But several co-workers lapsed into hysterics at the sight, and Gubbed him “Skipper,” and the di- rector needed only one look to de- cide that realism wasn't worth the| price.

It has to do with the legend that exists regarding Anastasia youngest daughter of the Czar, who is thought to have been spirited to Paris and thus escaped the fate of her family. The picture tells of the attempt made by General Hans Moloff to use hypnotic domination to empty of all knowledge of her past exis- tance and to hypnotically suggest to her that she is Anastasia. The expose of the attempted im- posture is one of the strangest tales of international conspiracy ever told on the screen. “Secrets of the French Police” is said to be based upon the actual adventures of the great Bertillion, world famous sleuth. The Capitol program will include its usual share of interesting short | subjects and late news 1eels.

'Chilean Teachers Given Jail Threat SANTIAGO, Chile, March 23— The Government, on learning that agitators were working among teachers in an attempt to have them join a strike, announced that strikes by any public employees will not be recognized and that any teachers who join such a demon- stration will be dismissed aud Jailed. - e ROBERT C.

Hebert, representative cf Schwabacher Hardware Company, returned from a trip to the West- ward and Interior districts on the steamer Northwestern .last evening MARION NIXON AS REBECCA IS INBEST ROLE Heroine of *‘Sunnybrook Farm” Comes to Coli- seum Theatre Tonight Marian Nixon will come to the Coliseum Theatre tonight as Re- becca in Kate Douglas Wiggin's saga of American girlhood, “Re- cca of Sunnybrook Farm.” This refreshing production not| only gives Miss Nixon unbounded opportunity for dramatic expres- sion, but also introduces Ralph Bellamy in an entirely sympathet- ic and romantic role, that of the kindly, understanding Dr. Adam Ladd who befriends Rebacea. The talking version of Rebacca is said to be a faithful reproduc- tion of the stage play, relating the magical adventures and fascinating romance of America’s favorite young heroine in a charming manner. The pictorial beauty of the out- door settings heightens the attrac- tion of the wistful story of Re- becca who saw beauty in every- thing despite disappointment and disillusionment. ‘The important supporting cast is headed by Mae Marsh and Louise Closser Hale, seen as Rebecca's stern and puritanical New Eng- {land aunts, and includes Sarah Padden, Alan Hale, Alphonz Ethier, Ronald Harmris, Eula Guy and many others.

Fived-Date Easter | Being Debated by Churches’ Council (Centinued rrom Page One.) has long been studying the ques-\‘ tion of a new caléndar. Proponents of calendar reform point out that under the present system Baster can fall on any one of 35 dates, Purthermore, they say, the cloth- ing and millinery trades make Bas- | ter a pivotal point. TIf it falls ear- 1y, people won't buy spring outfits; if it falls late, they may wear winter clothing till Easter, then | change to summer styles, neglect- ing spring outfits entirely. A variable Baster, they argue, disrupts school vacation schedules and affects communication pro- grams. Many Nations Approve The league of Nations reports that 26 governments, including France, Germany, Spain, Great Britain and the United States, have endorsed its act for the stabiliza- tion of Baster. The Sunday. following the second Saturday in April has been sug- gested by some governments as suitable for the observance. A Tixed date, such as Sunday, April 8, which would be possible if a perpetual calendar should be adopt« ed, is preferred by some groups and individuals. t | JUNEAU SAMPLE SHOP The Little Store with the Reasonable Montiy Tates | GARBAGE HAULED E. 0.
