The minute there is a sign of a heart ache or the possibility of a thrill being too devastating, a good, hearty laugh is introduced and the world js gay and merry again. The picture was adapted for the screen by Gerald Duffy from the great New York stage success of the same name from the Jen of Leon DeAcosta. It was woven into its present delightful state by the masterly direction of James Horne. Lovable Kitty Kel- ly: is played by the vivacious Viola Dana while the rest of the all- star cast includes: Vera Gordon, Tom Forman, Aggle Herring, Nat (hrr Kathleen Myers, Stanley Taylor and Carroll Nye. ™ |.“PRIN6£ OF PILSEN" {3r4 AT PALACE SUNDAY Geo!

At McGrath the road system i not of much importance as chey de pend more on water for transpor- tation purposes, Major Elliott said The principle industries in the vi- cinity of McGrath are trapping, fox farming and the production o! sawed lumber for local use. Ophir-Tacotna Road The road between Ophir and Tacotna is in good shape and serves a district where there is considerable hydraulic miting go' ing on. The road is being used 23| by automobiles, according o Major Elliott, “Mr. Sommers and I inspected jthe road from Flat to Iditarod which is of considerable import: ance, as it connects the head of navigation on the Iditarod River. with the important mining coun- try, centering around Flat. The road is in good condition and is used by automobiles in the sum- mer and by caterpillars in the win. ter. “Iditarod, which was once an im- portant mining center has dwindled until it is little but a trading post and point of transfer of freight from the hoats to the road. “The landing field at Flat is about 2 miles out from town, to which it is conmected by a road, on which some improvements will be made.” Eskimo .
