THE DAILY ALASKA E CAPITOL LAST TIMES TONIGHT PREVIEW—1 A. M. TONIGHT RICHARD DIX in “THE LOST SQUADRON” FRENCH COUNT COMES HERE ON SEA SCOUT TRIP tice Cruise With a young member of the French nobility as ship's guest, 27 Seattle Sea Scouts, aboard the Tyee Scout, a 50-foot cabin craft, arrived in Juneau late Saturday afternoon on a two-weeks' practice cruise in Alaskan waters. The youths departed on their return voyage yesterday. While here, they motored to Mendenhall Glacier, vis- ited the Territorial Museum and some of them climbed neighboring hillsides. The vessel left Seattle last Mon- day, coming north by way of Prince Rupert, B. C., Ketchikan and Pet- ersburg. In proceeding south, she is scheduled to visit Rocky Pass and to call at Ketchikan and Van- couver, B. C. “ Count Armed de Kersaint Gilly, about 28 years old, is the cruise guest. He is a scion of an ancient Brittany family. He has seen mili- tary service, having been in an aviation corps in Morocco under the famous Marshal Lyautey. The Count has a home in Cannes, France, and also one in Corsica. He is a descendant of the Chev: alier de Kersaint, a crusader, who was given his title by King Louis after the battle with Jeanne d’Arc. The titled Trenchman is making his first visit to the United States. The Sea Scouts aboard the Tyce Scout are from the Sea Scout ships Chinook, Decatur, Kraken and Sea Venture of the Seattle Area Coun- cil. The Tyee Scout is under com- mand of Skipper Wallace Howe, Seattle Sea Scout Executive and former President of the Associated Students at the University of Wash- ington.

Theatres Feature GlamorousWoman Spy and Aglle Comedian “MATA HARI" AT CAPITOL ENDS ITS RUN TUNIGHT Greta Garbo and Ramon Novaro Star in Glam- orous Spy Play “What, a French gambling ca- sino without roulette?.” ‘That's the question Director George Fritzmaurice had to an- |swer during the filming of lavish |gambiling scenes for “Mata Hari,” in which Greta Garbo and Ra- mon Novarro are co-starred by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and which will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol theatre. The locale of the story is Paris in the early days of the World War and the gambling casino is |supposed to represent a fashion- able rendezvous located just out-| side the capital. Card Games Only Only chemin de fer and other card games were allowed at the gaming tables on the film set. The reason for the absence of rouleste equipment , explained by Fitzmaurice, a native of Paris, is because the wheel game has been banned in France for many years, contrary to the gemeral idea of Paristan gambling. Possession of roulette wheels, he said, brings se- vere prison sentences and fines that prchibit “taking chances” by gaming operators. Notoricus Woman Spy The story of “Mata Hari” is based on the life of the notorious dancer whose intrigues as a spy during the World War resulted in her execution by a French firing squad. This famous woman was as well known for her love af- fairs &s for her espionage man- euvers and it is on this aspect of her life that the plot of the picture is centered. Garbo, of course, plays the fascinating dan- cer. Basides Miss Garbo and Novarro the cast includes Lionel Barrymore, | Lewis Stone, C. Henry Gordon, Karen Morley, Blanche Frederici, Edmund Breese, Helen Jerome Eddy and Frank Reicher. —————.———— QUEST FOR 60LD IN LIARD COMES ALMOST T0 END Recent Leaders of Mitchell Expedition Are Re- turning Home Finis has virtually been written to the book of adventure that had its genesis last spring when Thomas M. Mitchell, veteran Northern pros- pector, organized a party of some 30 members in Detroit, Mich., and, | equipped with five airplanes, led them into the Liard district of southern Yukon Territory on a quest for placer gold. Almost all the argonauts from the States have abandoned the treasure search, and the three most recent leaders of the expedition are in Juneau today | preparatory to departing for their homes.

The story is about an artist’s model with advanced ideas of love —and the man she loves who is modern in everything but love. The art studio scenes are par- ticulariy well done, and the scene representing the Parisian “Four Arts Ball” with its gorgeously ces- tumed women stands out as a piece of -masterful direetion. Henry Clive Directed Scenes Henry Clive, famous painter and illustrator, acted as technical di- rector for these Parisian scenes. He had to conduct a real beauty contest in order to make a suit- able selection of beautiful girls or the secene. Excellent Supporting Cast Miss Bennett has an excellent supporting cast—dJoel MoCrea, Lew Cody, Rebert Williams, ' Hedda Hopkins, Marion Shilling, and Paul Ellis. Paul Stein directed. The screen play was adapted from Robert W. Chambers’ novel, “The Common Law,” by John Darrow. ANGRY CLASHES SHOWED SENATE TEMPERS SHORT Violent Disagreements Are Nothing New But Some Are Different By HERBEBT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, Aug 15—Perhaps there is no better evidence™of the wear and tear to which Senator- fal nerves were subjected during the past months than the heated and at times bitter personal clash- es on the floor in the closing hours of ihe session just passed. Violent disagreements between Senators are nothing new. Scarce- ly a €ay passes while they are in session but that someone, somehow géts into a tangle with a colleague. But it is a’ rare occurrence for them to engage in personalities. No matter how worked up they may become or how loud they shout at each other, there is al- ways that feeling that they bhave respect for one another and a caurteous demeanor. " But there were times in the last few hours of this past session when those watching from the galleries had their doubts. There were flareups and clashes ' that made one wonder at times just how' they would end. FRAYED NERVES There was the time, for example, when Jee Robinson, of Arkansas, turned on the portly, bespectacled Hatfield of West Virginia, shouting o him to quit interrupting—that his interruptions were ‘childish”’ and hased either on ignorance or incompetence. Hatlield became so incensed that he left the Chamber, berating Robinson in ne uncertain terms. Fhe West 'Virginia Senator was trying to get an amendment to the conference report of the re- lief bill, which the Demagcratic {eado insisted was too late. The diminutive but scrappy Car- ter Glass of Virglnia bawled at “Putidler Jim" Davis of Pennsyl- vanla during the same afternoon {n truly terrifying fashion. Glass, feared by all when he arises in his wrath, pounced on Davis with "eve=sthing he had” for insisting that he was prepared to -stay n thig by the working man. why hasn't the Senator gottea up here and asserted his rights befove,” shouted Glass.
