GREAT BILL AT CAPITOL.

One should not miss the current Anniversary Week special Keith vaus deville bill at the Capitolthe balance of the week 1t contains seven of the greatest acts tlfat have ever been presented her. Topping the bill is Ann Francis, the sunshine girl, and her Collegians! Genaro- and Cayerly offer Immigration" a comedy act with tho plot at Ellis Island where one is an immigrant and the other the Customs Inspector. The Me- Caulister Sisters are juvenile per- formers and were well liked yester- day for their good entertainment. The Herberts start thelshow with a very fast gymnastlc act that is both thrilling and sensational. Patricia Fay & O.. are worthy of special mention for the very fine act they offer. Billy McDermott, the last snr- vivor of Ccxey's Army, had the 8u- dience in an uproar with his tramp monologue and burlesque songs fin ishing with an imitation of Sousas band playing the Stars and Stripes Forever" Harrison and Dakin with Billy Hogue takes the real honors and the biggest hit of the bill with their very clever offering The Three of us"' This is positively the great est act that Capitol patrons have seen here this past year and should not be missed by anyone. The fea- ture photoplay presents Zane Grey story, The Fighting Coward" with Ernest Terrence, Noah Berry and Mary Astor.

DEMOCRATS OF GEORGIA
 READY FOR PRIMARIES
Question Of Hardwick Comeback One Which Will Be Decided
 On September 10.

Atlanta, Sept. 5--"Wlll Thomas w. Hardwick be able to come back?" Is @ question which will be answered by the Georgia Democrats when they vote in the statewide primary Sep tember 10.
 MT. Hardwick is seeking the seat in the United States Senate now held by W. J, Harris, of Cedartown, who defeated him in 1918. Two years later, MT. Hardwick was chosen governor over Clifford Walker only to be beaten by the latter when he ran for reelection two years ago. MT. Hardwick also contested for the unexpired term of the late Senator Thomas D. Watson in 1922 which seat was won by W. F. George of Vienna.
 This year the former governor and former senator is opposing the man who beat him six years ago for the Democratic nomination. Democratic nomination in Georgia is equivalent to election.
 In this campaign Mir. Hardwick scored the Ku Klux Klan. He also attacked the record of Senator Har- ris. The latter is asking the voters to give him another term on his record at Washington. !,
 Governor Clifford Walker is un- opposed for renomination.

CAPITOL;S NEW POLICY.

Beginning Monday, Sept. s, the Capitol thsater will begin a new policy of three continuous shows every day, the same as the perform ances have been conducted on Sat urdsys. This new policy was deterL mined by the management at the request of many patrons. who com plain that they are unable to attend the performances because they can not secure seats when they get to the theater, also from many others who would like to attend the show later in the evening and miss half of the vaudeville when they arrive, Three shows daily will also give many people chance to see the en- tire snow repeated again after<the first matinee performance. This will be of interest to many of the high school and Normal school students as many attend after school and can see just the last act and the feature photoplay. With three shows daily there will not be the big rush at the theater box office as there has been in the past as many will now be able to come bit later and still see the entire show and also be able to- secure seat. The management has made arrangements for this policy with the staff of the house. vaude- vile exchange and musicians, and will cost considerable more money to operate this way, but as long as the performances will satisfy patrons more the management will gladly spend the additional cost if the the ater will be in opposition to give it's patrons better service. This policy works extremely well in most cities throughout this state and the new policy will no, doubt be big help to theater patrons in this city as well. The vaudeville, under this new system will be shown at 2:45, 5:45 and S:30, while the feature photo play will be shown at A., z and 9:3O.

The route lay across the treacherous fee of Kotzebue Sound fifty miles wide. and the wind. swept wastes of the Arctic coast He has travelled over the entire coast region from Point Barrow tc the Pacific Ocean with reindee, and the greater part of the interior of Alaska with dogs.

BATH HOUSES ERECTED

What enthusiasm and energy can accomplish was fully demonstrated last Thursday night when two bath houses were built at the Wrangell bathing beach in remarkably short space of time. The Recrea- tion Committee of the Civic Club consisting of Mrs. Cochrane. Mrs. Gartley and Mrs. Patterson, ably assisted by Miss Margaret Grant, were responsible for this valuable acquisition to the joys of sea bath ing and that the people who fre- quent the beach during the summer months will appreciate the houses is an assured fact.
 When the men whose services made the buildings possible arrived at the beach armed with tools, lum- Der and nails were at ahnd and the ladies of the party had prepared a substantial supper. After the edi- bles had disappeared, the builders under the expert direction of Ole Johnson and D. G. w. Morris, caus. ed the bathhouses to appear as fl by magic. Only the doors, signs and few other improvements re main for another occasion. The thanks of the Civic Club are duo the Redmen for the permission granted. to build the houses on theil dock, a location which is particular ly good. The buildings, one oi which is for women and girls, ar, for the use of all bathers who visi the beach and the committee asl only that they be left in as good or dre as they are found.
