W. B. Kirk, W. S. Pullen, J. P. Anderson and John Reck were re- elected directors for two-year terms of the Southeast Alaska Fair Association. J. F. Mullen and L. H. Smith were the holdover members. President Coolidge on this day nominated George A. Parks to be Governor of Alaska, succeeding Gov. Scott C. Bone whose term was to expire in June. The latter did not want a second appointment although he could have had it. “The Silent Call” with Strongheart, the wonder dog featured, was the coming attraction at the Palace and “The Valley of Silent Men” was to be the feature at the Coliseum. Miss Geralda Barker and Selim Jackson were united in marriage at the home of U. S. Commissioner Felix Gray in Douglas this night. “Green Stockings,” a comedy, was to be presented at the Palace Theatre this night by members of the Juneau High School for the benefit of the students going to the inter-school event to be held at Ketchikan. Among those in the cast were Harriet Barragar, John Halm, Ed Garnick, Clayton Polley, Constance Eaton, Natalia Kashevaroff, George Sarvela and Rachel Fisher.
