THE TIRE ATTRAC IONS General New. of Local Theatres, Screen Stars

'riod of two months. Miss Tal- madge's characterization of the Mountain Girl is generally conceded to be one of the pronounced hits of MT. Griffith's mammoth production.
 That it was necessary for her to drive a chariot at break-neek speed in advance of the hords of Cyrus, in the vain but heroic attempt to save the man she loves, BelshaAzar, and the wonderful city of Babylon from destruction at the hands of the Persians, rendered it most essen- tial that she master the charioteer's art
 Miss Talmadge, who is a veritable daredevil, as well as an all around athlete, a powerful swimmer and an accomplished horsewoman, declared she would prove a proficient char ,ioteer within two months. Two professional charioteers were i'm mediately engaged and Miss Tal- madge went at her task with great enthusiasm, practicing at every available moment with the unheard- of result that. at the end of her self-appointed time, she was driving a two-horse chariot with the same daring skill and speed of the pro- fessional charioteers. When it is considered that it requires years of experience and application for some of the most experienced horsemen to learn to drive chariot, it will be realized that Miss Talmadge's s feat is nothing short of marvellous.

THE OTHER MAN" WILL BE SEEN AT PALACE THEATRE.

The attraction at the Palace to- night ana tomorrow matinee is the story of 6 great love found at the end of "a trail of sorrow" entitled "The Other Man"
 The world suddenly went dark for Dr. John Stedman when his friv- olous butterfly wife took the step that forever destroyed his confidence in her. And from a famous sur geon, wealthy, with liveried ser wants at his command, he became, in a surprisingly short space of time, a penniless outcast, laughed at even in the slums of great city. For the trip down the toboggan was made rapid by drink and despair It had taken him years to reach the dignified position of Dr. John Sted- man. It took him but few few weeks to hit the lowest level of so- ciety as Martin West"
 And then, treading the shadowy path of sorrow and humiliation, Martin West" came out into the highway illuminated by the radiant glow of pure, unselfish love. To tell this strange story of adventure that befell Martin West" would be to spoil tito dull it's powerful and unexpected climax. But every hu- man emotion finds full play in the unraveling of this far from-ordinary photoplay.

Gastineau Gossip (An Intercepted Letter)

Dear Mary.
 Juneau is in the throes of a bliz- gard. It has been showing and blow ing since the first of the week but this morning (Friday) the first Takl of the year started in-and how it has been raging ever since. # # # Thursday morning the Princess So phia had a sudden inspiration and tried to hurdle Vanderbilt reef, got two-thirds across, liked the location, and decided to stay awhile.
 # # #
 There has been no boat from. the South for a month of Sundays, hence no one has any mail and as nothing has happened here there is very little to tell you.
 # # !.
 This is what one of the last Post Intelligencers said about Mrs. Ma hone:
 Mrs. P. J. Malone, former chair man of the Red Cross Chapter at Juneau, Alaska, has come to Seattle to reside while her husband is away in service. Mrs. Malone will con. sistant in the bureau of nursing, White building. Mrs. Malone has done splendid work in Alaska. She brings word of the intense patriot ism of Alaska people, as well as the Natives. The Indians have done
 some exceptional knitting for the Red Cross, she says"
 # :x # Practically the only entertainments in Juneau this week have been two splendid movies. "The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin" at the Palace, and Intolerance" at the Coliseum. At the Beast of Berlin," one night, some one unintentionally applauded the German soldiers when they were shown marching through Belgium never heard such hissing. What wouldn't have happened if he had done it unintentionally" " f It will have to be a pretty small germ that can sneak into Juneau tc spread Spanish influenza. The town is so carefully guarded that it makes one feel that no epidemic will start here. However. it is being guarded against. and when 1t does arrive, as it possibly will, Juneau will be pre- pared for 1t. Governor Riggs and Dr. Sloane are doing everything they can to prevent it's arrival, though. # E x Young America is happy. None of the crossings are safe now for the pedestrian. Every boy and girl in town has sled out on one of the hills. The Juneau Chapter of the Red Cross had it's actual meeting this week and reelected the executive committee. The heport made by Mrs. Willis, chairman of the Chap ter production, was splendid. The Juneau Chapter has made 77,OOO arti cles during the last year, but in cludes everything from moss pads, T-bandages, and hospital shirts to Christmas boxes and refugee dress. les. MT.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS ABOUT DELEGATE
 SULZER

Suppose Sulzer had been Delegate when the Democrat ic Alexander bill was intrO- duced, instead of Wickersham, what would be the result? It is possible MT. Sulzer, who is a harmony candidate would have fought the admin istration bill? Hardly. ."-Ju- neau Dispatch, October IF, 1916.
 The Dispatch put problem before the people of Alaska, thinking that situation never would arise. Mr. Sulzer was elected Delegate from Alaska. took his seat and was looking after the interests of the Ter ritory when the Alexander Fisheries bill came up. What was the result? Did MT. Sul- ger fight it? He did. not with buster or an extension in the Record speech" but by going to Congressman Alex ander, showing him that the people of Alaska were op- posed to it and that it was not to the best interests of the country. The result of these arguments by MT. Sul- ger was that MT Alexander virtually withdrew his bill and gave way for the bill intro duced by the Delegate from Alaska.
 That's the answer to the Dispatch question.
