“ia SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1924 BUSTER KEATON WEARS DIVING SUIT IN FEATURE AT AMERICA “It was worse’n a Turkish bath in. Yuma on the Fourth of July,” says Buster Keaton, speaking of the diving suit he wore during the film- of bis latest Metro-Goldwyn “The Navigator,” which is being shown at the America theater and tomorrow. While making “The Navigator,” ter chartered the Buford; a 450- liner of (the Alaskan-Siberian igation company, and anchored off Catalina Island. « Buster and his two cameramen, liyron Houck and Higin Lessley, used a special underwater photo- sraphic apparatus, and took some marvelous submarine scenes in the Catalina sea gardens, Buster, while beneath the waves, led to crank up the screw of the giant steamship in flivver fashion, fought @ gigantic octopus and sev- comedy, eral sharks, to say nothing of dodg: ing Swordfish, riding on the back of a flying fish, and traveling on a surf board towed by a whale. Between times he tried to splice cable on the bottom of the Pacific, searched for pieces of tight in the rotting ribs of a sunken Spanish galeon (not gallon) shovéled 316 tons of coal a day into the six fur- haces of the Buford, and when he Wasn't working under water or be- low decks, he could be found tinker- ing with the monkey gaff, the cross Jackyard, or the spanker boom on the mizzenmast of the Buford. Donald Crisp, who formerly sailed six of the seven seas, directed Bus- ter’s newest comedy, while Joseph Mitchell, Jean Hnavez, and Clyde Bruckman furnished the scenario. Kathryn McGuiré is the heroine. “The Navigator” 18 presented by Joseph M. Schénc! ALAOKAN' NOW PLAYING RIALTO BOASTS BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND Green valleys crowded with for- ests of pine, mountain ranges whose peaks are eternally white with snow, colossal glaciers and swift rushing rivets—against this pleturesque and seenieally beautiful background, “The Alaskan,” Herbert Brenon’s production of Willis Gold- beck’s adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's powerful romance of the northwest, unfolds its dramatic story of Alaska—America’s last frontier. The local premiere of this Paramount picture took place last night at the Rialto theater. Thomas Meighan is “The Alask- an,” As “Alan Holt” the hero, Meighan has a role which is ideal As you watch the unreel- “Ser him va > fg of this screen play, you under- stand why America’s favorite male star holds such an eminent position in the hearts of millions of film fans, His performance is one of the out- standing features of this remarkablé photo-play because he has taken the role and made it his own. : “The Alaskan” is a story of the battles of pioneers in a savage land with stubborn nature and it melts into the story of a battle which the second generation fights with fina: POPULAR TALE OF CHAMBERS IN NEW FILM ‘Between Friends,” which will be own at the America theater starting Tuesday with Lou Tellegen, orman Kerry, Alice Calhoun and Anna Q. Nilsson in the principal roles, comes from the pen of Robert W. Chambers, who is one of Amer- ica’s most admired and_ prolific writers of fiction and has contributed mush to its literary standing in all its phases—novels, Short stories and the screen, In “Between Friends,” Mr. Cham- bers has written a story of unusual interest in which suspense rules to the final scene. His leading charac: ter, played by Lou ellegen, turned bitter against all women through the unfaithfulness of one, is made by Chambers to find his revenge plan too terrible.to carry to a conclusion, and the means of accomplishing this furnishes a theme such as might be expected of one so versatile as Chambers.

This second generation, the men of today, are the true Alaskans, From start to finish the picture is crowdetl with exciting action, thrill. ing incidents and provoking mys: tery. Right from the opening of the Tilm when there flashes before your eyes a sweeping picture of the gold- tush scenes of the late nineties down to the final crashing finish that shows Meighan in a hand-to-hand struggle with his most hated enemy, the photoplay grips the interest like a vise. Estelle Taylor is seen as the mysterious girl who plays such a stirring part in Meighan’s for- tunes. Featured with Miss Taylor in Meighan’s support are John Sain- polis, Charles Ogi¢, Frank Campeay and Anna May Wong, all of whom offer able characterizations. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, “The Alaskan” is one of the great est out-door pictures of the year. Don’t miss it! Teacher Weds Youth, Board Ready to Act LONDON, Nov. 29.—(United Press.) —Young Dutch women of the future who desire to dedicate their lives “to training the young minds of their country how to shoot,” will be compelled to forego all connubial happiness and maritial bliss. Some time ago, according to a dis- patch from Amsterdam, the Dutch minister of edu¢ation ruled that all women school teachers who were married must leave their positions. Some women who wished to keep both their husbands and their sal- aries immediately obtained divorces —but continued to live with their ex-husbands as before. ww along comes the minister of education with another decree that all teachers who have’ taken such steps must also look for another job. a SLEZAK LOSES JOB. BERLIN, Nov, 29.—(United Press.) ~—Leo Slezak, one of Berlin’s. most noted singers, Is out of the Komische Oper. A contract, netting him the hand- some figure of $200 a night, has been thrown into the scrap heap and the management of the revue house is ready to fi tho whole affair out in the courts, The manager claims he provided for a 30-night engagement at the royal figure on the understanding that the public stood for high prices for seats. The public didn’t, says the management, hence Slezak’s con- tract is null and void. Slezak, on the other hand, opines that there has been a raw breach of contract, and opines that it is similar to breaches which have become, since the war, all too common here. The public doesn’t care much. It views Slezak as a fallen idol—good ‘once, but very sad now. Electric Supply & Construction Co. Anything in the Electrical Line SEE US. 142 E.

Many raids have been made on dives that have overstepped their licenses, and in most cases these places have been closed. There is no desire to rob the city pf its Kalety or to puritanize its famous night life, but the police are intent on a purifying process. A great many dissolute foreigners have concentrated here and opened places not in keeping with the char- acter of the city, and it is against these that the police are taking the most vigorous measures. Offending foreigners aré sent out of the coun: often fined and jailed first, and heavy penalties are being imposed on native assoclates, Many of these dives appeal to vis- itors who are tempted to “see Paris” The visitors usually get an un- wholesome eyeful and leave with & most unfortunate impression of Paris life. Paris is anxious to en tertain her visitors, but doesn’t want to disgust them, The campaign how underway is not of the Smedley Butler clean-up ¢haracter, but it is removing ial sores detri- “mental to the health of the city.

This cataclysmic upheayat of well regulated family life has been caused by the introduction of the cross-word puzzle which right now threatens to become the Esperanto of world-wide recreation. Bridge fiends, movie fans, golf hounds and representatives of contempor- aneous activities are complaining that this new sport has cut in on their support, With the cross- word puzzle incre & in popular ity daily, what the end will be is problematical. t Be Puritan officially, but certain cults with depraved notions are going to be Stumped out, if the police can do it!
