GIRL IN EVERY PORT"
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

"A Girl in Every Port" Howard Hawks latest production for Fox Films, featuring Victor McLaglen, opens at the Coliseum tonight.
 The story, based on an original by Howard Hawks, tells of the TO- mantle adventures of burly first mate, Spike Madden" His note book records the names of eligible girls of various degrees of pulchri- tude in Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Panama, Marseilles and other ports of call, and his amorous adventures in each port provide the plot.
 In addition to affairs of the heart Spike provides thrills a. plenty through his ability as a fl yhter, especially when he pulls his buddy, Robert Armstrong, out of ;he many scrapes he manages to get into while Spike goes a-wooing Another unusual thing about "A Girl in Every Port" is that eight of the most popular and most beautiful of the younger motion pic ture actresses in Hollywood play the feminine leads-one or two fol each port.
 Marie Casaquana, the little Span ish beauty who won the Fox Films contest in Spain, is the girl in the Argentine Natalie Joyce plays the girl in Panama; Gretel Yoltz the girl in Holland; Leila Hyams ir Panama, and Louise Brooks ir France.

The best that can be said is that after years of public instruction, the people at last are beginning to learn, although slowly, and are turning toward better ways. The story of tuberculosis has here the deep tragedy stain that usually accompanies the plague. It is bound up in the avidity for Knowledge that characterizes the Filipinos.
 Thousands of youths try to go through school on a shoestring They either work at arduous jobs outside the class rooms or try to subslst on meagre allowances from home.
 Although they are taught in school how to live properly, they simply lack the means of doing so.
 Without sufficient rest and the proper kind of food, they fall, by the hundreds, easy prey to the white plague.

 universally conceded to be the greatest boxer of all time.
 Boxing fans today are asking
 whether Schmeling is capable of
 doing what only two other foreign born pugilists have been able to ac- complish.
 Will he join Fitzsimmons and Burns in sporting immortality or is he merely another ring gladiator
 who will never reach the glory of the worlds heavyweight champion ship?
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-05-27

Is Max Schmeling destined to be- come the first foreign heavyweight champion in g years?
 Although his crucial battle with eccentric Jack Sharkey of Boston is only few weeks away specula- tion as to the Germans chances are already rife.
 At stake in the great Milk Fund fight at the New York Polo Ground will be the Tunney- -Muldoon trophy emblematic of the worlds heavy weight championship and the mil lions of dollars that are showered on modern kings of the ring.
 Max Schmeling's rise to the fis- tic heights, eliminating in his last year victories over Johnny Risko and Paulino Uzcudun, has been bobE rapid and sensational.
 A few years ago Max was fighting all over Europe for the Kind oi money American promoters pay tc their preliminary performers When he won the European champion ship, his German manager, Arthur Bulow, brought him to New York
 When fights here became scarce Max placed himself under the management Of Joe Jacobs, shrewd New Yorker. Bulow complained to the Boxing Commission of New York and there were squabbles and lawsuits which threatened to be- come endless.
 Schmeling was barred by tho New York Commission and only reinstated few days ago. Wher he knocked out the durable Riskc and decisiyely outpointed the iror iawed Pauline, the man from ovel the big pond became the logica opponent of Jack Sharkey, claim ant of the title left vacant by tht retirement of Gene Tunney.
 The last non-American ever tt hold the heavyweight champion ship waS little Tommy Burns, Canadian. In 1906, Burns defeated Marvin Hart, whom the retiring champion, Jim Jefferies, had desig mated his successor.
 Tommy only retained the title fol two years. In 1908 he was knocked out by the grinning American negro Jack Johnson. Ever since that da, the heavyweights of the Unitet States have made the supreme rinl honor their national possession.
