EAST LYNNE" HELD
OVER AT APOLLO

With, one of the most widely
known casts to be assembled for
an audible screen production, EAST
Lynne" continues for the second
week at the Apollo theater.
EAST Lynne" brings Ann Hard
ing in the role of the famous Lady
Isabel, sympathetic character in the
famous English novel. Included in
the cast are Conrad Nagel, Give
Brook, Beryl Mercer and Cecilia
LOTUS.
The history of East Lynne" is as
dramatic as the eventful love life of
Isabel herself. Mrs. Ellen price
Wood, better known as Mrs. Henry
Wood, an invalid most of her life
after marriage, wrote practically all
of her novels and short stories in a
reclining chair. East Lynne" was
her third novel, being published
serially in January, 1861, in the New
Monthly magazine in England. In
the fall of that same year it was
published in that country in book
form in three volumes.
Frank Lloyd directed the produc-
ton and Joseph Urban, designer for
stage and screen, personally super
vised the erecting of the sets used in
East Lynne"
Vitaphone Varieties and Fox
Movietone News are included on the
program.

MOVIE DOG TOPS
BILL AT THE LYRIC

TINE main interest Of the Lyric
u stage show which opens today
centers about a truly marvellous
dog, namely Rim Tin Tin, who is
making personal appearance as
the star of the six-act vaudeville
bill this week.
The screen feature is wartime
naval drama, THE Seas Beneath, .
which has as its star George
O'Brien.
Rim Tin Tin is said to be a blue
blooded animal with all the points
fanciers put so much stock in. In
his vaudeville act, Rim Tin Tin has
the assistance of his owner, edu-
Gator and friend, Lee Duncan.
Another star attraction of the
stage bill is the act which the origi-
nal Honey Boys have to offer. Way
back in the days when George Ev-
ans presented his Honey Boy Min
strels this quintet was prominent
in the sen1i-circle, and they have
continued as a unit ever since. To-
day they are recognized among the
foremost blackface entertainers.
Lou Cameron, the third stellar
act on the bill, is called "The Pride
of the Clan," meaning he is the
cleverest son Of the famous family
Of comedians known as the Cam
erons.
Three other RKO vaudeville acts
complete the stage program.
With its original story written
by a naval officer, its screen play
and dialogue by another, and
filmed in full cooperation by the
navy, "The Seas Beneath" is said
to be nearly perfect technically.
This first talkie, of the allied
campaign against the U-boat men,
ace, is from a story by James
Parker Jr., recently commander ir
the United States naval forces.
George O'Brien, Marion Leasing
Warren Hymer, Walter McCrail
William Collier ST.. and the we'll
known Virginia. judge, Walter C
Kelly, have the main roles IN the
case Of this Fox Movietone pro-
duction.

Have been asked many times
if think this comedy dealing with
the women of Athens and Sparta
declaring a sex strike until their
men folk stopped making war. is
a dirty play.
It is roudy, red, robust, noisy,
grand, beautiful and funny and has
more of that "it-sex' stuff in it
than any play I have ever seen on
the American stage.
To me it is not dirty show but
brilliant satire and comedy on
women's viewpoint of how to end
war.
And this comedy shows that the
husky warriors of Athens and
Sparta threw away their spears and
went trooping back to their bridal
and other beds.
And I might remark that this
ancient comedy done skillfully and
beautifully by Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn
and many others had a two weeks
run in Cincinnati.
The police did not raid the thea
ter and one executive with an ha-
bitual reformer objected to the play
(the objector not having seen it,
wisely remarked "that official Gin
cinnati was not dragging anybody
into the Shubert to see this play
and il they went they went there
on their own free will"
If you mentally wear flannel
nightgowns then you will get all
hot and bothered mentally about
this play. But if you think and
take mental exercises over ancient
literature, then you will have a
grand and glorious time seeing
'Lysistrata.'
And I will say at the same time
that Al Woods, when he presented
Twin Beds" years ago, he should
have presented 'Lysistrata." Then
the world would have had asworld
war because Twins Beds" was
thought shocking in its time.
Twin Beds" is just a little lamb
compared to the ancient play Of
''Lysistrata."
I saw the Russian do this in a
foreign language several years ago.
Then I journeyed back to hear the
red but brilliant lines in English.
And I was happy.
The ''foreword" in the program
gives one this bit Of information:
The 'Iysistrata" Of Aristophanes is the
one masterpiece Of Greek comedy which
seems to have everlasting life. 1t deals
with men and women and war and each OF
these subjects is handled with sort OF
penetrating realism. The axis Of the play
is the relation between the sexes. The
treatment is farcical. and. naturally.
broad, but the great health OF ATistophsnes
and his great wisdom hold it firmly on this
side Of everything that can be called leer-
ing or ucentious. In the present produc-
ton an effort has been made TO hold 70

