The return to the screen afler her triumphal tour of Australia, of this brilliant exponent of the histrionic profession is particular- ly fortunate in that she has a role which gives her splendid powers full scope. Hyatt Daab and Weed Dickison wrote the story around the star, and they picked a time. ly_as well as strong theme. Why this rich field has not been touch- ed before is hard to state, but it ig begutifully tapped in the cur- rent F. B. O. special, which Doris Anderson has transported to the Silver Sheet with a deft touch and a woman's intuition. | HOOT GIBSON AT | | PALACE TONIGHT | An unusually large cast, every member of which is a well-known screen personality, will be seen in “Thé Denver Dude,” the Uni- versal Jewel starring Hoot Gib- son, when it opens its engagement of two days at the Palace theatre tonight. In the feminine lead opposite the popular Hoot is Blanche Mehaf. fey, one' of the screen's most pop- ular of the younger actresses, whose work in “Take It From Me,” “His People,” “The Runaway Express” and other pictures is re. membered everywhere. Robert McKim, deep-dyed movie villain, who has glowerexl and plotted through many a film, has a: prominent role. Mlenn Tryon, star of two. reel camedies for the past three years, “§lim” Summerville, véteran com- star and. director, Howard uesdell, Mathilde Brundage, H. 'odd, Rolfe Sedan have prominent rt3 in the production, while a number of dther players are to be ge n"h smaller roles. & ; HE AUCTIONEER" IS | S com Qfi TO COLISEUM |‘ verslon of "‘l'h' thm !#- first and one of best. of the Baluco-wflfleld suocesses praduced by Fox|in " Chicago. s_ynder the direction of Al- Green is to be shown al,umed' Olélllm Thursday will secretly reject the Soviet plan even if openly they only toy and spar with it. Finally, the advocates of the theory that disarmament should be allowed to settle itself by spon- taneous action from individual states point to the immense ‘in- fluence of the American outlawry of war pact tendency to regard the Kellogg mutilated agreement.as the biggest move for peace in years, and to compare it in importance to the creation of the League of Nations and to the Locarno pact which modelled the machinery for per- manent peace on the Rhine. It is believed that the moral ef- fect of the Kellogg pact will be widespread and profound on the peoples of the world, increasing their sense of security and their conviction that the risk of war has, at the least, been considerab. ly reduced. No morg war—no more weapons, is the criptic slo. gan which echoes and re-echoes. And if this be true, say the adver- saries of » collective disarmament treaty, then nations will gradually jdisarm of their own will. But that does mnot imply that further attempts will be abandon ed. There are people here con. =t | vinced that another meeting of the preparatory disarmament commis- sion is a certainty, and that public opinion “expressed .through the League assembly will never per. mit the Leugue{to drop disarma. ment. i BALD MATE WHO SPURNS WIG IS SUED| SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.— This suit will either be won, or lost by a hair—or the lack of several of them.

Whether aircraft that can ¢ men across the oceans, acros Arctic wastes, cven to the pole, will surmount th~ ba of gale and storm, ice and moun.| tain, that have kept the south! polar regions a land of mystery, will soon be determined by Comm | Richard E. Byrd, Capt. Sir bert Wilkins, Comm. Douglas G. Jeffery, Royal Navy, retired, and their respective parties. Aviators| have great faith in the modern plane, but they know that task is the hardest ever assigned | to it. Antarctic weather is the worst in the world. Byrd Expedition The Byrd expellition starts on its §500,000 venture about the mid- dle of August. Most of the 55 men and virtually all of the elab orate equipment will travel to Dur- edin, New Zealand, aboard the barkentine Samson, although the commander himself plans to I about a montk later. From Ne Zealand the explorers will steam across to the Bay of Whales, a threshold to Antarctica on the Ross Sea ice barrier, there to es- tablish the basg of operations. They hope to, reach this point by January 1, summertime in the Antarctic. Wilkina Expedition The Wilkins expedition, smaller than Byrd's, plans to leave a C fornia pert in Octoler, proceeding first to Panama, where it will hoard a whaler for the long voy- age to. Ross Sea, where it, too, will gtart work. A whaliug vessel will bring the little party north when its work is over. { Jeffery, a veteran of thes last Shackelton expedition to Antarc.' tica, sails south from New York 'n September, expecting to return in May.

The vast south polar continent, neaily as large as the United States and the mainland of Canada together, is the last great geographical chal-| lenge tq science.

