mOvtE DRAMA lN JUNEAU
 And Elsewhere
asnsraI EIIoksr News

Clyde titch's well known aidbt drama "The Moth and the Flame as filmed by the Famous Players and shown at the Dream last night is comedy-emotlonal-drama of the finest type. The story of the poor little misguided moth" fitting about the flame until 1t Is almost bewlldered by the glare, then suddenly wings away, is solemnly told.
 Every member of the large cast is perfectly placed in this produc- tlon. The scenes and the general fit- tIngs of the play are, admirably car. ried out in detail Several well known film artists appear in this and they create most favorable im- pressions. The South America tray- elogue Is shown as O fore piece and is thorough interesting and instruc- tive
 "The Moth and the Flame" will be shown for the balance of the week with special matinee tomorrow
 A magnificent picturization of the wierd poem; equlsite aIegorical scenes, powerfully acted and wIthal harmoniously staged-that can be said of "The Raven" Edgar Allan Poe's life and poem as screened at tho Orpheum last night. One will not be shocked by luridness nor will on laugh hysterlcally; one will not be of a contented mind nor care to witness It again, but one will have learned something and win marvel at Poe's life and the close blending of his "nevermore" poem. Henry Walthall is an actor. he proves 1t in this production, portraying a char acter unlike that ever before filmed, and warda Howard plays a dual will be given for the last time to- night.
 Betty Nansen- in her best charac- ter appeared at the Douglas orph- cum last night in "A Woman's Res urrection." Miss Nansen is surround ed by such people as Edward Jose William J. Kelly and Stuart Holmes. This Tolstoi dramatlzation is one that is different for the other plays. Miss Nansen Is seen, in one sense of the word, in a dual personality. She plays the young innocent girl admirably, then as the woman of the world, all but an outcast, she rises to real dramatic emotion. This bill will run for the remainder of the week.
 Just Jim" closed it's two nights run at the Douglas Lyric last night and has pleased for both evenings.
 "A Scarlet Sin" with Hobart Bos- worth as the minister and good supporting company. is a play of ex- ceptlonal interest. As the story is unreeled at the Grand a most strong plot is revealed. A young and pret- ty woman. used to the fbbles and foibles of luxury, suddenly trans ported to the homelier surroundings of life. listens to the tempter She yields. lives for a short time that life of deception and then is aban. doned. She goes back to the hum. bier life, to the one she deserted, and dies as the penalty for her wrong. This Scarlet Sin" will be shown for the remainder of the week.
 The Girl I Left Behind Me- one of the good. old-fashloned military plays, will be the Sunday bill at the Orpheum Robert Edeson will be the featured actor.
 Elsie Janis in Search of Thrnl' as Betty" will be the next attrac- ton at the Dream and the opening
