Rex Beachs we'll known novel
kept the audience entertained from
the first scene until the final fade
out. Goldwyn's production of Rex
Peach's world famous story of
Alaska is the biggest dramatic
thunderbolt ever to hit the silver
sheet barring none. 1t is not merely
a picture of action. 1t has back of it
that psychological force that will

dous probationary selected cast
of capable performers-by one of the
worlds greatest authors and at
popular prices.
The story has been handled in a
big way, sweeping through for two
solid hours that pass like one. The
dramatic scenes are numerous and
capably handled. The blowing up of
the mine holds YOU in suspense and
it makes you feel as though some
thing big and smashing Is going to
happen at almost any minute. The
director has made every movement
throughout the film count and has
succeeded in injecting that atmos-
rhere which is so indispensable to
production of this kind.
The cast is unusually long and
notable one. Milton Sills makes the
hero a likable character whose diplo-
macy. Quickness and final display of
physical courage in opposing even his
own companions IN the methods they
desire to use against the interlopers
who have jumped their claims-his
performance is most pleasing. In his
light with Noah Berry you are made
o feel that he has the power OF
light. Barbara Bedford is a splendid
ype and splendid actress in the
eading feminine role, and Anna @.
nilsson gives fine portrayal of the
ather unusual type of role of Cherry
darlotte and Robert McKim gives
distinguished performance. Through
out even to the smallest role it's per-
fect.-Ady.

 Commander John Rodgers, U. S.. N., commander of the naval air forces here, said that while he con- sidercd the hop from San Francisco to Honolulu as stunt" he hoped it could he made. He regarded the route from Honolulu to Australia as practicable and estimated that it could be covered with one of the navy's new type planes in six days, . as compared with the present steam CT time Of II days.

With this accomplished the flight 10 Manila could be made in easy stage. with stops at Johnston Island. Ja- Init Island, Panape and the Pelew group.

LETTER FROM RUTH BURKE TO
LESLIE PRESCOTT, CONTINUED
OF course, Leslie, you know that
Julia Ansted wants to have an inter
est in the shop. She has made a
wonderful manager, and sometimes
think it is due as much to her as &c
me that it has been successful. Not
withstanding, you seem to think l
am absolutely necessary to it's pros
perity. What would you think of
giving her small interest in IT?
That would leave us in comparative
independence of it.
Write and tell me what you think
of the plan.
don't imagine you will BE- home
very soon, if your love has not made
you too fearful of your fathers CON
dition, and he is not better Than you
think.
My heart goes out to you and to
your mother. The sufferings Of those
we love are perhaps the hardest
things we have to bear in this world
We can suffer our own pains. our
own misfortunes, our own mental
hurts, because most of us have
hearts that are stout enough to bear
the ills that come to us; but always
we seem to feel when we see the
sufferings OF those who are very dear
to us, that we must give them some
impossible relief.
However, my dear Leslie. you
have one great solace. Your father,
my dear. is a great and good man.
Whatever comes, that satisfaction
cannot be taken from you. 1t is the
greatest heritage he can leave to
you.
This is a very long letter, my Gear,
and there is still much 1 would like
TO say. But after all, when one
wishes really to comfort a friend.
one must talk face to face. So I will
just add the words
Until soon. RUTH

How, indeed? Love is the most
inconsistent thing on earth-except,
the men would say, women. Our
friend, Dan Cupid, not only mates
people; he mismates them, as well.
He turns shy men into cave men,
under the influence of love; he makes
wonan.haters forget their TRADES
against marriage; he produces the
most domesticated husbands out of
the gayest bachelors.
Then how is one to make general
rules? 1t just cannot be done.
Whether it is man or girl doing the
wooing, he must diagnose" the case,
and proceed accordingly.
Even then, there can be no guar
antee of success, because
None is more inconsistent than
Dan Cupid.

Dear Miss Lee: Last October I met a
very handsome young fellow. My folks
like him very well and l am deeply in love
with him. but 1 feel almost sure it is one
sided love.
I began going with him in July for the
second time.
How can 1 win his true love? Every
night we are together we have little
quarrel. 1 rather think he's sore at me
now, because it's two weeks since 1 have
seen him. can hardly stand it.
BETTY.
There is no recipe" for winning
love, Betty. Each case must be
treated individually.
However, I can give you a hint: I
think it not improbable that you
