PALACE |- TONIGHT NEW YORK STAGE HIT IS COMING . tensely dramatic role of Pearl, the revue girl, in “Broadway,” the Uni- versal super-film of the sensational New York play which comes to the Palace soon, believes that big scenes inevitably make big pic- tures. And in “Broadway,” she says, there is possibly the biggest scene which she has ever played. “Of course,” she said, “I certainly don’t mean that the scene is so big because I happened to play it, but that any actress would con- sider herself fortunate to have it to play. It is the scene where Pearl kills Steve Crandall— the thunderbolt of the story as it ap- peared on the stage.” ‘Two sorts of big scenes, accord- |ing to Miss Brent, are necessary to | make a big picture; big spectacular scenes and big emotional scenes. Both being in the story, she says it is almost impossible for- the pic- ture to fall short of greatness. MINES OUTPUT IN 1929 GAINS OVER $2,000,000 | Mines in Alaska produced $16- 1066,000 worth of minerals in 1929, as against $14,061,000 in 1928, ac- {cording to an announcement mads by the Interior Department through the Geological Survey.

At most of the placer camps whoge successful operation depends on an and other purposes there was |ers and other sources were main- /tained at a good stage. The year, so far as concerns the opening and closing of the outdoor work- ing season, was essentially normal. The output of gold was distribut- ed between lodes and placers ap- proximately in the proportion of 47 to 53, or $3,644,000 from lodes and $4,117,000 from placers. The producing gold lodes are widely cistributed through various parts of the Territory, but more than 95 per cent of the output cam: from lodes in Southeast Alaska, where accessibility to deep-water routes of communication and othgr favorable conditions have permitr ted the successful mining of im- mense tonnages of low-grade gali ore. Gain in Placer ‘The output of piacer gold WAS nearly three quarters of a millioa dollars larger than in 1928. Hun- dreds of camps contributed to the output, but those in the Yukon Basin contributed the greatest amount and those in the Seward Peninsula came next. More than 70 per cent of the total placer production of the Territory was mined by dredges, of which thers were 30 active during 1929—12 in feward Peninsula, 17 in the camps in the Yukon Valley, and 1 in the Kuskokwim Valley. Together these dredges produced gold to the value ot $2932,000 . They are estimated to have handled about ' 8,709,600 cubic yards of gravel, and the gold recovered was worth about 33 2-3 cents a cubic yard. Two new dredges were built during the year, and three old dredges that had Lbeen idle during 1928 were again active, | The output of copper in 1929 was nearly 911,000 pounds less than in 11928, though because of the in- creased selling price its value was $1,165,000 greater than in the earl- ier year. Practically the whole of the Alaska copper comes from three mines operated by the Ken- necott Copper Corporation, two of which are in the Copper Riven re- gion and one on Latouche Island, in Prince William Sound. The ore At Theatres LIVELY COMEDY IN “HOUSE OF HORRORS” A AR A T Good cinema mystery thril.ers are rare, and when they are go\d they are about as fide entertain- ment as the sr ‘een can offer. That is wb' - no one with a lean- ing towald eerie entertainment |3 should miss “The House of Hor- ror,” First National attraction, at |2 the Palace. Tie picture has more than mys- tery thrills to offer, however, for it is also a lively comedy, thanks to tile efforts of Louise Fazenda and Chester Conklin, the famous fun- sters at the head of the cast. Love passages of a novel sort are also present, with handsome young James Ford, a leading man new but promising, and Thelma Todd, a blonde purveyor of pulchritude who holds the eye and the imagi- nation, in the lovers’ roles. William V. Mong, William Orla- mond, Emile Chautard, Dale Fuller, | Tenen Holtz and other well-known character artists in grotesque make- up, terrorize the lovers and the comedy leads and weave the sinis- «der part of the mystery plot. “WHY LEAVE HOME” SHOWING, COLISEUM e R Ly With each new talking picture that makes its appearance, the + film industry proves it is advanc- ing in giant strides. The latest microphonic recorded achievement of Fox Movietone to delight loeal| fans is “Why Leave Home?” the first musical comedy to reach the speaking screen, which opened to . . w s . .* at the Coliseum. Bubbling with a never ending stream of delightful humor, and containing an ear: haunting group of song numbers, that proved irre- sistible, “Why Leave Home?" is one of the most entertaining all talking, singing and dancing pictures this theatre has shown. It is an adap- tation of the well known stage success, “Cradle Snatchers,” and is even funnier in the screen’ version than it was in the footlight produc- tion. Walter Catlett. repeats his stage success sharing the leading honors with Ste Carrol and Nick Stuart.

Al Silver Is By Product None of the Alaska ores arc| mined solely for. their silver con- tent, but considerable silver is re- covered from the ores of gold and copper as & minor constituent. In| 1929 siiver to the value of ‘$187,400 was recovered from the copper or $50,300 from the gold lode or and $14,300 from the placer gold; the total was 472,900 ounces, having slight falling off in value from 1928, which is atributable to the lower selling price of silver, for more than 18,000 ounces greater .n | 11929, ‘The lead produced from Alaska ores in 1929 amounted to $2,630,000 pounds, which at the average sell-| ing price of lead for the year was | worth $166,000. This marks the largest output and highest value| for the lead productjon from Allskm: fince this metal was first produced | in the Territory. Most of the lead| was recovered as a by-product in connection with the mining of goid| ores in Southeast Alaska. ! Coal to the yalue of $528,000 was | prpduced from « Alaska mines in 1629, principally. in the. Matanuska énd Healy River fields. This was ¢ decrease from the high mark at- tained in 1028 but has-been gxceed- | gd in only three years in the en- tire period that coal mining has keen in progress. No Alaska coal| is exported, but 32,762 tons was jmported from the Statés, chiefly from Washington, and 24,172 tons| from foreign coutnries, chlenvi British Columbia, so that the: total | gomestic consumption in, 1929 amounted to approximately 157,500 tons. Other Minerals Mined Among the mineral products that| entered less largely into the Al- aska mineral industry in 1929 may be mentioned tin, petroleum, ‘plat- inum metals, marble, limestone for cement ,and quicksilyer. The tia showed a decrease of about 15 per cent for 1928. The total value of the other products was $194,000, o about $30,000 more than they brought in 1928. The foregoing facts are taken from a report of the Geological Survey, entitled “Mineral Industry of Alaska in 1029,” which was prepared by Philip S. Smith, dnd is now in course of publicatiort And which will form one of the series of similar reports that the Geo- logical Burvey has issued to de- scribe the progress oi Alaska min- ing in each year since 1904.
