This is the setting for “Stark Mad,” the Warner Bros. latest talkie special production, at the Coliseum tonight. A man who ventured to penetrate into the most feared section of this vast region disappeared as if by magic, and his father, havifig organized a searching party of {friends, drops anchor at the point where he landed on the wooded coast—though it is later found out that the boy has been killed. The adventures which follow are nothing if not hair-raising. After landing and forcing their way into the shadowy recesses of the strange swamp lands, they came upon the ancient ruins of a Mayan temple and night finds them camped within its crumbling walls, and their bloodhounds baying dismally at unseen terrors. A gigantic ape, which eventually is discovered, plays a gruesome part in the thril- ling adventures of the time though the tremors and qualms of the timid spinster, Miss Fleming, make the terrors ludicrous. “Stark Mad” was directed by Lloyd Bacon, and includes in its all-star cast H.

It 1s |the first time a Juneau audience has had the opportunity of hear- {ing Miss Burns for three years and :shc was greeted by a spontaneous Iburst of applause when she appear- ed on the stage. The audience |expressed its appreciation by con- itinued applause after each group of songs, and called repeatedly for |encores, with which the gifted {artist was most generous. Five Groups of Songs There were five groups of songs, representing practically every type. from the simple ballad to the more technical opera airs. The group which was enjoyed, perhaps, more than any other was made up of three southern airs composed by Mrs. A. W. Radford, wife of Commander A. W. Radford who is in command of the Alaska Aerial Survey Detachment here. Mrs. Radford graciously accompan- jled Miss Burns in this group. As an encore they gave, “Raining,” a delightful little thing which Mrs. Radford composed in a few minutes several days ago, and dedicated to Miss Burns. The songs in this group were truly southern in their harmonies and melodies, and showed that they B. Walthall, Lionel Belmore, Claude {had been written by one familiar Gillingwater, Andre Beranger, John Miljan, Warner Richmond and Floyd Shackelford. KEN MAYNARD IS AT | PALACE, CIRCUS MOVIE | et e 2 e “The Wagon Show,” a western picture with a circus background, a story combining the thrills, ro- mance, daring stunts and trick rid- ing of the two, is Ken Maynard's latest feature, which comes to the Palace tonight. This unusual departure from the regular western picture fulfills a long standing ambition of Maynard for he spent many years as premier stunt rider with Barnum and Bai- ley, Ringling Brothers® circuses, and ever since he made his entry into pictures he has wanted to make ong dealing with the circus and its peaple. “The Wagon Show” is the result, and so far has it surpassed cven Charles R. Rogers, the pro- ducer and First National expecta- tions, that it has been released as a Ken Maynard special. The story has not been taken from any novel or published story, but was written expressly for May- nard and depicts a small one-ring circus traveling through Montana and Wyoming during the settlers’ days. It deals not only with the romantic glamor that always ac- companies a tent show, but with the struggles and trials these people of the sawdust trail endured. The entire plot has been packed with the daring and thrilling stunts for which Ken has become world-fa- mous. The entire story has been buiit upon a solid foundation of fact and carries a real surprise ————— BOXERS ATTENTION All boxers to participate Brown at Pioneer Barber Shop. with the negro music. In the first group, Tes Yeux, by Rabey, and The Russian Nightin- gale, offered Miss Burns an oppor- tunity to show her perfect tech- nique, the wide range of her voice, and showed her to be an artist in every sense of the word. Miss Burns was perfectly accom- panied by Mrs. Fern Vance who is herself, an accomplished artist. In the second group of songs, the “Prayer Perfect” wiich was very legato, showed, perhaps more than any other selection, the abso- lute control, Miss Burns has. “The Longest and Shortest Day,” by Tur- per-Malley, was lovely, as sung by Miss Burns, with her rich, appeal- ing voice. The fourth group was made up of more popular ballads, “Alone,” “Lover, Come Back, to Me,” and “Silver Moon.”. While the more difficult airs, showed the perfect technique and training of Miss Burns’ voice to greater advantage, there is a warmth and sweetness to it that makes it particularly appealing when she sang the fa- miliar ballads. As an encore after the last group Miss Burns sang: “Be The Best of What You Are” and as a final ‘encore, she gave “The Last Rose of Summer.” . Shows Dramatic Ability Miss Burns sings with ease and vivacity and shows her dramatic ability in adapting her manner to the type of song. She was love- ly in a white chiffon gown, the bodice of which was covered with sequins, and carried a bouquet of roses which were presented to her during the evening. Entertained At Reception After the concert, Dr. and Mrs. C. P. Jenne entertained at a re- ception in honor of Miss Burns. Among those invited were, Lieut.- Commander and Mrs. A. W. Rad- ford, Dr. and Mrs. Howé Vance, the Rev. and Mrs. C. E. Rice, Dr. adv./and Mrs. L. P. Dawes, Mr. t.ndlLlst publication, Aug. 5, 1929. Daisy Wilder, Mr. and Mrs. Winn Goddard, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

Mrs. Radford played and sang several of her own compositions, which were greatly enjoyed, partic- ula one which she called, “The Di; Washing Blues.” The Misses Rae Stevens, Muriel | Jarman and Frances Harland, as-| sisted in serving, and Mrs. Bern-| hofer presided at the coffee urn. | SHIPMENTS IN JULY SMALLER THAN IN 1928 (Total of $4,783,999 Is Slightly Below that for Same Month, 1928 | Commodity “shipmente, exclusive | of gold and silver, from Alaska to| the States last month aggregated $4,196,826, of whch $4,021,640 repre- sented Alaskan products, $169,963 returned products of the United States and $5,223 foreign goods. |Gold and silver shipments brought the total for the month to $4,-; 783,999, ] These figures were made public| today by J.
