The story is a moving one. It moves—others and itself. The theme is the high-stepping bug which has been biting modern smart-set families. As worked out in the film, the representative family used for an example is driven almost to the verge of de- struction until the strength of mind of two of the younger peo- ple avert the disaster. Mary Astor and Llovd Hughes give a performanee which is ad- mirable in every term. _Another gifted actress, al though a virtual newcomer to the screen, is Dolores del Rio, Cas- tilian beauty. She is not far from stardom this writer is willing to forecast. i Others in the cast are likewise capable. They include Rita Ca- rewe, Edward Davis, Alec Fran. cis, John Steppling and Clarissa Selwynne, = The direction by Carewe shows a faultless semee of values.

The picture, which is Fox Films version of Florence Ryerson’s story, “Willie the Worm,” shows last time tonight.’ The story of “Love Makes 'Em Wild” concerns an office worm who, when romiance strikes, turns into a roaring lion who “takes ft out” on all those who previously made life miserable for him. Johnny Harron plays the pa:t of the worm who turns. Sally Phipps plays the girl and we want to go on record right now as ing that Miss Phipps is one of the most charming actresses we have had ithe privilege of seeing |nmyltwy.

The following determinations were made in connection with the above: Aluminum, antimony, 13; arsenic, 10; calcium, 6; coal, 7; copper, 16; gold and silver, requiring 794 fusions or cations and 664, cupella iron, 10; lead, 20; magnes- manganese, 2; nickel, 2; 20; sa, 2; sulphur, 4; tin, 5; water, 3; zinc, 10. These results serve as a good barometer for the interest being taken by various parties along the belt of the Alaska Railroad. This assay work is done at the College co-operatively by the Bureau of Mines and the College as one means of aiding in the min- eral development of Alaska. Thero is not sufficient work of this na- ture to make commercial assaying profitable at ordinary prices, hence Mr. Hopkins is assigned to this work which is actually car- ried on at a loss. The charge for combined gold and silver assay is $1.00 and $1.00 for each additionul mineral. Ordinary mineral deter minations are madd free cf charge.
