THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE THURSDAY AUG. 1, 1929. — PALACE Closed for General Repairs and New Furnishings Watch for Opening Date BIG MOVIE FEATURE ~|Portland . Attractions At Theatres N TRIAL” SCREEN WINS IN REVIVAL Beside the notable cast, which in- cludes Pauline Frederick, Bert Ly- tell, Lois Wilson, Holmes Herbert, Johnny Arthur, Jason Robards, Vondell Darr, Fred Kelsey, Richard Tucker and Franklin Pangborn, over two hundred persons are seen in the courtroom and murder trial scenes of Warner Bros. murder mystery talkie special, “On Trial" now playing at the Coliseum. “On Trial” was one of the great stage success of Broadway, and enjoyed phenomenal success on tour. Elmer Rive, its author, was a law clerk whose familiarity with criminal procedure made it possi- ble for him to write this master- plece—was made independently rich by it. It was*the first play to make use of the motion picture “flash- back”"—which caused a furore in the theatrical world. ~The manner of the stage play made it especially suited to the screen. SEAPLANES ARE POPULAR MEANS OF TRANSPORT Returning at 6:30 a.n. today from Wrangell, where it went last eve- ning with O. D. Leet and Karl Theile as passengers, the Alaska- Washington Airways seaplane Ket- chikan, piloted by Anscel Eckmann, began a busy day flying in this vicinity, which will terminate late today with a trip to Ketchikan. Mr. Eckmann plans to continue to Seattle in the Ketchikan tomor- row and return to Juneau on Sat- urday. H. 8. Graves, Warren Wilson and H. R. Shepard made an hour and a half trip in the Ketchikan this morning to a lake just west of the Canadian border, returning to Juneau at 10:30 o'clock, after which the seaplane went to Port Althorp to take August Buschman on a tour of the canneries of the Alaska-Pacific Salmon Corporation in this district. After his return from Port Al- thorp, Mr. Eckmann will take Mrs. F. A. Metcalf and Miss Mary Met- calf to Excursion Inlet, return to Juneau and leave from here for the First City. The Ketchikan made a round trip to Sitka yesterday afternoon with B. M. Behrends and Ben Mullen making the trip both ways, and Miss J. Porter returning here for a few days’ visit. While in Sitka Mr. Eckmann made a short passenger hop. Brings Out Prospectors Late yesterday afternoon Floyd Keadle piloted the Ketchikan to a lake beyond the Canadian border to bring out William McKenna and W. Dickinson, who had been taken in two weeks ago for a prospecting trip. Seaplane Juneau Leaves With H. B. Friele, Vice-President of the Nakat Packing Company, and M. M. Houck, Assistant General Manager of the same company, the seaplane Juneau, pilot Floyd Kea- dle, left for Ketchikan this morn- ing, and will probably continue to Seattle today. .Mr. Friele and Mr. Houck came to Juneau on the sea- plane yesterday on company busi- ness. — o Ore-Crushing Machine Turns Slag to Profit KANSAS CITY, K&s Aug. 1.—A machine to crush and analyze low grade ore and slag has been in- vented here to extract valuable minerals from smelter refuse.

H. Metzgar,| General Superintendent of the Al-| aska Juneau Gold Mining Com- pany, who, after conferences with| the Executive Committee of the| Chamber and Maj. Malcolm El- liott, District Engineer, devised the scheme. ! The cost of carrying out the| program would be divided between| the City, Government bureaus using | the floats and the Alaska Juneau.| The cost to the City, it was stated' by H. L. Faulkner, President, would be about $5,000 instead of from' $12,000 to $15,000 as originally esti-| mated. Nature of Program Briefly, as outlined by Mr. Metz~‘ gar, the plan would necessitate moving the approach to the present | lower float down the channel clos- | er to the rock duymp; grading of approaches along the face of the,| dump, moving the present floats off the wharf site of the Alaska | Juneau and adding such floats as| are needed. This, Mr. Metzgar said, “will| give all of the facilities needed | for small boats at present and provide room for expansion to meet | all local requirements for a long time to come.” Final distribution of costs, he added, has yet to be worked out. Detailed plans are being drafted. The City and Chamber of Com- merce, he declared, can rest as- sured that this matter will be| taken care of in a manner satis- factory to all interested parties. Marine Ways Coming Arthur Anderson, owner of the Anderson Boat Shop of Wrangell, is coming to Juneau to establish a marine ways in the near future, | E. M. Goddard told the Chamber today. He is operating a similar business at Wrangell very success- fully and plans to expand by open- ing here. He will have charge of the local plant. An expression of appreciation was received by the Chamber from Mrs. William Ogilvie for its reso- lution of regret at the death of her brother, the late Gen. Wilds Pres- ton Richardson. Gen. Richardson, she said, had given the best years of his life and energy to working in and for Alaska and had the: utmost faith in its future growth| and prosperity. The Cordova and Anchorage! Chambers of Commerce advised the | local Chamber they have joined it in urging the Treasury Depart- ment to use Alaska marble in the construction of the Territorial Cap- itol building in this city. The Anchorage body also urged the use of Alaska birch for interior fin- ishing. Amounts Bid Received A list of the bids submitted on the building were received during the past week by the chamberl from Delegate Sutherland without comment as to when the contract! might be expected to he‘awarded. These follows: N. P. Severin Com- pany, Chicago, $712,200, and $25,- 000 additional if Alaska marble should be used; Charles Weitz Sons, Des Moines, $736,000 and $29,700 addition; Chrisman & Snyder, Se- attle, $746,500 and $23,400 addition- al; Wm.

Nelson, well known property owner of Juneau, changed the plans for the building being Construction Company for him on Streets, by adding a third floor to the original plans, which called for a two-story building. The top floor will be made into five attractive, single and double | apartments, according to J. A. Eck- er, superintendent of construction. The addition of a third floor will | add about $18,000 to the $37,000 in- vestment, Mr. Nelson is making in the new building.

Before he left Juneau Mr. Bavard was associated’ with his brother, N. Pavard, owner of the California Grocery Store, here. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bavard are welcomed back to Juneau by the many friends made during their years of resi- dence here. - e BRYANT MAKES TOUR OF INTERIOR DISTS. A. W. Bryant, pioneer Ketchikan business man, who is here for a few days’ visit for the first time in sev- eral years, has just completed a tour which took him over a large part of the Territory. It was his first trip to the interior and he was delighted with it. Mr. Bryant went north via Skag- way, Whitehorse and Dawson. Thence down the Yukon River to Tanana, up the Tanana River to Fairbanks and out to the coast over the Alaska Railroad. He arrived here yesterday on the steamer Alas- ka.

Miss Burns was in Juneau several years ago and her concerts at that time were thoroughly enjoyed, not only because she is a real Alaska woman, but a concert singer of in- ternational renown and she proved it to the most critical.

Miss Burns' program at the' Coli- seum Monday night will be one that all can enjoy and she is at present arranging just such a feature en- tertainment. One surprise will be sprung and that will be a group of songs com- posed and arranged by Mrs. A. W. Radford, now in Juneau with her husband, of the Alaska Aerial Ex- pedition. Mrs. Radford has dedi- cated the selections to Miss Burns, and will play the accompaniment herself. The accompanist of the evening, on all other selections, wili be Mrs. Fern Vance. Miss Burns and Mrs. Vance have just returned to Juneau frém Skag- way, where a concert was given last week and at the urgent request of the people of that town, a second concert was given and another large audience proclaimed:the artist, who for years lived there among them. ————— Dell E.
