H This newsst picture, released by Columbia, contains enough horror and. suspense to jolt even the most hardened mystery-story fan into a state of attention. Headed by a cast of such favorites as Bela Lu- gosi, Wallace TFord, Sally Blane and George Meeker, the picture is an entertaining combination of mystery and comedy, topped by | some refreshing moments of ro- manes.

His crimes center around ' the neighborhood of the Rinehart mansion, home of Professor Rine- hart, his ward, Mary, and his nephew, Arthur, a scientist, en- gaged to marry Mary. The professor meets an untimely death in his laboratory, and when the terms of his will are revealed, it is found that the déad man has divided his property among several , persons—Arthur, Mary, his brother John, and two Hindu servants who | constantly behave in a sinister and mysterious manner.

T ", BUILT BY THE JUNEAU, ALASKA FOR YOUTH OF JUNEAU ! For the last several days the youth of Juneau as well as many adults have taken advantage of the snow to get out their skiis, and hills in many parts of the town echo to the laughter and shouts of both amateurs and those ex- perienced in this winter sport, un- til the small morning hours. Skiing has to a great extent, sup- planted coasting as the favorite sport of Juneau during the winter months, and each recent year has seen more devotees of this exer- cise. This winter practically every child in town who has a pair of skiis or can beg or borrow a pair may be found on Ninth or Gold Streets after school hours and in the evening wi the snow lasts, perfecting his or her skill. pLARADR I WRIETT: 5 Dauy Empire Want A4s Pay. CHIC SALE IN QUAINT ROLE |Star Plays Oldhme Rall road Man in *Dangerous Crossings.” Coliseum | | | | | A broken-down and retired old railroad engineer, and a broken: down and retired old locomot! | that he calls, affectionately, “Min- |nie,” are the real hero and heroins jof “Dangerous Crossroads,” a Co lumbia melodrama of the roaring rails, coming tonight to the Coli seum Theatre. That beloved portrayer of quamb and venerable characters, Chic Sale. is the engineer; and “Minnie” actually Mogul No. 1711 of th Southern Pacific Railroad, once one of the crack flyes now relegated to switching duty. Broken-down and may have been—but how they do their stuff when it's necessary, in the big climax of the picture! It's a grand photoplay of fast faction, sure to appeal to the whole family. Frank Albertson is a handsome | young railroad detective, in love| with Chic Sale’s daughter — the| dark and lovely Diane Sinclair. He | discovers the gang that has been looting freight trains. But they dis- | cover him, too, and try to drop a few tons of iron on his head from | a big electro-magnet. They think ‘hey have killed him, and flee with their loot. But he has dived head- long into an old boiler and is safe. Then Chic, as the ancient on- gineer, gets to his faithful old locomotive “Minnie,” and with Frank as fireman, races furiously across miles of dangerous and abandoned track. They head off the thieves, have a gorgeous fight with ‘them, and return in triumph. And how that old “Minnie,” with great plumes of black smoke bil- lowing from her stack, thunders across the rickety rails! That's a genuinely thrilling sequence. Others in the picture are little Jackie Searle, the kid actor, Pres- ton Foster, and Niles Welch. And there are not only thrills in it, but plenty of fun of the quiet, rib- tickling sort for which Chic Sale is world-famous. Lambert Hillyer directed.
