American newsprint paper in |dustry in Alaska to complete with the virtual monopoly en- joyed by Canada, is now at q standstill because of the uncer- tain status of the Federal Pow CT Commission, according to Washington D. c. reports. Two groups have asked for licenses to build power systems to SUD- ply power for paper mills, but the power commission is reluc- tant to act until it learns how soon the new 5-man commiss- ion authorized by the last cong ress will become effective. The senate adjourned this summer without acting on the three nominations made by the pres ident to become members of the commission.
 Both Cameron and Zeller- bach interests contemplate pro- duction of 365, ,0O0 tons of news print annually in Southeastern Alaska. The Federal Trade Commission found recently that Canadian news print cost in the United Sates from $61.50 to $67.00. It is estimated that news print from Alaska can be delivered at New Orleans for $58.00 a ton and slightly more in the eastern and central states.

GAYETY SHOW
HAS BRIGHT
SPOTS

French Models" with Jim
Bennett, is the current attrac-
tion at the Gayety.
The program, which features
Viola Elliott, bills the French
Models" as the youngest, pretti-
est chorus in burlesque. After
you see them, you're inclin2d to
agree.
A number, seemingly inserted
as an afterthought, was the best
bit in the production, and would
challenge similar bits in larger
shows; that performance is the
acrobatic dancing done by The
Dancing LaMarrs." Without a
doubt, it deserves to be featured.
The female part of the act also
engaged in some solo dances
which were knockouts.
No matter how the Gayety's
show may be as whole. it seems
that the quartetS which are q
part of most attractions are ex-
tremely good. The four this
week is not the exception to the
rule.
Puns fly fast and furious from
the lips of Jim Bennett and
Billy Sullivan. Jack Reynolds
and Irving Witt are prominent,
too. The girls are ably repre-
sented by Ella Shears, dancing
vocalist; Alice Shon and Frankie
Clark.

SNAPPY REVIEWS OF LATEST PHOTOPLAY EXHIBITS

Here is a picture so effort

seems to have the ensemble

of this tragedy of the sea.
