ID PRESENT CAPPY KICKS
 AT COLISEUM
Players Ready to Appear in Comedy by Ameri-
 can Legion Post

Lovers of good, clean, wholesome comedy are eagerly looking forward to the show entitled Cappy Kicks which will be produced at the Cali scum Theatre, October 28 and 29 under the auspices of Afford John Bradford Post No of the Ameri- can Legion. The players in the cast are zealously rehearsing their parts and it is reported that they have been well cast.
 A description of several of the characters in the play follows:
 Cappy Kicks without Matt Peas ley, would be like Shakespeare Hamlet with Hamlet eliminated. Kicks, who has been accustomed to bullying everyone, surely runs up against hard boiled hombre when he tackles Matt. To tell everything that Matt does would take too long and would also di- vulge too much of the story be- sides giving away the ploy of the play which should be withheld until the nights of the performance.
 However, Matt is always ready for fight or a frolic and, in the end, wins the girl of his dreams and five million dollars. That is going some for sailor lad and ghows the stuff that Matt is made of. This difficult part is played by Edward Hermann, Comman- der of the local Post, and as he is rapidly getting into the fight ing spirit of the role those who

any dealings with Alden P. Ricks Frank Metcalf ably plays the part of the lawyer and deserves much credit for his work.
 Brcokfield White is the chauf feur. White is a misnomer, for he is in reality very dark brown He doesn't have much to do, but in his way helps to make things un- pleasant for Cappy. Harry Stone house has the role of Brookfield and does his part in highly ex- erlplary manner.
 Alden P. Kicks, better known as Cappy, is the stormy petrel of the comedy around which much of the interest revolves. He never seems happy unless he is in trouble, and when he gets out of one scrape he is thinking up another one to get into. This wouldn't be so bad if he was the only one who suffered for his idiosyncrasies, but as usual in such cases, he drags everyone else into his difficulties and makes things more unpleasant for them than it is for himself. These situ- ations however, are what is needed to make a real live wire comedy of Cappy Kicks. Sanford Dodge, the director, will depict the part of Cappy Kicks, and, while he is a professional, he will have to go some to keep up with the fast com pany he is in, as represented by the other Juneau players.

THE DESERT SONG"
 SCORES BIG HIT

Tt will be long time before the screen has another one like it. Such was the verdict of last nights audience at the Coliseum theatre, where "The Desert Song" which is the very first operetta to be transferred to the screen in it's en- tirety had it's second showing. One might well think that the first effort would be in the nature of an experiment, but Warner Brothers had already brought the Vitaphone to such state of perfection that tn ey apparently encountered no difficulty in transferring The Des- ert Song" with all it's dialogue and all it's songs and all it's magnificent choruses, to the screen. Their confidence born of long experience in the talking picture field, was justified.
 The all-star cast of '"The Desert Song" which was directed by Roy Del Ruth, includes John Boles, Car lotta King, Louise Fazenda, Myrna Loy, John Milan, Johnny Arthur, Marie Wells, Jack Pratt, Edward Martindel, Robert E. Guzman, Otto Hoffman and many others. All give excellent singing or talking performances. Sigmund Romberg's magnificent score is brilliantly rem dered on the screen by the Vita phone Symphony Orchestra.

FAIR AWARD FOR EDUCATIONAL WORK
 GOES TO ST. ANN'S

First place in the competitive score for displays in the Education al Department at the recent Eighth Annual Southeastern Alaska Fair, has been awarded, by the judges, to St. Ann's School. This is the third successive year that St. Ann's has won the highest score and the school will therefore receive a sil- yer cup as the sweepstake prize. The cup has already been ordered from Chicago by the Wright Jewell ry Shop and will be presented to St. Ann's immediately upon its ar rival in Juneau. Second place was won by the Juneau Public School; third place, by the Craig School; and fourth place, by the Charcoal Point School.
 The Government School in Ju- neau was awarded first place and that at Sitka was awarded second place. Mrs Bernhofer, teacher in charge of the Juneau Government School, is considered one of the best educational instructors of ac- tivities in the whole of Southeast Alaska, and her school has been highly complimented for it's work not only here but throughout the Territory, and even in the south.
 Mrs. Peterman again won the sweepstake prize in Home Cooking; MT. Blanchard, of Skagway, was presented with the sweepstake prize for the best display of pansies, and for the fourth time, Lucille Norton

work with him in some of the most strenuous scenes must always be on their guard lest they be thrown out of the window or something. The way he will enact this role is one of the reasons why the comedy will be worth much more than the price of admission.
 Aunt Lucy is Alden Kicks sister and deserves a great deal of credit for managing to get along with the Captain So long without losing her temper too often. She is very nice, soft-speaking lady whose lover was drowned at sea. She still clings to his memory and, un- like the average modern girl, has never married but remains true to the adored one whom she would have married had he not gone down to sailors grave. Her chief occupation, now, however, is to keep peace and harmony in the Kicks home and as both father and daughter are headstrong and impetuous Aunt Lucy usually has her hands full. The role is quiet and sympathy producing and will be played by Edna E. Policy.
 Edward Singleton is a lawyer. What Cappy Kicks thinks of law yers, is shown by the manner in which he locks the safe and hides the money when Singleton enters his office. Whatever his fee, he certainly earned it, when he had

 This picture shows Ken in a new role, for instead of the usual west ern type, he is seen as member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police.
