"CHICAGO" SCORES
 BIG AT COLISEUM

It cannot be denied that "Chica- go," a De Mile Studio production for Pathe, which was shown at the Coliseum Theatre last night, is a great picture. It scored a tri- umph. Its reception by local pie ture fans was most enthusiastic. It must be admitted also that Phyllis Haver, as the jazz-crazed wife, and Victor Varconi, as her forgiving husband, presented portrayals so artistic in conception and execu- tion as to amaze their most ardent admirers. Directed by Frank Ur- son, this screen version of Maurine Watkins celebrated stage success, Chicago, is decidedly one of the best productions presented here in many years.
 The story deals with a vixen wife who, to gratify her wild desires, de- ceives her husband. When her angel daddy" seeks to rid himself of the shackles with which she has enslaved him, she deliberately mur- ders him. Although her husband is aware of her infidelities, his love for her prompts him to do all in his power to save her from the chair, and when a rascally criminal law yer, portrayed by Robert Edeson, demands an excessive fee he com- mits burglary. Roxie Hart is heralded by the press as "the beau- tiful jazz slayer" and she revels in her notoriety which ultimately re- suits in her acquittal. Then her hus- band casts her off and she finds herself an outcast, alone and for gotten.
 There are many scenes of dra- matic force and the swift-moving action is relieved by flashes of genuine comedy. The work of the supporting cast, which includes, be- sides those named, May Robson, Julia Faye, Virginia Bradford and T. Roy Barnes, was eminently sat- isfactory.

Attractions At Theatres
COLLEEN MOORE IN
 FEATURE AT PALACE

In a role that tests to the utmost her versatility as an actress Colleen Moore scored emphatically with patrons of the Palace Theatre last night, when her latest starring pie ture, Happiness Ahead" opened at that playhouse.
 It is a different Colleen Moore who appears in this production a Colleen Moore whose humorous scenes are all the more mirth pro- voking because of the contrasting flavor of pathos with which her work is also seasoned. She proves herself as adept in moments of emotional drama as in comedy, and lends such realism to her charac- terigation that Happiness Ahead" is one of the most believable screen stories to be seen in months.
 Edmund Lowe gives a splendid performance throughout the picture, while Lilyan Tashman, Edyt h e Chapman, Charles Sellon, Robert Elliott and Carlos Duran, are oth- CTS in the supporting cast who fill their roles to advantage.
 The Palace orchestra puts over a splendid program of just the right kind of music for the feature.

BIG 0PE MIN 6 OF WIT PHONE:
 DELAYED WEEK
Coliseum Will Show Talk ies, Two Systems,
 About May IA

On account of unforeseen delay w. D. Gross, of the Coliseum Thea ter. announces that the opening of his Vitaphone and Movietone talkies will be delayed about one week.
 The work Of installation, far greater than was expected, is given as one of the causes. MT. Gross will not open the talkies, the first in Alaska, until the machines have been tested and regulated as near to perfection as is possible.
 The opening feature will be an all-talkie, The Terror" which has in the past taken all the cities in the states by storm. It is also considered one of the best 100 per cent talkies so far made.
 Regarding the new sign for the Coliseum, the work has now been started and it will only be day or so before Juneau will see the largest Neon sign in Alaska. It is over IT feet high and it has the word Coliseum displayed up and down, with the word Vitaphone across the bottom Nowhere in Alaska and in good many of the states has a sign this size and kind been erected.
 The movie fans of Juneau may rest assured that when the Vita phone and Movietone are opened they will be on a par with the best installations in the states. The best and newest pictures that it is pos sible to buy, will be shown in Ju- neau at the Coliseum, said MT. Gross
 The opening is scheduled for May 14 unless something unforeseen hap pens that will cause further delay.

