LET FER GO, GALLAGHER"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

To reporter there is no duty greater than he owes his news paper. No matter how danger ous his task, or how self-sacrific- ing the deed, the reporter of a newspaper invariably is slave to duty.
 This is essentially the theme of Let Ter Go, Gallegher!y the Rich ard Harding Davis narrative of newspaper life in which bright office boy plays the stellar part Junior Coghlan, who was featured in "The Country Doctor" "The Yankee Clipper" and "A Harp in Hock," is seen in the title role, and Harrison Ford is cast as re- porter, around whom the love in- terest centers. Their portrayals, it is said, are excellent.
 Supervised by Ralph Block, as- sociate producer at the De Mile Studio, and prepared for the screen by Elliott Clawson, also a promi- nent newspaper man, Let Ter Go, Gallegheri" is one of the most exact stories of ''the fourth estate" ever filmed. It will be shown at the Coliseum tonight. Elmer Cliff ton, who directed "The Wreck of the Hesperus, was the director. Elinor Fair, Ivan Lebedeff and Wade Boteler are included in the cast of supporting players.

PHYSICIAN USES
 AIRPLANE TO FIGHT
 INTERIOR SMALLPOX

The Anchorage Times contains the following account given by pr. J. A.. Sutherland of his air plane trip through the smallpox stricken areas of the interiors a trip from which he returned a few lays before Christmas:
 It is estimated that there are be- sween 300 and 400 cases of smali- pox at present and several deaths have already been reported. How ever, the worst stage of the cpl demic is believed to be past and with supplies of vaccine available -st all communities wt.ere the di- cease has bnnken I.t and mcre to be sent from Fairbanks soon, the task of control from this time on will be comparatively simple.
 When the steamer Victoria came into Nome on one of her voyages last summer, the;e were several cases of smallpox aboard and it is thought likely the present epidemic had it's inception from those cases. During the rest of the summer there were isolated cases of the disease but not until the last eight weeks did it reach outlying com munities- and assume epidemic form. The northern boundary line of the district in which smallpox lis now found is Cape Prince of Wales and the southern boundary Marshall.
 About 50 cases of smallpox are believed to be under treatment at St. Michael, over 100 at Deering. more than 70 at Unalakleet. be- tween 70 and 80 at Mountain vil- lage and Marshall and there are 52 known cases at Candle.
 All travel has been stopped south from Holy Cross; east from Marshall into the Black River country and also east from Old Fort Hamilton to protect the low CT Kuskokwim. To prevent spread Of the disease into the Point Bar row country travel from Candle and Deering to Kotzebue has been halted. Unalakleet to K Kalta 2 travel is also barred. All mail

BARE KNEES" AT
 PALACE SUNDAY

Bare Knees" at the Palace Sunday and Monday, presents the modern girl of today as she really is, cosmetics, galoshes, cigarettes bobbed hair and bare knees and all. It also depicts that the girls of today know their signals. When to stop and when to go. The ex- ponent of the modern girl in this picture is Virginia Lee Corbin and she is a composite picture of every flapper that John Held, Jr., evei drew. Miss Corbin not only looks the part but she is the flappeI to the life. Seldom has such a soul-satisfying bit of acting beer presented on the screen in these parts.
 The picture starts with some de licious comedy showing the effect of a modern girl on the average small town. The laughs progress logically until about the middle of the picture and then turn to drama.
 The cast is air tight with Forrest Stanley, Donald Keith, Jane Win ton. Johnnie Walker and Maude Fulton supporting the star.

Present drinkless dinners are the downfall of the epicurean art, in the opinion of the famous Oscar of the Waldorf. After thirty-six years in charge of culinary operations at the Waldorf, Oscar, now sixty six, is forced to retire. The famous Fifth avenue landmark is to make way for a sky-scraper.
 Hears Bad News
 Together with the heads of oth- CT departments at the hotel, Oscar received the news that the Waldorf would cease to function pext sum- mer. The statement, issued by Lucius M Boomer, president of the hotel, read in part:
 Commencing with loss s through prohibition, which de- stroyed a highly remunerative part of our business, the increased cost of operation and taxes have be- come so burdensome that it is no longer possible to operate further.
 Oscar is not bitter. He will not become inactive. But this much is sure, he said:
 "I am through with the hotel business. l still love it and would stay in it to my dying day if the Waldorf were to continue. But my heart and soul are tied up in this institution. I have been with it since it was opened in 1893. We came together and we go out together.
 Who can make a ceremony of q meal in a public dining room now that you can have only water with your meal?
 But tastes are simple today. There is no display. Meals are rashad so that people may get to the theatre in time or so that they may listen to the innumerable af- ter-dinner speakers"
 what IS the most famous event in Oscars memory?
 All "40ov There
 That distinction, in Oscars esti- nation. goes to the Bradley Mar tin costume ball, which opened the new ballroom in the Astoria ex- tension in February, 1897 In those days the Waldorf-Astoria was the rendezvous of the ultra-fashion- able. And that ball was attend ed by every notable of New York's Four Hundred" of the day.

BIG EXPENDITURE FOR
 kETCHlkAN IN SIGHT

Improvements costing a total of about $500,000 and including a new two-story office building are contemplated for Ketchikan during 1929 by the Foshay interests, it was revealed yesterday by R. O.. Ellis, assistant to the president of the Public Utilities Consolidated Corporation.
 Expenditures definitely sched- uled include a new freight and passenger boat for the Nerthland Transportation company, to cost approximately s35O.DOO; remodel ing the old Northland dock, with a new warehouse building on the dock, about $50.OO0; additions to the Ketchikan Cold Storage plant, about $25,OOO.
 The new office buildt.g for which p,dns have been lawn and which is being seriously consider ed by the company. would be situ- ated on the Northland property facing on Dock and Front streets. It would cost in the neighborhood of S75,000 and would be crowned in the center with a skyscraping ''Foshay tower" a miniature edi- tion of the tower of the immense Foshay building now being com pleted in Minneapolis. Atop the tower here, there would be shin ing beacon light which would gleam a welcome to boats incom- ing from the sea s. (Ketchikan Chronicle)

HELEN OF TROY" IS
 AT PALACE TONIGHT

"The Private Life of Helen of Troy" will be shown at the Pal ace for the last two times to- night.
 The entire story is satirical in theme and treatment. The picture does not end with the hero and heroine in conventional embrace The embraces of this pair are de- cided unconventional, inasmuch as both happen to hr e mateG not in- volved in their affair, and long before the picture ends they grow exceedingly weary of the others presence.
 Indeed, the famous characters of mythology, Helen, Paris and Meme laos, are made quite human and bedecked with thoroughly familiar faults and weaknesses and con- ceits. The vein of rich comedy continues throughout the entire story, and no tradition is too sac red to be pried into and examined.
 "The Private Life of Helen of Troy" in short, is radical at tempt to depart from the accepted standards of the screen.
 Maria Corda, Lewis Stone and Ricardo Cortez are the three prin- cipal roles of Helen, Menelaos and Paris. The unusually large sup porting cast includes George Faw- cett, Mario Carillo. Alice White, Tom O'Brien, Bert Srottte, Gus Partos and many others.
