It is a thrilling melodra- matic production, rich in romance, power and entertainment values. A lavish display of sets, crowds,| music, comedy and a sincere ro- mance laid in that picturesque belt |of New York City known as Tin Pan Alley, were intelligently wov- en into a pleasing whole by Lewis Milestone, comedy director. Lively Story, Good Plot “New York Nights” is a lively story with a logical and under- standing plot pleasingly presented As the background to this plot is laid the glamorous night life of | the most famous street in the world, with its song writers, chorus girls and sinister racketeers. As “Jill,” the chorus girl wife of “Fred Deverne,” played by Gil- bert Roland, Miss Talmadge cre-| ates a character of delightful ap- peal and paradoxical moods—a character part whimsy, part pathos and thoroughly real. { Mr. Roland, who plays opposite the star, does excellently in the difficult role of Fred Deverne, a and the only worthwhile song he ever wrote for a drink of booze. Sinister Partner Role John Wray, is an excellent “Joc Prividi,” a sinister partner of thel underworld.

When the movies claimed Claudette she persauded Para- mount to give her husband a con- tract, tod, so that they could be to- gether even on the lot. Is that| wifely devotion or not? i It has often been said that be- ing together continuously destroys the delicate fabric that is marriage. | But it hasn't been so in the case of Alfred Hunt and Lynne Fontaine. For they invariably appear in the same Theatre Guild offerings and their devotion offstage is just as intense. Each is the other's best| booster. Of another generation. E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, were everywhere hailed as a per- fect example of domestic harmony in the theatre. They are still just as devoted to each other and are a happy instance of a couple who have walked the road of life to- gether and found 4he going all the pleasanter for each other's com- panionship. Then, too, there are the Coburns who have worked to- gether and been happily married for, lo, these many years. Recently Victor Moore, the coms=! edian, and his wife, Emma Lit~ tlefield, celebrated their silver| wedding anniversary. They, too, have always appeared in vaude-: ville together until quite recently. | HOLLYWOOD'S LIFE SEEN ON SCREEN HERE Alice White Stars in **Show Girl” at Coliseum This Evening Take a trip through the First National Studio and all the famous places of Hollywood! This is the advice broadcast by the management of the Coliseum Theatre, where “Show Girl in Hol- lywood,” First National's amusing screen drama of the film capital, with Alice White and Jack Mul- hall, opens tonight. Mervyn LeRoy, in directing the J. P. McEvoy story, took his com- pany on location to many of the far-famed spots of Hollywood and vicinity. When not working on the studio Jot he took scenes showing the gayest and most celebrated rendezvous and night life resorts of the celluloid metropolis. Glamorous Cafe Life The glamorous Montmartre Cafe, the Hollywood Theatre, Hollywood ! Boulevard, Beverly Hills, the hill- side bungalows, and other charac- terist features are a background for the drama of little Dixie Du- gan, played by Alice White, who |tries to make good in pictures. LeRoy takes audiences for a peep inside the projection rooms, the mixer’s booth, back of the sets and cameras, and an electrician’s eye view of picture making. He even makes a film as part of the story which is shown projected in a preview at a Hollywood theatre. Keeps To Story He remains faithful to McEvoy’s story throughout. Dixie, a Broad- way girl, tries for success in talk- ies. 8he fails at first, but just at the bitterest moment every- thing comes to her at once. Har- vey. Thew and James A. Starr adapted the story and wrote the dialogue. Blanche Sweet has a prominent talking role. Ford Sterling and Jochn Miljan are also in the cast. There are several musical se- quences in Technicolor. And then there’s Mr, and Mrs. Florenz Ziegfeld. Mrs. Flo, the; winsome Billle Burke, has found her greatest happiness in the com- ter, Patrica. To see them all to- gether at the Ziegfeld home at Hastings-on-the-Hudson is to know | that theatrical people have found | the key to domestic happiness. Theatrical divorces may be newsj but happiness in the theatre world is certainly no novelty. -, — I am most delighted at the in-} terest so many young people are jtaking in dramatic work. Our first play is now in the process of preparation and will be produced at one of the leading show houses in a few weeks. I am giving les- sons free for this first play so that the people of Juneau may see what the work is like. I could use one more young man in this cast. Any young man interested, please call to see me at 206 Main St. —adv. MRS. MABEL RANUM. —l ANNUAL D. F. D.