ming design Of the Navy flying boat
competition of two years ago.
1t is high wing monoplane with an
all-metal hull containing q compart-
r1ent go feet long. Converted into
commercial type, 1t Is estimated that the
big ship would accommodate 80 passen-
gers. The wing span is 100 feet.
First Flown in January.
The contract for the plane was
awarded in February, 1928, and it was
test flown for the first time at the local
Naval Air Station January 10 last by
Lieut.. A. w. Gorton, u. s. NJ, with
M. j. M. Laddon, chief engineer Of the
construction firm, as observer.
The hull of the plane, which will
receive its final tests In the rough water
landings today, is said to be an advance
in design beyond that of any previous
flying boat. The hull and wing pom
toons were designed by Capt. Holden
mer assistant chief of the Navy Bureau
Of Aeronautics.
The designation "XPY-l" indicates
that the plane is experimental. of the
patrol type, built by Consolidated Air
craft Corporation, and Is the first Of the
type. If accepted by the Navy for
fleet duty the ship will be designated
"PY-l," meaning Consolidated Pa
troll. series l."
The big monoplane. though Of radi-
cally different type from the famous
Navy series of Pm flying boats, is to be
used for similar purposes, meeting the
need for sircraft which are virtually
self-sustaining and can ny long dis
tances without the air of tenders or
carriers.
The flight test section of Anacostia
now has under test the latest Of the
Pm series, a giant twin-motored biplane,
the eleventh series in the Navy line of
famous patrol planes. This plane
promises to be keen rival Of the
XPY type.

signs in Navy flying boat competition,

at Hampton Roads, Va, today. If the
big plane comes through successfully 1t
will be assigned to duty with the battle
feet and will drop the "X". from the
designation, denoting that it has passed
the experimental stage.
The XPY-1 will be flown to Hampton
by Lieut. Henry F. MacComsey, of the
fight test section, Anacostia Naval Air
Station. At Hampton, full load, repre-
senting bombs, guns, ammunition,
cameras, instruments and battle crew
will 90 aboard for the final tests. The
plane will be flown out to sea and put
through a number of landings in the
toughest water available.
Conclude Months Of Trials.
Today's tests conclude months of the
most rigorous trials for the huge patrol
boat. It has been test flown with two
and three motors. The third motor,
which was mounted on a trestle above
the high monoplane wing, has been re-
moved and the plane will be tested to-
day and assigned to the fleet, If ac-

STATE FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
TO EXPERIMENT WITH TUR-
PENTINE PINE TREES

A new industry may be brought
into the State il plans being formu-
lated by the State Forester F. W..
Besley to introduce the ''long-leaf"
pine tree on the Eastern Shore prove
feasible.
This type Of pine tree is grown ex-
tensively throughout the Southern
States, and is a large source OF sup
ply for the turpentine manufacture
ing business. The tree is tapped by
means of cuts through the bark, and
the resin is collected. Although
this drain in some. cases stunts the
growth of the tree, it has no other
i'll effect.
While the sandy soil of the South
ern Maryland and Eastern Shore
woods is favorable to great many
pine trees, they are a different vari-
ETY. from those used for turpentine.
The latter never have been found in
any number farther north than Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Besley said. Several
weeks ago he received communica-
llOll AAOAn q ICSlQC1t VI CuC OOAtl al
part of the Eastern Shore, telling of
his success in raising the long-leaf
variety for Southern planting, and
the Forestry Departments expert
ments will be made with a view to
Introducing the tree on large scale.
The department has for the loca-
ton Of it's experiment station, six
ty-five-acre tract near Easton, in Tai
bot county, given to it as an demon
stration forest by Mrs. Joseph B.
Seth, as memorial to her husband,
who was member of the Legisla-
ture for several years.
This tract is ideal for this pur-
pose, Mr.. Beasley stated, since it is
doubtful If the trees can be grown
in any other than the Eastern Shore
and Southern Maryland sections OF
the State. 1t will be at least two
years before the departments activ-
titles show whether the trees will
stand the climate, according to the
forestry head. 1t is expected that
planting will be started in the
spring.
