"The Better Half" PIeases

The Better Half" Alice Brady's lat est scored a hit at it's first showing at the Columbia theater Yesterday. It will be repeated again today and Sat urday. The Better Half" is a story of twin sisters
 Alice Brady is seen as both Louise and Trixie, twin sisters who are as diff ferent below the surface as it is pos sible for sisters to be. Louise is a lovable child who grows to a fine type of womanhood, while her twin sister is selfish and churlish to an almost i'm possible degree, with hardly a friend in the world except her sister and Michael Thwaite, a cousin by adoption whom she eventually marries.
 During the course of the entire pie ture, Miss Brady's doubling is so clev- erly executed that it is impossible to tell which is she and which is her dou- ble. In many of the scenes, Trixie and Louise are actually Miss Brady herself One scene in particular shows two front views of Trixie and Louise al the same moment Both are posed -by
 Miss Brady and it is a mild statement to say that experienced directors l gasped when they saw the finished product on the screen.
 l A G3umont Graphic, showing Iatest world happenings, is one of the aug. menting numbers for today. The Pa. 1 clfic coast division of the film is es. pecially interesting, inasmuch as i
 shows many of the big happennings o the past week in pictures. A Stranc i comedy is the other augmenting film.

 GzzZ5sz-szExsseszsAEEfso a TIE MOTHER IN FILM WINS ALL HEARTS

There is much to commend the pie turization of Eden Philpott's famous novel "The Mother" which opened at the American theater last night for a three days run, but thS one essential outstanding feature, which will insure it's success, is the sustained human heart interest and once seen, will never be forgotten
 Elizabeth Risdon's wonderful charac- terization of the quaint, charming and lovable mother completely won all our hearts, carrying dack down through the years to home and to mother, with the wisdom of the ages in her quiet pas sionless eyes.
 The story lends itself beautifully to the elaborate scenic effects and strik- ing panoramic views. George Loane Tucker, the producer has taken ad- vantage of the splendid photographic possibilities. Selecting as the locale the hills of Dartmoor England. made famous by Lorna Doone and other widely read novels, the American pro- dCcer has secured a series of surpass ! ingly beautiful views embracing the quaint architecture and rolling eX- panses of England heretofore undis- covered by the eye of the motion pie ture camera. Mir. Tucker has also sue ceeded in securing a most realis.C moonlight effect, exquisitely tinted xsld toned
 The feature will hold the screen al the American for the balance of the week with matinees on Saturday and ! Sunday.
 The added comedy feature, Marie | Dressler in The Cross Red Nurse" is a decided laughing hit.

STORIES IF CRUELTY
 GETS DIVORCE FUR MRS. IAN HORNE

With the deposition of the plaintiff who is now in Dayton, Ohio, and the testimony of Miss Georgia Mintz, Judge Lyman yesterday granted divorce to Mrs. Olive Hawthorne who brought separation proceedings against J. R. Hawthorne, a railroad man, on the ground of cruelty.
 According to Mrs. Hawthorne's depo- sition, the couple married in Dayton in 1905 and separated in April, 1918, after she endured much unhappiness. She alleged that for months her husband would go without speaking to her, and that she passed most of her time in tears. She claims that Hawthorne would not take her anywhere, but that her cause for complaint was his bru- tality. She told of instances in which the husband is said to have greatly mstreated her, and contended that he stated he would rather cut off his right arm than give in"
 Mrs Hawthorne in her deposition declared that on more than one ucca- sion Hawthorne threw her out of bed The last happening, she said which was r immediately before their separation occurred at o'clock in the morning and she declared she remained on the porch until hours after daybreak.
 Miss AIintz testified that she heard Mrs. HaWthornes cries and went to heI neighbor whom she found on the porch and begged her to return to her home but that she chose to remain there After citing other acts in corroboratior with the plaintiffs cruelty claim, Miss Mintz was excused from the witness ] stand and the court granted the decree

RELEASES GIRLS WHO
 PASSED BAD CHECKS

That Hazel Tinney and Annis Weaver, 19-year- girls, arrested on the charge of passing bogus checks, were the victims of a forger, is the opinion of Justice Wheeler who yester- day dismissed the cases against the defendants.
 The young women told the story which they volunteered to the court when arraigned a few days ago. They said the checks were given them by J. B. Baker just as he was leaving town. He seemed to be rushed for time and stated that he had not a minute in which to buy them remembrances and asked that they accept the checks and make their own purchases. They passed the checks at the Boston store l and their arrest followed. ] The defendants were represented by i G. $.

