Can & maa really love more t‘un; one woman at a time? And do:s‘ a man marry one woman to keep from being beseiged by many? These are but a few of the ques- | tions this picture attemptis to an- swer and does so with unusual grace and satisfactory results. | The stery concerns a successiul author, who, sated with life, is cuddenly discovered dead in his apartment. It looks like suicide, but murder is suspected. Into the investigation is dragged the man's former flames and the collection | of women is indeed an interesting one. { Lukas shines brilliantly in his | latest role, while his leadinz ladies | lsix of them, are as beautiful a! bunch of feminine charmers as| has ever been collected by a Hol- | lywood casting office. Just close | your 2yes and visualize Lelia Hy-| ams, Patricia Ellis, Lillian Bond, | Dorothy Burgess, Joyce Compton | and Dorothy Libaire, all in cne picture. | Preview Tonight I “White Woman” starring lovely Carole Lombard, which will be previewed at midnight tonight, is an exciting story of the Malay Jjungle. - GH ILLS THRILLS \ “HORROR” FILM ' ‘Monster Walks Is Excit- ing Feature Showing at Uptown ‘ | “The Monster Walks,” latest horror film to come from Hol- lywood intrigued audiences at the| Uptown Theatre where it opened ‘L\st evening. For those who like the sort of terrifying thrills that 1made “Frankenstein” and other famous horror dramas this is ex- icellent entertainment. Depicting the efforts of one man | to remove all possible heirs to a fortune left by the murderer's brother, it shows the diabolical scheme planned by the villain and |the usual way in which his plot proves a boomerang. \ Filled with spine chilling scenes| “The Monster Walks” is well cast| with Rex Lease heading a lis made up of Vera Reynolds, Mischa | Allen, Sheldon Lewis, Martha Mat- | tox, Sidney Bracy and. Sleep N’Eat, | a darky whose antics lend the| needed touch cof comedy.

The Native Brotherhood, Wran- gell Camp, following along the same line as the Young People's Advancement Club of Ketchikan, | wired objection to the proposed li- quor bills on grounds they are discriminatory to Indians. Court action has held an Indian who lives outside of a tribe and adopts civilized customs is a citizen, the wire stated, thus he should be al- lowed to buy liquor the same as a white citizen. Protest against the proposed gasoline tax was made by the Al- aska Air Transport of Fairbanks. The wire, addressed to Senator Frawley, reads: “We most eanestly protest the proposed legislation taxing gaso- line used by airplanes. We be- lieve air transportation will prove the greatest single factor in the development of the latent resourc- es of Alaska and that it should be élped and fostered to attain its full usefuthess and become a tedle, well equipped industry. If this tax is imposed it will ser- iously handicap the entire industry which is now fighting for a bare existence under adverse conditions.” SHOP IN JUNEAU!

Death, attributed to nephritis, oc- curred at 10:10 o'clock this morn- ing. | Although his friends here were legion in number, he left no known living survivors in Alaska. The Juneau-Young Undertaking Par- lors, which is holding the body pending arrangements, telegraph- ed: San Francisco this morning in an attempt t> locate a sister, be- lieved to be residing there. Mr. Horan, according to many of his oldtime friends, came to Juneau “somewhere around 1900.” He first took employment in the old Treadwell mine. Then, after a few years of mining, became as- sociated in the business for which he is best remembered here. He was employed by W. W. Casey, as a teamster. The claim was made for him today that Horan was “one of the best teamsters this town has ever seen.” With the advent of the automo- bile, Horan was employed on the steam shovel which straightened the course of Gold Creek. Later, he ‘was engineer in the Gastineau Hotel. Many tributes were paid to Ho- ran today as being one of the real founders of Juneau. Fire Chief J. L. Gray typified these tributes when he said, “The city has lost a true friend in Ho- ran’s death.” ¢ LA LR S Only 63 of the 170 members of the 1935 session of the North Car- olina general assembly had preve ious legislative experience, S AL SR DOWN TO THE SEA IN A WHEEL AND ON SADDLE The Girls’ Dare Club of Venice, Calif., ini e a new member into the beach club by strapping her into an eight-foot wheel, with a regulation saddle mounted. in the lower center.
