HARRY LANGDON AT
 COLISEUM SATURDAY

When a special prevlew showing of His First Flame" was held 'n New York City recently, for men, bers of the metropolitan press, it was the unanimous opinion of those who attended that the star Harry Langdon, had attained a place in the film Armament which was on par with that of Lloyd or Chap lin.
 Mabel Underwood, the noted re- viewer, said: ITO me, Harry Lang don is the king of clowns. For the first time in the history of the cinema, Lloyd and Chaplin have a real rival in feature-length come- dies. Langdon is a genius. Like both Lloyd and Chaplin, ne is re- sponsible for his productions, and to his brain work and keen sense of the ridiculous may be attributed much of his success" This fea- turc is at the Coliseum Saturday.

PAINTING THE TOWN"
 LAST TIMES, PALACE

Consider the peanut. It's ori- gin. a mole-hill, it has power to move mountains. What elephant rill not strain at his chains for a single goober-pea? What would the circus be without peanuts? A ball game? Coney Island
 It remains for motion picture company to pay homage to the lowly peanut and to consecrate a costly production to it's honor.
 i"PaintL.g thes Town," the hilari- ous farce comedy being shown at tLe Palace for the last two times tonight, takes it's cue from the Universal appeal of sack of pea nuts. The. hero, Glen Tryon, wins the title of "the peanut kid by his habitual munching of pea nuts throughout the picture. He wins his way in the film story largely by his lavish distribution of peanuts at critical moments.

BARROW NURSE
 IS IN JUNEAU
Tells of Search for Plane Party Lost on Frozen
 Tundra Last May

Emily Morgan, trained nurse, whose name was made famous throughout the Territory and in the States in connection with the near tragic ending of the Fox Film Corporation expedition to Point Barrow early this summer, came to Juneau yesterday aboard the Aleutian. She told an interesting story today of the intense excitement during the days Pilot Russell Mor- Till of the Anchorage Air Trans port Company and his two passen- gers were lost on the frozen tun- dra between Point Barrow and the Endieott Range.
 The party left Fairbanks in the planes of Noel Wien and Pilot Merrill on May 13 on their way to Point Barrow. That same day they were forced down by thick weather. The following day Vein and his passenger, Hart, took off for Point Barrow to get shovels to build a runway for Merrill's plane; but were unable to find their way back to Merrills party. After several days of stormy weather four dog teams were sent out to aid in the search and Matt Neiman of Anchorage went north with his plane to assist in rescue work. e t e Z On May g Robertson and Clark, MerrilPs passengers, set out on foot for Point Barrow, while Mer- Till decided to stay with the plane and try to put it in condition to fly tho 150 miles to Barrow. He attempted to takeoff two days later but bent his propeller. That evening he set out on foot.
 Neiman, while on the search, found Clark and Robertson in an exhausted condition several days after they had left Merrill's plane. while it was nearly week later when Merrill was found by Wien. The lost pilot was snow blind when

discovered, and was asleep behind a wind-break which he had con. strueted.
 Upon their arrival at Point Bar. row the Fox Film men desired te fly back south again, and all Jeff but Merrill, who was i'll, the gov ernment radio man whom Neimar had brought north and Noel Wien
 Miss Morgan nursed Merrill slowly back to normal and it was finally decided to start south with him in Wien's cabin plane Tho first day they reached Kotzebue and the second day arrived al Nome, where they were forced te remain for several days because of nnfavorable flying conditions The next flight took them to Fair. banks and there Merrill was placed on a train and rushed to Anchor. age where he soon recovered.
 Merrlll's fast recovery was cred. tied to Miss Morgan's ability as { nurse. and her name was flashed through the air time and agair during the days when Merrill was ill at Point Barrow and at the time of the flight from Point Barrow tC Fairbanks.
 Miss Morgan came to Alaska il 1923 She was at Unalaska foi one year and then went to Nome where she remained until 1927 She was there during the diphther ia epidemic of 1924 and after thai year was in charge of the hospita at Nome. One year ago last Aug ust she went to Point Barrow where she spent last winter.
 Within a few days she expects to leave for her home in J2plin Missouri. She said she does uo know definitely if she will return to Alaska.

The action of the Capital Traction
Co. in asking a higher fare rate be-
fore Congress has acted on the pro-
posed merger agreement was severely
criticised last night by members OF
the Mid-City Citizens Association al

the street car companys action result
ed in the adoption of resolution
protesting the granting of any fare
increase until after the merger has
been fully considered by Congress"
Individual members of the associa-
ton charged the company with adopt
ing poor policy" and declared that
the efforts to secure higher fare have
seriously endangered the chances OF
effecting the consolidation.
