THREE EXCEPTIONAL
 ACTS ON LYRIC RIII

Starting rather slowly the Lyric bill o.lds with three exceptionally good acts, two of which are song and the other fresh and original comedy with dance finale. Of all the acts this week or any week the synco- pated jazz song act of Folly and Oz' is in a class by itself.
 Polly and Oz' could be billed as the don't care" couple. for little do they care for what went yesterday or comes tomorrow. for Polly and Oz are living and singing today. And so far as the song is concerned they start something. Oz Is the most joyous of pianists and sings batting and rais- ing his feet comically while Polly Is the very spirit of fun and music This act starts good from the attractive entrance and gets better until the last moment, which did not come un- til four encores had been presented. Everybody had a good time.
 The audience almost guffawed at the talkalog sllt of Melville and Rule, comedy couple, in the last act, man and a woman. The woman has the burden of doing most of the talk ing and puts the comedy into her lines of dry and apt sarcasm. Fun nier repartee could hardly be imag- ined while the cutting wit of the lines suit the strident and independent manner of Miss Melville, who can be most comically hateful This act held the crowd entertained until the last moment of the show with laugh ter and no putting on of hats.
 The other of the three best acts Is the musical comedy skit called "Typi- cal and Topical Tales" This act is | melodious with song and varied in form. It is presented In three scenes all song with dancing. The dancing is remarkable for grace and the voices good Lou Miller sings Tales of Hoffman" varying it with other operatic tunes very beautifully.
 An act featuring the talk of an in toxicated chap and a policeman who sings. and a manipulation hoop act complete the bill, being the first two. | Topics of the day and Charlie Chap lin comedy are also shown.

KATHERINE M'DONALD HAS
 FINE ROLL AT TRIANON

She Is a poor shop girl who in one day becomes the wife of man of wealth and social standing in Her Social Value" at the Trianoh this week. The play arouses the question, which shall be broken, mans social and financial life or womans heart. and the beauty of the film enacts the role of this woman in appealing fashion.

 An adequate cast supports Miss Macdonald. including such celebri- ties of the screen as Roy Stewart, Bertram Grassby Betty Ross Clarke. Winter Hall Joseph Girard, Lillian Rich Vincent Hamilton, Helen Ray mond and Violet Phillips.

KOYUKUK ARRIVAL SAYS
 PROVISIONS PLENTIFUL

There is a plentiful supply of staple provisions in the Koyukuk district this winter and considerable work is in progress on the creeks, according to Ike Spinks, manager of the store at Bottles, who was in Nenana this week on his way to the States on a combined business and health seeking trip. It is true, he says, that the steamer Teddy H. was unable to reach the upper Koyukuk on the last trip last season and that the cargo was discharged at Alatna But the cargo consisted chiefly of perishables so that the camp is really not suffering in consequence of the non-delivery of the supplies, as earlier reports received in Nena- na would seem to indicate It is the intention of Trader English and as sociates to move the perishables up the river over the ice later in the winter.
 Sprink not only declares that there are plenty of staples in the camp but also quotes prices, which he points out are not indicatives of shortages. Pillsbury flour is sell ing at S14 per hundredweight Drifted Snow at s12.5O, rolled oats at 1.25 per sack of ten pounds, cornmeal the same, butter S1.5O per can, sugar ST per hundredweight, rice S16.
 There is considerable work in progress this winter on Nolan creek Mir. Spinks says. The second bed rock has been abandoned and pros pecting is being done now on sev- eral claims on the upper strata of bedrock, which is found at a depth of about 60 feet.
 Shortly before the trader started for Nenana Jim Kelly, Jack Dowd and W. R. Ethesington arrived from the headwaters of the Bettles river with poke of dust weighing a. bout $500, and returned to their discovery almost immediately, vita supplies for further work. The strike created little excitement in the old diggings and considerable stalk ing has been done Oldtimers put a lot faith in the find and are looking forward to further good reports before spring.
 MT. Spinks left for the coast on the Tuesday train and will spend several months in the States.

The answer means a good deal to the

1t has been supposed that partridges

Agricultural college that in the Bay
State much similar damage has been
done by grosbeaks. IF this should prove
