CAPITOL BILLS CRIMINAL CODE FOR TOMORROW Peace Officers and Other Officials Praise Prison Play “Criminal Code,” starring Walter Huston, will follow “Beau Ideal” with Ralph Forbes in the leading role, at the Capitol theatre. “Beau | Ideal” will be shown for the last times tonight. “The Criminal Code,” which be- gins tomorrow night, was awarded the Theatre Club Trophy as the stage play for 1929. It is a signal triumph as a screan pro- duction. A preview of the play, which was given at the Capitol theatre last Saturday afterncon by Manager Eric Paulson, was witnessed by sev- eral peace officers and a few other government officials. All agreed the production is an exceptional, outstanding attraction. Profcundly Moving Play “A finely wrought reprosentation of stirring events. You are swept off your feet by the forces set in motion. It is a profoundly mov- ing play,” was the comment of United States Deputy Marshal Thomas Newcomb. er than melodrama—genuinely and superbly effective,” declared Kar! Theile, secretary of Alaska. “A play that fairly tears at ons’s vitals; intense, absorbing,” said Chicf of Police George Getchell. “It contains some of the best acting and dialogue that the talk- ing screen has brought forth. It will stir and thrill persons of all classes,” stated Elmer Reed, assist- ant secretary of Alaska. “The Crimina: Code” is a poignant love story—the seeming hopeless love of a youthful convict for the daughter of the warden of a peni- tentiary. Two riots, a jail break, and many other startling scenes are featured. Walter Huston is supported by a brilliant cast which includes Constance Cummings, Phil- lips Holmes, Boris Karloff, Arthur Hoyt, Mary Dolan and others. — - — JUNEAU FOLKS ENJOY OUTING, AT WHITEHORSE Delightful Weather Fea- turse International Celebration Juneau residents who went to Whitehorse for “the International celebration had an enjoyable time.

Mining activi- ties in the Fairbanks may suffer the disadvantage of a shortage of water, he added. . The attorney general said: Many WN! Be Affected “The age limits imposed by -the railroad will operate against the employment of many men who have obtained seasonal work from the transportation season in pre- lease of a number now in the ser- vice. 1 think the rule is ill-ad- vised. My experience and observa- tion in Alaska is that there are many men of 50 and 60 quite capa- ble of an efficient day's work at either outdoor or indoor employ- ment. “The snowfall last winter in the Interior was comparatively light, and the water flow now is not all that the mining interests desire. There is a possibility that later in the season the shortage of waters will be of such an extent as to curtail mining activities .in . the Fairbanks area.

BARTHELMESS, HAS GREAT ROLE IN‘SON OF 60DS' Influence’ of Environment| Is Emphasized in Play at Coliseum 5 ologists have long argued | the relative influence of environ- | ment and heredity on the devel- opment cf individuals. | “Son of the Geds,” starring Rich- | ard Barthelmess, now showing at | the Coliseum theatre, bears heavily | on. the theory and weighs the| seales in favor of the environment | deduction. i As Sam Lee, Richard Barthel- mess, believes himself a Chinaman. Adopted as an infant by a de-| vout Chinese patriarch, who ha prayed to his gods for an hel Sam Lee is brought up in a high- caste Chinese atmosphere. Pride of Ancestry He lived, acted and thought lix one. Imbued with his “fath teachings he devaloped a pride in his ancestry and glowed within at the contemplation that he was a “son of the gods.” In due time, he is sent to an American college. He falls in love with a white girl, who thought he was white. When she found out he was a Chinese, she humiliated him in a public place and very nearly destroyed that magnificent pride of his. Back to “his people” went Sam Lee, only to find that his “father” had died. Then came the final argument of environment. Girl Comes Back The girl came back to him. Her love was greater than her scorn. And then, unexpectedly, like a thunderbolt, came the information to him of his true heredity. He was white! But he was white only in pig- ment and in blood. In his heart he was Chinese, and although he clasped the girl to his breast, he turned with finality to the mem- ory of the Chinese gentleman who had reared him and to the spirit- ual guidance of Confucius. Envi- ronment had won! * HIGH SCHOOL BOY GHARGED WITH MURDER Without Emotion. acts Slaying of Police- man in Chicago CHICAGO, I, June 1. who slew Policeman Edward Smith and who reenacted the killing ap- today parently without emotion, confronted the authorities.
