PRIVATE AFFAIR." BASED ON NOTED ST heE SUCCESS
Ann Harding Sta.e-a e.. / Drama Billed at Col
 iseum Tonight

Sophisticated drama a, painted against a background of luxury, culture, passion, scandal and trag- edy superbly presented, the stellar role portrayed by Ann Harding with compelling artistry-these are strong clements in the Pathe all- dialogue production, Her Private Affair." which will be presented to- night and tomorrow night at the Coliseum Theatre.
 The story written by Leo Urvant- gov, a distinguished Austrian dram atist, under the title, The Right to Kill caused a furore through out Europe and, translated by Her man Bernstein, the play was pro- duced with tremendous success at the Garrick Theatre, New York, in February, 1926. It was adapted for the screen by Francis Edwards Paragon, a noted fiction writer and playwright, and the production was directed by Paul Stein.
 Independent Of the distinguished star, Miss Harding, there are stage players of wide reputation and popularity in the supporting cast. Harry Bannister, who in private life is Miss Harding's husband, plays the part of her husband in the story of the picture. He is a stage player of prominence who toured the country in numerous stage sue eesses, makes his talking debut on the screen in this production. The remaining players include John Loder, Arthur Hoyt, William Orla- mond, Lawford Davidson, Elmer Ballard and Frank Reicher.
 The story of Her Private Affair" is that of young wife who, as result of a reckless friendship formed during her temporary sep ayation from her husband, finds herself a victim of blackmail. In a mad attempt to stem the tide of disgrace, she makes a mad rendez- vous, and accidentally kills her tormentor. Scene after scene of tense drama and gripping appeal follow. The dialogue is brilliant and the action dramatic and swift moving.

 Tn addition to wei justified at tempts to extend the area Of known oil lands in this part of Alaska there appears to have been considerable speculative promo ton whereby individuals have been induced to pay many thousand dollars for services in obtaining oil holdings that could have been obtained directly from the Gov ernment at a nominal charge. In their initial stages it is difficult to distinguish between the worth while and the fraudulent promo ton schemes, so that actual per- formance in the field must be watched closely before deciding in- to what class any individual prof ect falls. That there is some oil in this region is clearly proved by the producing wells near Ka- talla and by the numerous seep- ages at many points between Ka- talla and Yakataga, but whether it occurs under such conditions as will make a commercial oil field must await the evidence furnished by the drill.
 Drilling for oil in the region west of Chickaloon was continued by the Peterson Oil Association. Much time was lost because of the necessity of extracting or avoid ng a tool that had become brok-

September seriously damaged the plant of the Healy River Coal cor poration and washed out long stretches of the spur track that connects the mine with the main track of the Alaska Railroad Re- pairs were rushed so that deliver ies of coal were back to normal within month, and no serious hardship was caused to the com- pany or it's customers. The con- tract for most of the coal used by the Alaska Railroad during the year was held by the Alaska Matanuska Coal Co.,, and conse- quently that company's mine was operated to about capacity of its equipment, but the contract for 1881 was awarded to the Evan Jones Coal company, and during December increased activities were in progress at that company's mine to furnish a larger output. Some blacksmith coal was pro- duced during the summer at the Ross Hockey property, on Coal Creek During the year there has been increased activity, both by the Government and by private persons, looking toward assisting in the development and use of Alaska coals.
 Among the effects of this ac- tivity are the more extensive use of the Matanuska coals in several schools under the Office of Edu- cation and in some of the can- neries adjacent to Cook Inlet. During the year, by Presidential order, tract known to be coal bearing in the vicinity of Vain wright, in northern Alaska, was set aside to supply coal for some of the schools under the Office of Education. The coal mine on Admiralty Island, southeast Alas ka, at which some coal was mined in 1929, is reported to have been idle during 1930No new develop ments were reported to have been in progress during the year in the Boring River field nor in any of the other places where coal is known to occur in Alaska.
 Petroleum at Standstill
 All the petroleum produced in Alaska in 1880 continued to come from wells of the Chilkat Oil Go. near Katalla, where, in addition to the oil wells, the company op- crates a small refinery. The gaso- line and distillate produced from this petroleum are much in de- mand in the local market, as they are said to be of better quality than the usual commercial brands. This company is reported to have continued operations in this field on essentially the same scale as heretofore. A revival of interest

