Interesting and WeIl-ToId Solution of the Unfinished Problem Story by Charles oiekens-at the Ly-
 ric Theatre Sunday.

The Lyric theatre is the most adapted place in the city for run ming big features, as it has the room and the proper ventilation and good accommodation for ladies and children, also gentlemen, so announces Manager Gross.
 The Lyric theatre also has an up- to-date equipment of machinery for pictures. and the best is guaranteed. The management also guarantees to the public of Juneau if they come out to the Lyric on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays, that they will see some thing out Of the regular run in motion pictures and in big features. The ad- mission is only 10 and 25c. owing that the Lyric holds from 600 to 700 peo- pie.
 The Lyric theatre will run from to 9-part special features every week. When Mir. Gross was in the States, he had secured the World Film Cor poration features. Box Office Attrac- tions, and the Fox Film Corporation. These corporations are the leading ones in the States for producing big features
 "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"-in five gigantic parts-is the first of these features to be run. 1t is made by the World Famous Film Corpora ton. the story is written by Charles Dickens. which he never finished. The story is clear and well told and follows closely in its earlier portions the line of development followed by Chas. Dickens. perhaps a little too closely its last respect as those who have not read the fiction story may have a little difficulty at first in realiz- ing the relationship of the characters On the other hand. the main mystery theme is SO clearly and Interestingly dealt with. the acting SO nearly per- feet that the spectator is held en-

THE RISING TIDE OF
 PROSPERITY CONTINUES

BOSTON. July 29.-The possibili- ties of the final American note re- maining a market factor seem very doubtful. No answer is required of Germany, no questions propounded- and though the message is in essence an ultimatum there is no time for a reply. Already early dispatches from Berlin indicate that there will be no rejoinder before the middle of Aug ust in all probability.
 If that is the situation it can be pre- dicted by the merest tyro that Amer ican business will not mark time in the interim. Already the Steel Cor poratlon is running at nearly full ca pacity and trade reports foreshadow further marking up of prices early in August Undoubtedly good per centage of this activity is due to war orders. but that phase simply strengthens the fundamental position as the big domestic business that win be created by the general trade inn proyement will be booked at the high dnd profitable prices.
 And the point is everywhere made that the railroad buying need not ap- pear for months to ensure the per manence of the present prosperity. How 1t can be many months longer delayed is hard to understand.
 Doubt as to the volume of the much heralded war orders should be large ly dispelled by the definite announce ment from the American Can Co.,. that S4O.OOO,OOO of munitions had been contracted for by the allies from it, and that the prospects were favorable to the doubling of this amount in the near future. It is evident that these orders are staggering in volume and in profits and their effect upon all business is bound to be very stim. ulating.
 The rising tide Of industrial pros perity. the steady improvement in railroad earnings. the wealth that is pouring out of the country's mines and the rich harvests just ahead ought undeniably to furnish the foundation