Parts of ‘the coast and heir. immediate hinterlands have been explored rather thorough'y and-have yielded valuable data, but the.narrow, stretches of .the far in- téfior seen by Amundsen, Scott and Shackleton are the' only- re. this | * THREE EXPEDITIONS TO ANTARCTIC GIVE AIRPLANE ITS SEV EREST TEQT v, DOUGLAS GEORGE JEFFERY corded glimpses of the continent's ! heart. There Antarctica lies, surrounded and covered by ice—a huge white dome with the South Pole near its center, per d on a plateau near. ly two high, and the re- mainder ‘ts 5,000,000 square miles tapering to the Atlantic, cific, and Indian oceans. Great lce Cap The ice-cap is believed to ex- tend down to the sea at ne all points. It terminates generally in towering, unscaleable ice cliffs from which break huge bergs, cov- eriug the ocean with white moun- tains and closely packed ice that hold ships at bay Parts of the coast are more ac. cessible than others, and it from two such points that the three expeditions purpose to oper- ate. . A glance at tho -map show: two great indentations or gul one, Ross Sea, opposite New Zea- Jbaie or Ty Pa- | land; = the other, Weddell acros: from South America. The Byrd and Wilkins parties plan to launch their aerial assaults from Ross Sea, or rather from the| barrier that chokes more than| that ocean arm. It was| from this barrier that Amundsen | and Scott st ed on their trip to the pole. Jeffery expects to at- tack from the shore of Weddell | Sea, and will therefore be across| the continent from the other two leaders. Sea, Flight Zones three zones of mapped in advance, will hardly overlap, if at all. Byrd plans to fly eastward over what is called King Edward VII Land; in addi- tion, of course, he will attempt a| flight to the South Pole, which | Amundsen and Scott reached after laborious sledge journeys. Sir Hubert proposes an eastward flight along the unmapped, unseen [ coast between Ross Sea and Gra | ham’s Land, the western bound of Weddell Sea. He does , contemplate a hop to the pole. Jeffery's effort will'start from a base on the west coast of Gra- ham’s Land. He plans to da his exploring eastward to Coat's Land, which lies on the other side of Weddell Sea, He may alsp try a trip 1o the pole and across the continent,to Ross Sea. PROSPECTING NOW ON THE UPGRADE Unusual ipterest In prospecting apparent throughout the Inter. fior this year, says A. A. Bennett, local aviator, in an article in a recent issue of the Fairbanks News-Miner, There are said to he more prospectors in the field now than for several years past and it is highly probable, Bennett believes, that some new strikes will be made within the next few months “Men who have heen at Eagle 10 years without trying to find new placers suddenly got the prospecting bug this year and are out working now,” .the aviator said A new Th3 flight, as not 5 strike is reported 3! miles above Wiseman but no de- tails have been recelved ‘Likely looking prospects have heen uncovered and 60 claims have gl- ready been staked. | While flying to Chicken creck ithe other day Bennett say ahout 0 men in two poling boats going up. the Squaw river, north of Ram- part. The hoats were heavily loaded, indicating ‘that' the pros- ectors contemplated a stay of con. l{siderable length. The aviator flew almost to the head of the river but did not observe signs of previous workings. High water. all over the Inter- for is aiding miners, Bennetf sald. ThF creeks are running full and even at camps where there is us ually a water shortage, such as 'the Igitarod, . there is now more water than can be used.. “There is.a lot of activity in a miping way from the Canadian border to Mosquito creek and from all in. dications this should bhe a boom year,” the flyer declared. Better 'ground is being opened p on Chicken creek and the camp is attracting many new residents. | About ten persons have traveled {from Fairbanks to Chicken this | summer to get in on the ground floor and a like number have | come from other pojnts. There are now ahout 60 persons in the camp. Jack’ Wade, the Charley river and Seventymile are showing a like | activity. | — e, Mys. 8.

Feature Editor) HOLLYWQOD, Calif.,, July 31 It is an . ere coinciden that one of the yery man crook” pletur geason have in its cast an actor who in 1908 gave first “gentleman rook” perform- nge in Astory. He is J. Bar- aey Sherry, who plays Mary Bri. an’s foster father n “Forgotten Taces.™ Clive Brook is the gen- tleman crook of he polished hold- ap-technique who bceuples the cep ter of dramatic interest. Sherry functions modest- ly in the back ground. But 23 years J. Barney Sherryago, when nickel odians were just beginning to sell tickets, a far-sighted producer startled such film fans there were In those days by making a feature version of the popular Broadway play, “Raffles, the Ama- teur Cracksman,” . Precedent was thrown into the ash heap, all cau. tion in the matter of production expense was ignored, and a whole reel of celluloid, a thousand feet, was risked on the venture. The producer even signed a stage ac- tor to play the title rale at what was then the top starring salary of the movies, $10 a day. J. Barney Sherry was the actor and he need. ed the money very much—it was midsummer and the theatres were closed—-ar he would not have risk- ed his. professional standing by dabbling in a form of entertain- ment then scorned by all “legiti- mate” players. Indeed, Sherry himself thought 50 little of motion pictures that he never had seen one up to the time he played at Raffles. Whoen “Raf. fles the Amateur Cracksman” was completed he looked at it, of course, and saw himself as the star of the first motion picture he had ever seen. He was agreeably guppri Not that it appealed to him as an art. “We never spoke of what we were deing .as ‘art’ during. the making of that picture,” he said, “and I don't helicve I'even heard onyone in_the company use the word ‘drama.! “In fact, uptil it pepsed to be & ty to sce ohjeus and people of the current should] the | movie IRST I'II,M (R()()K } it haac-adinnirks (b -t R | moved most Raises in pay came | to the player who made more and faster motions."” Since that first of all “crook” | pictures, J.
