ONE of the newest Partisan

"Circe, " has attracted particu-
lar attention because of the ele-
gance Of the toilettes worn by
the feminine players, created
in each case by Marthe Reg

and a famous Partisan actress

One outfit worn by Vera Korene,
the enchantress in question, includes
an afternoon gown Of crepe satin,
printed in one Of the charming Fou-
jita designs Of which we have told

with a tiny collar, and the skirt is
extremely full, longer in the back

Grandma Browns span OF days

She has lived through the most
vital wars, battled in the temper

to the World war, prayed for Lind

The biography is not only an ac-
count of the things one woman has
seen, but in running dialog form
preserves her spicy, pungent, mel
lowy, human comments on life as
she has seen it.
Harriet Connor Brown, who wins
the $4,000 award is not daughter

Mrs. Maria D. Brown, whose bio

This is quite in accord with the
common occurrence of outsiders"
seeing the real quality of people
rather than those nearest by blood
or association to that person.
Many families have been given
smoother sailing by the advent of a
new in-law opening the entire fam

of one of their members hitherto
given little notice or found not at
all worthy Of attention.
1t was a family party held in

no wonder that today sine could
confidently undertake to screen
the famous "CoQuettO" a. an all
talking production.
Mary Pickford'S first appear.
ance on the Broadway stage was
In the role of Betty Warren, in
David Belasco's production of
THE Warrens Of Virginia" Her
presence was noted solely by the
anonymous critic Of the New
York Times. He wrote:
Mary Pickford and Master
Richard Story played the two
children'S parts very charmingly.
Indeed, the acting was generally
Of an excellent quality"
But at her second appearance,
also under the Belasco banner, at
the Republic Theater, as Juliet in
"The Good Little Devil" num-
bers Of the dramatic scribes gave
the diction OF the little girl a
hand. In the interval between
these productions Miss Pickford
had made a name for herself in
the films, playing In one and
two-reelers for Biograph and Imp
under the direction Of D. W.
Griffith.
Again comes the discerning
New York Times reviewer:
Mary Pickford's diction IA 80
good that 1t, suggests the movies
as a desirable place for some Of
our other actors to improve their
elocution."
The Sun reviewer erroneously
stated:
Mary Pickford, long a favorIts
actress in moving picture plays,
acted her first (it was her second
on Broadway speaking part az
his ERNEST Truex's) childish love,
and played with real sentiment
and feeling"
The Herald commented:
Miss Mary Pickford, as Juliet,
was convincing in her pretty por.
trayal of the little blind girl who
found friends among the flowers
and animals in the garden"
This from the World:
"As for the acting, perhaps ths
honors went to Mary Pickford-a
remarkable find for Mr.. Belasco
who gave a lovely impersonation
of the blind Juliet"
The American, in q review by
the late Alan Dale, the only critic
signing his work at this date in
the daily papers, said:

with stained glass effect. She
was the personificatton of inno-
cent girlhood and spectacular
goodness.

Miss Pickford employs her ideal
voice and talent to an advanced
degree, as the personification, Of
innocent girlhood and spectacular
mischieVousness. The picture is

ON CHICHAGOF
Reports to Alaska Game
Commission Say Trap
lines Are Looted

Furpiracy is prevalent on the
north and west shores of Chicha-
got Island, according to reports
received at local headquarters OF
the Alaska Game Commission. In
some instances the alleged "pi-
rates" have taken not only animals
in the traps but also lifted all the
traps on the line, it was said.
Special Officer Jack Wilson, who
returned to town Wednesday night
after 15-day trip in Chatham and
ley Straits areas, reported to the
Commission that several trappers
had told him at Hoonah that their
operations were almost total loss
as the result OF a systematic cam
paign of trap looting. Two boats,
of more than average speed, are
said to be operating along the
coastline, covering t-aplines, steal
ing furs and taking traps.
The Alaska Game Commission
announced it had received letter
from the west coast of Chichagof
Island telling of similar operations.
A number of blue foxes were re-
ported to have been taken. The
letter gave the names of two boats
believed to have been implicated
in the robberies.

BLUE FOX PELTS
ARE TAKEN SOUTH
FROM GRAND ISL

Nearly 100 fox pelts, most of
which are blue skins, were taken
south on the Queen yesterday by
Bob Barclay from the Grand Is
land farm that is operated by the
Grand Island Fox Co. The skins
are to be sold on the Seattle mar
kets. The market value of the
skins is approximately $4,000.
The furs taken south comprise
the second lot taken this season
from the island farm. They were
reported as all being prime skins
and of uniformly good quality.
The Grand Island fox farm is
about seven years old. No guam
tity of pelts has been taken until
the last two or three seasons. The
owners are devoting the farm to
the securing of pelts rather than
the raising of breeding stock and
from every indication has an as
sured prosperous future as the
conditions on the island are ideal
for fur farming.
About 40 pelts were shipped
south a few weeks ago and were
readily disposed of on the western
markets.
Grand Island is located at the
lower end of Gastineau Channel
opposite Taku Inlet.
