What Is Neq,
on the Stage
By WALTER D. HIcRMAN

- o carry ten people on the
road for one vaudeville act
Is quite an undertaking.
There are ten dancers and singers
in Alabama Land" now on view at
the Palace. They have mixed smart
hoofing and rather good singing
with a revue idea The act is nicely
staged. The three dancers are good
on eccentric stepping along the tap
line. The impression OF a southern
quartet singing Jelly Roll" is one
of the winning numbers.
John Gano at one time worked in
the mines. but he had such a good
tenor voice that he is now on the
stage. He sings mostly in a for
eign tongue. Good voice. Viola AL
len is at the plano.
Toby Wilson is back again in his
Lonesome Town" a rube hokum
act. Still gets the laughs. Manila
Brothers have a good routine Of
tumbling and balancing stunts.
George Armstrong. a singer, has
some hopeless sentiment in his
songs. His songs are concerned
with harems, polecats and other
sweet-smelling sentiments. The
movie Is Mildred Harris in ''Unmar-
ried Wives"
At the Palace today and satur-
day.

ALASKA MOVIE TRUE PICTURE
 OF THE NORTH
NORMAN DAWN PRODUCTION AT kETCHlkAN RECEIVED MUCH
 FAVORABLE COMMENT.
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes with it's steaming Assures, lava covered land of dead forests, white wastes of ash and Mount Kat mai in flaming, belching eruption, the mountinous ice masses of the Arctic, turbulent rivers and wide peaceful valleys, of the interior and the forest ridged, flower-clad hills of the coast line of Alaska make the Norman Dawn Alaska produced film, Justice of the Far North" or The Eskimo true picture of the North land.
 Before leaving for the south last fall to complete the taking of the in- tsrior scenes, MT. Dawn and his company filmed a number of scenes in Ketchikan and on Pennock Is- land.
 The picture showed to a crowded house on it's initial showing here at
 
 playhouse the following night for the last time.
 Justice of the Far North" is ori- ginal in theme, portraying the love story of an Eskimo, the little known people of the far north, and the con- tinuity is so arranged as to show scenic views from the Arctic to- the southwestern and southeastern Alas ka coasts. Although much of the film is devoted to the incomparable scenery of the Territory, the produc- CTS have not obtained scenic effects at the expense of the cohesiveness of the story and the audience last night was we'll pleased.
 Of particular interest are the pie lures of the Valley of Ten Thousand

POLA PUTS HERSEF ON
 AUCTION BLOCK IN FILM

Slave markets of antiquity have their counterparts in modern life, ac- cording to Dimitri Buchawetzki, whose production Men" starring POli Ne gri, contains an illustration of how women are bought and sold today.
 Filmed by the Russian director as his first American made picture for Paramount, Men" contains the story of the amazing adventures of a French girl, "Cleo," who begins life as a waitress in afcheap wine shop and rises to fame as a dancer in Paris.
 The role of "Cleo" is played by Poli Negri. Surrounded by host of men who strive to win her favors by fair means or foul, she finally promises to give the privilege of her company to the highest bidder.
 Handled by the masterly direction of Dimitri BuchoweAki, the scene which follows is probably unsur- passed in the history of motion pie lures The camera moves from face to face where greed, passion, fear, avarice and desire are depicted upon each countenance Bidding, one against the other these men play the modern equivalent of the slave merchants of ancient times.
 Chosen to support Pola Negri in this powerful pictures of life among certain sections of European society which is at the Liberty theater, are we'll known players such as Robert w. Frazer, Robert Edeson, Joseph Swickard, Monti Collins, Gino Corra- do and Edgar Norton.
 Dimitri Buchowetzki produced Men" from his own original story which was scenarized by Paul Bern.

