It is a task that calls for unity of thought of Al- aska's “best minds,” and a unity of purpose of all Alaskans. “No one man is big enough to solve Alaska's problems,” he said. The Chambers of Commerce in the various towns in Alaska are intimately acquainted with the needs of Alaska. By all of Lh(‘m‘ functioning together as one solid | body they could accomplish won-| ders Alaska has the resources. It can support an immense popu- lation. It can export vast quan- tities of products. But it will need . capital and hard work and iness and executive ability to put these over. This can best be done through the aid of a’ Ter- ritorial Chamber of Commerce,' with the right man to represent A PERFORMANCE THAT HAS MADE THE NATION TALK AT THE TONIGHT 7:30—9:30 |it the States. Alaska has passed the pioneer- ting stage. It must develop be- yond the occasional and seasonable occupation and payroll stage. It' must provide all the year round employment. It has the natural resources to do this once the ne- cessary capital can be enlisted to undertake enterprises on a whole-/ sale plan.

Yet never beforeshas he done it with the fin- esse he exhibits in his latest pic- ture, his first talkie, “Welcome Dan- ger,” 4t the Coliseum tonight, his first picture in a year and a half. | “Welcome Danger” relates a story that with but a few twists, could have heen developed into a thriller of the' first water. Lloyd retains the thrill elements, the mystery and the rofpance of the drama, but adds laugh after laugh to the story by little fwists of his own. “Welcome Danger” relates the experignces of a boy whose avoca- tion i§ botany, and who suddenly, finds iimself a detective in under-| ground Chinatown trying to out- wit wiy Chinamen who have baf-| fled the police of San Francisco. | Lloyd«portrays the son of a fa- mous 'Golden Gate police officer, who passes on, assuming he has! left the world a legacy in the form of a great law-enforcing son.

COHAN’S FAMOUS BROADWAY HIT IS AT PALACE In a role he chose himself from among all available dramatic ma-‘ terial, Richard Dix comes to the| screen of the Palace Theatre be- ginning tonight. As the hero-novelist of “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” Dix begins his new career as a star of Radio Pic- tures. It is an auspicious start, giving Dix a part he had long long- ed to play, and fulfilling his prom- ise to top the best of his brilliant career. The talking screen drama, adapt- ed from the sensationally success- ful George M. Cohan play, which was based in turn on Earl Derr Biggers' novel presents Dix as a writer who encounters an amazing night of adventure in a deserted inn while in the quest of a place of solitude in which to work. Two veterans of the Broadway Carleton Macy, re-enact their parts cast are Miriam Seegar, DeWitt Jennings, Margaret Livingston, l1u-! cien Littlefield, Crauford Kent, Nel- | la Walker, Joseph Herbert, Allen Roscoe, Harvey Clark and Edith Yorke, New thrills and laughs have been | added to the classic farce melo-| Rgginald Barker. “Hunt the Tiger,” another sensa-| tiopal dialog novelty with News and Movietone sound novelty, will| be shown as added attractions.
