Fine for starting “WHARF ANGEL” CLOSE TONIGHT [Strange Mder Story Showing for Last Time ° at Coliseum Theatre | Leaving beaten tracks, RKO- {Radio Pictures has produced some- things that is said to be entirely new in the way of detective dramas. This is “The Crime Doc- tor,” showing tonight at the Coli- | seum for the last time. The other |part of the double bill is “Wharf | Angel.” | Neither a gangster or a mystery |story, “The Crime Doctor” adopts [the novel system of taking the| audience into complete confidence.' A murder is depicted from its in-' ceptlon in the killer's mind to the| {final dramatic solution of the case, | |and as the story unfolds not a step 'IS withheld from the audience. The | authorities working on the crime) lare in the dark, and the develop-} {ment of the plot becomes a game | jof “hot and cold,” with suspense |reaching a tense pitch as the hunt | progresses. | | However, the final sharp sur- prise, which has nothing to do |with the solution of the murder case, is said to be veserved for the | audience. - eee —— Anniversary Had Nothing to Do with Power Shut-off The fact that Thomas A. Edison| patented his incandescent lamp on | January 27, 1880, had nothing ta‘ do ‘with the fact that Juneau's| electric light and power service was | discontinued temporarily at 2 o'clogk on the morning of January ! 26, 1935. Alaska Electric Fower and Light Company officials said today that the half-hour interruption of ice was due to power trouble on the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company'’s line to Annex Creek. - .- i { EDUGATION BILL T0 GET AIRING NEXT FRIDAY | Public Hearmg Slated by House Committee to Get All Viewpoints A public hearing on House Bill' No. 10, which would repeal the| law passed at the 1933 session | making the Commissioner of Edu- cation an appointive office, has been set by the House Education | Committee for mext Friday, Febru-| ary 1, at 1:30 in the House Cham- ber. Considerable controversy has| arisen over the measure, some feel- ing it should be given another two years trial in view of the fact that the present Commissioner of Edu- cation was elected for four years prior to the passage of the act by the 1933 Legislature. Proponents contend it has not worked out satisfactorily in ‘the rural districts because it eliminated rural school boards and tends toward too much centralization of authority, The bill was introduced by William Growden. |PRESIDENT’S BALL !

The act provides, however, that animals shall not be killed ex: under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Commerce, so as to prevent the extinetion of sea lions as a species of interesting sea life in the waters of Alaska. A new edition of the circular containing the regulations pertaining to wal- ruses and sea lions, dated July 1, 1934, continues in force tr latfons that have been in e 2 number of years with r the killing of these animals Cbnistruction work at the Pribi- lof Islands in the fiscal r 1934 Was on a very limited scale because of the lack of funds.

Dorothy Lee Miller and Carol Llizabeth Long, of Kansas City, Kan., may not be rated as hero- ines among the men folks but the ladies of their home town think that the little girls deserve at least honorable mention as typifying the neighborly spirit and quiet heroism evidenced by many other workers on the Birthday Ball for the President. Last year, as candle-lighters for the huge Presidential birthday cake at Kansas City’s ball, the Misses Miller and Long, instead of retreating in panic, fought off the threatened attack of a mouse and routed him completely be- fore ladies in the huge audience could start a stampede for the door. The Kansas City affair in 1934 1s considered typical of 5,600 par- ties which will be held in com- | munities from coast to coast this Jan. 30, honoring the President’s | 53rd birthday anniversary, and raising money for local and na- tional work toward aiding vic- | tims of infantile paralysis and toward discovering an effective preventative of the disease, More than 4,000,000 persons are | expected to nttend but Dorothy and Carol report that no mice will be invited.
