Sourdoughs, tenderfoots and others will be attracted to the Coliseum tomor- row night when Robert w. Services poem, "The Spell of the Yukon. will be presented on the screen with Ed mund Breese in the principal charac- ter.
 "The Spell of the Yukon is perhaps Mir. Services best known work. It Is the poem that he selected above all others to put in first place in his col lection, and which also carried the ti- tie of his famous book of poems. The pictured story deals with Jim Carson. the foreman of a sweat shop in New York. in love with Helen the steno- grapher. who returns his love. Jim has had several quarrels with the superin- tendent and when they carry their all tercation to the owners office Jim finds Helen apparently in the embraces of his employer. Jim misjudges her and later when his employer arranges to have it seem that he has falsified his accounts. in order to get him out of the way, Jim answers the call of the North. Arrived in the Yukon he seeks a friend. who has preceded him there and finds that he has just been killed by a half breed. leaving a baby boy behind him. Jim adopts the boy and they become deep ly attached to each other. while Jim is amassing a fortune in the gold fields.
 Jim's one idea is to square accounts with his former employer. who has since married Helen, and he comes to New York for that purpose. Jim finds him heavily involved in Wall Street and with his fortune crushes him. Temple. his former employer. sends Helen to Jim begging for mercy. Jim insists on full revenge. until he learns that the daughter born to Helen is his own child. How the daughter and Jim's foster son accidentally meet and fall in love. and how after their union Jim leaves for the North, alone. gives a romantic touch to the climax of su- preme appeal.