Smokes, which are said to be the first moving pictures taken in that district and which are expected to prove of unlimited value in adver- Using Alaska.
 The views of the ice masses in the Arctic and the glaciers are splen- did and the action of the theme showing the dog teams on the ice and the mishaps which befelI the characters were not overthrown, many of them being similar to true incidents which have occurred in the experiences of the old timers in the north. The scene showing two of the characters whirled on a raft down the river demanded courage of the players who actually performed the feat on one of the treacherous streams of the southwest coast and no doubles were employed.
 The rough hewn huts the sheet iron drum stoves, store goods piled from the floor, filtered shelves and unlovely furniture, perhaps not so artistic but truly more typical of the outposts of the civilization in the north, mark Justice of the Far North" a truly Alaskan picture at the outset and not some fiction of a scenario writer who has never seen Alaska and visions it as a place where the inhabitants live in palatiaI log cabins with nearly all of the modern conveniences.
 Some fine furs are also shown in the traders cabin. These furs were valued in excess of $1OO,0O0, Mr. Dawn told representative of the Chronicle when in Ketchikan last l fall, and from their appearance on 1 the screen they appeared to bear out the truth of his assertion Arthur Jasmine plays the role of the Eskimo 1 and does very creditable work in the | part. George Fisher in the heroic | lead is also excellent. Ilak, the wolf huskie owned by Mrs. Dawn, was instantly recognized by the smaller 1 children who saw the picture last night as, the dog which was so friend ly to them and which excited their admiration when here with Mr. l Dawn.
 Special music for the picture was arranged by H. L. Windus, organist for the Coliseum, and deserves spe- cial mention for its appropriateness to the picture.
 Justice of the Far North" has created wide intefest in the cities outside where it has been shown on account of it's scenic value and true portrayal of Alaska.

most weird of all Indian rituals
now practiced in America.
Thousands of tourists are at
tracted to Hopiland each year to
witness this spectacle, one of the
few tribal customs of the people
that the public may attend. 1t has
become known all over the United
States and other sections Of the
world.
The snake dance is the last of a
series of religious ceremonies con-
Quoted by theN Hopis generally in
August or September. There is no
fixed date for the rite, which de-
pends largely upon climatic condi-
tions.
For a week preceding the dance,
the tribesmen observe the customs
of their forefathers. These cere-
monies are sacred to the Indians,
no whites being permitted. In fact,
the snake dance, too, has been a
sacred rite through the years and
it has been only within the last
two or three years that the chiefs
nave p6IlulCCSu LuG Ldhll1S VI plC-
lures.
Snakes for the dance are gath
cred from the -four winds" For
weeks and weeks preceding the
ceremonial messengers search the
entire surrounding country for rep
tiles. Rattlesnakes are the most
preferred, but other species are
used
1t is not uncommon for the
dancers to be bitten by the snakes
during the dance. Fangs of the rat
tiers frequently sink deep into the
flesh, but the tribesman never dies.
A medicine, known only to the In
dians and supposedly prepared
from desert growths, is admins
tered and it counteracts the effects
of the venom.
After the dance the snakes are re-
leased to the north, the east, the
south and the west, whence they
came.

From Phoenix the villages are
reached by motor car through Pres
colt to Ashfork and Flagstaff and
then by the Tolchaco road to Leupp,
where the Little Colorado river is
crossed by a bridge, or through
Sunset Pass road to Winslow. The
distance from Phoenix is about $50
miles via Ashfork and Flagstaff,
or 'little less through Winslow.
Almost equally as interesting is
the Easter dance of the Yaquis,
This is strictly religious cere-
mony, held annually at the little
Yaqui village of Guadalupe, south
east of Phoenix about ten miles.
The dance continues from dusk
to dawn, the tribesmen dancing in
relay to the weird chants of the
musicians They gather in little
groups in mesquite tepees, as many
as 100 participating. The signifi-
canoe of the dance is known only
to the tribesmen, but it is a spec
tacle that attracts many thousands
each year.
Numerous other Indian rituals
are observed by the Arizona tribes
men each year, but none has the
widespread interest of the two

them are of comparatively short
duration.