best motion pictures of 1880.
Barry's reputation as a humorous
portrayer of the modern smart set"
is maintained in this comedy.
He shows complete understanding
and sympathy for the life problems
of the sons and daughters of the
rich and philosophers about them
in witty way through his master
full use of dialogue.
Holiday concerns itself with the
reluctance of two young people to
conform to the success creed of the
very wealthy and gives a synpa-
thetic ear to the philosophy of
Johnny Case who wants to play,
while young enough to still extract
the utmost enjoyment from it, then
work and probably repent in his
older years.
But more important than the plot
is the Characterization of Linda
Seton, who rebels, against the fu-
tility of adding more money to too
much-money merely for the sake of
career and who encourages john
ny Case in his desire to play while
still young.
Others in the cast include Mar
celia Parry as Lindas younger
sister Julia. John Roberts is Johnny
Case, Blair Taylor is Nick Potter,
a convivial friend, and Robert
Turner is Edward Seton, the father.
The play is in three acts, all of
which take place in a luxurious
New York home. Two settings are
used, one being a lavisllly fur
nished drawing room and the other,
the children's playroom on the top
floor, which is Linda's refuge when
the world and her family become
too much for her.
Holiday will open the Playhouse
on March 81 and continue at least
through Saturday evening, March
%. There will probably be extra
performances as the advance sale
has been the heaviest ever expert
enced at the Civic Theater.

Gabby the Boss

Gabby the Boss
 One of the things that stirred the ire of the usually genial MT Charles (Gabby) Street during the worlds series was the published suggestion that he was only the fig ure-head manager of the Cardinals and that the actual direction of the field forces was handled by Catch CT Jimmy Wilson and Capt Frankie Frisch.
 Those close to the St. Louis or ganization realized this was pure ly imaginative, but Street showed his resentment in the clubhouse before one of the games.
 Whats the big idea?" he de- manded. Printing stuff like that without a word of truth in it? I managed this club last year and this year; won the pennants and made the decisions in the world $ series. I'm not around shouting for myself, but at least I ought to get a fair and square deal"
 Gabby was assured he would get it. The baseball world in general knows what a courageous come back the old sergeant made. He has never set himself up as a mas ter mind, but the Cardinal stock holders, led by Sam Breadon, knew they had acquired a smart, cap- able baseball leader when they se- lacted Street to handle the club.

pUR DUTY TO YOUR HOME
(Fairbanks News-Miner)

There is a great deal of trade that goes away from the home market through carelessness pr thoughtlessness. Some of it goes out of town through the mistaken thought of independ- ence. Some trade goes out of town on account of spite.
 The present business condi- tion has been responsible for one good thing at least. People arc thinking more seriously of that "buy at home" argument in or der to help the times for them selves. It has been brought to cur reasoning power more fore ibly than ever before that mon ey spent at home is likely to come back to us.
 We presume that 20 per cent of the trade is low estimate of that which finds it's way out of the home market. Add 20 per cent to the present gross sales of the merchants and they would think that good times had come back. People are begin ming to realize this more strong ly than ever before.

COMMUNITY GYM ENTIRELY
 FREE OF DEBT Fairbanks News-Miner)

An appropriation of $3,O0O made by the city council at it's last meeting was the concluding act in a community effort to pro- vide a gymnasium fer the use ot toWnspeople and additional, school facilities without resort : ing to increased taxation.
 The payment of $3,0OO was the city's final financial transaction in retiring the 5000 mortgage which the municipality assumed as it's part of the obligation.
 As long ago as 1926 agitation was underway for such a build ing. A Community Center Cor |poration was formed but took no immediate steps. By the next year the school was so crowded that renting of space elsewhere was being seriously discussed.
 At that time H. H. Ross, then president of the Parent-Teachers Association, appeared before tne council and put before it a plan for raising money by subscrip- tion for the erection of the build ing.
 The council approved the plan and work of raising funds start ed at once. They poured in rap- idly and volunteer and paid la borers began to tear down the old Armory building on Fourth near Lacey, considerable mater ial from it being used in the new Community gymnasium.
