BLANCHE SWEET IN THE DUPEv AT DREAM.

Blanche Sweet is always popular with Juneau audiences and the matinee and the two performances last night at the Dream substantiates this statement Its a good show was the verdict of those coming out last night. Miss Sweet is seen in sympathetic charac- ter-just like she can play-and her leading man is Thomas Meighan. There are two other strong characters and several well balanced ensemblcd scenes. The plot is about a society woman try ing to use her private secretary as a dupe to get a divorce from her hus- band. She nearly succeeds-but that is the big climax. The comedy feature is a great fish story and took well.
 The Capital City Trio in tabloid minstrel show, occupy about IT min- utes and put over some good jokes and songs Everything they did at the two shows last night was encored. showing that the people liked this di- version.
 The movie bill and the trio will be on tonight and tomorrow.

SPLENDID BILL GIVEN AT THE COLISEUM.

From the first row to the last row in the 1oges, they laughed and then laughed last night at Charlie Chaplin s "The Cure" and at the same time en- joyed immensely Emmy Whelan in ''Ta- bles Turned" in a most finished five part Metro.
 "'rhe Cure" without any lying is the best Chaplin comedy seen in Juneau. The lap stick work is missing, there is no throwing of custard pies, etc. but the comedy is great, new and a scream. Charlie goes to get rid of the liquor habit and takes with him to the sana tarium trunk full of booze. What becomes of that booze and the great work it accomplishes is the story.
 Tables Turned" is plot dealing with man who believes he has faked a marriage with a pretty girl. Then he tries to turn the girl down to marry another--then the big climax. There is a cafe-cabaret scene with a bunch of pretty girls in late dances in this production which gives spice to the feature.
 This double bill runs tonight and to- morrow.

 Some of the most sensational epi- around Evers. the most noted per haps being the famous game be- tween the Giants and the Cubs in 1908 when the undying Merkle in- cident took place. It was Evers who made the put-out that day and wrecked the Giants chances of talk ,ng the pennant.
 Evers played ball for the first sime with the Troy club of the New York State League in 1902 The following year found him at sec )nd base for the Cubs and he play that position for the Chicago team until 1914, when he joined the Braves.

 All this money has been accu- mulated since Willard defeated Jack Johnson at Havana in twenty-six rounds on April 5, 1915.
 Tom Jones backs up these figures. Tom. you know, piloted Willard to the championship, and was short circuited recently when the cham pion bought the circus with which he had been exhibiting and decided he did not need partner for his financial joys and sorrows, princi- pally joys, any longer.
