CAMERAMEN WITH EXPLORER
 TO FILM HOP OFF FOR POLE


 Roald Amundsen left the Hammon Company office on 1st avenue on the first leg of his return journey 10 Wainwright, where his winter camp is established. Leaving the starting point behind a powerful team of 12 dogs, Amundsen went down D street to 3rd avenue thence east to B street and then headed north to the trail leading out beyond the Dry Creek power plant. Just as he rounded the corner and reached the Pangeman residence. the stanehlons on one side of the sled collapsed and the team was stopped until an- other sled was procured. At 12:55 the explorer again ordered his husk- ies to "mush on'' and the final get away was accomplished without fur ther accident.
 A number of friends were given to understand that Amundsen would leave via Solomon and Candle and accordingly went to Solomon to bid him a final farewell. Instead of taking the down coast route the Captain, accompanied by Ralph Lo- men, took the Kougarok route.
 The trip from Nome to Vain wright will take the greater part of one month, reaching the north ern destination about May 18th.
 The Captain has remained in Nome until the last minute, taking his departure during the period of the spring days when the days are long and warm while the nights are bright and cold. In case the days become too warm, travelling can be done during the night and early morning, but as he travels farther north the trail conditions will re- main colder than along the Boring Sea coast.
 Elaborate preparations have been made to feature the proposed trans polar flight of the intrepid explor- CT. Two teams will accompany him to his Wainwright destination and operators will take pictures both still and moving of each and every incl dent pertaining to the flight. In this manner the world will be giV- en an opportunity never before ac- complished, namely, moving pictures of a plane starting its flight across the top of the world.
 Private T. s. Pierce of the local Radio Corps has been granted i months furlough from the army and has been retained by Lomen Bros. to accompany Capt. Amundsen in the capacity of wireless operator and photographer. We are given to understand that receiving and transmission set will be picked up at Candle and taken to Point Bar row where there is a Delco Lighting plant large enough to operate the radio outfit. We are further giv- en to understand that the Delco plant is not large enough to permit sending messages as far as the No orvik station, but can be used in re ceiving. Pierce will endeavor to get in touch with Spitzbergen and receive information regarding the weather conditions which will de termine the time of Amundsen': flight There is much conjecture whether Amundsen will fly from Wainwright or Point Barrow. In late inter. view with the Captain just before he left Nome he was asked if ht would hop of about June 1st. H. replied "Ah, mo-" that he would not attempt to leave until the lat
 ter part of June, at a time wher . the sun is at its highest point
 (meaning thereby about June 21
 22) so as to get the best dayligh

Policy, who is the author of "Her
Fatal Millions" the production in
which Viola Dana is starring this
week, at Loew's Palace Theater,
will be offered as the attraction
at Leow's. Palace for the full
week beginning next Sunday after
noon. The production will be
amplified by an attractive and
unusual array of added screen
and musical numbers.
In 1.-THE Fog. is offered a
powerful dramatic production
which reveals the force of destiny
on the lives of two individuals
who, unknown to each other, are
drawn halfway across the world
to a meeting and love that fate
itself appears to have staged.
1t is also a story that has been
rendered additionally remarkable
by the unusual fame of it's cast,
which includes such well-known
players as Mildred Harris, Louise
Fazenda, Louise Dresser, Mar
jorie Prevdst, Ann May, Ethel
Wales, Cullen Lands, Ralph
Lewis, David Butler, Frank Cur
rier and Edward Phillips in the
principal roles.
The story reveals Mr.. lands
in the role of a rural post and
dreamer who is enveloped in a
fog of harshness and brutality
that threatens to crush his spirit.
In another town, Madelaine Thed-.
don, "a girl without a name," is
fighting her own battle against
Islander and the advances of
ruffian who has sworn to have
her. The only link between them
is A poem that the man has writ
ten and the girl has read, which
seems to join these two souls, un-
known to each other, in a strong
bond of sympathy.
Thus the two face the battle of
life. The man is almost crushed
by an ill-advised marriage while
the girls fight against the tongue
OF SANDER never ceases. Event
ually, the story reveals how
destiny seems to drag the two
clear to the Orient to stage there
the fateful meeting that means
happiness to them both. Miss
Harris il cast in the role of the
heroine.

There is, perhaps, no American
novel of the century which lends
itself more readily to. screen

the adventures, hardshlps, the
rampant greed and the devotion
which were so forcibly brought
out among the people taking part
