This was evidenced once | last fall when the Band staged a typical College Rally in which a brass band was supposed to have 1 very prominent part. Letters received from all parts of the coun- try indicated that a very large iistening audience actually thought they were listening to a pep rally from the University of Washington and many remarked how smoothly the entire pep rally moved along. On January 17, the theme of the Associated Brass Band program was the “Adventures of a Lodge Band at a National Convention.” Incidents that might occur to a Lodge Band, its parade down the main street to the depot, its par- ade in the convention city, the band contest and nightly serenades were all given a place in the pro- gram, And again, the three Northwest Stations each received a number of letters from distant listeners asking for further information ibout the convention. One listener in Toronto, Ontario, complained that the announcer failed to tell Which Lodge was having the con- véntion or the name of the band that took the silver loving cup arnd this listener further stated that he as unable to find any aceount in his newspapers of a National Con- vention being in session at that particular date. However, he was keenly interested in the band con- cert and agreed that the judges showed good taste in awarding. the sliver loving cup to the band, wherever it- came from. “Bulldogging a steer” was oncej the greatest thrill in. the program of a Western rodeo. Most rodeos of the present time have elimi- nated the “bulldogging” number from their programs for the simple reason that it is too dangerous for the cowboys. It required a marve- lous riding ability, together with super-strength, the eye of an eagle and the capability of timing mo- conds, “Bulldogging,” when properly done, consists of releasing-a wild steer from an enclosed corral, with a mounted cowboy standing in readiness to follow the steer. The cowboy must jump from his horse alongside or atop the bull and throw the steer from his feet to the ground. In championship contests this takes anywhere from one to five minutes. Ken Maynard sets a record in bulldogging in “The Land Beyond the Law,” his latest First National starring picture, coming to the Palace Theatre tonight. To make the stunt all the more sensational Ken bulldogs a steer in this pic- ture to rescue Billy Butts, who is in the path of the maddened “dogy” and does so from his feet —without jumping from a horse. A “dogy” by the way, is a mave- rick steer who drifts from the herd and generally causes the most trouble in a roundup. ~£3 2 | “LADY OF THE HAREM” | | AT COLISEUM TONIGHT | o & b'r“Be.';umul slave girls for sale. How much am 1 bid?” “One hundred dollars,” a voice from the crowd. “Two hundred,” chanted another voice. “Two fifty,” raised the first bid- der. “Sold!” shouted the man on the platform—and the fortunate bidder carried away the beautiful girl. It all happened at a colorful slave market scene in the Para- mount Studio recently during the filming of “The Lady of the Ha- rem,” tremendous spectacle pro- duction of ancient Persia during the days of the Arabian Nights which is at the Coliseum tonight. For the scene, forty of Holly- wood's most beautiful girls were dressed as slaves and auctioned before an audignee of several hun- dred prospective purchasers. It is in this sequence that one of the most dramatic incidents in the story takes place. Greta Nissen beautiful Norse screen discovery, is placed on the auction block and purchased by her lover, Willlam Collier Jr., only to be taken away from him immediately after the transaction is made by the cruel Sultan. Other featured players in the cast of “The Lady of the Harem” include Ernest Torrence and Lou- ise Fazenda. shouted Juneau’s brass band, the Juneau City Band, will furnish the music for the annual dance of the Eagles to be given in Elks Hall next Sat- urday night. //_“ HEEn i Everybody can’t get a “kick” out of business or professional life. “So there has sprung up a class of nervy humans who deal in “thrills” as a means of earning a living.
