B | “THE MISSING LINK” | BIG HIT, COLISELM | YTl Wight was the Tirat show. ing of Syd Chaplin’s latest comedy hit, “The Missing. Link.” This feature without a doubt is the very best that this star has appeared in to date. From the first until the fade-out it s just one hea laugh and the many that saw .. last night are high in praise of the comedy. The part Syd Chaplin takes is very much different from any that he has had in the past. And he is very much funnier and has been able to put in many more gags that are original than ever before. ‘Critics in the east claim that it has been a decided hit and that this comedy bowled ’em over in every city in which it played. Syd Chaplin has the part of a hunter and the experiences he gocs through to find “The Missing Link,” and the girl that he loves are enjoyment to both young and old. The thrills are many. This feature is on again tonight at the Coliseum. 3 COMING TO PALACE | 2 | “M’FADDEN'S FLATS" | R A “gag” in picture parlance is a situation which, fitting perfect- ly imto the story, produces a cer- tain laugh, says BEdward Smail, producer and nnrzor. The definition voiced the other day by Mr. Small during the filming of “Mc:Fadden's Flats,” which he transferred to the screen | “GooD As GOLD" IS | COMING TO COLISEUM Carl Miller, one of the screen famous heavies, has at last had his great desire gratified. For ten he has been in' motion pic and he has alwa wantd 1o have a featured role in a Buck Jones production for Films, When Buck selected his cast for “Good as Gold” he assigned tc Miller the role of Thomas Tilford claim-jumping killer of a mining district. Later Tilford becomc manager of the mine and t to marry the girl who inherits it from her uncle, Tilford's accomplice in murder and claim jumping. Miller has not always played crook roles He figured in a series of Western dr: as Dep uty Sheriff Temp who alw ran down and captured the crimi nals. Others in the cast with Jones and Miller are Frances Lee, Artiur Ludwig, Charles French, Adela Watson and Micky Moore Good as Gold” will be the Coliseum Saturday shown at TAKE OF SEAL THIS YEAR TO BE INCREASED Probably Reach 30,000 Skins—Herds Growing Steadily, Says O'Malley Based on early season results of tal of 12,5663 seals had be2en killed on the breeding grounds as com- pared to 8,039 on the same datc last year. The total take last was about 25,000 skins. P the pelts are fairly good, the Commis- sioner said. Logwood browns .,a new,_ color brought out by the St Louis firm handling the skins un der government contract, reached a top figure of $70. Good black peits brought §56. HERDS GROW STEADILY The seal herds, under govern- ment protection, are growing stead- ily. The 1927 census, completed the last ¢ July, showed more than 800,000 animals in the herds. As. the -increase - i -estimated at approximately 10 per cent annually there are now about 900,000 at the rookeries, it is estimated. Within a few years, the Com- missioner is confident the herds will have attained the maximum size of which there is any record. The first authentic report from early Russian sources placed the number on the Pribilofs at about 2,000,000. This number, said Com- missioner O'Malley, is believed to be as large as it is wise to parmit in the rookeries. When it has been attained, the present plan is to increase the rate of killings each year so as to keep the herds at that figure. No Pelagic Sealing Organizations and individuals in- terested in the perpetuaticn of the herds are strongly opposed to any return of pelagic sealing as they are convinced that it would result in a short time in depletion if not actual extinction of the seals. And it is not believed any of the four powers having interests in the in- ternational herds will consent to its restoration, In 1910 the United States, Great Britain, Japan and Russia perfect- to the herds. In 1911, the Bu- reau of Fisheries took over the protective work and has’ had charge of the herds in American waters since that date. The treaty continues in force until such time as any one or more of the con- tracting governments gives notice of one year of its intention to ab- rogate it. No such notice has been given and at this time there is no indication that any of the governmenis concerned have any desire to withdraw from the con- vention, said the Commissioner. Leaves Tonight The Commissioner will leave to- gs|might for Skagway and a visit to some of the more important sal- mon streams in the Lynn Canal district. He will go from there to Sitka via northern Chatham Strait and Peril Strait. From Sitka he will go to Cordova and dirtct to the Kodiak area, returning by way of Seward and Cook Inlet points, arriving here this month to spend the remainder of the fish- sealing operations by the Bure of Fisheries on Pribilof Islands, the seal taks of the rnment this year is expected to reach approxi- mately 30,000, according to a statement made today by U.

In Switzerland, in France and in America, learned men have ex- pressed the belief that upon certain of the planets life most assuredly exists; and they incline to the be- lief that if man could construct a rocket plane of sufficient power to it would be a somparatively easy matter for him to coast to one of the nearer stars. This theory an Intrepid German, Merr Anton Raab, World War ace and a constructing aviation expert, proposes to test by “shooting him- self” into the alr in a rocket plane of his ewn construction. “l am not going to the Moon this time,” Raab explained, adding that nis first attempt 18 to be an experi~ ment in which he himself will be a “human registering instrument.” He will record the mental, nerve and ing being shot into the alr at a ter- rific speed.

It was he who landed his plane in, the Unter den Linden fn Berlin to give an Ameri~ can correspondent an exclusive story. And it was he, too, who cracked up a plane in the garden ot the Princess Hermine of Reuss s0 that the same reporter could con- firm the reported engagement of that royal personage to the ex- Kalser. The story goes that Her- mine was so amused by the expedi- ent that she willingly granted an exclusive Interview to the reporter regarding her royal romance.
