What the Press Agents Say
RAMON NOVARRO IN METRO
 HIT "DAYBREAK" OPENS $ DAY RUN AT WARMERS STATE

That "Daybreak," which opened la 3 day engagement to-day at the Warner Bros State theater, should have truly Continental flavor seem- ed to De the intention of it's pro- ducers from the first moment the story was selected. It has been brought to the screen with Vien- nese, Dr Arthur SchnitZler, as author; Frenchman, Jacques Fey der, as director, and the distinguish ed young Latin, Ramon Novarro, in the stellar role of Willi Kasda.
 To many people Kasda will bring memories of the Novarro triumph in "The Student Prince" Certainly 1t has been a long time since he has brought to us a young officer of the Teutonic nations before the war. Kasda Is a delightful DOT trait, very different from the Span ish lovers in the two most recent Novarro pictures, Gall of the Flesh" and "In Gay Madrid No varrc is magnificent in close-fitting uniforms-with d monocle.
 The story is done in the best |sophisticated style of Schnitzler, the distinguished author of 'The Affairs of Anatol." It is, like Anatol. tale about gay love adventurer, but the similarity stops there. The pie ture starts on note of gayest comedy and swings through the entire gamut of emotions.
 Kasda, the lover, has become so accustomed to conquests. that he has come to think of love as only a game, as something which can never be serious. But Laura, ex- cellently done by the talented Helen Chandler, comes into his life and his whole philosophy is upset Changed from q sweet girl into q sophisticated woman by her ex- perience with Novarro, Miss Chandler provides the eliminating point for later scenes in the pic ture which touch very high point of fine drama.

1.-THE ROYAL FAMILY OF
 BROADWAY" AT NEW GARDEN

What is most certainly the clever
 est display of brilliant acting that film audiences have been privileged to see in many months is on parade at the New Garden theater, where
 "The Royal Family of Broadway" opens to-day for two day run. "The Royal Family of Broadway" is based on the famous play, "The
 Royal Family" by George s. Kauf-
 man and Edna Ferber. It depicts the home life of a leading family of American stage performers.
 But it is not the impressive quail ity of the original playwrighting alone which makes this play a won derful movie. Most of the splendid
 attributes of this production are found in the stirring craftsmanship
 of Fredric March, Ina Claire. Hem
 rietta Crosman and Mary Brian-as
 presentable quartet of sterling
 actors as one could wish for.
 "The Royal Family of Broad
 way" Is rich in comedy. romance,
 pathos and drama. It is invested
 with sparkling glamor-it moves
 with the dazzling speed of meteor.

THE CANADIAN ROCKIES

Among the worlds beautiful mountains are the Canadian Rockies, which stretch from southern Canada,
 northward into the Klondike region.
 The length of the range is about 1,600 miles.
 Scientists tell an interesting story about these mountains. They say that long ago the whole area was
 under water; and they can show us l the ermains of thousands of sea animals, found in the rock layers, as proof that where we now have mountains there was once sea. | The rock itself is part of the proof; for much of it is limestone formed from the ground-up shells l of millions of shellfish. Other rocks in the mountains are shale, formed | from mud or silt brought into the olden sea by rivers. When the seq
 waters were dried up, or were
 pushed away by rising land. the mud was left to dry and harden into rock.
 Long age ago, because of the
 shrinking of the earth which is be-
 lieved to be always going on. the | sea bottom was pushed upward until 1t formed mountain range! | If you want to gain an idea of
 the shrinking of the earth, let an
 orange remain in dry place for a few weeks. It will shrink and

 peak in the Canadian Rockies. It

The work will start there in the near future, says the Juneau Empire. Pat Lynch, member of the drill ing concern, was there several days ago conferring with MT. Bradley about the project. He left recently for his headquarters to assemble equipment and sup plies for immediate shipment to the ground.

HISTORIC s|TKA CASTS
 SPELL ON VISITING . IDAHO CONGRESSMAN

"Sitka is one of the most inter esting attractions of the North- land and I am surprised that more is not done to bring this historic city with her enthalling annals or Russian occupation and American sovereignty and her surpasslng scenic grandeurs to the attention of visitors" declared Addison T. Smith Republican Representative in Congress, whose home Is Ill Twin Falls, Idaho, according to the Juneau Empire.
 He came north with the Con- gressional party that voyaged on the steamship Yukon and the Coast Guard cutter Tahoe. He stayed around Juneau instead of taking the trip to Seward and Fairbanks.
 T am greatly impressed by Sit ka,s historic and scenic advan- tages. The city is we'll worth visit of several days by any tour ist. and more should be done to bring the ancient capital of the Territory to the attention of trav- elers.
 Indeed, I marvel at the condi- tions existing in Alaska and her rich and varied resources. The mild delightful climate is surpris- ing, and of course, the scenery is quite unrivalled by anything any where else in the world Fish cries and fur yield rich returns, which will increase rather than diminish in the future, and for estry wealth is incalculable. Gold mining has attained considerable development, but present results in this region are small to what they are sure to be in the future.
 Every Congressman and Senator should come to Alaska. Federal lawmakers should make themselves acquainted with this great Terri tory and then they would be more capable and more willing to cooperate in it's development
 "The annual deficit of the Alas ka Railroad makes some of the Federal lawmakers nervous, but I do not think that the system should be disposed of or it's serv- ice curtailed to the detriment of the development of the country.
 The crying need of Alaska is air mail. To wait three or four days for letters from the States is a disadvantage that is archaic in view of late aerial develop nent, and this terrible fault should be remedied by the Federal govern ment at once.
 "ESta blishment of air mail serv- ice in the North will help busi- ness not only in this Territory but

Chapter 28 JOHN WAVES STORY

My real name is Gohn Dacre Wave Vanderleur St. Clair, and my father was Dacre Vanderleur St. Clair, the multi millionaire rail- way, oil and mining magnate.
 He made his millions quite hon estly, and provided work for near ly as many thousands of men as he amassed thousands of dollars.
 But, as apparently upon all vast wealth, there was a curse upon his money, a curse inherent in it by reason of it's very magnitude, and his life was almost as unhappy as my own has been.
 To me, his sole heir, he left our famous family diamond, The Un- setting Sun, and that portion of his wealth that remained after he had dispersed much of it in pro- noting philanthropic schemes.
 My first misfortune, attributable to my wealth was my marriage with girl who told me, within a couple of years of our wedding that she had married me for my money and for nothing else. Also that she loved with all her heart and soul man, an army officer obscure and penniless,, whom she had known from babyhood and had adored from childhood
 This was a heavy blow to me, for I was very fond of her.
 However, I could not be such a cur and cad, even if I were such fool, as to keep tied to me a woman who loved another man particularly woman who had laid me under such a debt, such a crushing burden of debt, as she had done, in giving me Rosemary I begged Alicia, my wife, to wait a little, to wait till Rosemary be- gan to walk and to talk-and
