KIPLING TALE
ON COL UMBIA
SCREEN

To. see Percy Marmont, the
British film star, in two. pictures
during the course Of a single
evening is to strengthen the i'm
preston that here, indeed, is
genuine addition to the ranks of
capable players After having
viewed his first American pro-
duction, IF Winter Comes" mis-
Paramount picture, '.'The Light
That Failed at the Columbia
came as most gratifying finale
to fine afternoon.
1t is a reasonable argument.
that no picture is better than the
story 1t attempts to tell. Equip
ped with so strong an opds as
Kipling's most famed novel. The
Light That Failed is assured of
success in .unstinted measure
from the beginning of things.
Add TO such tale q cast such
as Director George Melford has
assembled, and head il with as
fine a performer. as Percy Mar
mont, and you have something
that attains very neareto perfec-
ton.
Marmont is Dick Heldar in the
flesh. Those who have read
Kipltng's book--and few who
have read it have not returned to-
peruse it a second time will see
in this Engtishman a living re-
creation Of the living, breathing
character that walked the pages
of the book. His every move
is as Kipling painted him. Above
all, he is sincere-he is no mere
puppet turning on and off a
range of labeled emotions. He
is the man Dick Heldar would
have been had there really been
a Dick Heldar. The rest of the
cast is worthy in proportion. "A
funny Ben Turpin comedy, plus
news and overture, are included
on the bill.--R. l.. B.

PICKED INDIAN
 TEAMDEFEATED
 BY HILLTOPPERS
Juneau High Hard Pressed by Indian Five, Wins Score,
 of 34 to 27.


 Juneau High School defeated a picked Indian team last night at the High School gymnasium by a score of 34 to 27, after trailing along in the dust for the greater part of the game. The Hilltoppers, however, switched men from their usual positions and played without Jimmy Barragar, who has 'been the leading scorer on the team this season.
 The Indian team was the best com binat5on the local tribesmen have put together this season and with more practice and experience will give it's paleface opposition plenty of competition. In Watson, Collier and Mercer, it has the makings of three good basketball players. Watson lis a natural shot, good passer and quick Collier puts up a good floor game and Is hard man to guard Mercer is clever little guard, who can shoot as well.
 The HilltoPpers started out with Britt switched to forward in Bar. ragar's position, while Holmquist went to center Janiksela was in the other forward berth. The team looked ragged and it's work was be.
