PUPPETS" IS GREAT
 ACTION PICTURE; SELLS

Admirers of Milton Stills should not fail to see his latest First National starring picture, "Puppits", which opens at the Liberty theatre tonight. This is one of MT. Sills' best screen ef- forts in many moons. It is an excel lent picture, admirably directed by George Archainbaud, and has unusual settings, a fine story and real acting by a superb cast.
 "Puppits" is the story of an Italian proprietor of little puppit theatre in New York's lower East Side who meets the girl of his dreams and falls madly in love, E
 Sills does excellent acting and is ad- mirably cast in the role of Nicki. His work thru the picture is marvellous, and he rises to great dramatic heights in the scenes where he returns home deaf and tries to make Angela be- lieve he is all right.
 Miss Olmsted plays her part with understanding and sympathy, and Me- Donald makes a perfect william. It is an excellent picture and should please al. It was produced by Al Rocket who, with his brother, Ray, made that great picture, Abraham Lincoln"

NORTHERN NOTES

Engineers are now enroute to the Kantishna to examine what is said to be the largest deposit of antimony in the world. "Of course" MS. Lemons, of Fairbanks said, there is not brisk market for antimony at present. There are only three com panies in the world which can hand le large amounts of ore and am re- presenting one of these" Mr. Lemons has hopes of putting in 8 shelter in the Kantishna. If this fs done 1t will be necessary to build narrow gauge railroad about 50 miles in length to connect with the Alaska Railroad. If the report made by the engineers Is favorable 1t is probable that opening up of the pro perty on a large scale will start in the near future

New York, Feb. 23.--Helon Wills
our future Joyce Wethered.
Can you picture the sturdy little
Miss Poker Face, now sturdier
young woman, getting all the power
of her wrists into sizzling two
hundredyard drive?
Can you picture those well-mus-
cled forearms and shoulders click
ing off full irons to the pin?
Can you see the same logged,
plugging determination that carried
a young lass into an international
tennis final, overcoming equally try
ing obstacles in golf finals?
No? Well, there are two feminine
experts who can.
They are Glenna Collett and Mary
X. Browne.
Furthermore, they are going tc
try to make a golf player out OF our
Helen.
Il think Helen Wills is a poten-
tial golf champion, one who has
, everything a crack woman player
ought to have, and I think she can
be induced to take the game up
seriously says Mary X.
She is methodical rugged,
blessed with a powerful physique.
She has a golfers instructive form
and the balance that goes with a
champions game. She is a worker
and under expert tutelage can be
developed into headliner.'
Mary X. Browne ought to know
whereof she speaks. She has had
the unusual distinction of being a
tennis 1inalist and golf flnalist in
the same year G924). She insists
the two games do not conflict. She
/ finished her tennis and with only
ten days practice with her golf
| clubs went out and beat Glenna
Collett to gain her way TO the ma
tional fairway finals, where she sue
cumbed by close margin.
Helen is better fitted for golf
than she is for tennis" chimes in
Glenna. Tennis requires quick
thinking, quick acting, and light
ming speed. Helen is methodical,
steady and sure. l am surprised
she has not taken up golf. She is
better adapted naturally to the fair
way and green than the clay courts. -
Tennis versus golf. They do not
, collide, both stars insist. Essential
ly all sports are the same when >it
comes to form and balance.