A BLOW AT PATENT MEDICINES
(Literary Digest)

A physician in North Carolina sends to the Journal of American Medical Association an advertisement of a tonic" from which it may be learned in twentys four-p point black face cap itals-that the tonic" contains mo alcohol" Says this paper:
 One gathers from the less promi- nently featured parts of the advertise ment that the preparation does, how ever, contain post wine, This, in way, prepares one for the newspaper item which the same correspondent sent in forty-eight hours later. de- tailing the conviction of a Charlotte. N C., druggist of selling this nonal- lcoholic tonic to young men who, odd ly enough, after partalling of it be- came durnk and disorderly Counsel for the druggist maintained that if the tonic were taken according to direc- tions the medicine would not produce intoxication. But by an unfortunate faux pas, the young men failed to fol- low directions.
 Thus far the story is commonplace The unusual feature in the case is the judges charge to the jury He in structed these twelve good men and true to decide whether or not a patent medicine, which when taken in liberal quantities will produce intoxication, is an intoxicating liquor. The jury de- cided that such a patent medicine is an intoxicating liquor. Should this common sense and rather obvious find ing of the jury be held by the courts over the country generally the large business that purveyors of alcoholit lpatent medicines are expecting to de. velop after July l. 1919, will fail to ma

IDENTIFIED BY GIRL.
 NEGRO HELD TO TRIAL
 CHARGE BURGLARY

Jim Green was held to the superior court yesterday after preliminary hearing before Justice De Souza on a charge of burglary. The complaining witness was Silas Kirtsey who lives four miles west of the city. Last Sun day morning some one entered the Kirtsey home about 3: 80 in the morn ing, removed a pair of trousers from beneath the head of MT. kirtsey, took therefrom a pocket book, containing some notes, receipts and a little silver. The pocketbook and the papers were later found about the house. The marauder was in the room in which two little daughters of kirtsey slept, and both were awakened by him. i When the elder of the two called out, he whispered to her to keep still and l threatened to kiss her if she made an outcry. She continued calling and he i left the room and the last she saw Of 1 him he was running toward the road. 1 The little girl said that she identified him in the moonlight as Green, a tall colored man who had worked for her father several months.
 Green attempted to establish an alibi He said that he had been working near | Phoenix and that on Saturday night he went to the Wright lodging house, paid his bill, for his room for another week and then went to a picture show. He returned to the lodging house about midnight and saw the proprietor and several other men sitting in front of the house He went to his room and theT to bed where he remained until I o'clock next morning.
 The alibi was shattered by Wright who confirmed Green to a vital point and then went off at a tangent. H, said that it was about Il o'clock wher he next saw Green, who appeared il front of the house. He asked him i
 he was going to bed. Green replied that it was too early; that he was go ing to Gardner's club house. He say
 him no more that night. Green wa

The Curtiss plane will make daily flights between the plantations, and Phoenix and the plantations. The plane is of the latest i Curtiss wo-seater model, much the ] same as the Curtiss planes in use in | the army aviation fields.
 Lieut. o. P. Johnson American ace and veteran of the world war in the air, will be the head of the aeronauti- cal department of the company, and will act as pilot of the plane in it's daily flights. Lieutenant Johnson already is in the city and will make his per manent residence here. Under his di- rection, the department will help pave the way to commercial aviation on z large scale.
 Lieutenant Johnson an Ace Lieutanant Johnson enlisted in the America aviation service in the wal and received his training in Canada and England.

Since 1915 there has appeared in ab ,tldant numbers throughout the Southeastern and Westward Alaska what l shall call the Jack Sal mon" for want of better name.
 Description of this fish is as fol- lows: Length from 12 to Is inches, and in appearance resembles more the Coho species Out of approXi- mately 5000 not a female fish found are in ripe spawning con dition when they enter the fresh water; appear to be an immature specie, but spawn deteriorate more rapidly than the full grown fish spawn and die; on account of the small size of this fish traps do not capture the mas the mesh is too large.
 For the salmon fisherman who is interested and may know some of the habits of this wanderer, living examples of this specie may be seen in the aquarium at the hatchery building at the A. B. Hall for a short period Gas they all die in captivity owing largely to a lack of salt water)

"WHAT WOULD ROOSEVELT DOT

JUNEAU, Oct. 27.-To the Editor aspirants for political recognition and notoriety throughout the country are blatently asserting these days that Theodore Roosevelt. were he liv ing. would oppose with all the vigor and energy that chara6 terized his useful and active life the proposed League of Nations as framed and en dorsed by President Wilson. Even here in Juneau we have heard the question What Would Roosevelt Do?"
 It is not necessary to go very far back into history to obtain a very fair idea of what Roosevelt would do and what he would think concerning the League of Nations were he still living. In fact, the late and lamented Roosevelt was the frs American to mention the matter of 2 league of nations and he went on record as favoring such internationa treaty as far back as 1910. It was on the occasion of his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize for his success full efforts in bringing about peace between Japan and Russia. On thai occasion MT Roosevelt said: Tt would be a master stroke Ii those great powers. honestly bent or pence, would form a league of peace not only to keep the peace among themselves. but to prevent. if neces sary, by force, its being broken by others"
 The writer submits that the fore going is about as near to President Wilson's League of Nations as one could possibly predict .seven years before the United States entered the war.
 And Theodore Roosevelt was 10C per cent American.
