TRIXIE FRIGANZA
 COMING TO ELkS

The American public today wants to laugh they also want good music and good songs and as the result the com edies are being made more attractive by having musical and song numbers interpolated throughout the perform ances.
 Having this idea, MT. O'Day com missioned Elmer Harris who wrote "So Long Lefty" and Canary Cottage. 3 two of the very best attractions of this type, to write a piece that would carry out this idea. He first selected the famous comedienne, Trixie Fri ganza, as the star of his offering and had MT. Harris write the book to fit her. The result of all this is Poor Mamma, and today Trixie Friganza is touring the country in this piece and playing to crowded audiences nightly. The success was instantane- ous from her first night and now Trixie F'riganza in Poor Mamma" is one of the most successful offerings before the public. The date of Miss Friganza in Poor Mamma in this city is next Thursday night at the Elks theater. Seat sale begins at D. m, today

ADJUSTMENTS
GRIFFITH TRIUMPH ''BROKEN BLOSSOMS"
 AT TIE COLUMBIA

A screen tragedy-not a movie melo- drama with an unhappy ending-but a sincere human tragedy, that is what D. w. Griffith has had the courage and the capacity to produce in Broken Blossoms" the sublime triumph of the screen, which opens a four day en- gagement at the Columbia theater to- morrow.
 No expense has been spared by the Columbia management in putting this gigantic spectacle over in big league style" One of the big special features of the attraction is a prologue to be staged under the direction of Mrs. O. H. Mitchell and in which a company of five people will participate. It is based on that all too brief moment in the life of the bruised, little waif of the slums-When love dawned. It will be reproduced with the same painstaking artistry that characterized it's presen- tation at Clune's auditorium in Los Angeles. Elaborate stage settings have been secured for this feature.
 A ten-piece symphony orchestra will play the special music score, which is so essential to the success of all of Griffith's master offerings.
 The cast is one of unusual exceIl- ence, including the favorite Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess, Edward Peu, Normal Selby, (who is none other than the once famous prize fighter, Kid McCoy) and George Beranger.

Hip in his Aircraft success, "The Tiger Man"
 This is the picture which many critics have reviewed as presenting Big Bill' in one of the most difficult roles he has ever essayed. Like all his stories he faithfully maintains the locale of the west of yesterday, but likewise, as in all his stories, he chooses the man of calm, deliberate decision, and careful effective action, rather than the wild and woolly type, with the result that his pictures are a finished demonstration of excel lent acting, revealing a strong plot, and emphasizing the force of his won derful art.
 Tomorrow starts the engagement of The Girl Alaska" bringing to the city the first motion picture ever made on Alaskan soil. Aside from it's wonderful value as a dramatic offer ing, the picture will present many Alaskan scenes of much interest.

 The heroine of this story is loved by a common sense young man who wants to marry her She doesn't be- lieve in marriage, however, because it entails the sacrifice of her personal liberty.

TAFT AGAIN SUPPORTS WILSON

In these days when SO much partsanship ar sptefuness comes to us from political centers, the is inspiration in considering the consistent and p triotic cooperation displayed by former Presidel Taft Take his comment the Presidents figl to reduce the high cost of living, for instance, fo lowing so many other instances in which the san fine spirit was shown!
 Writing from New Haven the former Presidel sad

Most of his suggestions as to- supplemental, legislation to enable the executive to make examples of profit eers, everyone will subscribe to. The pro- posal to license corporations engaged in interstate commerce. better, to incorpor- ate them under Federal law, has been considered before It would have merit in it If the measure was fairly drawn so that while it brought methods of such business under easy scrutiny of Federal authority, it offered to those engaged Just protection against the nagging, provincial and unwise interference of state governments and com missions.
 But the message is not chiefly import ant because of its legislative recommenda- tons. Such immediate remedy as there is for the present situation in respect to high prices is much of it with the people them selves Prices have increased inevitably as the increase of the circulating medium, which is quite double per capita what it was before the
 "The Presidents reference to the need for speedy ratification of the peace treaty and the covenant of the League of Nations as an important aid in bringing about sta bility in business and a reasonable ad- Justment of prices has been attacked as an unworthy effort to array behind the League Of Nations the strong popular demand for relief from the high cost of living.
 With reference to such critics the Pres idents argument is fair and convincing one. Certainly when the treaty of peace ana the covenant ratified by the great powers and it is known that the united strength of those nations and of all the others is to be directed toward stabilizing chaotic conditions existing all over Europe especially in its central and east ern parts business of the world will nave basis upon which to determine a permanent policy.

A Welcome Service
Fairbanks Citizen ]

The proposed establishment of aerial servic( between Valdez and Fairbanks, announced ir yesterdays issue of the Citizen, will be welcomed benefits would be many, and undoubtedly the terprise would be given support by local merchants and private individuals in measure that would materially aid in making the venture profitable one
 The successful operation of such an aerial route would mean that the interior of Alaska would bt brought several days closer to the outside world The size of the machines which the corporation proposes to would insure the practical value o the route. The investment which the company is to make is not excessive and represents little more than is ordinarily tied up in equipment and stock by any stage company seeking to give adequate service between Fairbanks and the coast
 There is reason why such service should not be successful from the very outset The company is not experimenting with untried machine but with one that has demonstrated its serviceability The distance between Fairbanks and Valdez is not great, and the country is of such nature that the air passage would not be difficult The average winter weather should not be great handicap and this probably be entirely eliminated after few trial trips.
 The local Commercial Club has been for months agitating the establishment of aerial mail ser. vice from the coast to interior parts. has taken the matter up with the Postal Department and with the United States Chamber of Commerce. Now that an Outside organization has announced it's intention of entering the field, the club should get into com munication with the promoters and give them any data, or other assistance, it is able to supply.
