FOUR MAY JOIN
MT. St, MARY'S

Mt. st. Msry's College, Of F;mmita
burg, Md, will most probably draw
four scholastic athletes from this
city, it is understood.
1t has been reported that Frank
lin Holland, Joe Lynch, Charlie Nc
Vean and Tom Brew may enter tine
Maryland institution. All are ath
letes of exceptional prominence and
proficient in several sports. Lynch
and Brew graduated from GonzaSG

his degree there this past June.
Holland graduated from Eastern

Lynch attended Catholic Uni
VerSity last year and reported
for the freshman football and
basketball teams, gaining sub

Georgetown University year
ago.
Due to his operation. Brew did
not report for freshman sports a.
the Hilltop, but took part in this
spring football drills few months
back. He played tackle and cap
tanned the Gonzaga eleven in 1927.
Brew is a guard in basketball and
first baseman in baseball.
Lynch, son of Mike Lynch. the
veteran marathoner, Is a consistent
performer in baseball, football and
basketball. He has speed but lacks
heft. He is perhaps best in base
ball and basketball.
McVean was the heady guar
terback Of the 1928 GOnzaga
eleven and Coach Ken Simen-
dinger was pleased to caH him
the brains Of the team. Simen-
dinger felt safe with McVean d.

This definite step toward curbing

that his pitchers were succeeding

Mail Planes Get
 Ice Warming Aids

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 24.- Eleven air mail planes operated by the Varney Air Lines with an eastern terminus here soon will be equipped with new ice warning instruments to aid pilots in flying through cold,' wet skies.
 Ice is great hazard to air planes, often forcing them down when heavy coatings form on the wings and cut down the aerody- mamie efficiency. The pilots only aid is to know the temperature and atmospheric conditions along the wing surfaces of 5hisi plane so that he may avoid areas that are likely to increase the ice hazard. The new instrument was de- sveloped by the Moto Meter Com pany of New York and exhibited at the Chicago air show for the first time With it the pilot can, when warned, seek a new air level

Attractions At Theatres
THE BLACK PIRATE"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

In presenting "The Black Pirate" which is coming to the Coliseum Theatre tonight, Douglas Fairbanks is up to one of his pioneering tricks again. The film is in natural color, and vast improvement, we are told, over past efforts at pre- senting color. Doug" has picked out tones which are calculated to rest the principally browns and greens and their complements. And all the color is selected in ac- cordance with it's dramatic value. Four months of experimental work was done along this line before a crank. was turned on production.
 The story is an original from the facile pen of MT. Elton Thomas. All the "yo-hoes" and "avasts" of 17th century piracy are in "The Black Pirate" along with every thing that any pirate ever did, from sburying treasure to walking the plank. Without being spe- cific, Fairbanks chose the Southern Seas as his locale, thus giving his adventure plenty of sea room. Al bert Parker was custodian of the megaphone on "The Black Pirate T
 Billie Dove, that lovely young leading lady who is rapidly heading for stardom, furnishes the, pulchri- tude in this picture and also Doug's motive for cleaning up a couple of shiploads of pirates.
 MT. Fairbanks opens this picture, we are told, where most of them end, with the freesooters blowing up galleon along with the passen- gers, cargo and crew. After this placid incident things get exciting and the first thing we know the star is the black pirate, rowing about and capturing ships single handed and all that. All told two ships are blown up. and one is sunk under fire.

 The Swedish actor plays the leading male role in the big Cos mcpolitan Limitation of Frederick William Wallace's famous novel, directed at Metro.Goldwyn- Mayer studios by John s. Robertson and coming to the Palace tonight.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 24. -- Forty years of opera in the Auditorium Theatre ends January 26 with the Chicao Civic Opera Company's last performance in the old build ling. The present season closes that night.
 Next fall the opera company will play in the huge, new AZ story Opera building, towering above the murky Chicago River.
 Romeo and Joliet' was the first opera sang in the Auditor ium Adelina Patti's touching tones gave life to the ill-fated Juliet that night of December 10, 1889.
 For the final opera in the brown tinted vastness of the the atre, Edith Mason will be the Juliet and Charles Hackett Ro- meo
 The first operatic presentation in the Auditorium received added luster from the attending cele- brities here for the Republican national convention. Among these was President Benjamin Harri- son, whom the party named to succeed himself.
 Virtually all of the operatic immortals of the last four de- cades have appeared before Audi torium audience Among them were, Caruso, Schumann-Heink, Farrar, Melba, Jean and Edouard de Reszke, Scotti and Tetrazzini. The ; theatre was the operatic home of the vivacious Mary Gar den, the sparkling Rosa Raisa and Charles Hackett.
 The Auditorium building, of which the theatre was a part, was completed in 1887. Louis H. Sullivan designed it to com bine hotel, opera, ballroom with convention hall, office quarters and tower. In the years that fol lowed the introduction of opera the passageway between the Aud itorium and Fine Arts buildings became "Song Bird Alley. Through it's narrow confines pass ed the singers to and from their quarters in the theatre.
 The Auditorium is at Congress, Wabash and Michigan. The new opera is across the loop at Wash ington, Madison and Wacker Drive, across the river from the new Chicago Daily News build ing.

GOLD OUTPUT IN INTERIOR REGION
 IS MOUNTING UP
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)

(Fairbanks News-Miner.) Gold production in the Inter- for for 1928 was roughly 150 per cent greater than for the pre- ceding year, according to figures showing the clearance of the precious metal from Fairbanks to Outside points. Production mount ed in the last operating season to s1,250,000, an increase of $700, 900. The total figure will, however, be considerably over the twelve hundred and fifty thou sand dollar mark as it is prob able that a considerable amount was dispatched direct to the States. from the point at which it was mined.
 Quartz mines adjacent to Fair banks produced $75,000 of the total. an increase of $30,000. There is every reason to believe that the development of pros poets into producers will account for an even larger percentage of increase during the present year.
 In the placer field the tremend- ous growth in production is ac- counted for by the fact that dredges are rapidly succeeding less productive methods of min ing. Chief among dredge opera tors in the Interior is the Fair banks Exploration Company and it's entry into the production field last summer served to swell the total of gold recovered. None of the company's three dredges was erected in time to work all sea son, giving reason to expect that the full dredging season during the current year will add .El- pressively to the total when re- turns for 1929 are checked.
 Other dredging concerns in the Interior, notably the Fairbanks Gold Mining Company on Fair banks Greek. the Nome Creek Dredging Company, the Fish