en off in the well. Drilling ceased
 early in the fall, but the operators
 report that they will resume work
 there next spring. No search for
 oil by drilling is reported to have been in progress in any of the other parts of Alaska that are be- lieved to hold pormise of being oil-
 bearing, such as the Alaska Penin-
 sula or the naval petroleum reserve
 in Northern Alaska. This lack Of
 activity should not be interpreted
 as indicating that the possibilities of finding petroleum in these re-
 gions are regarded as exhausted
 nor that search has been perman- ently abandoned. It simply means that the proving of a new oil field in Alaska is an extremely expensive task, which can be undertaken only
 by a large, strongly financed com
 pany and that such companies at
 present find more certain promise
 of immediate returns in other
 fields.
 Other Minerals
 "In addition '.c ;ne m.nera1 pro-
 ducts already mentioned, Alaska also produced during 1930 some lead, marble, limestone, tin, quick silver, and D atinum. The aggre- gate value ot the output of these minerals in ;930, together with
 that of petroleum, estimated to
 have been S341 GOO. Most of the lead was obtained as a by-product from the gold ores of the Alaska Juneau mine. The output of marble in 1850 came. as heretofore, en- tirely from she quarries of the Vermont Marble Company, near , the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, in Southeast Alaska. The mining of certain limetsone depos- it's on Dall Island, in Southeast
 Alaska, by the Pacific Coast Ce- ment Company, as source of one of the constituents of it's cement, was successfully continued through
 out the year. The raw material after preliminary crushing is ship ped to the company's main plant
 near Seattle The tin ore was
 derived principally from placers
 near Tin City in Seward Penin-
 sula, but small amounts were re-
 covered from placers in the Hot
 Springs district of the Yukon-Tan-
 ana region. Prospecting for tin
 ore near Big Creek, ir the Ruby
 district, was continued, but no recent details regarding the results of the search are available. The platinum metals came principally

R M 0 ODELINC OF PALACE THEATRE IS NEARLY DOM E.
Show House Under L. H. Kubley Will Have Best
 and Latest Equipment

Remodeling of the Palace the ater is near completion, and the playhouse, under the new man agement of L. H. Kubley, will be ready for business in the near fu- tllre. The work of transforming and rearranging the interior was let to the B. r. Shearer Company of Seattle and the task is being directed by R. c. Peacock. De- signing and coloring are in charge of Paul Randolph assisted by Paul LeMead and a staff of deco rators. c. Carlson is supervising the carpet-laying, has cut the draperies and is installing the stage lighting and equipment. Modernistic art is the keynote of interior embellishments.
 The lobby is spacious and com fortable. A double set of doors has been put into place to allow better approach and exit.
 Foyer Is Larger
 The foyer has been increased in size to insure improved ven tilation and to facilitate access to the auditorium proper.
 The balcony is reached by a wide stairway leading from the foyer.
 The drapery scheme corresponds with the color and design of walls and ceiling. The finest velour fab rics were selected for draperies.
 Every loge- seat in the theatre is made like an overstuffed lounge, and leaves nothing to be desired by the occupant in the way of comfort.
 The latest automatic controls have been installed for operation of stage draperiss. By pressing q button the projectionist can regu- late them to suit himself.
 A new lighting system is now functioning. The footlights, bor- der lights and auditorium lights are on through current and color hookups and are operated from a massive bank of dinners from the projection room. The lights can be dimmed CT frightened to any de- gree or changed to any color by the moving of levers.
 Heating and Ventilating
 The heating and Ventilating sys- tenn is said to be the finest of it's kind in Alaska. A massive fan brings in pure fresh air from outdoors, forces it over the heat- ing coils and into the theatre. Im- pure air is driven out through ducts to the roof. There is a complete change of air every ten minutes.
 The projection equipment is the latest. New Western Electric sound equipment has replaced the R. C.. A. photophone equipment formerly used. MT, Hurlburt, Western Elec- tric sound engineer, is supervis- ing installation and promises per- feet reproduction and clarity of tone. The theatre has undergone complete acoustic treatment, and Mir. Hurlburt is positive the sound and the reproduction of the Pal aces equipment will be as fine as any in the best theatres in the States.
