Attractions At Theatres . S SN DA “OH, BABY!” AT PALACE | MAKES DECIDED HIT | + | Funny, amusing, gay, rolii hese and any other adjectives at the critic's command must be unmmoned to describe the mirth- provoking elements that go to make up the side-splitting comedy “Oh, Baby!" which opened last jnight at the Palace where it will be the feature attraction dgain onight. “Oh, Baby!'"” is released By Uni- ersal. It marks the screen de- but of Little Billy, diminutive vaudeville star, who is supported by Madge Kennedy, Creighton Hale, Ethel Shannon, Flora Finch land David Butler. The story was [@written and directed by Harley Knoles with the screen adapta- tlon credited to Arthur Hoerl ‘The tiny actor is a born comedi- an who might well earn the] psuedonym of the mindature Chap- Mn. His performance sparkles with wit .and pep from opening scene to final fade-out within the boundaries of which he is before the camera most of the time. Madge Kennedy as the inter- viewer, Creighton Hale as dis- tressed Charley, Flora Finch as Aunt Phoebe, Ethel Shanron as her beautiful companion and Pavid Butler as Jim Strong, the victorious fighter, all give excel- lent accounts of themselves. In respect to story, treatment and acting, “Oh, Baby!” is the last word in corking entertain- ment. s 'T“RIOH BUT HONEST” IS | AT COLISEUM TONIGHT | “Rich But Honest,” Fox Films' version of the clever short story by, Arthur Somers Roche, which comes to the Coliseum tonight only, is very well worth seeing, according to all advance reports. It is the story of a very mod- ern girl who, leaving her job in a big department store for the chorus, finds herself forced to chooge between her old “sweetie” and a new and extremely rich ad- mirer. The way in which she makes her choice and the man she chooses in the end brings the story to an interesting and un- wusual ending. Nancy: Nash, one of the most promising of the newer actresses, g.yi the part of the girl. Charles lorton and Clifford Holland, both of them new additions to motion pictures, have the featured male roles, , This feature 4is given in con- Junction with the lecture by Fath- er Hubbard, mention of which is made elsewhere in today’s Em- Ppire.

Hawkeswortl, sup erintendent for the United State Jureau of Education in Southeast ern Alaska, returned to Juneau on the steamer Yukon after an ab sence of six weeks. His purpose in going south was to hold conferences in Seattls and assist in the outlining of bud gets for the bureau's work during the next two years. -After com pleting his work in Seatile, Mr and Mrs. Hawkesworth and he: sister made a trip to Portland where they visited the Shrinc Hospital, and then returned Seattle. Plans for the $60,060 industrial school at White Mountain and the $16,000 schopl at Point Barrow, replacing’ those which were burn ed, were: Aisgnssed In Seattle, and will probably’ be constructed this summer, Mr, Hawkesworth said. While in Seattle Mr. Hawkes worth visited the Orthopedic Hos. pital. In a recent contest which held a large space in a recent Sunday edition of the Seattle Times, Horace Marks, native boy of Hoonah who is in the hos pital, won first prize for the best carving from a bar of soap. Mr. Hawkesworth told of the work being done by the Alaska Institute Teachers who broadcast over KOMO each Tuesday night. These programs, he said, are ta ken down in shorthand by a teacher in Shungnak, Kobuck River, north of the Arctic Circle, and sent back to Seattle some- times reaching there twelve days after they are sent out. The vitaphone picture of the American Legion convention in Paris was showing at a Seattle theatre while Mr. Hawkesworth was south and he attended. The picture, he said, showed the head of the parade, with the Alaskans heading the delegations as they marched. Mrs. Hawkesworth did not ac- company her husband north, as she remained in Seattle because of the illness of her sister. She expects to return to Juneau soon. —_—a e TAKE PRISONERS SOUTH - Deputy Marshal William Gar- ster, accompanied by Deputy Marshal Frank Nefse and Hans Wick and Steve Raymond who will go as guards, will leave to- day on the steamer Aleutian for the south, taking David Genend- er, sentenced to serve one year and one day in the penitentiary for embezzlement, Lee Donnelly, sentenced to serve ome year for has col-| old, to] !
