L0, S R M RTINS SO SRR T80 i ok R R T THRILLS THRILLS at the PALACE Tomght—7 15-9:15 AL WILSON Aviation Stunt Champion “Sky High Saunders” Two lat(' r('elr, ui Nl'ws Events and Snookums C omedv Mae Pauly’s Orchestra plav for l)oth shows Attractions At Theatres PERATET 75 I o ! “IN OLD ARIZONA” NOW_ AT COLISEUM -2 “In Old Arizona” opened to a packed house at the Coliseum last night and is on again for three more nights. “In Old Arizona” is not only in- finitely better than the usual crop of films, but it is significant be- cause it is the first outdoor talkie and really the first one to combine the technique of the screen and the stage, and the first one to make one forget the mechanical sound device. It has all the gentle satire and irony of that great short story writer, O. Henry, and the stretch of desert country is so gor- geous and the mountainous country so_effective that you would be con- tent just to look at some of the magnificent scenic effects. ‘Warner Baxter as the bandit has never been seen in a portrayal that is' presented with so much feeling. Edmund Lowe is again a hardboil- ed sergeant—the same kind that won him plaudits in “What Price Glory.” Dorothy Burgess' per- formante as Tohia Maria is a clas- sie. There is credit enough for both Raoul Walsh and Irving Cum- mings for the direction of the pic- ture. - E" DARE DEVIL AIR | STUNTS AT PALACE & In a plane traveling at a breath- taking clip through the clouds, Al ‘Wilson, the screen’s greatest stunt and trick aviator, performs the most thrilling feats of his career in “Sky High Saunders,” & Universal West- ern air film that opened at the Palace last night and is showing for final times tonight. From the opening shot which finds a gang of crooks using an airplane for their nefarious smug- gling operations to the final fade- out, with the girl, of course, in the arms of the flying ace, “Sky High Saunders” is a breath taking mile-a-minute thriller through the full five reels. Not a dull mo- ment in the whole show is reported. Al's performance in this picture ads more weight to the claims of his thousands of fans that he is the greatest air acrobat in the pro- fession. Just one of the thrilling secenes is a real fight on the wing of a plane two thousand feet in the air, COMPENSATION REPORT TO BE MADE CHAMBER The Legislative Committee's re- port on the Alaska Compensation Act will be made to the Chamber of qommeme tomorrow at its regu- lar . weekly noon luncheon meeting at the Arcade Cafe, it was an- nounced .today by President H.

Parks left here June 1, by plane and landed in the Oakland airport on the same day. He spent | two weeks on the coast, most of | the time in San Francisco. He visited his parents, Mr James Parks, route to Washington return to the coast. Heat Is Overwhelming Heat in the East was extreme, said the Governor. In Washington jeveryone who could do so had sought cooler climates. The Presi- dent, however, was sticking to the capital and was working hard on his Farm Relief program and other important matters. The Governor found the hot weather unusually oppressive. In the first few days there, he lost five pounds in weight. “I wasn't really comfortable until I got back on the West coast and it is a real pleasure and relief to get back home,” he said. Not Talking Appointment Gov. Parks had nothing to say relative to the Alaska gubernatorial situation. His visit to Washington, he said, was on departmental busi- ness and not connected with pol- itics, Any announcement relative to the Alaska Governorship ap- pointment, he said, naturally must come from Washington. His own four-year term expired on June 15, last, but he doesn't seem to be worrying about that fact nor the future. .- ALASKA TRADE and on his | Chain Store Owner Reports Business in Territory on Sound Basis Business conditions in Alaska seems sound and at least normally good, said F. 8. Gordon, head of |Gordon’s Incorporated, operating stores in five Alaska towns and in Seattle. He arrived here today on his annual visit to look over his two local stores and will remain |several days. Generally speaking, Mr. Gordon said, business this year has not been disappointing. His own firm has experienced a growth in sales in the aggregate. Some of them have not done as well as last year, but others have advanced their sales to cover these declines. Gordon’s Incorporated operates two stores in Juneau, a women's apparel business and Gordon's Gift Shop, specializing in children’s wear, gift articles and novelties. “Our local business has been good and we are gratified at the pros- perity of the community that it reflects,” he declared togay. He commended the municipal authorities on the improvements being made in the construction of permanent streets and sidewalks, and was impressed with the air of growth and progress evidenced by the consfruction of new buildings. Mr. Gordon has just completed his inspection of stores operated by his company at Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward. WHO’S WHO AND WHERE | Dr. R. F.
