ELK ON KRUZOF ISLAND, AFFORDED ALL PROTECTION AND IN IDEAL PLACE, GET
 WANDERLUST; LAST SEEN ON BAR1NOF

"Dis.ant ileids are greener," even to wild animals which have an entire island sanctuary for their own, where there are whole valleys of luscious grass, streams 'of purest water that never dry up or freeze, and where hunting of all kind is prohibited. At least that has proven to be the case with two elks put on kruzof Is- land two years ago by tho Alaska Game Commission, said II. w. Ter hume, Executive Officer.
 Authentic reports just received by the Commission said these ani- mals have deserted their island home, and were seen recently in the vicinity of Fish Bay, on the north end of Baranof Island, prob ably 25 miles from their former range. To get there they had to cross mountains and swim Nova Straits. Whether they also took the calf that was seen with them last spring, is not known; nothing was seen of it at Fish Bay.
 They are the first elk to be brought to Alaska by the Game Commission in it's experiments to a9e ifsthese animals would thrive in certain localities. Last fall

several others were put on Kruzof island. It may be that the first settlers" resented the intrusion of the newcomers and decided to move, but the Game Commission is inclined to believe that the truth of the old green fields adage has again been demonstrat- ed.
 Kruzof Island is protected against hunters and is sanctuary for all kinds of game animals. However, the elks are protected by law wherever they may be, and shooting them is punishable upon conviction, by both fine and im- prisonment.

AIR CIRCUS IS
CRACKERJACK
FEATURE

Capitalizing the air.mindedness
which Wings and Lilac Time
have fostered among the people
of Washington, THE Air circus
whirs into the Fox this week.
1t might be added that, though
air-minded. nobody has to be
Iight.headed to enjoy this picture.
IT Is the story of young America
taking to the planes, following
the footsteps of the idol Lind
bergh, who has supplanted the
late Buffalo Bill in Juvenile adora-
ton.
Unlike its predecessors on
Washington screens, The AR
Circus has nothing to do with
the war. Most of the thrllllng
scenes are laid in a California
aviation school The people who
made this Fox picture were care
fpI not to offend aviation enthu-
siasts with any glaring blunders
in the teaching of aeronaut1cs.
THE continuity flows easily,
with a steady current of fun
running throughout. Most of this
fun is furnished by Arthur Lake,
the kid who starred in Harold
Teen" A natural comedian, the
boy should be in great demand
until he ages beyond the col
legiate stage.
His partner is newcomer,
David Rollins. The picture tells
OF their adventures in the aYia-
ton school, with Dave losing
his nerve in the air and regain
ing it in an air chase to save his
pal.
The story Is simple and direct,
and Is gay with the spirit of
youth. Nothing is more stirring
than the final scenes. with the
redeemed young Mr. Rollins send
ing his plane into loops and whirls,
far above the spot where his
mother is watching. while he yells
TO himself, over the roar of the
motor. Il can fly! I can fly.p
Sue Carol proves that she talks
Just as pretty as she looks, in an
amusing vocal sequence. Lake
voice also registers. Equally ef-
fective are the voices of Dave
Rollins and Louise Dresser, who
has the role of his mother. A
good comedy hit is well handled
by Heinie Conklin.
The Movietone accompaniment
for the feature film is very good.
and the sound effects are among
the best ever hard in Washington.
