The West Coast was searched for a suitable location for this ambi- tious - production, and it was at length discovered that a great bridge was being erected near Pax- ton, California, where the company spent two weeks. Those making the trip include not only Monte Blue and May Mc- Avoy, but thew: eniire supporting cast of principals, comprising Kath- 1yn Carver, William Desmond, Wil- liam H.

This clever girls band came to Juneau heralded as the most versatile girls band on the Pacific Coast, and after viewing two of their sparkling bills one can easily see how they gained this reputation. Last night’s program was an intricate one and deserves much praise. “That's My Weakness Now,” was the opening number. It gave each af the girls instrumental solos, and afforded Vivian Lewis another chance to put over a comedy chor- Js. “Sleepy Waters,” an Indian number, was the next on the pro- gram, and this difficult program was played with clarity and beauty. “Nobody Cares” a blues number, gave Faye Tolliver, the drummer, a tiumpet solo and an opportunity to dispiay ner talent as a blues singer. “Pagan Love Song,” the number swept the country by storm n introduced by Ramon Navar- 10 in a recent picture, was put over in typical San -Su Strutter marmer. Pat Goodlow, who plays 5axo- phone and clarinet, sapg a cherus of “Walking Around in a Dream” in a pleasing manner, “Breakaway” Blue plays the part | & Ianother difficult number, and tk theme song of the “Follies of 1929 | was offered in a manner to justify its popularity. For the dosm:z 1number Vivian Lewis:and Faye Tol- |iver did a clever waltz clog to the |old reliable tune of “The Sidewalks | of New York.” Especial mention should be made |of El Dean Travis, the pianist of | | this “organization. Miss Tra | | who is a brilliant and accomplished { musician, adds much to the ar- tistry of their presentation. The same bill will be repeated tonight, and by popular demand the San Su-Strutters will be held over for Sunday and Monday of next week, when they will offer another novelty bill with a change of cos- tume. “His Dog” is the movie feature and with the good cast of humans and a most intelligent dog, is one of the cleverest screen offerings seen for some time. REGINALD DENNY IS AT PALACE SUNDAY | Reginald Denny, Universal's pop- ular comedy star, tops all his for- mer suecessful performances in “Good Morning Judge,” the swift- est moving and most entertaining picture of his career, which will be shown at the Palace Theatre be- ginning Sunday. Denny, filmdom's hest-known farceur, has a role that fits' him perfectly. He is Freddie Grey,| young qnd wealthy, who falls in love with the owner of a mission for reformed criminals. The -star’s| ability at comedy was never better shewn than in this film.
