THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, IlIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINH PICKETT' PALACE Last 2 Times Tonight LATE NEWS—M-G-M : SPOTLIGHT Aileen Pringle—Lionel Barry- more and Norman Kerry in “BODY AND SOUL” The Comedy Is “A SON OF ANNANAIS” Featuring George K. Arthur COMING THURSDAY BILLIE DOV “The Love Mart” AR RO REE R Attractions At Theatres b I "Thuse who know Aileen Pringle upon the screen as a portrayer of roles sophisticated are due to re- ceive a surprise when they see ‘her work in “Body and Soul,” a Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer production now being shown at the Palace. For the first time in her entire screen career Miss Pringle has a part which demands extremely dramatic action and pictures her as an inno- cen’s girl, the very reverse of her former screen sophistication. Miss Pringle has the role of the beautiful Hilda, heroine of Kath- arine Newlin Burt’s “best seller,” and appears opposite Norman Ker- ry. Lionel Barrymore has the role of the crazed English physician and T. Roy Barnes is seen' as the comical Swiss postman. The pic- ture was directed by Reginald Barker. “BODY AND SOUL” NOW AT PALACE q | 3 B | | “DEAD MAN’S CURVE” THRILLER, COLISEUM & Racing drivers, sports writers, and others connected with the sport of the track have given their endorse- ment to “Dead Man's Curve” an F. B. O. production now featuring Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., at the Coliseum, as the most realistic drama of automobile racing ever filmed. “The story of Dead Man’s Curve taken from Frank Richardson Pierce’s “The Century Champion- ship,” deals with the determination of a young driver to overcome the ~oodoo of a famous stretch of crack known as Dead Man's Curve and win for his motor and his girl. ] Many obstacles are thrown in his way, but he wins out in the end. Richard Rosson, who has di- rected many large pictures for sev- eral of the industry's leading pro-| ducing companies, handled the megaphone on a cast which in- cluded, in addition to Fairbanks, Arthur Metcalf, Charles Byer, Sally Blane, Kit Carson, Byron Douglas, James Mason and others. BILLIE DOVE AT PALACE TOMORROW | A new First National feature will be shown at the Palace tomorrow. The picture is “The Love Mart,” starring beautiful Billie Dove. George Fitzmaurice, who is re- membered for his lavish production of “The Stolen Bride,” also starring Billie Dove, directed “The Love Mart,” and it is said to be more colorful even than the former pic- ture. “The Love Mart” was adapted by Benjamin Glazer from a story by Edward Childs Carpenter, and con- cerns a stirring romance of a beau- tiful Creole maiden in the calient times of -old New Orleans when pi- rates and slave runners infested the Gulf and made everything very exciting. & Gilbert Roland, Noah Beery and a large cast of notable players sup- port Miss Dove in her latest pro- duction, ' UNDERWORLD FEATURE | . COMING TO COLISEUM | “A picture dealing with the un-| derworld of Chicago could not be completed unless it told of the heroism of the Chicago police de- partment,” according to Ralph Ince, director and star of “Chicago Af- ter Midnight,” which is coming to the Coliseum tomorrow. “A great many people suppose,”| Ince says, “that the Chicago crime regime was due to'laxity on the part of the law enforcement agen- cies. But in studying actual con- ditions there preparaotry to start- ing work on the picture, I found such was not the case at all. Al- 7 CRP T, | | view Laurerice’s paintings in leisure. though there are some notable cases in which officials and peace officers succumbed to the lure of bribes offered by gang leaders these cases are the exception, The truth is that the police, at least as an organized group, has done marvelous work in curbing crime in the Illinois city. And all that has been accomplished has been by sheer courage and determina- tion.” JUNEAU GIRL WINS PRIZE IN Ellen Mize Heads Alaska| Contestants in Current Events Contest Ellen Mize, eighth grade, Juneau, | Alaska, is the winner of one of the State prizes in the national “Our Presidents Contest” conducted by Current Events, the national school newspapers. Four grand national prizes—$50, $25, $15, and $10—were awarded as follows: First, Carol E. Anderson, seventh grade, North Dana, Mass., Grammar School; sec- ond, Katherine Francen, grade sev- ien, Public School 77, New York City; third, Wallace Sahlen, Tech- nical High School, Omaha Nebr.; fourth, James Malcoim Johnston, Jr, grade seven, Lansdowne, Pa., Public School. In addition, prizes were awarded, for each State, the District of Columbia, and the Ter- ritories and Possessions of the Unit- ed States. Nearly 20,000 pupils tom: |part in the contest for the more than 150 cash prizes. The contestants were required to name pictures of all the Presidents correctly, to give the State in which each President was born and the State from which he was chosen, and to state the period that each served as President. Each contes- tant was also required to write an; essay on the subject, “Why I Think the Thirty-first President Will Make a Good President.” Miss Mize’s Contribution The prize winning essay by Ellen Mize follows: “Why I Think Our Next Presi- dent Will Make a Good President: “President-elect Herbert Hoover is sure to make a good President. He will try to answer the employ- ment question, which is in need of an answer. There are many people in the United States without em- ployment, Herbert Hoover is called | upon to answer thig guestion. Judg- ing from the outcome of the Presi- dential election on November sixth, Herbert Hoover is quite popular in the States, ad'he won by a great majority, carrying forty of the for- ty-eight States. He is also called upon to answer the question on the amount of manufactured goods we send to foreign countries. We send over a billion dollars worth of manufactured goods annually. We also pay fixe or six times higher wages than they do in most any other country. The question is: ‘What will happen when these Eur- opean countries get into power again, and start manufacturing their own goods?” Hoover is also going to answer this question. Hoover is also for Prohibition, which is always right for any good government. I think Herbert Hoover will make a good Ticsident in ev- ery respect.” | ——— ART ROOM AT NUGGET SHOP ESTABLISHED An art room, where one can comfortably and leisurely study the lovely exhibition of Sydney Laur- ence paintings, well placed, with just the proper lighting, has been completed at the Nugget Shop.
