Artists Corporation—“Tumbleweeds” | —a powerful story of western dra- ma coming to the Coliseum tonight for a two day run. Barbara Bedford is leading wom- an, playing Molly Lassiter, a beau- | tiful and resourceful girl of the midwest. Lucien Littlefield, one of the fore- most character actors and an ex- was selected for the semi-comedy role of “Kentucky Rose”—a quaint frontier type, a cowboy who believes himself a sort of range sheik, but who has a heart of gold. J. Gordon Russell plays Noll, one | of the two heavies. Mr. Russell| has appeared in several Hart pic- tures in the past and is a big man with much dramatic insight. i Richard R. Neill, as Freel, is the| other villain. He is also well-| known on the screen but has work- cd mostly in the East. He played & part in Mr. Hart's “Wild Bill Hicock,” however. Jack Murphy, a clever youngster, | will be seen as Bart Lassiter. Lil-| ‘Man Leighton has a highly humor-| ous role as Mrs, Riley, one of the homesteaders, while Gertrude Claire plays a sympathetic role. Capt. T. E. Duncan is a calvary major. Great crowds of extra people were employed in the great land rush scenes which were made on loca- tion at a famous old rancho. MucH DANGING IN | FEATURE AT PALACE | fl'rwo hundred pairs of dn slippers were worn out during the filming of one of the recent cabaret sets at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. Twelve days of dnndng—dght' hours daily—in the filming of the lavish purple grotto dancing se- quence of “Adam and Evi)” playing at the Palace Theatre tonight, cost practically every one of the dancers a pair of shoes. * ‘The average girl, who wears three or four pairs of shoes annually, will be surprised to know that even “'the girls who appear ‘in film “at- mosphere” require approximately o ‘minimum of a dozen pairs an- nually. | COLISEUM TONIGHT | | ’Ef | His headed by Alan Brooks. The New York Morning Telegraph, re- fers to “The Love of Sunya,” Gloria Swanson’s picture, which comes to |the Coliseum Sunday. “In photographic effects, in dra- matic power, in strength, sufficiency of cast,” Miss Crewe writes, “she has prepared a photodrama which !cannot fail to be a masterpiece. And she has labored so hard to ac- complish this purpose.” Writing of Miss Swanson, Miss| ! Crewe says she has been unspoiled by her remarkable success and still works with the inspiration which marked the days when she was climbing upward to fame. “Gloria Swanson is one of the super-women of the screen,” the critic continues. “One does not predict where she is concerned. Stars have come and stars have gone. Many of them. They will always do so. But there will re- main a few who are firmly fixed in the firmament of fame. They at- tain the heights and hold them. They are constant—true. They live by the light of their ideals. Suc- cess does not spoil them. It spurs them on to higher accomplish- ments. Gloria Swanson is one of these.” “PALS IN PARADISE” ey AT PALACE SUNDAY = | | | | | LS 4 Rudolph Schildkrait and May Robson, both internationally cele- brated stage stars, appear together for the first time in a motion pic- ture production in “Pals in Para- dise,” directed by George B. Seitz, for Metropolitan, which will be pre- sented at the Palace next Sunday. Both players have earned a dis- tinctive niche in the portrayal of character parts on the legitimate stage and their screen work is {equally effective. Each is now signed to a long term contract to la ppear in De-Mille-Metropolitan iprodumon& In “Pals in Paradise,” Mr. Schild- kraut and Miss Robson are featured waed P | . e Hew Honng ) westnthelios. el hao anjf/m j To incusTations W wiqeofi}aq a oir whistling @77@’ 16 a ppeck fess white pal ; %}Aae!okofgb* RUTHERFORD TELLS PLANS FOR SEASON ont President of juneau Lum- ber Mills Return Here from Business Trip | Combining business with ploasurc; for about four months in the South and realizing real results from both endeavors, is the manner in which Roy Rutherford summed up the| recently ended business and pleas- ure jaunt with his family to south- | ern California and way points. Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford with their daughters Dorothy and Florence, returned home aboard the steamer Alaska, i Of prime importance, Mr. Ruther- ford considers the contracts that he closed while outside for con= siderable of the 1929 output of the local saw mill of the owning .com- pany of which he is President. Sal- mon bhox lumber, as usual, will be one of the major outputs of the plant. Contracts for large amounts of this material were closed, the whole of the orders being for Alas- kan canneries. Spruce Ranks High Clear spruce will again be one of the high rankers from a finan- clal standpoint, said Mr. Ruther- ford. Contracts for large quanti- | ties of this lumber were also closed. | As in the past a large proportion ! of the spruce will be consumed by the airplane industry in Europe,' with considerable amounts utilized ! for similar purposes in the States.' While various metals are fast re- placing woods as plane building material, spruce is still a neces- | sity and is used in large qunntitien.f Mr. Rutherford explained. Engineers have yet to find a metal that for : lightness and comparative strength | will meet the universal demands of ' the plane builders. There are' at this time several planes being manufactured in all wood. The! Lockheed Vega, a most successful and truly remarkable performlna\ with Marguerite De La Motte and :John Bowers. The supporting cast istory is by Peter B. Kyne and the screen adaptation by Will M. Ritch- ey and Albert Kenyon. The pic- ture is said to be as humorous as {it is thrilling and appealing. ?NO MATINEE AT | COLISEUM SATURDAY R On account of the Coliseum Tha.'? ater being redecorated it will be im- possible to give the regular mati- nee Saturday.

Three machines that are designed primarily to obviate waste will be installed. These machines according to Mr. Rutherford, are used in the box department. With them the narrow widths of mater- ial that in the past have been burn- ed will be joined under pressure and glued, thus making a strong board wide enough for box pur- poses. The machinery for this purpose comprises three machines —box board matcher, gluer and squeezer. Lumber Market Up The lumber market of the States is up $1 to $3 per thousand feet, said Mr. Rutherford.
