Of
course, there is a young chap
who falls in love with her—he
happens to bethe “Meenister”
and when she has made him
prove that his gospel contains
Christianitv as well as religion
she gives herself to him.
The usual feature prices
will prevail—fifty cents for
general admission and a quart
er extra for reserved seats.
The show will start at 8:30.
I) ANTE TON 1(11 IT
The management of the <'ol
isenm has announced another
one of those enjoyable social
dances, to be held at the the
ater tonight, immediately after
the picture show. The admis
sion charge will be #1 for men.
Ladies, as usual, will be ad
mitted free.
PRUNING FAVORITE
The depositors of the Ameri
can hunk of Alaska who met
at Fairbanks yesterday after
noon for the purpose of nam
ing a permanent receiver, vot
ed to retain A. Pruning in
that capacity. The names of
(Veil H. Ulegg and O. P. Gaus
tad were also mentioned, but
when the vote was taken,
Pruning was the unanimous
choice of those present. The
meeting represented $17,000
less than the required fifty
per cent of the deposits, hut
the depositors appear so over
whelmingly in favor of the
former cashier that he doubt
less will be named by the
court.
