ALASKAN HAS
 STARTED LONG
 DOG TEAM TRIP

One of the longest dog team trips
 on record will be consummated by
 Clyde (Slim) Williams if his ven
 ture succeeds, says the Fairbanks
 News-Miner. Williams is the man
 who made a canoe from canvas and
 rescued Ruth Miller Staats, owen
 Meals and Howard Stewart a few
 years ago when the plane in which
 they were riding crashed on a Cop
 per river island. He will travel over
 historic trails and had barely start ed when he reached Chistochina, 75
 miles from Copper Center. From
 there he will go to Panama Crossing and then to Dawson and south over the proposed International Highway route. The first part of his trip
 was made over the AbercromDle
 trail, a route staked out in 1903 or
 1904 by Major Abercrombie of the United States army and traversed long before that by a Russian party of explorers under Sereberinkoff in 1S47. Every member of that party was killed by Indians. Williams is on his way to the Chicago Fair ard the International Highway will get considerable publicity from his trip as he has been requested to carry a highway banner on his sled and to give the highway all the public ity possible.
 The boy editors of the Chitina Herald report Williams trip as fol- lows:
 We would like to see the fair in Chicago, but we couldn't go the way Slim Williams is going. Slim is a great trapper & dog musher & has run around the Mts. all 1yer Alaska in a way that makes the wilest Indian look pretty tame. Slim left Copper Center a few days ago with team of nine wolves that are part dog. Nobody but Slim could drive such team. They are Wild, vicious and treacherous But Slim has voice & vocabulary that Will subdue even team of Alaskan wolves & he is as strong as a gorilla and as active as panther. When Slim laffs it sounds like a 4th of July celebration. But when he swears it sounds like an earthquake driving thunder storm. There is only one kind of animal that Slim cannot Tame but neither could Adam. Slim is going to Dawson by way of Nabesna, Chisana < Forty Mile creek. He Says he expects to make about 20 mi. a day. He says he will stop at Road Houses Trap pers cabins & under the spruce trees or in snowbanks. It's all the same to him. From Dawson he will drive thru Canada and expects to get to Chicago some time in June. He is going to keep log of his trip & when he gets there he will have the signatures of every person he sees on the way. He is going to report his progress to the Herald & we will let you know how he is getting along"

Great Star in "As You

Greta Carlo achieves a fresh
triumph in another perturbation of
popular stage play in "As You
Desire Me-" her new Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer starring vehicle which
will open at Polls Palace Sunday.
On the stage, the Luigi Piran-
dello play was tremendous dra-
matte hit. 1t packed an unusual
punch that at once caught the in
terest of theatergoers. AS q talk
ing picture, 1t wins an even greater
fascination to this reviewer. BY
reason Of the intimacy of the cam
era and microphone. the play be-
comes vastly more real. Its charac-
ters stand out more sharply, SEEM
ingly more human. Then, too,
there Is the gorgeousness of the
settings, freedom in NATURAL
backgrounds. that add a pictorial
beauty lacking in the theater.
Director George Fitzmaurice has
done a splendid job in bringing the
play to the screen and in his artis-
tic zeal is amply aided by the mag
nificence of Miss CARLOS portrayal
of the role of lara, Budapest cafe
entertainer who poses as the miss

Edmund Lowe and Evelyn
Brent Starred in
Thrill

Two outstanding qualities OF
Attorney for the Defense" Colum-
bia picture showing at the State
theater starting to-day contribute
to the abundance of entertainment
value that the film has-fine dra
matte action and subtlety. The two
reach q nice balance that will
make the film attractive to all
types of audiences.
The punch of the story's drama
hits out in the first sequence-in
the courtroom scene when Lowe
Is Historically denounced by an in
nocent man condemned to the
chair. From that point 1t builds
through the scenes where Lowe
and Dillaway argue over Evelyn
Brent, through the scene in her
apartment after the murder, to the
final trial scene where Lowe de-
tends himself; mounting steadily In
dramatic intensity to the climatic
scene when Lowe reveals the MUIR
derer.
The numerous subtle touches of
direction and acting mark 1t def
initely as a superior film. Sus-
pense is maintained throughout the
picture with the audience kept
guessing about the murderer until
the last scene. Character analysis
Is admirably handled with the role
of Bill Burton, played by Edmund
Lowe. From an over-ambitious
