SEVEN FACES
 SEEN TONIGHT
 AT COLISEUM
Paul Muni Featured in h. teresting, All-Talk-
 ing Picture

Seven Faces" Fox Movietone all talking production, which will be | presented tonight a. the Coliseum Theatre is highly entertaining story with many unusual twists, to start with, and it has the added novelty of one actor playing seven roles.
 Paul Muni carries the burden of the production.
 He is first seen as Papa Chibou, aged caretaker of a Parisian wax works exhibit. The museum is a trysting place for lovers and Papa Chibou is lovable in aiding Cupid.
 Tragedy Strikes Old Man
 Tragedy strikes the old man. The museum is sold. a junk dealer buy ing the wax effigies to melt them down. Papa Chibou is grieved. at leaving his wax friends, partic- ularly Napoleon who has been his confidante and counselor for 25 years. He foolishly steals the Ma poleon statue. Almost immediately he is captured.
 A young lawyer, who has fre- quented the museum with his sweetheart, defends the old man. He has quarreled with the girl, who incidentally is the daughter of the presiding judge.
 Papa Chibou describes how the museum has been the meeting place of lovers and how they have used Napoleon's pocket as a post office. He reaches in the pocket and finds a note addressed to his lawyer. It is from the girl, telling of her love.
 Makes Great Speech
 Electrified, the young lawyer makes @ great speech which SO moves the judges that they sus- pend sentence and buy the statue of his beloved Napoleon for him.
 In the wax works sequence, six of the figures come to life in the person of Muni. They cover wide range from Napoleon to Joe Cans, the negro lightweight cham pion, and include Don Juan, Schu- bert, Diablero the Great, and Will lie Smith, Cockney who won the Calcutta Sweepstakes.
 Marguerite Churchill is delight fully appealing in the role of the presiding judges daughter. Russell Gleason reaches the high point of his characterization as the young lawyer who is her suitor.
 Lester Lonergran Gustav von Seyffertitz, Walter Rogers and Eu- genie Besserer have interesting roles The direction is by Berthold Vier- tel.

LET US BE GAY. : AND BRATS'TOP
 BILLATC CAPITAL
Feature Drama and Good Comedy Included in
 Opening Program


 Let Us Be Gay" with Norma Shearer in the starring role, is the feature and "Brats" with Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the principal parts, is the comedy, of fered on the opening program to- night at the Capital, formerly the Palace, theatre. These attractions will be shown tonight, Friday and Saturday nights. The doors of the theatre will open at ' o'clock this evening. The first show will start at 7:30.
 Let Us Be Gay"s was adapted from the New York stage success by Rachel Brothers which ran fc.' ten months at the Little Theatre with Francine Larrimore in the role portrayed on the screen by Miss Shearer.
 Robert z. Leonard, who produced the stars last success, 'The Di- vorcee," directed the current pro- duction and gathered together an unusually important supporting cast which includes Rod La Rocqua in the leading masculine role, Marie Dressler, Gilbert Emery, H d d a Hooper, Raymond Hackett, Sally Eilers and Tyrrell Davis. T sa
 Loses Husbands Affection
 The story is an amusing tale of a woman who loses her husband s affection because she neglects her appearance in an over-efficient ab- scrbance in household duties. A few years in Paris, however, teaches her a number of things she. had never thought of before and she returns in time to prevent her eX- husband from marrying a charming but entirely unsophisticated debu- tante.
 The plot offers Miss Shearer plenty of opportunity for smart comedy as well as straight drama. while humor of more ribald type is offered by Marie Dresslsr in the role of an cratic dowager.
 Attractive Socisty Settings.
 The scenes are laid in attractive society settings and include vistas of country gardens, wooded hooks, and luxurious interiors. Miss Shear el is seen in wide variety of smart costumes and reveals num- Der of new cultures.
 The combination of an intriguing plot, clever characterizations, witty dialogue and particularly effec- tive performance upon the part of the star, are said to make this pie ture unusually good entertainment Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy burst forth into song in "Brats,' a Hal Roach production for Metro Goldwyn Mayer. The song is Go to Sleep My Baby" and the reason is a couple of brats who refuse to go to sleep without the benefit of a soft refrain. There are plenty of other funny incidents in "Brats.'

WEST PALM PEACH, Fla, Jan. 15. Machines which cut sugar cane, strip it of blades, cut it again into small pieces and load it into truck cars all in one opera tion, will be used to harvest cane crops on Everglades plantations this winter
 Engineers who announced the machines said if it proves practical, it will be the first instance of such machinery being used success fully in the industry.
 Cane harvesting machines, simi- lar to the ones to be used here, had been invented in Australia. engineers said, but labor difficult ties prevented their use in Aus tralian cane fields. Another device was also tried out in Cuba, but was unsuitable for use there.

 for Coming Concert

They had made reservations on the motorsfaip Northland, which was scheduled 5. to arrive at thil port Friday night or Saturday fore noon, but the vessels crash on reef off Shelmcken Island while bound north yesterday compelled an immediate change in the trans portation plans of the singers.
 Yesterday afternoon, verin Swanson and Einar Olsen of this city, who are directing arrange ments for the concert, received a cablegram from the chorus saying that it would depart from Ket- chikan tonight and that it's 30 choral singers and several soloists would arrive here before Saturday morning.
 All Kinds of Melody
 The program of selections for the concert was given to the printer today, so copies can be distributed at the theatre door to persons at tending. The program shows that music can be sad, sentimental or glad and that all three kinds can be interesting and enjoyable.
 The chorus will emphasize the happy and hilarious side in the most of their songs, and it is this, perhaps, which makes the singers such great favorites in Ketchikan, where they are regarded as the most popular musical organization in the city.
 Fine Solo Number
 Edwin Sande, tenor soloist of the chorus, will offer an especially fine number by the great Russian com

GRAINS OF SAND

We make mistakes right
from the start,
None are perfection born,
$50 do not Judge your fellow
man
Nor for past deeds do
mourn.
For after all each one of us,
Has tasted of life's sor-
rows.
Sure the sunshine of hap
pineSS,
Is built on lost tomorroWs.
Your life and mine are like
unto,
The tiny grains of sand.
Blown and whipped by the
winds of chance,
Across times desert land.
Some of us set a goal to
reach,
While others lag behind.
But fate stands there and
plays her tune.
While you and | mark
time.
Then struggle onward with
a smile,
The thrill of success lies
ahead.
t's a waste of time to stop
and pine,
While there's life hope is
never dead.
Our goal is reached through
the faith we have
The faith in God and man.
With this we can travel to
the heights,
Though we're just a grain
of sand.

This year 46 different
All club girls were enrolled
in club work, 13 moved
away, two dropped out of
school, one dropped out of
the club because her school
work was heavy, and %
completed all of the work.
Of all the girls in the clubs
at the end, only two failed
to finished the work, one
because her father was sick
and the other because she
moved into that school dis
trict too late to make it pos
sible to finish. This is a good
record but next year | hope
we can make it better.
| am wishing the women
will start right now to have
a bank into which they
would drop small change
from time to time so they
would have the money on
hand the latter part of Aug
asst.
Oftentimes one of the

hat they do not have the
