 GILBERT PLAY
Phantom of Paris to Be Seen Last Times To-
 night at Capitol

In "The Plantonl of Paris, which will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capitol thea tre, John Gilbert is offered 3 new type of vehicle for his his tronic talents.
 Still, the flashing lover of the screen, Gilbert plays the part of a magician who, by his skillful man. ipulations, is able to extricate him. self from every type of device known to man, halldcuffs, straight , jackets, leg irons, etc.
 Settings Are Stupendous But not alone does the clever work of the Metro Goldwyn May CT star carry the picture. In quick succession, the scenes go from one stupendous setting to another One, the interior of an amphi- theatre where Gilbert, as Cheri- Bibi, holds his audience spellbound with his tricks, is particulary bril- iant. The spectators in this scene are dressed in the very Latest mode, a verita|ble splash of fash ion.
 A vast French prison scene fol lows close upon several shots in mansions of the elite, the home of a marquis, drawing rooms of mag nificence, bathrooms resplendant with lights and courtlsy appoint mentS. Ultra Stylish Gowns
 The gowns and evening wraps worn by Leila Hya1ns and Ma talie Moorhead are the last word in ultra fashion. One gown, an evening creation of velvet and spiderweb spangles worn by Miss Mooraead, was so intricate that it took three maids twenty five minutes to help Miss Moorhead into it.
 The garden shots of the mar quis' estate depict the sedate and courtly charm of the French for mai surroundings of the palatial villas. Correct in every detail, no expense was spared to bring be- fore the public the finest that the France of the wealthy and fash ionable has to offer.
 The cast of the new Gilbert ve- llicle includes Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt, c. Aubrey Smith, Ian Keith and Alfred Hickman.

 THEIR STUFF FOR CRUISERS CREW

 Flour Mission

Particularly fine views of the active volconic mountains of Paw lof and S,hishaldin on the Alaskan Peninsula were afforded officers and crew of the, United States Coast Guard Cutter Tallapoosa, on the vessels recent cruise to Unalaska and Aktu to give relief to the imperilled trading schooner Ellnice.

 Pavbof and Shishaldin were pass ed May. IA.
 Day Was Beautiful
 "Dt was beautiful day." said Capt. Q. M. Dench, commander of the Tallapoosa ''The sky was clear as we passed Pavlof. The volcano was steaming gently. The stream of steam carried in a long wraith miles to leeward. No smoke was coming out. In May last year, when the Tallapoosa passed Paw lov, the mountain was belching forth considerable smoke.
 Shishaldin was smoking as we passed on the recent cruise. The smoke column was rising about 4,000 feet from the top of the era ter, and before dissipating the smoke formed a cloud of purplish, wine-color After dark, and until fog shut off the view, there was irregular prilsing flame rising to heights of 200 to 500 feet above the crater. While the flame var fed in height, it was continually above the top of the crater"
 600 Sacks of Flour
 Six hundred sacks of Red Cross flour will be loaded at Seward by the Taillapoosa and will be dis tributed to Kodiak, Karluk, Sand Point, Unga, Belkofsky, Unalaska, Kanatak and Squaw Harbor.
 Enroute from Cordova to Ju- neau, the Tallapoosa stood by to assist if necessity arose, the Unit ed States naval planes Seward and Unalaska on their flight from Yak utat to Cordova. The flight was made without incident.
 The Tallapoosa departed from Juneau April on what was in- tended should be a brief cruise to Sitka, having as passengers Gov. George A. Parks It. Hodge and Dean c. E. Rice. =
 Ordered to Help Eunice
 At Sitka the cruiser received or- ders to proceed to the Westward and search for the Eunice which was reported lost between iUnalas- ka and Aktu. Gov. Parks, It. Hodge and Dean Rice disembark- ed fram the Tallapoosa at Sitka and returned to Juneau on a con- mercial steamship. 44~afes
 The Tallapoosa reached Unalas- ka April 15. In the meantime word had been received the Eunice after most hazardous experience had reached Tktu with her tail shaft broken and her steering gear jammed.. She had become almost helpless in Squam Pass. She was swept by wind and tide along dangerous, rocky shores, but nqti-l mately worked her way into AlEtu Harbor. Aboard of the little craft besides Capt. Nelson and four In- dian sailors, were Bishop Antonin of the Russian Orthodox Church and MT. Proctor, an agent of the Alaska Commercial Company. F
 The Tallapoosa proceeded to Ak ttu and lowed the Eunice and brought her company to sUnalaska.
