The above telegram, received to- day by the Nugget. while brief, has a whole lot of meaning, and if we are good judges of reading telegrams, we believe that the U. s.

 Owing to the fact that there is no supply of gasoline on the Siberian coast and the long dis tance to be travelled in making the round trip, planes, now in Al aska are not what we would con- slider the right type for the en- ergency that has now arisen. We do not mean to criticize the Alas kan Airways or any other com pany's planes in this connection. They can do the job in ideal wealth CT conditions. and then only car " sufficient gas to make the round trip.
 The accidents to the rescue planes at Teller, according to telegraphic communicate is due the fact that those planes in order to do any effective flying after reaching Siberia, were forced to overload themselves with an extra amount of gasoline. Tie pilots did just what any other pilot would do 'n an attempt to go to the res cue. If the planes landed over there without any extra gas for cruising around, they would he practically in the same position as if they had not gone
 Another reason why fleet of planes should be used, is the fact that the radio station established on the trading vessel Nanuk. is running short of gasoline to run the engine which operates the ra- dic set. It is highly essential that ! this radio operator be kept in constant touch with the Alaska

A Viennese. all-tslking. all-singing,
all-dancing film, this spectacular and
brilliant play affords charming and
interesting variation from the average
performance.
Though the story is changed some
what, there is fundamentally that
Graustarkian trend. with an heir APP
parent to small European principality,
an exquisite American motion picture
actress, and love involved. The plot is
first unfolded In that foreign country,
where charming scenes follow in
natural sequence. Then the revolution
separates the lovers, the actress re-
turns to Hollywood and enactS her
great adventure in pictures. The prince,
dethroned. follows her there and the
movie marriage eliminates in real
ceremony. The play is particularly
adapted to an elaborate production.
J. Harold Murray of Rio Rita"
fame is accorded the leading role, that
of Prince Nicholai. He has difficult
part. but plays 1t well. Norma ferris,
from Show Boat" has the leading
feminine role. Both stars are new in
the realm of synchornized pictures.
The supporting cast includes many
well known players of the legitimate
as we'll as the cinema stage, namely:
Walter Catlett, Tom PATRICIA, John
Garrick. Lennox Paule, Douglas Gil
more, Jack Stambaugh. Bert Sprotte,
Herman Bing, Paul Ralli, Evelyn Hall,

A number of lovely songs are intro
duced. all written especially for this
production. Oscar Straus, composer
of the Chocolate Soldier" and Waltz

Arthur Kay are responsible for the
music.
