''MilIieD Opens
 at The State Drama of the Right Girl Who Met the Wrong
 Men

The struggle of the red-headed "Millie" to find a pair of male eyes capable of seeing past her beauty into the sincerity of her heart pro- vides fine dramatic structure for Radio Pictures "Millie'' which opened to-day at the Warner Bros State theater.
 Millie's story. although not unusual in life, is decidedly new screen ma terial. It has been called "the drama of the right girl who met the wrong men" and 1t is just that.
 Superb Dramatic Qualities
 Adapted from the Donald Hen .derson Clarke novel of the same name, "Millie" has been transferred to the talking screen with fine dra- matic results. It is marked by adept handling of a story which might have been predominantly sex and a cast which certainly deserves the word super, when referring to dis tinguished performances.
 Helen Twelvetrees as the fiery- haired heroine undoubtedly will be hailed throughout the country for her enactment of this role which re- quires the handling of so many vari- ed emotions. The true human quail ity with which she endows the char acter and the dramatic height she attains in the climactic scenes will make "Millie" character everyone will remember.
 Brilliant Supporting Cast Lilyan Tashman as the gold-dig- ging Helen" contributes several comedy scenes with Joan Blondell as the dumb girl friend, Angie The numerous "wrong men" who crossed "Millie's' path are James Hall as Maitland" Robert Ames as "Tommy" and John Halliday as "Damier."

Probably reflecting the serious- ness of the British financial crisis, new rates of exchange on Canadian money and paper were quoted here by both local banks upon adviceS from their Seattle correspondents.
 Canadian checks today were sub- ject to a discount of 12 per cent. Canadian currency and silver was discounted 13 per cent. These rates are also subject to change without notice, it was announced by the bankers.
 Until today there has been 8 purely local exchange rate on Can- adian checks and currency of one per cent. This was necessary to cover the cost of handling them.
 These are the highest exchange quotations on Canadian money in more than a decade. During the latter part of the war period and for short time thereafter app proximately the same charges were made.

DOnOl,Oe Issues CaIl for
 Territorial Contention
 AtFairbanks, January12

A Territorial Democratic con- vention to be held in Fairbanks beginning January 12, and a Di- visional convention in each of the four Judicial Divisions Alaska, not later than December 10, have been called by T. J. Donohoe, Chairman of that party's Territor- ial Committee.
 The time and place of each of the four divisional gatherings are to be decided by the Divisional Chairmen. In the First Division it is virtually certan that Petersburg will be the meeting place, and late in November probably the time. Purpose Is TwOfOld
 The purpose of the gatherings are twofold In the first instance the Democrats plan not so much to re-organize their party as to strengthen the organization they have and extend it's scope of actly- ity in preparation for next years campaigns. This phase of the work is, of course, mostly a purely party affair.
 Party leaders. undoubtedly with the approval of majority of the membership, have turned to the convention m e hod of achieving this object. In order to hold a representative Territorial conven- tion it is first necessary to hold Divisional meets. And before Di- visional Conventions are possible precinct meetings for the election of delegates must be held. All of these steps attract attention and create interest, politically, among the rank and file of the party This is, of course, the first and one of the major concerns of any parti- san organization.
 Seek Strong Ticket
 Alaska Democracy doesn't intend to take any chances next year on going into the campaign with a weak ticket from either Divisional or Territorial standpoint The most important objective the party has, in the opinion of National Commit teeman James J. Connors, is to select the very best timber avail able for every Divisional and Terri torial office to be filled in the 1892 elections.
 There is much talk that even yellow dog could be elected next year when the present Administra- tion goes before the country in the national elections. Be that as it may, the Democrats of Alaska owe it to themselves, to the Terri tory at large, and to the national organization. to name only high caliber candidates to lead them to the polls. and that is what we ex- pect to do," MT. Connors said.

Primary Not Effective

''The party has picked the con- vention system because experience has proved to 1t that the primary system is not one that is calculated to bring out such timber. In the past Is years in Alaska 1t has proved cumbersome, expensive, and often failed to register the will ot the party members, he declared.
 50 general has this view become that last Spring the House of Rep resentatives of the Territorial Leg islature by decisive vote passed bill repeating the Territorial primary law, and individual mem- bers of the Senate largely agreed the move was wise, but certain technical obstacles prevented the passage of the House bill.
 "Of course, there will be party primary elections next spring as usual But the Democrats intend to enter them with lists of Divis- iona candidates endorsed by Di- vlsional conventions and Territor- ial candidates approved by Ter ritorial convention"
 DOnohoc Lists Objectives
 In his call for the several con- ventions, MT Donohoe listed the purpose of them as follows: the Divisional gatherings are to nomi- nate full legislative tickets; elect a complete Divisional Committee oi seven members; elect Is delegates to a Territorial convention to be held at Fairbanks, beginning at pm. January 12, l932; and to transact such other business as may properly come before them
