LEGION SHOW TONIGHT AT COLISEUM ‘Cappy Ricks’ Will Be Pre- sented—Director Dodge Says Cast Is Fine Tonight will mark the debut of the comedy “Cappy Ricks” in the city of Juneau, and the great de- mand for tickets indicates that all those participating edy will play to capacity hous Sanford Dodge, professional di: rector and.actor, stated this morn-, ing that the cast, individually and| collectively, had rehearsed conscien- | tiously for the past few weeks an » | had thoroughly mastered the varied and difficult roles. He also added that he found the members of the cast to be a -particularly talented' group of actors and that he was! more than pleased with the pro- aress made in enacting some of the most difficult scenes. duration was held yesterday ‘after- noon on the Coliseum stage and with the addition of a few finish- ing touches everything is now all set and ready to go. and the lighting are under the cap- able direction of E. M. Polley and Ned Lemieux. The building of some special scenery and the in- stallation of appropriate lighting will help make the production both artistic and iateresting. Those who have enjoyed “Cappy Ricks” in the past, either on the screen or on the stage, and those who have never had the opportunity, will find in this production a real dramatic treat. The play itself is wholesome, peppy comedy and is based upon that famous character immortalized in story by Peter B. Kyne and in drama by E. H. Rose. A delicate love story of a boy and girl who try to put something over on the old ‘man runs - through the play. The clever way in which the char- acters are portrayed is one of the best ‘and most outstanding parts of the play. Muriel ‘Jarman, Homer G. Nord- ling, Hazel Petrich, Frank Metcalf; W. J. Leivers, Edward Herrmann, Edna Polley, Harry Stonehouse, and Sanford ' Dedge are members of} the cast and, aceording to Mr. Dodge, it is one of the best casts he has ever had for the play. In addition to the play itself, Miss Aleece Graves will entertain the audience by rendering several love- ly selections on the harp. Miss Graves, who is a local girl, is a The Northland is stinngifted and charming harpist and music lovers of Juneau are being given a rare treat in hearing her to- night and tomorrow night. Frederick Dobler and Albert King will also present a novelty banjo act which is well worth hearing. Dick McGinn, organist at the Coli- seum, will play a medley overture consisting of appropriate sea-going |melodies, thereby making the eve- ning well balanced with real good comedy, music of high character, and novelty music never beforé heard in Juneau. The curtain will rise at 8:15 gharp tonight and tomorrow. night at the Coliseum Theatre.

The |erew of three men, with one wo- an and three men passengers, | were all drowned. The plane was flying from Alex- andria, Egypt, to Genoa where it would have transferred the four | | passengers to another plane for ! London. |ATTACKED BY BROWN | | BEAR AND KILLS IT Nick Poolas, oldtime prospector |and trapper, had a narrow escape |the other day when he was charged by a large brown bear in the vicin- ity of Funter Bay. While returning from a prospect- | ing trip in Excursion Inlet, Poolas| and two other men stopped at Fun- | I,er Bay to spend a short time deer | hunting. Poolas started up a near- | by creek and the other two men went in the opposite direction and‘ followed the beach. As he round- ed ‘a turn in the creek, Poolas icame face to face with a large| brown bear and, as his only weapon consisted of a 30-30 Winchester | rifle, he decided not to take any | shots at it but turned and slowly | . walked away trusting that the bear would not attack him. However, “ the bear started after him and so Poolis cressed the creek, which was quite deep and as he reached the other bank he saw that the bear was close on his heels. As the animal reached the middle of the creek, Poolas took three shots at it but none of them stopped its progress and only served to madden it. Poolas then hid behind a tres jtrunk which the bear charged and jdemolished with: one sweep of ‘its huge paw. Four more shots were then fired before the bear was killed. ————— METAL HINGES FOR BONES ARE APPROVED BY FRENCH | PARIS, Oct. 28—Man and not nature is blamed for the indiffer- ent success surgeons have had in llommg badly broken bones with metal. Before the Academy of Medicine, Dr. Pierre Bazy presented the re- search work of two colleagues whose years of effort were said to have proven that nature will utilize man’s metal devices if the work is well done. Dr. Contremoulin, an x-ray ex-| pert, and Dr. Maurice Robineau found that surgeons usually placed wires, rods and plates on broken bones with too little regard for the sclence of engineering and general- ily failed to fasten the metal wel' SCHEDULE FOR | ELKS BOWLING Mixed Tournament to Be Started on Alleys _ Thursday Night The following is the schedule for the mixed bowling tournament to b ted between 14 teams on the Elks' alleys next Thursday night, the first games to be rolled at 7:15 o'clock and the second games at 9 o'clock on the various nights: October 31, Thursday—Skagway i Petersburg vs Cordova. 1, Friday—Valdez vs November 2, Saturday—Taku vs Hyder.
