_THE DAILY ALASKA EMZIRE, SUNDAY MONDAY Sunday Matinee 2 P.M WAKE UP PUBLIC! A giant remance of our times has come to the talking sereen! A drama that is drama! A theme as mighty as the Rockies! It’s romance, tragedy, drama, in one great picture! Do you applaud pictures? YOU’LL CHEER THIS ONE! with a cast that rises to inspired heights: DOROTHY JORDAN ROBERT YOUNG JIMMY DURANTE LEWIS STONE NEIL HAMILTON A VICTOR FLEMING production Owing to the length of this picture THE FIRST SHOW WILL START AT 7:20 WALTER HUSTON LAST TIMES TONIGHT “THE GREEKS HAD A WORD FOR THEM” GoodFilm Programsf THREE BLONDES STAR IN JOYOUS ~ CAPITOL PLAY “Greeks Had a Word for Them” Will Show Last Times Tonight One blonde is usually enough for one picture. A blonde heroine usually means that the hero must be dark, and the female menace dark too, for contrast. But in “The Greeks Had a Name For Them,” which will be shown for the last times tonight at the Cap- itol .theatre, there are three blonde heroines. Ina Claire, former for- mer “Follies” girl; Joan Blondell |and Madge Evans are the three blonde beauties. { Quarrel and Cry | They quarrel, they 2ry on one i another’s shoulders, they pursue the hapless millionaire in conpany and singly, and all the while they live up worthily to their nickname of the “Three Mucketeers of Riv- erside Drive” in penthouse apart- ments, speakeasies, transatlantic liners and taxicabs. This trio of hilarious characters last year made the Zoe Akins play from which the picture was taken cne of the smiash hits of New York. é Pulitzer Prize Playwright Sidney Howard, Pulitzer Prize ‘p!aywright made the screen adap- | tation from the originial. Playing the roles of the wealthy men who are the prey of the three ladies the Greeks had a word for are David Manners, Phillips Smal- ley and Lowell Sherman, who acted in and directed the picture. MYSTERY JOINS | WITH PERILS ON COLISEUM BILL "Silent Witr;;; and ‘Dan-; |- ger Island’ to Be Giv- ‘ en Tonight Only “The Silent Witness” thrilling drama, and the ninth chapter of “Danger Island,” perilous serial photoplay, will be presented o= | ht only at the Coliseum the- atre. In “The Silent Witness” an in-| dulgent father, an adoring mother, | a gilded youth and a double- crossing siren are the most im- portant links. Lionel Atwill, famed actor from |the stage, appears as the father. Mary Forbes enacts the role of the | mother. Greta Nissen plays the| seductive woman and Bramwell Fletcher portrays the role of the boy, so lacking in courage that he permits his father to stand trial | for a murder in which the weak- | ling son becomes involved. Other Important Roles Others in important roles are| Helen Mack, Meldon Heyburn, | Herbert Mundin, Wyndham Stand- ing and Billy Bevan. The play was directed by Mar- cel Varnel and H. L. Hough from |the screen play by Douglas Doty, | which is based on the successful stage production of the same name by Jack De Leon and Jack Cel- estin. The title of the ninth chapter |of "Danger Island” is “The Devil | |Bird,” In this chapter, Bonnie 'is' awakened by the attempts of | the leopard to force his way into! the hut. Her screams come to Burke and he runs to her and| drives off the leopard.

He looked to me like the nearest thing to a perfect tackle and his running mate, Captain Brown, is not far short of that standard. On the basis of what Kansas and Kurth of Notre Dame showed me, the big game should be an all- time batile of all-star tackles.” Mikulak of Oregon, is the Bart Viviano of the Pacific Coast among defensive fullbacks, the same agent tells me. When he played in Los Angeles, even the crowd took up the announcer’s call: “ * * & * tackled by Mikulak.” i EXTRA POINT BLUES Some of the more prominent of our football coaches no doubt movement looking toward abolish- touchdown, the thin margin that so0 often separates victory or de- feat from a tie.

Then, too, there seemed to be an epidemic of safeties, leastwise in Qhio, where there were not less| than 23 made during the year, a few accounting for the winning] points. Some attribute this to the limitations on defensive use of the hands as nearly all were made from linemen blocking, kicks. — - ATTENTION FIREMEN! All Firemen instructed to meef at Fire Hall, 9:30 am.
