 Tonight is Silver Night" Every woman attending either of the reg ular performances tonight will re- ceive a piece of table silverware.
 Caught Plastered" is a hilarious comedy. The scenes are laid in a drug store that doesn't sell medi- cines.
 Seven Consecutive Appearances
 Tn this play, the worlds lon distance record for film stars in consecutive productions is threat ened. Miss Lee and Wheeler have played opposite each other in seven straight films, all comedies, with mounting popularity.
 "The Fighting Sheriff" presents Buck Jones in new riding tricks brand new leaps and falls that fairly take the breath away-and the production has g stirring story chuck full of bandits and shooting frays.
 Red River, a Western mining town, supplies the locale for The Fighting Sheriff" which concerns the efforts of Sheriff Bob Terry to run down the perpetrator of a series of stage coach robberies.
 Flash Is Suspected
 Bob strongly suspects that Flash Halloway, owner of the Hell's De- light Saloon, is the man wanted, but Bob can't get enough evidence to plant the guilt on Flash. Com plications arise when Mary arrives. She is the sister of a young outlaw who has been shot and killed by 
 Bob in one of the raids on the bandits. Bob and Flash become rivals for Mary's favor, and have several tilts. In the course of one of these, Bob gets information that enables him to catch Flash red handed at his game of highway robbery.
 Too Good To Give Away
 Just how, is too good to give away-it is enough to say that with the trouble making Flash out of the way, Bob and Mary have a smooth road ahead of them.
 Buck and his horse, Silver, score heavily, for the ace adventure star has taught his four-footed assist ant some ne wstunts that put him in the equine wonder class.

DUTLERS LIKE ADMIRALS NEED
 MANY UNIFORMS
Man Tn Possession Shows Midnight Tomorrow
 and Sunday

It costs just as much to be an English butler as it does to be an admiral in the Navy, at least as far as uniforms go, according to Robert Montgomery.
 In The Man In Possession, , which will be given an after dance preview at o'clock tomorrow night at the Capitol theatre and which will be shown Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, Montgomery plays the part of a British blade who impersonates a butler in the home of a dashing young widow. For the role he sought advice about wardrobe needs from the Metro Goldwyn-Mayer research de- pertinent.
 Has Five Uniforms
 To Montgomery's astonishment he learned that the weM-dressed English butler must have five complete changes of uniform For morning wear he has a severe frock coat with a striped vest. Then there is the afternoon uni form with brass buttons, standing collar, four-in n-hand black tie and high-cut vest. For evening he wears a uniform tailored in Navy full-dress style, with low vest, wing collar and black bow tie.
 Has Informal Attire
 In addition he also must have an informal uniform with sleeved vest for working about the house and white-coated outfit for service of stag dinners.
 Sam Wood directed the picturi- zation of the H. M. Harwood stage hit. Irene Purcell plays opposite Montgomery as the widow and Charlotte Greenwood heads the supporting cast which includes C.. Aubrey Smith, Beryl Mercer. Regi- nald Owen and Alan Mowbray

is no exchange orl Canadian cur rency As a matter Of fact, Caf- adian money is about the only kind in, circulation in the Yukon river country-or rather, was the only kind until the arrival there of the Dorbandt party. They had a considerable quantity of United States currency with them, for the purchase of furs and payment of expenses along the way, and their presence at Fort Yukon had the effect of relieving the monetary situation very materially.
 The airmen found a, lot of snow in the Fort Yukon district, and they were informed by oldtimers there that the snow is deeper and weather colder than ever previously recorded there. M

