FIRST EVIDENCE AGAIN READ IN
 PANTACES' CASE
Testimony of Former Witt nesses Introduced
 Tn Second Trial

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. H. Testimony of two witnesses who had much to do with the convic- tion of Alexander Pantages two years ago on charge of attacking Eunice Pringle, coed dancer, was read from the original transcripts late yesterday in the second trial of the theatrical magnate.
 One of the witnesses. Louis Fisher, office boy, is dead. The other witness, F. L.. Gordon, sales man, is no longer here. Charge Frame Up"
 Previous to reading of the cts timony of the two former witnesses, Frederick Wise, another star wit ness for the state at the first trial, partially admitted on the stand he believed the charges against the theatre magnate was a frame up."
 Gordon testified at the fist trial against Pantages that he was present in the Pantage's theatre building on the afternoon of Aug ust g, and heard a girl scream. He saw a girl attempting to run through the office door,. with Pan- tages lying on the floor inside of the office, holding her by the ankle.
 Fishers testimony was similar to that given by Gordon.
 Was Against Pantages
 Wise under cross examination said he had a conversation with w. A. Spaulding, another state witness, and that he remembered telling Spaulding in substance D he believed the charge against Pantages to be a dirty frame-up"
 Wise said he also talked with Gordon and that Gordon's atti- tude was distinctly antagonistic to Pantages."

 7 NIGHT EVENTS
Boxing Bouts and Dance Will Be Given This
 Evening by Legion

Except for five minute demon stration just before Il o'clock this forenoon, Armistice Day was ob- served quietly in Juneau. No set program of exercises had been ar ranged for morning or afternoon. A dance in Elks' Hall and boxing card in A. B. Hall, both under auspices of the American Legion, are scheduled for this evening.
 For five minutes before Il o'clock this forenoon, boat and mill whistles, church bells and automobile horns were sounded. At II, there was a minute of inaction and silence.

 None of the public offices, ex- cept the cable office, was open. The cable office did business in the morning from until II and in the evening from to T.
 Schools public, parochial and Indian-held no classes.
 Elks Postpone Meeting
 So as not to interfere with at- tendance at the boxing bouts or the dance tonight, the Elks can- celled their regular weekly meeting which had been set for tonight.
 Veterans of the World War were requested by Thomas Petrich, Con- mander of the Juneau Post of the American Legion, to wear their service caps this afternoon and evening.

There ought to be as much ac- tion on tonight's American Legion boxing card at A. B. Hall as in a pay day crap game in Brest camp of Negro stevedors in the war which ended 13 years ago today when America helped pave the way for the current discussion of war debts and separations and the Anti-Saloon League made the United States the land of the boot lcgger.
 The main event, semi-final and special bout, all six-rounders, have all the earmarks of being redhot sessions. Each of them should be replete with violent action.

 The most travelled woman sports fan in this section, Mrs. Mcclure, keeps her overnight bag packed and her big car in condition to accompany Gerry on his trips.
 Before the season is over she will have traveled more than 5000 miles on scouting expeditions.
 While Gerry was playing foot ball, baseball and basketball for the University of Rochester during the past four years, Mrs. Mcclure never missed game at home or away, and in following the team" she went 5000 miles.
 She didn't care for victories or losses, breaks or bruises.
 She cared only to see that l8O pound boy I raised" give a good account of himself.
 Mrs. McGuire does the driving and Gerry takes the notes on their scouting trips, which already have taken them to several cities this fall. The two travelled to Middle town, Conn, and Hornell, N. Y, for peeks at the Weslyan and AL fred teams in action. Before the Rochester Williams game they were off to Williamstown, Mass, and at Clinton, N. Y, they secuted the Hamilton team

carry on.
Beautiful and charming women are
a frequent occurrence in films-its
first and foremost q field for womens
success. But new stars in the feld OF
masculine actors are hard to fnd. Pro-
ducers SOUR the country for male
bet. The colleges are fine-combed for
faces that may have possibilities. NO
trick is left unturned, no corner too
remote to search for boy who may
fill the bill.
When Fox Film Corporation signed
Dunn they may or may not have known
lust what excellent material they had
captured. This lad, with experience on
the New York stage. is good looking in
that understandable way which reg
listers heavily with the majority OF
women. Talking pictures are being
made for the majority and viii con-
tinue to be made for them for some
time to come.

reserve limits his popularity somewhat,
although box-oflce results do not seem
to reveal this. He is not sophisticated
as Is Edmund Lowe, nor is he naive and
young and earnest as is Lew Ayres. JIM
mic Dunn is the boy you might meet
any day, any moment in any walk Of
life. Brimful Of zest, eager for life,
warm and friendly as a wire-hatred
puppy and thoroughly en- rapport with
the heights and depths of real feeling.
Because of his instantaneous hit,
Jimmie Dunn goes into the next Janet
Gaynor picture as her leading man. No
greater accolade could be administered
by the Fox Co. Janet Gaynor and
Charlie Farrell are the big money
makers Of this corporation and the
idols Of the world at large. These two
players have survived the cessation Of
the art In which they came 70 fame

"Once in a Lifetime" Is described as

the three jobless yaudevillians, q Pull
man car in transit to California, q re-
ception room Of a Los Angeles hotel, q

the variety players. who, during that
transition period of the silent to the
unsilent movies, awaken to the fact
that the new form of entertainment is
about TO usiIrp their old one. They de-
eide to pay Hollywood back in her
own coin. Realizing about $500 Tor
their vaudeville sketch, they cross the
continent, and, withouG going into de-
tail, open a school of elocution in the

propitious, for it is during those trou-
biesome days in Hollywood when the
heads of the movie industry and their
dumb queens of the silent cinema ais
cover the importance Of the human
voice. But the newcomers know less
of voice culture and picture making
than they do OF their own profession,
which is very little, so that the authors
