This he has done in The Alaskan"
This story caught on a real he-man
stuff and so Paramount decided that
Meighan should play the part Of
Curwood's latest hero. When you
think of Alaska. It seems to me that
you always think of a fight. And
there is some battle IN THE Alas
Kan" This battle lasts for nearly
a third of the film. Meighan uses
his fists and even his feet after his
revolver is emptied against his enc
mics.
Sometimes It is easy to tell the
story, but think 1t would be taking
away much Of the pleasure in seeing
the picture if I told the story. The
Curwood fans have already digested
It on the printed page.
The picture has natural scenery.
Not studio built stuff, but the real
article. open spaces, rivers, snow
capped mountains. real Alaskan In
dams and the Ike. There is much
natural beauty to this film
Meighan and Estelle Taylor have
the chief roles in this romantic
story Of Alaska. There Is a lot of
interesting melodramatic suspense
You are kept guessing most Of the
time whether Estelle S actually for
or against our hero. But a fash
back finally proves that she IS as
true as gold TO him. The boat scenes
are well handled. but the picture gets
fits big punch from a gun and fist
battle.
The cast is as satisfactory as the
scenery. The directing IS all that
it should be. The photoplay has
caught the spirit of the North.
Rather think you will enjoy this
real red bIooded story. At the Ohio
all week.
The bill includes organ music by
Lester HUFF, selections and special
numbers by the Charlie Davis Or
chestra and a Spat comedy.
At the Ohio all week.

Foley is dark complexioned, with

BANKER SENDS
FORMER WIZ E
TO N. Y. JAIL

NEW YORK, May l4.--Martal
difficulties of Beverly d. Harris,
former vice president of the Ma
tional City Bank, and Eleanor
Il&ine Lee, bade fair to equal the
bitter quarrel between w. Il. d..
Stokes and Helen Elwood, follow
ing the latest turn in the action
brought by the banker to annul his
marriage.
Harris caused the arrest of his
wife late last night for forgery in
connection with a letter she recent
" filed in court in Il move TO re-
open the ease and she was still in
Jail today.
The arrest came unexpectedly.
Mrs. Harris was in her apartment
in big Broadway hotel debating
the story of her life to n newspaper
woman when Harris broke in with
detectives and ordered her arrest
ed. She pleaded with him in vain.
Attorneys for Mrs. Harris were
unable to raise bail because of the
late hour and the southern girl spent
the night in Jail. She expected to
raise the bail during the day.
The letter which caused all the
trouble was submitted by Mrs. Har-
ris recently and purported to be a
copy of note the banked had sent
to another woman. In it Mrs. Har
ris was completely exonerated of
charges of misrepresentation of her
social and moral status prior to her
marriage, on which the annulmcnt
action was based.
Attorneys forecast a bitter strug-
ole as a result of the arrest.
