Coming—“DIRIGIBLE” 58 FOXES COME FROM TEBENKOF ABOARD PACIFIC Animals, Destined for Min- nesota, Do Not Fancy Life cn Sea Fifty-eight head of foxes, con- fined in latticed boxes piled on deck of the motorship Pacific made the voyage this week from Tebenkof Bay to Juneau. They do not fancy, life on.the ocean wave, declared Capt. Paul Kegel, master of the vessel. “We had a pleasant trip,” said the captain, who regards every trip as pleasant so long as port is reached on schedule even though the craft pitches on end and twists dike a corkscrew.” But notwith- standing the favorable conditions,” he continued, “nearly all the ani- mals made nothing of their oppor- tunity for sea views. The creatures spent most of their time huddled in remote corners of their cages.” The foxes, which are from the Pacific Internafional Fur Farm at ‘Tebenkof Bay, will be trans-shipped here for the States. The animals are destined for a fur farm at Hackensack, Minn. One passenger, W. C. Maeser, came to Juneau on the Pacific. The vessel entered her slip here last night.

She | has a penchant for dogs. She was delighted when she learned she 'Would ‘have to carry one in her role of Trixie Barnes. Likes Long Haired Dogs Having a preference for long- haired breeds, she audibly ex- pressed the hope to her fellow players that the canine companion provided for her in “The Good Bad Girl” would be of this type. Im- agine her disappointment when the animal appeared and proved to be a specimen of the hairless Mexican breed. However, a dog is a dog to Marie. She made overtures to the queer looking stranger, which were amicably received, and after that the ‘two. were inseparable. “Subway Express’ has a well-mo- tivated plot and is rich in humor because of the clashes of the 30 oddly contrasted passengers who b= Where Turkish tobacco comes from make up 'the personnel of a New[ York subway coach.

Quarrel Takes Place A quarrel developes between a broker and some inebriates, who bump against him and members of his party. There is a struggle and a shot, after which a murdered man is discovered sitting stiffly in |} a seat. | With thirty persons to choose | from, not even Killian—a hard- | boiled police inspector—can tell | who committed the crime. There's even a catch as to how it was com- mitted—it looks like a shooting but it isn't. Jack Holt plays the inspector with convincing realism. Aileen Pringle enlists sympathy as Dale Tracy and Jason Robards makes the broker, Bordon, a likeable young New Yorker. Fred Kelsey, William Humphrey, and Ethel ‘Wales score in character roles.

Thousands of Sheep | “The Santa Fe Trail,” which Paramount has adapted from Hal| G. Evart’s novel, “Spanish Acres,”| and which will begin showing to-‘! | morrow night at the 'Coliseum the- atrs is the first big production to; record the continuous drone of | ‘thousands of sheep as they move before the cameras and micro- phone. Like “The Virginian,” “The Light of Western 'Stars” and “The Border Legion,” which preceded it to the {screen, the new fllm includes the sounds of horse and cattle voices but its new thrill is the sound of calling sheep. Richard Arlen appears as the owner of a band of 10,000 sheep which he has brought into New Mexico, after having survived the sheep-cattle wars in Kansas. With him is Eugene Pallette, as his pal, apd Junior Durkin, as an orphan whose father was killed while fight- ing on Arlen’s side in Kansas. Ro- sita Moreno Is cast opposite Arlen as a senorita, whose father owns Spanish Acres. Mitzi Green, nine- year-old actwess, plays a wostern| child, the ward of Rosita. Many of the sheep sequences were filmed on location and a number of large southern California herds of sheep were assembled for the production, “The Santa Fe Trail¥ will head- line the program at the preview matinee at 1 o'clock tonight.

ELKS MINSTREL PRODUCTION IS BREAT SUCCESS ISecond Performance To- night at Coliseum— | Parade Precedes Show The Elks Minstrel show, a regu- lar 1931 production, was presented | |before a large audience at the | Coliseum theatre last night and | will be repcated again tonight be- | ginning at 8 o'clock sharp. The presentation was a big success and | everyone taking part, either in| solos, or other individual numbers made a big .hit. The gags kep the crowd in a hilarious mood all evening. The olio numbers, intro- duced between the first and sec- ond minstrel parts, also went over in excellent style and received well merited applause. Street Parade ‘The night started with a regular street parade, headed by the Ju- neau City Band of 14 pleces. The band sprung an illuminated parade for on the caps of the members| were the new electric lights re- cently purchased for night work. Then again the parade introduced the totems, sixteen of them, which were part of the big Elks parade at the annual convention in Seattle last July. This feature of the evening was witnessed by hundreds along the city's thoroughfares of the line of march. The parade will be given again tonight starting from the Elks’ Club at 7:15 o'clock and band concert in front of the Coliseum. Amos 'N Andy, repre- sented by George Shaw and Harry Murray, with their old tin lizzie, will again appear tonight. Minstrel Part The minstrel show itself, the first the Elks have given in six years, was everything such a show means. The opening chorus, with Sam Ritter as soloist, was one of the best musical numbers ever seen here. The other soloists, J. J. Fargher, Max Scriber, both in two distinct groups of songs and Brice Howard in one group were immensely pleasing in their renditions. En- cores were demanded and freely given. New Quartette The new male quartete, H. G. Nordling, E. M. Polley, Fargher and Scriber made such a winning ap- pearance that they nearly ran out of responses. Their wind-up was immense. The end-men, Harry Sperling Jack Kearney, J. B. Bernhofer and Dolly Gray, all old-stagers in Ju- neau, never before gavé out such a line of fast jokes as last night. The gags were all localized and were “hot” ones. No diagrams were required to give an analysis to any of the gags. End Work Harry Sperling put over a song number that was clever and his chorus was embellished by the ap- pearance of his side kick, Kearney, as the “maid” in the case. “Dolly” Gray has a regular old style min- COLISEUM MIDNIGHT MATINEE “SANTA FE TRAIL” RICHARD ARLEN FFAY WRAY s rendered soveral banjo selections, new in Juneau, and these merited s2veral demands for encores.
