CAPT OL HEADS
 ITS BILL WITH |'3 FRENCH GIRLS'
Cast Includes Eff Dorsay, Denny and Polly
 Moran

Those Three French Girls" delightful comedy, with remark ably strong cast, begins showing tonight at the Capitol theatre. The girls are Eff Dorsay, Vola d'Avril and San Ravel. Their boy friends are Reginald Denny, Cliff Edwards and George Grossmith. Included in the supporting cast is Polly Moran, who adds not a lit tie to the merriment of the pro- duction
 The locale of the play is France after the war. The trio of pretty vivacious French girls are cast as modistes. Denny is the scion of titled English family, seeing the sights of the Gallic country, and Edwards, with his ukelele, and Grossmith are a couple of Brook lyn Americans on visit to scenes in the late World conflict, which they helped to win for the Allied forces.
 Sing in Prison
 The members of the sextette find themselves in prison in the early part of the play and the situation affords them opportunity not only to present some clever comedy but also to do some ex- cellent singing. They carry their humorous, lively activities to the interior of a farmers barn, to the sumptuous appointments of a Par isian mansion and to the tables and dance floor of an exclusive cafe. An apache dance ends in a cafe brawl that eliminates with the three young men being pro pelled to the sidewalk by an army of walters.
 A sequence that is sure to ap- peal to feminine patrons as well as intrigue the interest of the most blase of male customers is the style show in Fifi's modiste shop in Paris.
 Many Humorous Situations
 The story, with it's triple love situations, of fresh, unhackneyed character.
 The stoyr, with it's triple love theme, was written by Dan Van Every and Arthur Freed. It is replete with witty dialogue.
 In addition to Those Three French Girls" tonight's new bill IS featured by another comedy Of French flavor with the time set

DISCOvERER OF
 NEW CHICHAGOF ! PROSPECT HERE
Millionaire Kid' Jackson Tells of Newest Gold
 Discovery
Associated Press Photo

T Confident that he has made a real strike" Joe Jackson, discov- erer of the newest Chichagof Island gold prospect, is here for few days consulting with his associates, all local men, and to be treated for bruises sustained this week in a fall over rocky cliff.
 Jackson, widely known as the Millionaire Kid" is a well known prospector and was the discoverer of an important silyer-lead prop erty in the Portland Canal region several years ago. Associated with him in his new venture are Charles Goldstein, George B. Rice, Dr. Robert Simpson, Dr. w. w Council and Allen Shattuck.
 Confident Will Be Mine
 Jackson is supremely confident his prospect will be developed into real mine He made the discovery on July and since that time has stripped 1,200 feet along the vein and sunk a number of shallow shafts in all of which, he said he had uncovered a fine vein of quartz carrying minerals. In places the vein has widened from IS inch es to eight and one-half feet. Sam pies of the last rock uncovered were brought here yesterday by plane for assay.
 The prospect is located on the Hirst- -Chichagof side of the penin- sula and on Ogden Passage. At sea level, said MT Jackson, the vein is 25 feet wide and has no footwalls. A plan of future devel- opment is now under consideration by those holding an interest in it.
 Genuine Shear Zone
 B. D. Stewart, Federal Mining Supervisor and Acting Territorial Mine Inspector, who accompanied Messrs. Goldstein nd Shattuck there yesterday by plane, described the prospect as highly interest," ing"
 .4The surface indications show they have a quartz-filled shear zone, apparently mineralized," MT. Stewart said What the gold val ues are will have to be determined by assays, and the extent of the de- posit by development.
 ''The zone is parallel with the Chichagof and the Hirst-Chichagof and on practically the same strike and dip. It has been exposed in several spots by surface stripping and two tunnel shafts about six or seven feet in depth, so far as I was able to observe, and about 150 to ITS feet in length.
 T was informed that it had been exposed at other points by sim liar work, but did not have time to visit them. The vein varies in width, the widest point I saw carrying two and one-half feet of solid quartz"

Light Comedy Vies With Strong Drama
COLISEUM HAS SEA WOLF AS
 FEATURE PLAY
Revenue Gutter Bear of Ala S ka Fame Is
 Seen in Picture

"The Sea Wolf. FOX movletone photoplay founded on Jack Lon dons famous story, begins show ing tonight at the Coliseum the ater. Milton Sills, Jane Keith and Raymond Hackett enact the lead ing roles.
 Sills has the part of the Sea Wolf" the brutal sea-captain, an experimentor in the stuff of which mems souls are made. The two chief victims of his curiosity, Miss Keith and Hackett. are well cast. The supporting players include Mitchell Harris, John Rogers, Nat Pendleton, sam Allen, Harry Ten brook and Harold Kinner. Opening in Hakodate, Japan, where the Wolf is preparing to sail for the Aleutian sealing grounds, the story is colorful and intriguing from the very first.
 Fist Fights Galore
 Fist fights galore, the shanghaing of boy, his development under the stern and merciless environ ment, the sea battle with Death Larsen's vessel, the escape of the young couple, and the final swift climax all make The Sea Wolf" an intensely interesting photoplay.
 The old revenue cutter Bear, which for more than AS years bat tied Arctic seas and saved num- erouslives, appears in the picture. Built in 1874 at Greenock, Scot- land, as whaling vessel, the Bear served for 10 years in the north Atlantic. After the failure of the Greeley relief expeditions to the Arctic in '82 and '83, the Bear, to- gether with two other vessels, was obtained from the British and managed to reach the castaways
 Turned Into Barkentine
 Turned over to the Revenue Cut ter Service, now the Coast Guard, after her triumphant return, the Bear was fitted as a steam bark entine. From that time until she was formally taken out of com mission in 1928, she was usually the first government service ship into the Arctic and Boring Sea every spring and the last out in the fall.
 Several different seasons, crews of wreched whaling ships, caught in the ice the winter before were res cued. One year she saved l2 such crews alone.
 Her captain had judicial pow CTS He sat as a United States Commissioner in countless legal disputes of white man and Eski- mo. He performed marriage cere- monies and administered last rites to the dying.
 Presented to Oakland
 Finally she was retired and pre- sented to the City of Oakland as a museum and training ship,
 1 llcll tdIlC liCl RllCl OuI PlC- turesque reincarnation. The Fox Film Corporation, making the talk ing screen version of Jack Lon don's famous Sea Wolf" decided that she was just the type" to be used as Death Larsen's sealing vessel.
 When the Oakland authorities demurred Mayor John L. Davie of oakland, an old personal friend Iof Jack London, stepped in.
 Put to Good Use
 HOW he argued, 'can the fame of this historic vessel be better kept alive than by letting her ap- pear in a motion picture that will be seen by millions?"
 The argument was unanswerable; and as consequence the Bear played her part in the exciting sea drama.
 Lovers of things nautical will be pleased to see the famous old barkentine in the Sea Wolf"
