None of the boys was whooping it up; 'twas not the Malamute sa- locn. There was no kid at the music box hitting a jazz time tune. Just some 10 .or 12 patrons of the Gastineau hotel were passing the Sunday afternoon in arm chairs in the lobby. The piano near the fireplace at the rear seemed merely a thing of orna- mentation, instead of an instru- ment capable of dulcet notes. At a card table, hard by, somewhat obscured from view from the front —a concession to Sabath conven- tlon—two lawyers and as many traveling salesmen were endeavor- ing through the medium of auction across bridge to get their cigars at one/ another's expense.

He pulled ou: the stool, seated himself, lifted the lid that covered the keys and ran the scales—not diffidently, hesitatingly and quietly, but boldly, quickly and loudly. His companions disposed of ‘themselves in neighboring chairs. At the first peal of practice notes, lounging guests smiled some- what derisively; the card game was halted, momentarily, in annoyance, and John Biggs, mine host of the hostelry, emerged from the count- ing room back of the office desk fearful that the sound might be the prelude to boisterous disorder. Runs Gamut of Masters But before ridicule could find expression, annoyance be manifest- ed or apprehension take action, the slightest cause for any at all was dissipated by a wealth of melody that ran the gamut of the mast- ers. Classical compositions of Haydn and Beethoven; thundering 'Wag- nerian excerpts, bewitching strains from Strauss and aria after aria from the most famous of French and Ttalian operas charmed into appreciative silence an dunbounded admiration the group of fortunate listeners. No Intermission Program No intermissions marked the im- provised program; selections fol- lcwed on another fast, without in- ‘terruption. An hour went by like a minute. the artist, John Malmstrom, grad- uate of a European conservatory and erstwhile fireman at the Ju- neau Lumber Mills, now out of work, took a bow at the door as he and his companions. erowded out of it, for favored auditors were applauding unreservedly. ——r———— PANTAGES T0 DEMAND JURY PRINGLE CASE Second Trial Starts Today on Charges of At- tacking Girl LOB ANGELES, Chl, Nov. 2—A jury trial is demandéd by Alex- ander Paptages at his second trial starting today on charges of at- tacking Eunice Pringle, co-ed danc- er.

H Mystery In Benson Case | In the “Benson Murder Case,” the msytery is, who killed Anthony Benson? Powell plays the role of a Philo Vance, a suave, sophisticated sleuth—the role he made famous in the “Green Murder Case” and the “Canary Murder Case.” Others in the cast of “The Benson Murder Case” had similar parts in the two other murder cases. Eugene Pallette, as Heath, again blunders his way through the maze of misleading clues, while E. H. Calvert, playing the district attorney for the third time, frantically seeks a solution to a startling crime. Vance furnishes the solution, and in doing it, supplies delightful entertainment. Paul Lukas is also in the cast. _—_— NOTICE No. 3228-A In the District Court for the District of Alaska, Division Num- ber Oné, 4% Juneau.
