Franklin’s latest feature production for Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer, coming to the Palacc‘ tomorrow. In the story, an original by Ches- ter M. Franklin and Douglas Fur- ber, the dog is the pal and as- sistant of Matt Gray, a scienti(icI young detective, played by Charles; Delaney. In. discovering the iden- | tity of the mysterious crook who | murdered a wealthy woman for her Jewels, the dog and his master en- counter many weird and danger- ous obstacles that furnish innum- erable thrills for the new picture. One of the features of “The Thir- teenth Hour” is a “haunted” house, with countless sliding panels, sec- ret entrances, and trap doors, that is occupied by Professor Neville Le- roy, an eccentric old gentleman in- terested in psychic powers. Thi role is played by Lionel Barrymore. As the feminine lead, Jacquelin Gadsdon plays the part of Mary Lyle, secretary of Professor Leroy, and sweetheart of the young de- tective-hero. The rest of the cast includes Fred Kelsey, Polly Moran, Cecil Ray, Rose Tapley, Bud Fine, C. A. Trent and others of note. The story was adapted for the screen by Edward T. Lowe, Jr. L ] STORY OF SHEIK LOVE | AT COLISEUM SUNDAY | i Beauty, romance and action make “Fazil,” Fox picture which opens at the Coliscum Sunday, one of the film treats. Charles- Farrell and Greta Nissen are the featured play- ers. The production was directed by Howard Hawks. Fazil, an Arab tribal priace, Ls‘ sent to Venice on a diplomatic mis- sion and falls madly in love with Fabienne, a French girl. He sweeps her off her fect with his ardent| love-making. Their happy honey- moon is spent in Paris, but before long, his inborn prejudice leads him to-object to her freedom with other men and when she refuses to yield to his beliefs, he leaves her and returns to the desert. Fabienns follows and enters the harem, which he has maintained in deference to custom. He dismisses the harem girls and he and Fa- bienne 'are united again. But there: are further clashes between the; two representatives of East and West, and Fabienne arranges with | ber friends to help her to escapc’ from the palace, which leads to a| tremendous climax, in which Fazil| is wounded. The ending has an unexpected twist and is highly dramatic. k Farrell makes a handsome sheik, - one sure to flutter the hearts of flappers and older women as well. Miss Nissen,” white skinned and blonde is a decided contrast to the dark, bronzed Prince. Both give' remarkable performances. The sup- porting company includes Mae Busch, Fyler- Brooke, John - Boles, %1 ond Douglas clubs together. John T. Murray and Hank Mann.

The transmission line )\I\‘w‘ been constructed from the plant at Eklutna to Anchorage and is ready | to carry the load when the power shall be turned on. | The initial development prises a dam across a narrow can- |yon in the Eklutna River thus cre- | ating a reservoir. From this the‘m. each sport is suggested as one' water will be taken through a nge of hills in a tunnel 1,900 feet in length to the Alaska Rn:ifi‘ road at Eklutna. The initial unit| will furnish about 1,300 horsepower and will cost to construct $450,000. It is planned to expand the pro- | ject eventually to produce about | 4,000 horsepower. It is owned by an Anchorage company. Stock is held in Anchor- |cge in the amount of $50,000, the remeining capital being furnished by investors in the States. The engineering work is in charge of the F. H. Tibbetts Company, San Francisco, and the construction be- ing done by John Storey Company, also of San Francisco. The Lowell Creek flume is a sub- stantial pies> of work capable of performing the services for which it was built—protecting the town of ‘Seward from floods from Lowell Creek, Major Eiliott said. He found it was clogged with stumps and timbers and made arrange-. ments for it to be cleared at once. To prevent a recurrence of this condition, all such material will be burned immediately. | A conference was held by Major | Elliott with municipal officers Sew- ard and arrangements made for patrolling and illuminating the| flume during emergency periods. Of the money appropriated for the | project, there remains $13,000 which is continuing and will be available until it is exhausted for any re- pairs or betterments that may be necessary.

W. D.

With the film method the sound record consists of a band about one-eighth inch wide, called the sound track, which runs down one ide of the film and consists of icroscopic lines. The density of these lines depends on the loudness of the sound, so that the greater the contrast between light and dark | {lines the louder will be the sound. In other respects the film resembles |the ordinary kind. | The disc method employs disc records that are similar to the best | types of phonograph records except |that they are much larger and run |at about hslf the speed of a phono- In this way it is (able to play throughout a whole | | film except that it has special | marking at the beginning of a reel {to give the starting point for the | dise synchronization. | Both methods for recording and {reproducing are supplied by West- Coliseum. | e | NOTICE, MOTORISTS!
