NORWAY FILMS
 AND ERIK BYE : MAKE BIC HI1
Double Attraction at Pal ace Theatre Draws
 Large Audiences

A double attraction at the Pal ace theatre played to two large audiences last night. The Nor way films and Erik Bye, solost, pleased all classes. The bill will be repeated again tonight, the first show starting at 6:30 o'clock and the second at 9:15.
 Norway is great little coun- try and as it is similar in many respects to Alaska, the films are doubly interesting. At times. pro- yided the title is not caught, one can imagine glancing at some Alaska village or spot on. the In- land Passage, but of course minus the totem poles. Those in the audiences last night were of all nationalities. showing the screen production is interesting to all classes. The chief cities are shown. the agricultural, mining quarrying and fishing splendidiy depicted The cities seem spot lessly white, the buildings for the most part. being painted white. which is also noticeable in the country scenes. Lyder Selyig, who took the pictures and brought them to Juneau, is to be complimented on the excellent showing.
 Sharing almost equal importance with the films, is the singing of Erik Bye. a real soloist, Norway's popular baritone-tenor, He is an artist in his line His articula- ton general rendition is that of man who has studied and no matter in what language he sings, his ability is clearly demonstrated. Furthermore he is not backward in singing. He responds readily and cheerfully to the demands of, the audiences. Last night, at both shows, he gave many Norwe-

 Long before the popular Uni versal star donned the movie makeup he used to show his heels to anything that rolled back in his home town in England. And during the late but not lamented fracas lover there" the intrepid Denny manipulated the joystick of the pursuit plane over the Him. denberg line.
 So it was only natural that when the versatile Denny sat down and took his pen in hand to write a story for his next production, he would seize upon theme and subject closest to his sporting instinct and accus- toned hobbies.
 You will see Denny at the Pal ace Sunday and Monday, opening at the Sunday matinee in his lat est successful starring vehicle, a dipping, thrilling, colorful farce comedy, done in his inimitAble style, entitled Fast and Furious" !" a Universal-Jewel production.

 "DEARIE" NEW FEATURE AT COLISEUM SUNDAY

The night club hostess, mysteri- ous and interesting as the charac- ter is, has rarely been depicted on stage or screen, but Irene Rich now portrays one of that gracious company. with subtlety and beauty. Miss Rich is the star of "Dearie," the Warner Bros. production which comes to the Coliseum Sunday for a two-day run.
 "Dearie" presents a glittering phnorama of modern life. Broad way playhouses, night clubs, man. sions and stenements, hospitals, coufts and college frat houses make up the locale, and "Dearie'' herself is the center of brilliant company of players. among whom are Willfani Collier, Jr,, Edna Murphy, Anders Randolph. Rich ard Tucker, Douglas Gerard, Ar thur Rankin, William Demarest and David Mir. Archie Mayo directed. ,.ra.4
 Miss Rfch's star part is that ot a mother who, having lost her fortune. takes up singing to keep her son in college. She sings the. old favorite, "Dearie," winning a name for herself. The fact that she never let her son know that she is a cabaret singer whom he hears so much about, causes complications which sweep the story on and up to climax. .,

Big business says you must expect
unemployment crises. They will al
ways recur. They said that once
about financial panics, but the Federal
Reserve System ended them.
Big business opposed the reserve
system, now universally praised.
Big business is old and age accepts
new ideas reluctantly.
The marvellous thing is that I'M
employment is not worse. In the
automobile industry today thirty
three men do as much as 100 could
do in 1914, thanks TO improved ma
chinery and methods.
Next year California will spend
seventy-eight million dollars on good
roads, and California has more good
roads than any other State already.
In consequence, California leads in
automobile ownership, which means
family comfort.
If other States, with good roads,
could built up automobile ownership
as California has done, there would
be sixty million instead of twenty
four million automobiles running in
this country. Other States might
think that over.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, able
Supreme Court Justice, who realizes
that the Constitution was made by
and for men, not men for the Con-
stitution, is seventy-eight years old.
He continues working, obeying his
motto, "rest is not the destiny of
man" A big monument would re-
ward Justice Holmes if he could tell
what the destiny of man really IS,
how we got here, whence we came,
whittier we go from here, what hap
pens after we go.
But about such questions a learned
Supreme Court Justice knows at little
as an Eskimo watching for seals In
the ice hole.
Science and religion are and must
remain separate. Science gradually
reveals to men that which they can
explain and understand. Religion,
which changes as mems civilization
changes, represents the effort to
know and understand that which men
can never know or understand. Rel
slon, destined to remain a matter OF
faith, never to b. proved, is at least
as important a: science. Science
gives knowledge, safety and wealth.
Religion gives peace.
