NOTED ALASKA INDIAN WOMAN
 DIES AT SlTKA
Mary Thlantich Is Only Person Ever Given
 Thanks of Territory

In 1867, among the little group that gathered around a flag pole tt Sitka to witness the transfer of Alaska from Russia to the Unit ed States, symbolized by the low ering and the raising of national emblems, was an Indian maid in the bloom and beauty of just Is. She was thrilled by the historic event. To the new sovereignty she gave eager, unreserved allegience. Last Saturday night, in the place of her childhood, she died, aged &C., distinguished as no other person ever has been in the annals of the Northland In life, she had been honored by formal thanks from the Legislature extended on behalf of the Territory for cour- ageous conduct in saving early Am erican settlers from massacre by members of her own race, and to insure her always against want she had been voted a monthly allowance from the public treas ury.

 MISS SWANSON TR|U MP HIS IN
 '"'TRESlp ASSERT [:
Star Reveals Good Speak ing and Singing Voice
 in Strong Drama

I Gloria Swanson, in "The Tres passer," her initial all-dialogue
 United Artists picture, won tri- lumph last night at the Capitol Theatre. The play will be pre- sented again tonight. tA Miss Swanson reveals good
 stage voice. Her tones are rich and
 we'll l-modulated-and quite in keep
 ing with the role of the lady of re-
 finement that she essays in "The
 Trespasser. Another revelation
 is Miss Swanson's soprano singing
 voice Her two numbers give lyri- cal heights to the feature. One of the pieces is Tosellis "Serenade," a standard work. The other, "Love,
 was composed especially for Miss Swanson by Edmund Goulding, au- thor and director of The Tres passer."
 In Popular Role
 With a background laid in the fashionable Lake Shore Drive dis trict of Chicago, this production en- ables Miss Swanson to appear in role that most theatre-goer love to see her-as the gorgeously gown ed American woman
 Tn writing and directing "The Trespasser," Mir Goulding tells his story simply and naturally-but packs it full of drama at every turn, with the result that the en- tire cast follows Miss Swanson's example in giving noteworthy DOT trayals.
 The theme concerns successful girl of the business world and her marriage to the son of Chicago millionaire. It is not until the hero, Robert Ames. has married again, that he discovers he is the father of the heroine's son. Emotional Crescendo Produced What happens when the invalid second wife insists that the heroine take her husband and go away with him; when the heroine refuses to do so and eventually sacrifices her boy to the care of his grandfather, all provides an emotional crescendo that finds happy solution in the last lines of the dialogue.
 Miss Swanson gives strength and feeling to the part of Marion Donnell that once more distin- guishes her as an outstanding dra- matic actress of note. Robert Amcs with his mellow voice, makes an achievement of his difficult role Sparkle is lent the dialogue by the ripping lines of Wally Albright the tf1ree-and- -a-half year old boy
 who plays the son. Others in the cast are: Purnell Pratt, Henry 3
 Walthall William Holden, Blanche Friderici, Kay Hammond, Mary Forbes and Marcella Corday.

JACK oAKIE
 IS SCRE AM IN SYRACUSE SAP
|Wise-Cracking Com e dian Has Play to Suit His
 Fancy at Coliseum

Do you want good h eart y laugh? Then see and hear Jack Oakie in his latest wise-cracking grin freshet, 'The Sap From Syra- cuse,' at the Coliseum theatre.
 It's a clever comedy from tick to tock.
 Oakie has never done anything better, for "The Sap From Syra- cuse," last seasons comedy high light of the Broadway stage, is a situation comedy just made to or der for Oakie's talent. Jokes About Himself As the butt of every Syracuse joke, Oakie naively butts few
 jokes himself, until, through an unexpected legacy, he is enabled to gratify his one ambition, to see how the world on the other side of the "big pond" lives. On the boat he meets Ginger Rogers, the charming object of op- erations for a pair of crooks, and also pair of sophisticated gold diggers. Mistaken for a famous en- gineer supposed to be travelling in- cognito, Oakie finds himself the center of attraction, all of which is very confusing to the modest boy from the backwoods. WepdS Way fO CuccqSc Through a series of amusing mis- adventures Oakie wends his way to success in love, and the story ends in a convulsing climax, that proves the hero to be not so dumb as he
 looks.
 The locale of the story moves as swiftly as the action. It opens in Syracuse, moves to shipboard
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-03-16

and winds up in a wild mountain ous country in the Balkans.
 Included in the cast be si d e s Oakie and Ginger Rogers are Betty Starbuck, the Broadway musical comedy comedienne; Veree Teas dale, another well known stage ac- tress; Granville Bates, headliner of Ia dozen Broadway successes; Sidney Riggs, another stage favorite; Der hard Jukes, Malcolm Dunn and sev- ,eral other Broadway actors of note.
 Added features at the Coliseum are Keeping Company" "Looney Tunes" Deep c Melodies" Drums Of Fear" Fox Movietonews.

the Russian Orthodox Church at Sitka She and he were ac- quaintances for many years. She called to see him on the occasion of her last visit to Juneau last summer.
 Soon after the United States came into possession of Alaska, Mary married Her husband was a former soldier, whose term with the American military force had expired while he was stationed ct Sitka. They had no children. She is survived by no immediate rela- 1 tives.
 Reviewed in Resolution The notable period in her career is made the subject of praiseworthy recital and comment in joint resolution adopted by the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Alaska Legislature in April, 1925. The resolution reads: Whereas, the following facts re- lating to the early history of Alaska after being acquired by the United States have been brought to our attention, said facts being as follows:
 "In 1877, the United States Gov ernment removed it's troops from Sitka and other towns of Alaska. For two years following, there was no Government representative there outside of the Collector of Customs. The Indians, smarting under imag- mary wrongs, deemed it very op- perfume time to assert their in- dependence and settle certai n scores. For the loss of six h. dians drowned in the Boring Sea during a storm, Katlean and his clan demanded pay. As no pay was to be had, in reprisal they openly threatened the lives of six white people. These threats were not idle. as nightly councils were held by the Indians to perfect the mode of attack upon the white people. Mary Thlantich, who was then marf.!ed to Michael Travers, an ex-soldier, kept the white people informed as to the intentions of the Indians. She was ever the friend of the white citizens of Sitka. The white people took what precaution they could. The women and children were gathered to- gether and housed in the two largest buildings in Sitka, and an armed guard was maintained day and night.
 Risked Her Life
 Mary Thlantich carried her very life in her hands when she boldly braved the Indians by attending the last night-council where no woman was ever allowed to be present. She explained to the as- sembled chiefs and warriors that were they to carry out their in tention of killing the white people grave results to the Indians would follow at the hands of the United States Government However, in spite of her warning an attempt was actually made to enter the town at night. Luckily a friendly clan frustrated the attempt. In keeping the white citizens informed of the impending peril and by de- laying the Indians from carrying out their intention long enough to allow the British gunboat to reach Sitka, there is no doubt that the lives of scores of white women and children were saved by the efforts of this brave woman.
 Formal Thanks Extended
 There, Be It Resolved that in recognition of the services of Mary Thlantich in saving the lives of the white people at Sitka, Alaska, the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska does hereby express the { thanks of the Territory for her ] noble deeds; and
 Be Is Further Resolved that rn:

young artist has beautiful voice of
wide range which she knows well
how to control for effectiveness. She
