Overheard gossip which dubs her as simply “fancy baggage,” is the spur that sends 50 cents—Loges 60 cents " TIMES ODDITY 10 cents—20 cents 50 cents Loges 60 cents story but the scenarist has departed from the original premise and with endless ramifications impossible to stage limits has provided enough happenings in the old spook dwel- ling to satisfy a whole regiment of mystery lovers. Admirable work is done by the cast under the capable direction of Eenjamin Christensen. Chester # | Conkiin, long and favorably known as a laugh master, provided an amazing lot of fun in his role of the henpecked husband forced by his shrewish wife to enter the haunted house in search of a hid- den fortune. Thelma Todd, blond- 1y beautiful, is the heroiné; Monta- gu Love is a mad ‘doctor.

Audrey Ferris plays the heroine and the exotic Myrna Loy her rival. Hallam Cooley portrays an ingrati- ating and amorous youth, who is usually in a state of mild intoxi- cation. Wallace MacDonald gives a manly interpretation of the other lover, who has 'a ruugh-nnd-tumblel fight with Eddie Gribbon, chief of the rum runners, who also has an eye for the pretty flapper. The three greatest interpreters of lov- able old-man-grouches are promi- nently cast—George Fawcett, Ed- mund Breese and Burr McIntosh. The story is by Jerome Kingston, the scenario by C. Graham Baker.

P The reckless abandon with which the " jagz-crazed ' youth of today fling themselves into the mad chase aftér ‘the iftusive “good time” 1s vividly depicted in “The Road to Ruin” which will be the bill at the Palace theatre on Friday and Saturday. Jazz and gin, sex and sensuality, cars parked on shady lanes, sporty roadhouses, wild strip ‘poker’ par- ties, are among the highlights of [Juneau, and after leaving here en- this most unusual picture, which graphically illustrates the terrible results of parental neglect and ig- norance in ‘handling of modern youth. “The Road to Ruin” is up to the minute, and as Sall Fanfield, exotic Helen Foster, a new screen lumi- nary, gives an astonishingly realistic portrayal of the errant flapper. *[Others of especial note in the cast are vivacious Virginia Roye, Grant | | Withers, Tommy Carr, Turner and Charles Miller. The special added atfraction will be “Kings of the Ring,” a fast moving fight film with thrills and action aplenty. One of the big moments of this picture is the knockcut round between Uzeudun, § the Basque wood-chopper and the | glant negro Harry Wills. |known threughout Florence f fessor Graf in Seattle. He is one of the best harpists en the Pacific Coast and is in ‘the BSeattle Bym- | | phony Orchestra. i Miss Graves has proved to be a most apt pupil for she is well- | Washingtcn, state having appeared profession- | ally in all the large citiés and also | having broadcast over radio sta- | tions In Seattle. i The harp is‘one of the most dif- | ficult of instruments to master and | for this reason very few harpists | are ‘in the United States. ~ It is believed that ‘Miss Graves 1s the only accredited harpist in Alaska. | She attended grammar school 1“5 University of Washington and has| , tered the Seattle High School where she was a stiident for three | years. She graduated from Hally- wood High School and considers herself very fortunate to have been| able to attend this decidedly pro- gressive and well-known institution | of learning. !
