GROSS BRINGS
 TAL-KiES BACK
 FOR COLISEUM
Vitapnone anG Movietone, First in Alaska, to Be
 Installed Here

On Tuesday, May 2, the people of Juneau will have the opportun- ity of hearing a complete Movie tone and vitaphone program for the first time in Alaska, at the Coliseum Theatre, according to the plans of w. D. Gross, who re- turned on the Yukon bringing with him most of the equipment and Harry Taylor, engineer in charge of the installation, of the "Talkie'' equipment in the Coliseum Theatre. The Remainder of the equipment and three more engineers will ar rive here on the steamer Aleutian, he said today. The installation is estimated to take 12 days, MT. Gross added
 On the opening night the pro- gram will be made up of a Movie tone news reel, a Vitaphone Act, a Vitaphone comedy, a Movietone tiff fany colored scenic and the big feature picture, a Warner Brothers Vitaphone talkie, which, if it is possible to obtain it, will be the thrilling mystery play, "The Ter TOT" which is said to be more ex- citing that "The Bat" and The Cat and Canary combined
 MT Goss ordered the installa- ton of Movietone and Vitaphonc equipment and paid a substantial deposit on it, IA months ago, but owing to the tremendous demand by theatres all over the country, and hundreds of previous orders, had difficulty in getting the engi- neers and equipment to Alaska this soon. The engineers who are to install the equipment in the Coli scum Theatres in Juneau and Ket- clikan, were recently occupied in equipping the new Fox Theatre in Seattle and promised MT. Gross to come north as soon as their work was completed The Fox Theatre opened last Friday, and on Saturday MT. Gross and MT. Fay Tor took the steamer for Juneau.
 Juneau Fortunate
 out of 10000 theatres in the United States and Europe, only 900 have talkie equipment, and very soon the people of Juneau and Ketehikan will be among those fortunate enough to have "talkie" theatres in their towns. There are theatre owners all over tho country who are willing to spend any amount of money to hurry install lation of Movietone and Vitaphone equipment in their theatres but the demand is so great that they have to wait their turn.
 Experience has shown that cheaper outfits, made in imitation of Movietone and Vitaphone, are not practicable as they are contin- ually out of order and generally unsatisfactory It is my intention, always, to give the people of Ju- neau and Ketchikan the most pro- gressive and best in the way of entertainment that it is possible to obtain" Mir Gross said
 Talking Pictures Coming
 H plans to have a Movietone weekly and Vitaphone act on each change of program at the Coliseum and big talkie feature about once week.. He has a full list of Warner Brothers Vitaphone pictures contracted for, and some of the features which are being shown in the largest theatres in the country, that will come to the Coliseum are: Al Jolson in "The

NEW DIVORCE ACT
DECLARED INVALID
Baltimore Court Rules House
of Delegates Failed to Act
on Measure.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 28.-Holding
that chapter $50 of the acts Of 1929,
establishing new procedure, was never
properly passed by the House of Dele
gates, Judge Eli Frank, in an opinion
handed down in Circuit Court, declared
the supposed law invalid.
Under the provisions Of the act the
last known address Of defendants in
divorce suits must be given before order
Of publication by the court.
The judges opinion stated that the
testimony heard before him clearly
showed that the act had been sent in
error to Gov. Albert c. Richie under
a law although signed by the governor
and published with the other new laws.
The errors made in both the Senate
and House of Delegates, which allowed
the act to be signed and printed as a
new statute, according to the judges
opinion. ''are attributable to the hurry
and confusion of the closing days of the
session."
1T is established by clear and con-
vincing proof and to my entire salts
faction that chapter No. $50 Of the acts
of 1929 never passed the House of Dele
gates on its third reading, but was laid
on the table; that it was never enacted
into a law in conformity with its con-
Stitutional requirements and that 1t is
invalid" the judges opinion concluded.
Seven members of the House of Dele
gates and several legislative officials
testified that the new divorce bill had
been laid on the table when it came UP
on its third reading at the next to last
session Of the House.
