M. and Shows Tomorrow Robert Woolsey and Dorothy Lee, will be presented for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre. “The Fighting Sheriff,” Buck Jones, will headline the new program tomorrow night, and this new program will be previewed at 1 o'clock tonight. Tonight is “Silver Night.” Every woman attending either of the reg- ular performances tonight will re- ceive a piece of table silverware. “Caught Plastered” is a hilarious comedy. The scenes are laid in a cines. Seven Consecutive Appearances In this play, the world’'s lon- distance record for film stars in consecutive productions is threat- ened. Miss Lee and Wheeler have played opposite each other in seven straight films, all comedies, with mounting popularity. “The Fighting Sheriff” presents Buck Jones in new riding tricks— brand new leaps and falls that fairly take the breath away—and the production has g stirring story chuck full of bandits and shooting frays. Red River, a Western mining town, supplies the locale for “The Fighting Sheriff,” which concerns the efforts of Sheriff Bob Terry to run down the perpetrator of e | series of stage coach robberies. Flash Is Suspecied Bob strongly suspects that Flash Halloway, owner of the Hell's De- light Saloon, is the man wanted, but Bob can't get enough evidence to plant the guilt on Flash. Com- plications arise when Mary arrives. She is the sister of a young outlaw | who has been shot and killed by Bob in one of the raids on the bandits. Bob and Flash become rivals for Mary’s favor, and have several tilts. In the course of one of these, Bob gets information that enables him to catch Flash red- handed at his game of highway robbery. Too Good To Give Away Just how, is too good to give away—it is enough to say that with the trouble-making Flash out of the way, Bob and Mary have a smooth road ahead of them. Buck and his horse, Silver, score heavily, for the ace adventure star has taught his four-footed assist- ant some ne wstunts that put him in the equine wonder class. ‘The supporting cast includes Robert Ellis, Harlan E. Knight, Paul Fix, Lilllan Worth, Nena Quartaro, Clarence Muse and Lil- lanne TLeighton.

D. ris of that community and a pa of Eskimos took all the fur off of her,” Aviator Dorbandt is qhoted as saying in the Fairbanks News- Miner. “The ice was very thin and the men took a tremendous risk in themselves together and the ice with long poles. Cemmissioner Holds Furs “All the skins from the boat have a total market value toddy of about $35,000. They are in the hands of United States Commissioner Stan- ley R. Morgan at Point Morris has filed a claim for $15,000 salvage. tween Point Barrow and the Bay- chimo, in a ski-equipped Ford auto- mebile which is a distance-eater along the shore ice. Point Barrow also boasts a motorcycle. “After the salvaging of the fur, the Bayehimo disappeared. “In the hope of spotting the ship we -flew over the dice for 100 miles and could see for another 50 miles. There was no sign of the Baychimo. The height of the pack ice 15 indicated by the fact that the shadows cast reached 100 feet in length. Couldn’t Land On Ice “Where the ice was not heaved up in jagged formation it was new and thin. Even if we had found the boat we could not have landed side her. “Men like Charley Browers and Fred Hudson, who have been so long at Point Barrow they know every mood of the Arctic, declare it is altogether improbable the ship could have survived the crushing of the ice. There is just a bare possibility that the Baychimo could have been moved infact in the ice pan in which she rested, and is now drifting in the ocean. There would be no special purpose in finding her, however, “Everyone at Barrow is in fine ‘health. The village is quite a sur- prise to anyone going there forthe first time. Good Comfortable Homes “They have Homies just as fine as any in Fairbanks or Anchoage.

Several moose were sighted orithe Arctic slope and the fliers were told it was the first time in years moose have been reported in that |locality. They are believed to have come from the Canadian side of the boundary. Habitations Are Few | "With the exception of a few trap- |pers’ cabins along the Colville no habitation was seen on the Arctic side until Barrow was reached. : The Arctic is virtually without fur this winter, it was said. Only 100 poundsof fur had been received at Barrow in contrast to 800 pounds a year ago and 6,000 pounds the, previous winter. I The continuing scarcity of furs |throughout the interior is compel-‘ ling many natives to abandon their acquired habits of civilization to the extent of living off the country, ac- cording to Aviator Dorbrandt. i Visited Many Districts | He visited the Black River, Por- cupine and numerous other dis- tricts following his return to the Yukon valley from Point Barrow. “Without furs,” he explained, “the natives cannot buy the food of {the white man and they therefore are going back to their primitive ways of living. And apparently they are, not suffering any as a result of the change. This was learned from Chief Christian, whom - we visited on the Arctic slope. ! “Frank Tasunda, veteran Japan-’ ese trader, who makes his home af | Beaver,. oni the Yukon, does not! need to deprive himself of swre‘ food, because he always carries @] large stock of it for trading purs | poses. i | “But. every winter he goes on a straight meat and tea diet, like | jan Eskimo, and he is the picture, | |of health at 70 years of age.

He {has atmost all of his teeth and in| 1all the 40 years he has lived in the | north, -mushing in all kinds of} weather, he has never frosted any part of his anatomy.” Pilot Dorbandt's passengers did/ inot do any business direct with |the trappers, all of the furs ac- quired on the trip having been purchased from traders, several of whom were taken out on short flights to traplines and villages. The Dorbandt party got all the furs there were in the districts| visited, ‘With' the excéption of ten| unsealed marten, and the entire lot had a value of about $4,000, which gives some idea of the scar-| city of fur bearers this winter. | At Fort Yukon, gateway to the Canadian Porcupine country, there b ers gave fine interpretations of | their parts.
