 HOOT GIBSON AT
 PALACE TOMORROW

Hoot Gibson is featured in ''The Texas Streak" coming to the Pal ace Tuesday and remaining Wed nesday.
 The picture has few serious mo ments. With Hoot Gibson in his best comedy mood, "The Texas Streak Is a vastly amusing affair, travelling at a rapid gait, with many novel developments of plot, and much breath-taking riding and battling.
 Gibson, posing as a gun-man from Texas, when in reality he is only a celluloid cowboy from Hol- lywood. gets himself involved in a fued between development company exploiting the west and the neighborhood ranchers. who don't want their ranches develop. ed.
 He cows the ranchers with many carefully staged bits of he roics. swaggers about the town in his chaps, rented from a movie costume company, and carries off his deception without recognition or detection until the war has come to an end and he an nounces his real identity of his own will.
 Blanche Mehaffey. as the femi- nine lead, makes a lovely contrast to the rugged masculine members of the cast. and gives a splendid performance.
 "Slim" Summerville and Jack Curtis, as Hoot's pals, add many splendid comedy scenes. Alan Roscoe as the villain of the piece, James Marcus, Jack Murphy, Will liam H. Turner and others are very good in supporting roles.

WORTHLESS CHECK
 PASSER ARRESTED

Having passed at least three worthless checks in Juneau, it is said, Biii Casey. alias Bill Steel whose real name. he says, is Harry Joyce, was arrested Saturday night in the steerage of the Cor. dova as he was attempting to leave town, by Deputy U. S Mar shal William Garster and is be ing held in the Federal jail on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses.
 Casey or Joyce, passed a check for S25 to Mrs. A. Hagelund of the Welcome Cafe in payment of board, a check for $20 at Bur fords Corner and one for S75 at the Nugget Shop. It was in re- sponse to a call from Mrs. Robert Simpson of the Nugget Shop to the U. s. Marshal's office that the man was apprehended. All checks were drawn on the First National Bank of Seattle, where it was de- termined by wire that there was no account for anyone named Bill Casey" the name he signed them with.
 When arrested Joyce had a GUS toner's draft on the First Ma. tional Bank for $1200 made out to Bill Steel, on his person.
 Joyce came to Juneau on the Aleutian on April from Seattle and has been working here at the Alaska Juneau part of the time since then.

EVELYN BRENT AT
 COLISEUM TUESDAY

Facing the disgrace of her bro ther's arrest-cast out by her sus- picious father-this is the sitna- ton which confronts Evelyn B, It in her latest F. B. 0. release, "The Imposter." The unwinding of the plot and the rescue of price less jewel to keep her brother from the yawning doors of a pen itentiary, holds an atmosphere of hrill-stimulating suspense that is skillfully maintained by the di- rector. Chet Withey. in Ewarl Adamson's adaptation of Clifford Towards great story.
 Miss Brent has proven herself one of the outstanding stars Of cinema drama, and her versatile and fascinating work in "The I'm poster" will add new laurels. to her already noteworthy record Seldom has a story been produced for the screen in which the spec tator's interest is so cleverly built up to a peak of excitement, and Miss Brent's masterful handling of her dual role as Judith Gilbert daughter of the rich, and Canada Nell, a girl of the streets, has much to do with the gripping in tensity of the play.
 Her maneuyerings with Morris, the gambler. and de Mornoff, the suave jewell crook, are master pieces of workmanship, and great credit is due Director Withey and the capable cast. for the convinc- ing realism of the film. The pic ture will be seen here at the Coliseum Tuesday and Wednes. day.

of the 20-mile-wide Atlantic lanes, eastbound traffic using the south ern 10 miles of each, and west, bound using. the northern 10 miles On one Canadian route, from Hali. fax, the order is reversed.
 Danger of collisions between eastbound and westbound vessels has never been so great in the Pacific as in the Atlantic because of the smaller volume of traffic and the greater size of the ocean. Several years ago, however, the navy Photographic office charted east and west routes from Se- attle and Portlah. to Yokohama by way of Honolulu, and it is thought that the time now has come to present them for inter national acceptance.
 The routes from Portland and Seattle would follow approximate ly the line of the Great Circle to Yokohama, and vessels passing each other would keep to the right, as in the Atlantic. But in the Honolulu to Yokohama lanes, this order would be reversed and vessels would keep to the left, as in the automobile traffic of Lon don and Ontario. This is due to the fact that the westbound route has been charted far to the south of the eastbound, in order z. take advantage of the Japan current. By heading toward the north af- ter leaving Yokohama, eastbound vessels are helped by the north flowing current. and by approach ing from the south, westboun l ones are not hindered by 1t.
