 THE WOLF SONG" NOW AT COLISEUM

Harvey Fergusson's novel, Wolf Song" romantic tale of pioneer ing days in the frontier of the old Southwest in the 1840's proved to be thrilling fare for the audience which saw it's moving picture ver- sion at the Coliseum Theatre last night when it opened for two days run.
 Paramount has made moving, colorful, drama-f filled thriller TO- nance from the material of the novel and the three leading stars, Lupe Velez, Gary Cooper and Louis Wolheim, perform splendidly in putting over the parts of daugh- ter of the Mexican Dons, young Kentucky adventurer-trapper and his pugnacious mountaineer com panion.
 Gary comes to the mountain re- zion of the old Southwest witf other trappers and after two hard
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-04-14

years in the towering wilderness of the Sierras, takes holiday in the sleepy Mexican town of Taos. There he meets the fascinating little spit fire, Lupe, who wins his heart with her lovely singing and marvellous dancing. They are married, but not until Wolheim has loomed as desperate rival for her favor.
 After the wedding Gary gets the old longing for the mountains and leaves his young bride for the mountain country. After that there are numerous thrills as he relents and tries to make his way back to her, through the perils of the wi1d- erness, and the rowing bands of hos tile Indians. The ending is a happy one.

One thing can be said on behalf of Willie Stribling. He or rather Pa" Stribling, will agree to most accept most any offer, so long as the Stribling name is men toned. Which may account for the fact that Willie, in the past few weeks, has been listed as accepting a proffered match with Sharkey ln Savannah, Ga, a bout with Phil Scott in London, and trick con- test with Strangler Lewis, the wrestler, in Kansas City At that, if the other fellows agreed to the business, Willie might hop in his airplane and make connections.

About all that can be said for this springs major league baseball holdouts is that they have been a bit more persistent and more talk ative before coming into the fold
 They are still few recalcitrants, hardy veterans such as Burleigh Grimes, but the hold-out ballyhoo ended, for all spectacular purposes, when Babe Ruth signed for $80,000 and Art Shires for $7,500. It is a strange circumstance that the Babe with no special powers of eloquence at his command, gained raise of $10000 a year for two years while Shires, despite his full-throated roars from Texas, will be paid less than a third of the sum at which he valued his diamond services. Yet it may not be so strange at all; Ruth has something that cannot be purchased, or even developed, for twice or three times the sum the Yankees will pay him. Shires has yet to demonstrate the possession of any indispensable qualities; in fact he has been requested to dispense with a number of his habits.

JEWISH DELINQUENCY

almost 10 per cent from 1916 to 1925,
and there was A per cent decrease
IN the number of cases of Jewish chill
dren in juvenile courts during the same
period, DR.. A. Harry Ostrow last night
told the congregation of the new Kesser
Israel Synagogue In Georgetown.
DR.. Ostrow's address was another of
several answers made here recently to
the statement of Judge Nathan Cayton
Of Municipal Court that "a Jewish
crime wave" existed over the country.
I'VE know that the Jewish criminal
exists" DR.. Ostrow said. I'VE know that
Jews are involved in bootleg, narcotic
scandals and in other crimes, but so are
men OF every other race and religion. -
DR.. Ostrow cited figures on Jewish
crime as compiled by Judge Otto
Rosalsky of New York, and declared
that in his opinion they proved that the
percentage Of criminal Jews is as small
or smaller than that Of any other race.
The speaker painted q bright pic
ture of the future of the Jews in the

abilities, traits and powers are blended
with those of our fellow men,"
