1.-THE Spoilers"

The thing that stands out most
wildly in the minds of those who
have seen the production of the photo
play of "The Spoilers" from Rex
Beach's novel. is the fight in the latter
part Of the play between William Far
mum, as Glenister, and Thomas SAINT
schi, as the villain of the play. The
fight between these two has become
historic in photoplay annals as one of
the most realistic fistic encounters
that was ever staged as a part of a
dramatic entertainment.
The production of "The Spoilers"
marks very distinct place in photo
play history. 1t is said to have been
staged in Alaska in the original set
tings of the story, and was made un-
Ger the joint direction of the author
and of Mr.. Santschi. 1t was one of
the first efforts of William Farnum as
a photoplayer, and served to establish
him so firmly in the hearts of the peo-
pie who patroni@ed the screen drama
that he is now regarded as perman-
ent film star.
No less important is the appearance
of Kathlyn Williams in the part of
Cherry, the dance hall girl, whose
love for Glenister is so unselfish that
she sacrifices her own feelings for her
desire to have him succeed in foiling
the efforts of the political CLIQUE that
is endeavoring to steal his mine. Most
of the parts in the long cast are very
well filled. Will be shown at Elkton
Opera House. Saturday. March 4th. ad

MUSICAL TREAT IS
 GIVEN BY A CLEVER
 LADY AND ASSISTANT
AiIeen Ferluce and Prof. Howe Appear in Splendid Concert at the Dream; Same Bill
 in Douglas Tonight

A rare treat was given the music lovers of Juneau Saturday evening at the Dream Theatre in the concert by Miss Aileen Ferluee and Prof James Hamilton Howe. Miss Feruce was in good voice and all her num- bers were generously encored.
 Frlsson, French Waltz Song was charmlngly and captiyitatlngly given and showed great latent dramatic ability as did also Habanera, from Carmen. given in costume in which Miss Ferluce depicted, with great versatility the various coaXing, plead ing and scornful moods of the ca precious Spanish beauty.
 In an there were four groups or songs rendered. and four single num- bers. each with q change of costume, and the costumes, as well as the songs. were charming.
 The selections of Prof, Howe were thoroughly enjoyed and proved him to be finished artist with wonder, -ul technique, but he should have had concert grand to do his playing justice.
 The concert will be repeated again this evening at the Douglas Lyric.
