THEA IRE ATTR IONS General News of Local Theatres, Screen Stars
 and Features

tion to Pathe News features, made great hit at the Palace last night and will be repeated tonight.
 Do you possess a dress suit? Whether you do or do not. you should meet MT. Skinner. He does, and he will give you some enter- tainment with his dress suit which undoubtedly will prove the most de- lightful fun you have ever had.
 The adventures of Mir Skinner had his dress regalia are not reah though they do not miss life very far, at that. They are presented in feature picture filmed by Els sanay, the title of which is Skin ner's Dress Suit" ~
 The story was written by Henry Irving Dodge. Perhaps you read 1t in the Saturday ay Evenin Post, where it was published last year, The plot has been lifted bodily and masterfully visualized. Bryant Washburn, who enacts the role of the timid MT. Skinner, has given us one of the most entrancing bit of work yet registered by this notable screen star. The film is being re- leased by the Kleine-Edison-S -Selig- Essanay service, with screen time of one hour and ten minutes. ,. , MT. Skinner in the parlance of the street. is "poor boob" He wants a raise in pay at .ne big mer- cantile company where he works, but is afraid his boss will fire him if he asks for it.. Mrs. Skinner, however, is socially ambitious. She scoffs at her humble spouse's timid- ity and finally exacts promise from him that he will assert his rights at the office. But Skinner gets the proverbial cold feet at the last mo- ment. To "cover up" before his wife, he f1bs a little and declares he obtained the increase. On the strength of 1t. Mrs. Skinner makes her husband purchase dress suit and Spruce up." She also buys a new party dress and starts out to lionize the neighbors. Skinner sees his bankroll uying away, and debts deep chasm yawning before him. He has fibbed. though. and must stifie his protests. MT. Skin- ner's dress suit brings him .unex- pected prosperity. By virtue of his front he meets rich people and is enabled accidentally to put ever a big business deal for his firm He dashes into the office with his tremendous order and demands not only a raise but partnership in the firm, and he gets both. The moral might be that dress suit is the path to fortune.
 There are plenty of Skinners in

 PROSPECTORS WONT
 SUPPORT WICKERSHAM

The miners and prospectors in All aska are opposed to the election of Judge Wickersham, and will support Delegate Charles A. Sulzer for re- election, according to w. E. McKin- ney, leading miner and prospector of the Chisana country. MT. McKin- hey conveyed this information in a letter to James w. Mcdonald, who has been prominent in the North for many years.
 The portion of MT. Mckinney $ letter concerning this matter is as follows:
 Jim, you can tell Sulzer that there is hardly miner in Alaska that is prospecting miner-that will vote for Wickersham, for he is responsible for the now existing min ing laws and power of attorney

Tn revised Selective Service regu- lations, as received by Capt. J. J.

The board shall consist of three members, one appointed by the Department Of Labor, one by the Department of Agriculture and one by the District Board.

 The matter Is not then concluded, until it is determined whether or not the registrant is necessary to industry.
 The word necessary" as applied to an occupation means that the dis. continuance, the serious interruption or the reduced production thereof, will result in substantial material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective maintenance of the military establishment, the effective operation of the military forces ! of the national interest during the emergency. ter s elhsi

She Loves Adobe Hut.

The royal blood of old Castile runs in the veins of Vivian Rich, who plays the role of Dona in Will fam Fox's Mexican picture, "A Branded Soul" Though Miss Rich was born in southern United States, she comes of line of Spanish an- cestry whose deeds were celebrated in the chronicles of Castile and Ara gon, which will be seen at the Pal ace theatre Tuesday night.
 One surviving evidence of this is the estate in old Mexico which has been in the Rich family for years. On it is an old adobe hut, formerly inhabited by caretakers, now de- serted in favor of more stately hCme near the railroad.
 Once each year, Miss Rich goes to the ranch and passes two or three weeks in the 'dobe hut.

come of the vote In the Senate on wo-
man suffrage apparently was in great
er doubt tonight than has been any
action by Congress in many years
The only point on which advoca es
and opponents were agreed was that
tho House resolution proposing sub
mission to the states of the Susan B.
Anthony amendment TO the Federal
Constitution would be called up when
the Senate convcnes tomorrow. Both
sides expressed the greatest confidence
in the result. but IL was not certain
a vote would be reached before ad-
journment. although Senator Jones.
New Mexico. chairman Of the Senate
Woman Suffrage Committee. and other
suffrage leaders were determined to-
night 10 hold the resolution before the
Senate until final disposition.
foth sides expected only brief de-
bate on the resolution and believed a
vote would be reached during the day.
supporters of the measure said they
would have from one to three votes
over the necessary two-thirdS ma ior-
ity. but opponents privately expressed
complete confidence that they had
enough votes TO defeat the resolution
and thus prevent any further action
on equal suffrage until the SiXty-sixt
