Shi- tanda, proprietor of the Owl Cafe here, died in Japan October 17, according to word received here Saturday. Little Henry, as he was often called, was taken to sunny Japap last month on account of his health. Afflicted with an un- known malady, it was upon the advice of his physicians here that his father took him to the old country thinking the change of climate would be beneficial. They left Seattle on the last day of September and arrived at Koko- ‘hama on October 14. The trip wore him down considerably and he was taken to a hospital immediately, dying three days later. The little fellow was eight years old. et sl . HUNTERS RETURN HOME F. A. J.

In “Genw:2man's Fate,” cmeralds worth $25,000 were part of the “props” used at the time of the filming of the picture. The gems were brought from a vault under surety bond after an attempt was made to use paste emeralds in the picture. Imitations Photographed Dead The imitations, however, photo- graphed “dead” under the brilliant lights and it was necessary to use the genuine stones in order to ob- tain the dazzling beauty vital to the scene. ‘The story revolves about a so- ciety chap, enacted by John Gil- bert, who is suddenly faced with the fact that his father, whom he has believed to be dead, is the leader of a New Jersey bootlegging ring. The drama begins when his fiancee breaks their engagement and he decides to enter upon his father’s occupation and becomes a gangster-killer. An importatnt supporting cast includes Louis Wolheim, Leila Hy- ams, Anita Page, Marie Prevost, John Miljan and George Cooer. “The Good Bad Girl” “The Good Bad Girl” is a pulsat- ing drama of a gangster’s girl, who wanted her chance to be decent .

MICKEY MOUSE CLUB MEMBERS MAKE SOME FUN QOrchestral Selections, Choral Numbers, Vaude- ville Beat Screen Mickey Mouse opened his eyes in wonder Saturday afternoon at the Capitol theatre. Members of his club played orchestral selections, sang choral numbers and appeared in vaudeville that excelled in fun and pleasure anything that was shown on the screen. So pleased is Eric Paulson, manager of the with the efforts of the boys and girls that he will offer prizes again next Saturday after- noon— and probably every succ- eeding Saturday afternoon for pres- entation of similar instrumental, vocal and variety entertainments.

CHESTERFIELD ToBACcos — both Turkish and Domestic —are mild and ripe, the best that money can buy. . AnD THE way Chesterfield tobaccos are blended and cross-blended is like making a new and better-tasting kind of tobacco, with greater smoothness, more mildness and a more pleasing aroma — a fragrance and flavor not to be found in any other cigarette. CHESTERFIELD gives you the benefit of all the world knows about the production of better cigarettes. Nobody smokes a better cigarette than Chesterfield. © 1931, LicGETT & MYERS ToBACCO CoO. T :fl’.'

Butler-Mauro | GOLISEUM HAS HORTON'S FARGE AGAIN TONIGHT “Explain” Will Be Attrac- tion at | o'Clock Matinee Tonight At the regular performance to- night at the Coliseum Theatre, the comedy, “6 Cylinder Love” star- ring Everett Edward Horton, will be shown for the last times. At the matinee at 1 o'clock tonight the romantic drama, “Explain,” featuring Neil Hamilton and Mar- fon Nixon, will be the headline at- traction. “6 Cylinder Love" qualifies Hor- ton to write a book on “The Fine Art of Sponging,” he thinks. Refers To Grafting The “sponging” is not the kind used in tailor shops, but refers to the practice of grafting free rides, meals and entertalnment from one's friends. “8 Cylinder Love"” portrays Hor- ton as the leader of a group of just such human parasites. “8 Cylinder Love"ls a comedy of a crew of spongers descends upon them. Brilliant Supporting Cast A brilllat supporting cast in- cludes Spencer Tracy, Sidney Fox, William Collier, Sr, El Brendel, Una Merkel, Ruth Warren, Lorin Raker, Bert Roach and William Holden. Thornton Freeland, director of |“Three Live Ghosts,” and “Whoo- pee,' wielded the baton over “6 Cylinder Love. “Explain” affords Hamilton and Miss Nixon opportunity to display their talents to advantage. The offering abounds in tense situa- tions and fine dialogue. Most of the scenes are laid in England. JOHN C. MANNING TRIUMPHS WITH Famous Pianist Delights Large and Appre- ciative Audience Before a large and appreciative audience in the auditorium of the Grade School building last evening, John C. Manning, famous pianist, gave a recital of Chopin musie, in- terspersing the numbers with in- timate references to the great com- poser and the motives that in- spired much of his work. Before the commencement of the program, Miss Caroline Todd, on behalf of the Business and Profes- sional Women's Club, under the auspices of which the musical was arranged, expressed gratification at the substantial financial support given the affair by the general public, and R. S. Raven, super- intendent of the schools, voicéd ‘his pleasure at the presence of so many young folks and thanked school children for the active part they had taken in the pre-sale of concert tickets. 1 Delighted At Visit 3 Mr. Manning prefaced the play- ing of his selections with a brief talk on his delight in making this, ‘his first visit to Alaska and ac- knowledged with feeling the warm welcome that had been extended ‘to him. He explained that the purpose of his concerts was to cultivate and disseminate a love of classical music among people gen- erally. He insisted that under- ! standing and appreciation of the 'masters were far from difficult if they were explained and presented in ‘the right way. He cited in- stances of how persons who had attended his recitals had soon | learned to enjoy the greatest of the arts. Chopin was a great Polish pat- riot, Mr. Manning set forth, and much of the master's work was expressive of his loyalty to his country and concern for her trials and tribulations. Preludes Open Program ‘Mr. Manning began his program with Seven Preludes, Opus 28. The first is often called “A Prayer to the Nation.” The other Preludes offered pleasing variety both in melody and execution. The sixth is the largest of all, in range and character. | The Preludes were followed by &' | waltz, which Mr. Manning cau- | tioned auditors not to associate | with dancing. Tone and Technique | Next were the Etudes. In these Chopin combined great beauty orl tone with masterful technique. They are expressive of Poland’s revolt against Russia and of the deep sorrow and love of the com- poser for his country and of his hate for her oppressor. After the Etudes there was an newlyweds and their troubles after | CHOPIN RECITAL --.- - COLISEUM LAST TIMES TONIGHT Thrill-a-second .
