Johnson, and Sig Hansen, who have just re- turned from an extensive search. The boat was last seen at Meyers Chuck, December 17. Some days later wreckage, believed to be part of the missing boat, was found by @ trapper on the shore of Etolin Island. Peter K. Johnson came from Portland, Ore., to make the search for his brothers. Three thousand, three hundred | the | and twenty-six dollars was amount. of cash in the city treasury of Ketchikan at the close of busi- ness February 29. Endorsement has oeen given by the Ketchikan Chamber of Com- merce to the réeguest of the Hali- but Fishermen's association that the Federal government ithrough the Farm Board, devote $1,000,000 to stablilzation of the halibut in- dustry. Tnstead of letting out mechanical repairs to municipal equipment to private companies, the work should ke done by the city, according to a suggestion made to the Keichikan council. The city owns 10 automo- biles and trucks and has plenty of warehouse space. The usual repair work, it is declaréd, justifies the establishment of a munieipal ma- chine shop, and the employment of a repair man and mechanic. Th man who sold the New York City Hall to a rural visitor has a rival in Ketchikan.

A lighted cigarette, — [thrown on the surface of the har- bor apparently set the water afire. The Fire Department responded *o an alarm and extinguished the blaze.

About 1000 feet of the road has been graveled on the lower end, over which he ran his car. There is anpther 100 feet to be surfacerl. The new road will be 40 feet wide. Despite the signs of winter, the {pussy willows about Ketchikan are in full bloom. Evidence of this can be seen in twigs cut from the Saxman road nhow on display in Kubley's store. The red breast robins which were seen earlier in the season seem to have made themselves scarce again.

The story, which is by Stuart An- | thony, is all about the brave sheriff (of Red River, who has his own troubles running down the leader jof a gang of desperate bandits. | What complicates his efforts is the fact that he and the man he sus- | pects are both suitors for the hand |of the same girl, but the sheriff {is shy and the bandit is bold and | the girl is impatient and uses the !bold man to stir the shy man into & proposal—and instead stirs up a lot of thrills.

As such, she had a prefty well-stocked wardrobe of Parisian gowns and whatnot.

C l)rfiietly Heads New Program for Tomorrow “Man in Possession” Star- ring Montgomery, to Show at Capitol “The Man In Possession,” given at an after-dance preview at 1 o'clock tonight at the Capitol theatre. This photoplay will head the new program tomorrow, the first regular performance being at the afternoon matinee. “The Man in Possession” is a light comedy drama. It has a so- phisticated brand of humor but packs a certain naive quality that makes it doubly enjoyable. The play from which the picture was adapted is one of the most recent works from the pen of H. M. Harwood, distinguished British author, who wrote . such successes 2s “The Mask,” “The Hotel Mouse,” | and “The White-Headed Boy.” Preparation For Screen It was prepared for the screen by Sarah Y. Masen with additional dialogue written by Miss Mason and P. G, Wodehouse, famous English humorist. Sam Wood, who directed the fea- ture, is one of the screen’s most successful megaphonists, having repeated in talkies his trivmphs of the silent screen. His latest pic- tures were “A. Tailor Made Man” and aid.” Heading the supporting cast is the elongated Charlotte Green- ‘wood, stage comedienne, who re- ly added to her laurels with outstanding screen roles in “Parlor, Bedroom and Bath” and “Stepping Out.” Plays Part Of Maid In the new film she plays the part of an English maid with an especial dislike and mistrust for the new butler, the part played by Montgomery.

There is an unhappy half-hour when the engagemens seems to be off, and then Grant's mother appears on the scene. Mrs, Grant is just the Bluffer that Mrs. Heller is, and both see through the bluffs and discount them. Every- thing ends happily. The Cast All parts were admirably taken, bits as well as those full of lines and business, Robert Pratt, as Joe Heller, the father, never overplayed and kept within range of the possibilities of the character. Doris Ulrich, as Emma Heller, the mother, had a most difficult in- terpretation but handled it excel- lently, the comedy as well as the pathos. . Helen Rocovich, as Louise Heller, playing a lead, surprised her friends | and others with the ease she dis- played in a delightful impersona- tion of an every-day girl having her first beau, which case develops suddenly into an engagement, then the family-trouble with the usual finale of “all is well” and every- body. is happy. Anna Mildred Pledger, as Anna- belle Heller, had the ingenue role and did it well Robert Simpson, as Charles Grant was the leading man and played the youth in love with rare ability, geting everything out of his part. Tona Messer, as Mrs. Grant, and Grace Nelson, as Miss Calahan, had bit parts which were doae easily and unrestrained. Linceln Turner, although his part i i A decidedly clever and well anui{bl!l banker (in reality he is making | was just here and there, for a few comedy, from start to finish, was ! $40 a week). Having heard all this minutes, gave his lines and busi- | ness most creditably. Billy Friend, as Billy Heller, had |the leading juvenile and comedy |role and made one of the hits of | the production. His acting was | well done and his lines and busi- ness given with pep,. which made him a favorite with thé audience. The staging was right up to date, a one scene for the three acts. Mrs. Lance Hendrickson directed; | Tom Redlingshafer was stage man- | ager, and Billy Nikish, Tona Messer and Gordon Ingman had other work to do that made the perform- ance a thorough success. Before the curtain and between the acts, the entire High School ‘orchestra was put in the pit and | gave selections which were highly meritorious, werking under the baton of Miss Pauline Reibhart, S e o — | ST.
