BATTLE FORECAST FOR
 WATER RIGHTS
Juneau Water Company Plans Suit to Settle
 Gold Creek Status
Continued from Page One)

and MT. Lewis. He denied that the latter had any water rights, which it ostensibly sold to the Alaska Juneau, and said the mining com- pany's position as disclosed in the Lewis letter, made public Saturday, was directly opposed to it's policy of former years. He asserted he had on file a letter from Fred w. Brad
 ley, President of the Alaska Juneau,
 dated some five years back which covered the situation At this time,
 he added, MT. Bradley had written the water company saying any time
 it was short of water, to notify
 General Superintendent L. H. Metz
 gar and he would furnish additional supplies to relieve the shortage. Until last winter this had been followed out.
 During the serious shortage of last winter, he charged, he had asked MT MetZgar to release some water, as Gold Creek was entirely
 dry, and the latter had refused to comply with the request. MT. Beck then cabled President Bradley and a day or so later, MT. Metzgar in- formed him water was available. At that time, MT. Reck told the Council, he discussed the water right situation with MT. Metzgar and thought the entire matter had
 been settled. h
 Must Stop Waste
 The Lewis letter, to which MT
 Reck referred, was written jointly | by the Alaska Juneau and the local light and power company. It in- formed MT. Lewis the two compan- 1 ies were willing to supplement it's
 water supplies with additional SUD-
 plies, in instances of shortage, but
 only after all wastage. occasioned | by leaky mains and open faucets had been entirely eliminated. MT Rocks statement to the City Coun- Gil indicated that the water com
 pany does not consider it practical
 to take the steps suggested by the
 letter.

"HONKY TONK" IS NOW
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

Sophie Tucker seems to have the gift of eternal youth-not the youth that is concerned with avoirdu- Spois, probahly-she sings a song whose burden is T Don't Want to Get, Thin"-but the youth which shows itself in unfIagging enthusi- asm, in shouting, swaying, synco- pated ecstasy-and in a depth of feeling that can move audiences to tears as deftly as to laughter.
 Yellen and Ager, those two amaz- ing young songmakers who have written other hits for Miss Tucker have done five new ones for "Honky Tonk"-the one mentioned above 2 and I'm Doing What I'm Doing for Love- I'm Feathering Nest for a Little Blue Bird He's a Good Man to Have Around" and I'm the Last of the Red Hot sMammas." There are others. too. And does she sing em? Wow! V EInf SIOTy Ol 11OAAhy AOAAh A.' 2 one which the great lady and the clever cast. suffuse with emotion and actuality. She plays the part 0, a night club hostess who is supporting her daughter in an ex- pensive school and keeping from her the way in which she earns her money. The daughter re- turns, is ashamed of her mother Sophie gives up the work which has become so much a part of her life. Luck goes against the two then-but why tell the story-for you will want to see "Honky Tonk for yourself. Direction and pho tography are especially noteworthy The effect of glittering, jazz-mac modern life, contrasted with thf y lasting beauty of mother love ano other love, make ''Honky Tonk' 2 . play to remember.

Attractions l, At Theatres
 SHANGHAI LADY" NOW AT PALACE

It is no wonder that Shanghai has become one of the storied spots of the world when such pictures as Shanghai Lady" which opened last night at the Palace Theatre, are made with such background. It is a talking picture.
 It is likewise no wonder that Mary Nolan, whose blonde beauty and dramatic ability made her one of Americas foremost screen at fractions in silent pictures, should cvershadow even herself when the personality of her voice is added in a sound film.
 Shanghai Lady is distinguished by two outstanding creations-the Characterization of Cassie Cook Z played by Miss Nolan, and the Oriental atmosphere of the entire l film. Both are just about as per lection as it is possible to get.
 As the white girl hostess who somehow has drifted to the Far !. East, there to entertain" the habi- tues of Madame Nolan is superb Superb in the toughness of the wise girl looking out for herself at the crossroads of the world; superb, too, in the softer moments when she discovers herself to be in love with another derelict like her self. ...-.s.s., as
 The story, taken from the stage success by John Cotton, is unique fast moving, and dramatic. Packed with comedy and laughs, in each laugh there nevertheless is the tenseness of the drama beneath it
