 COLISEUM TONIGHT

The mountains began to do a Charleston while Tom Mix had his company in the desert making scenes for "No Mans Gold" Fox Films version of J. Allan Dunn's widely read novel, which opened last night at the Coliseum and is on again tonight.
 The outfit had just sat down to luncheon. The tables were in Cathedral Canyon. in the shade of an overhanging ledge of rock some 200 feet above. The chuck wagon had just started to give out it's savory feast and the crew of fifty-three with Mix was hun 6ry.
 There was rumbling of the earth, the tables heaved like a ship in a storm and the mountains started to 60 a Charleston.
 The men cast a wild look around and when the overhang- ing ledge of rock was spied there was scramble toward the des, ert. Mix. Eva Novak, Frank Campeau and Harry Gripp re mained seated and watched the exodus with amusement.
 After the quake ended and no rocks crashed down on the tables, Mix mounted Tony and rounded

In conjunction with the vaude vile show at the Palace, review eof which IS made elsewhere, pic turegoers who have clamored fol a picture of a different sort will find one in Corinne Griffith ] newest First National picture Into Her Kingdom"
 It may justiflabiy be said that the beautiful star really enters hdr own kingdom in the imper sonation of the late Grand Duch ess Tatiana of Imperial Russia and in describing her exception ally brilliant dramatic work thl reviewer finds himself more al loss for words that are broad enough to do her justice, than for words enough to fill this column One might write pages about ",n to Her Kingdom" were not some mechanical restriction a necessity It's that kind of a picture and Miss Griffith was never more beautiful, never better cast and never better supported.

Hanson is an exceptional actor.

 Three persons appeared at the Palace last night in a variety vaudeville show and put over one of the best performances of the kind that has been seen in Ju- neau for months and months. Ad. vertised for 90 minutes, the three entertained for one hour and five minutes and then the large audi ences insisted on more. Even at that, the clever people were most responsive to encores and ap. peared to enjoy the work as we'll as the audience enjoyed in sec ing and hearing them.
 The company is advertised as the Van and Gilbert Company. Advance notices said the mem bers came well recommended and they fulfilled the bill The show from start to finish is poppy, up to date, new jokes, new business, new sketches and consists of what is advertised, a variety and not one left the Palace that did not have words of praise and will be right back to see the other changes.

 And Heifetz! Perfect. You know, his engagement is reported every few months, and it just makes me sick when l hear of it I'm always so relieved to learn that it is all off. He is wonder fully eligible, but he would lose his charm. his personality, if he were to have a wife,

NEW YORK, Feb. THE Babe
is "a years old today and the home
run king is happy.
Once the bad boy of baseball, the
mightiest Slugger of all time has
entered new era Of prosperity and
is healthy and wealthy.
Up until 1924, Ruth had hard
time making his $4,000 salary last
him through the winter. Every
January used to see Babe making
it for the Yankee Offices to borrow
some money off his next years pay.
The Babes lavish spending caused
the alarmistS to wonder what was
to become of him when his baseball
days were over.
But Babe changed his ways, and
since 1924 has saved $4,000. He
has invested $4,000 in an annuity
fund which will pay him a hand
some return annually when it ma
lures in few years.
He has deposited $33, 600 In bank
as an initial payment on a $250,000
trust fund, and has increased this
payment to $4,000 He saved the
entire $4,000 in ten months last
year, matching dollar for dollar the
great salary he now receives from
The Yankees.
All of Ruth'S money is so in
vested that no one, not even him
self, can touch, obtain or reduce the
principal, which makes the big fell
low immune from all law suits and
investments.

Then if it can be arranged, Mullen
will match the winner Of the Shea
fight with either Canzoneri or Bass.
AS an inducement he will offer a

Sanger, Sanger has won twice from
Taylor and lost one battle to the
Terre Haute Mauler.
Taylor has shown improvement
the past few months, it is said. He
believes he can become a title
holder and add the featherweight
Iaurels to his bantam achievements.
Bud has one drawback, which
may be fatal in a battle with San
gor. That is his willingness to take
a sock on the jaw for the privilege
of giving one. Joey Sanger has one
of the toughest right-hand punches
among the featherweights and if
Taylor is to win he must keep away
from it.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Gene Tun-
ney hopes to fight twice this year,
but he does not expect Jack Demp-
Sey to be one of his opponents.
Z Back in New York for ten days to
attend to personal business, includ-
ing the filing of his income tax for
1927, the heavyweight champion
said he believed Dempsey had re-
tired.
IF Dempsey should fight again,
I'm afraid it would result in seri-
GUS injury to him." Tunney said. "I
have a strong personal conviction
that Dempsey is through with the
ring. OF course, may be wrong"
Although Tunney hopes to fight
twice this year, he said that if he
won his June fight and there was
no challenger available for Septem-
Der the second fight would be post
poned until a worthy opponent ap-
pears.
Il want two fights, but whether
will get just one remains to be

Tunney said he expects to meet
the winner of the elimination bouts
between Delaney Heeney and Shar-

All seems to be well again be-
tween the champion and Tex Rick
ard. Tunney said he was prepared
to fight both times for Rickard,