s1,OO0,00O FURS ON BAYCHIM0
 DROP TO S35,0O0

FAIRBANKS = From S1 900, 900, the fur cargo on the Arctic ice- crushed Hudson's Bay Company steamship Baychimo, has shrunk to $35, 900, if reliance can be placed in the judgment of Aviator Frank Dorbandt, who, with Wells Erwin and Herb Harrison, traders. recently returned to Fairbanks from a flight to various yarts of Northern Alas ka.
 When the Bayehimo, abandoned by her crew, was in the ice 60 miles south of Barrow, O. D. MOT : ris of that community and a party of Eskimos took all the fur off of her. Aviator Dorbandt is quoted as saying in the Fairbanks News Miner. The ice was very thin and the men took a tremendous risk in boarding the vessel They roped themselves together and sounded the ice with long poles.
 OCml0iSSIOHef ffOlUS uTS
 "All the skins from the boat have a total market value today of about $35. 900. They are in the hands of United States Commissioner Stan- ley R. Morgan at Point Barrow Morris has filed claim for $15 1000 salvage.
 The salvagers made the trip be- tween Point Barrow and the Bay chino, in ski-equipped Ford auto mobile which is a distance -eater along the shore ice. Point Barrow also boasts motorcycle.
 After the salvaging of the fur, the Baychimo disappeared.
 In the hope of spotting the ship we flew over the ice for 100 miles and could see for another 50 miles. There was no sign of the Baychimo The height of the pack ice is indicated by the fact that the shadows cast reached 100 feet in length.
 Couldn't Land On Ice
 Where the ice was not heayed up in jagged formation it was new and thin. Even if we had found the boat we could not have landed beside her.
 Men like Charley Brewers and Fred Hudson, who have been so long at Point Barrow they know every mood of the Arctic, declare it is altogether improbable the ship could have survived the crushing of the ice. There is just a bare possibility that the Baychimo could have been moved intact in the ice pan in which she rested and is now drifting in the ocean. There would be no special purpose in finding her, however.
 Everyone at Barrow is in fine health. The village is quite sur- prise to anyone going there for the first time.
 Good Comfortable Homes
 They have homes just as fine as any in Fairbanks or Anchoage. There are about 12 white people and they geJ along like one big

family. There IS no jail and no marshal, and no need for either. Point Barrow has the best radio reception in Alaska"
 Dorbandt, Erwin and Harrison flew from Fairbanks directly north to Point Barrow. They crossed to the Arctic through a valley leading across the Brooks range at an ele- vation of around 2,400 feet There was no. time on the entire flight, said Dorbandt, when a landing could not have been made in per- feet safety
 Several moose were sighted onthe Arctic slope and the flierS were told it was the first time in years moose have been reported in that locality. They are believed to have come from the Canadian side of the boundary.
 Habitations Are Few
 With the exception of a few trap pers' cabins along the Colville no habitation was seen on the Arctic side until Barrow was reached.
 The Arctic is virtually without fur this winter, it was said. Only 100 pounds of fur had been received at Barrow in contrast to 300 pounds a year ago and 5000 pounds the previous winter.
 The continuing scarcity of furs throughout the interior is compel ling many natives to abandon their acquired habits of civilization to the extent of living off the country, ac- cording to Aviator Dorbrandt. t Visited Many Districts l He visited the Black River, Por- cupine and numerous other dis tricts following his return to the Yukon valley from Point Barrow. Without furs," he explained, .'the natives cannot buy the food of the white man and they therefore are going back to their primitive ways of living. And apparently they are not suffering any as result of the change. This was learned from Chief Christian, whom we visited on the Arctic slope.
 Frank Tasunda, veteran Japan csc trader, who makes his home at Beaver. on the Yukon, does not need to deprive himself of store food, because he always carries a large stock of it for trading pur- poses.
 'But every winter he goes on a straight meat and tea diet, like an Eskimo, and he is the picture of health at TO years of age. | visited the oldtimer at Beaver. He has almost all of his teeth and in all the 40 years he has lived in the north, mushing in all kinds of weather, he has never frosted any part of his anatomy"
 Pilot Dorbandt's passengers did not do any business direct with the trappers, all of the furs ac- quired on the trip having been purchased from traders. several of whom were taken out on short flights to traplines and villages. The Dorbandt party got all the furs there were in the districts visited. With the exception Of ten unsealed marten, ard the entire lot had a value of about $4,000, which gives some idea of the scar- city of fur bearers this winter.
