Gibson is noted 1or his swift- moving pictures in which action, comedy and thrills are skillfully intermingled, and “The Denver Dude” ranks among the best pro- ductions the popular star has ever done. Although western in its locale, and with much action typical of this type of picture, “The Denver Dude” is more than a “western” in the usual sense of the word. It is.light comedy, with the in- imitable Hoot riding the crest of every scene and situation with his winning personalily always beam.- ing through and his innate sense of comedy always foremost. Blanche Mehaffey makes an at- tractive leading woman for Gib- don, and Glenit Pryon and “Slim" Bummerville assist the. star . in lending comedy to the picture. Robert McKim, Howard Trues. dell, Harry Todd, Mathilde Brunl- age, Rolfe Sedan and others are also in ‘thé ' cast. n\" PAULINE FREDERICK ] NOW AT COLISEUM | - —iy Of Pauline Frederick’s many no- table screen triumphs, none give greater. .proof of her intense dra- matic power, than F. B. 0.’s splen- did production, “Her Honor The Governor,” which is: now showing at ‘the Coliseum Theatre. . Miss Frederiek's role of the gov. ernor of .a great: state, tortured hetween her official duty and her love for her son, give ample oppor. tunity for displaying the emo. tional abiiity for which she is 80| famed, and the story progresses in a series of increasingly gripping scenes to the final thrilling cli- max. The impressive theme of the picture, whether a woman's first duty is to her family -or her career, is strikingly brought out in the development of the film, and the final answer to the ques- tion will capture the interest of any audience. Chet Withey's direction lends & power .and dignity to the produc. tion, and the cast, including Tom Santchi, Kathleen Kirkham, Car. rol Nye, Greta Von Rue, Stanton Heck, Boris Karloff and Charles{ McHugh; provide excellent suppore. Doris Anderson adapted and sce- narized the picture from the orig- fnal story by Weed Dickison and Hyatt Daab. '.

COOLEY (Ascgociated Press Science Editor) (Copyright, 1928, The Associated | Prees) ( , NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—When the ancient geographers put, a bigd white patch at the bottom of their |maps and labeled it “Terra Aus- tralis,” they made a good guess. Although subsequent exploratioa revealed that they had assigned far too much space to land in the southern regions, the discovery of Antarctica, Australia and the is- land groups off those. contiinents substantiated the hypothesis that the lower lattitudes of the globe were by no means occupied only by water. Barly sixteenth century maps extended the south polar lands as |far north as the Tropic of Capri- jeorn, but this theory was quickly |fl|nnellml by the voyagers who cir. The age of discovery also cast dis- credit on the pretty story about the four rivers of Paradise that at the South Pole. Where Pole Is Strangely enough, men learned later that the pole actually was atop a 10,000-foot plateau in the flowed from a mighty, mounmmI ANTARCT/C, MILES ‘BYRD ™' Jeffery. Intensive study of the little-known cont'nent of Antarctica which lies eround the Scuth Pole is the objective of threc expediticns sctting out this dutumn—those of Commander Richard E.

Captain James Cook got i for having the first with the true Antarctica. In 177 he crossed the Antarctic Circle, a \feat never before accomplished and later dipped beyond it again, pene. trating past 71 degrees. His chlof accomplishment, however, was a circuit of the southern ocean, and although he saw only a few lands he showed that the south. ern continent, if it indeed existed, was not connected with the other credit association is- cled the tip of South America,'lATge Eeographical divisions. Cook was convinced, however, that theras was continental land nearer the the globe and Credit to Wilkes Credit is generally given to an {f\merican, = Lieutenant Charles Wilkes of the United States navy, ifor proving the correctness of | Cook’s theory. In 1840 Wilkey joutlined features of the continent- 'lll margin for a distance of 1,800 mile id - that part of the Ant- arctic coast still bears his name. Prior to Wilkes discovery, Brit sh sealers ‘had added the South (Shetland and the South Orkney is- Hlands to the map, and a Russian ;(’xlmllimm under Captain Belling- Lausen had visitcd islands within the Antarctie Circle. In 1823 iJames Weddell, a whaler, pushed tlu'yuud the ge fourth parallel of latitude, reaching the sea that has since borne his name, The period of Wilkes' activities brought fich results from explorers of several nation Graham Land South Victoria Land, Knox Land, the Ross Sca and :ce barrier and other stretches of coast were add- ed to the continental map, and men first learned how formidablé A place Antarctica e was, ex. periencing its terrific storms and blizzards, seeing the towering ice cliffs that guard its shores and heart of Antarctica, and so the savants of old got credit for an. | other good guess There are no rivers in the vast southern conti. fnent, but there are mighty high mountains, 3 This fall and early winter threc exploting parties, equipped wirh airplanes &nd the best scientific equipment obtainabie, will sall in- to the p; ice that surrounds the Antarcti¢/land.
