The story of “Ranger of the North” is built around a city-bred boy and his dog who find them- selves at a little trading peost in the upper reaches of North Ameri- oa, where men are still in the pio- neer stage of their development. i Urged on by the love of a beau- tiful girl the boy and his dog set out to unravel the mystery of a treasure mountain which has meant death to -every previous explorer. The manner in which Ranger serv- es his master to untold wealth and aids him in winning his beloved is said to be an epic of doy loyalty and devotion. ‘ Lina Basquette, for three years the toast of Brordway as premiere danseuse of the “Follies,” ‘plays the leadmg feminine role; opposite ‘Hugh Trevot, a comparatively new | name in pictures. :The cast .includes Bernard Beigle! and Jules Rancourt, and others. ] o [ “THE LOVE MART” AT | | PALACE LAST TIMES | i Walter Raleigh won fame by placing his coat upon the ground for-'‘Queen Elizabeth to walk: upon. In “The Love Mart,” Gilbert Ro- land places His arms at the dis- posal -of 'beautiful Billle Dove and carries her across a mud-puddle. Sir Walter didn't win the Queen as a result of his courtly act, but in this George Fitzmaurice produc- tion for First National - Pictures, with Miss Dove and Noah Beery as the other: protagonists, Roland does win the heéroine’s hand, in her role of Antoinette Frobelle. The moral would seem to be—look for a mudpuddle if you wish to make a hit with a lovely lady! "“The Love Mart” is now showing at the Palace Theatre. : “THE POPUEAR SIN” IS | AT COLISEUM TOMORROW | [ e T T 1 , “The Popular Sin"—what it is, its causes, development, prevention, and any of ten other sidelights wml = be revealed at the Coliseum Sun- day when Florence Vidor's second Paramount starring vehicle, “The Popular 8in,” has its premiere per- formance. As Monta Bell's original story told it and as Malcolm St. Clair has screened it, “The Popular Sin” tells of six characters,—three men and an equal number of women—all tal affairs became mixed up. instance at the start of the film, Yvonne is married to George Mont- ford, but by the final fade-out, she is discovered kissing Jean Corot, and just to add laughter to the in- tricacies of the plot, it must also be said that lots of things had to happen before they gained such perfect felicity. Among the many obstacles placed in their paths |were the entrances of Lulu, La Belle Toulaise and Alphonse Mar- tin—of the Theatre Francaise. To pharaphrase the ads, there'd seem to be laughs enough for all. From the names of the featured cast,—Clive Brook, Greta Nissen |and Philip Strange,—we’d add that {1t looks like a good entertainment bet. OP THAT MAN" IS AT PALACE ON SUNDAY Arthur Lake and Barbara Kent, Universal's two popular Junior stars, will be seen together for the first time in the farical comedy, “Stop That Man,* which will open at the Palace Theatre Sunday and Monday, starting “at “the Sunday matinee. This is a story of youth's desire to grow up in order to accomplish something in the world. The spirit of youth pervades the picture. Nat Ross, the famous director of “The = Collegians,” was responsible for this production, and no one questions his ability to put liveli- ness, sparkle, and humor into every situation. Never has a better com- edy of adolescent love been filmed. “Stop That Man” is a comedy of a younger brother who wants to get on the police force. = Instead of __ | becoming an officer of the law, he almost becomes a crook. The supporting cast is excellent. It includes such players as Eddie { Gribbon, Warner Richmond, Walter McGrail, George Siegmann, and iJoe Girard. The story is taken from the play of the same name by George V. Hobart. It was very successful n the stage and all the elements which make the play a hit have | been brought to the sereen for mo- tion picture audiences to witness. {SHRINE DANCE TO LEGISLATORS ‘WAS LARGELY ATTENDED One of the largest crowds to at- tend a dance in the Scottish Rite Temple was last night at the event of the Shrine Club Ball for the visiting Legislators. Practically all of the members of both House and the Senate were at the ball as the special guests of the Masonic body. The dancing started at 10 o'clock and continued until after midnight. Throughout the evening refresh- ments were served by the Ladies of The Eastern Star in the Temple dining room. - DRAKE CABIN SOLD Th Drake cabin with 100 foot frontage facing Auk Lake has been sold by Mrs. Marie Drake to Mrs. H.

In addition to the lessons the pamphlet contains some informative items such as a list of Alaska tree species with their common and seientific names and with their reported range. Key for identification of ‘Alaska trees, an article on the forage resources of Alaska and various poems hav- ing trees as their themes. Choice of Subjects The subject of the essay can be selected by the pupil but must cover some phase of Alaska forestry touched on by the lessons.
