CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN CITY LIGHTS
 TO END TONIGHT
Friends and Lovers" for Midnight and Tomor-
 row at Capitol

With Charlie Chaplin in City Lights" showing for the last time tonight at the Capitol theatre Adolphe Menjou, Lily Damita, Laurence Olivier and Eric Von Stroheim in Friends and Lovers" !" will feature the new bill tomor- row. This new bill, which will have it's first regular presentation at the matinee tomorrow after noon, will be previewed as an af- ter-dance special at tonight's l o'clock matinee.
 Tonight is Silver Night Every woman attending either of to- nights performances will be given piece of table silverware.
 In City Lights" one of the most hilarious scenes depicts night at mediocre fight club and intro- duces Chaplin as a pugilist. In cidentally this is the first time that the comedian has appeared in the squared arena since he pro- duced, many years ago, '"The Champion"
 Fight Stadium Represented In order to provide the truly Chaplinesque atmosphere the en- tire arena of the big indoor stage was transformed to represent a fight stadium, with the necessary training quarters and dressing rooms. It is here that Chaplin goes behind the scenes to reveal the antics of the fighters and their trainers before entering the ring. More than 1000 persons were used for this scene. The spectators, all men, filled to overflowing the arena.
 Flashes of several bouts are shown and also the entire contest between Chaplin and his opponent, enacted by Hank Mann. These two put on fast two-round af- fair and it is the most humorous and peculiar slugging match ever | recorded by the camera.
 Badger Game Represented
 Friends and Enemies" demon strates the badger game" on a grand scale.
 The badger game" sometimes is referred to as a polite shake down" or blackmail. The woman in the case always is a strikingly beautiful and cultured person. She lures gullible men into a compro- missing situation; then, suddenly, a very indignant husband appears on the scene.
 Of course, his injured feelings at losing the love of his wife to a home-wrecker usually can be as suaged by money. After 'pay day the pair split the money and move on to greener pastures.
 Exotic Feminine Lure
 In Friends and Lovers" Miss Damita, exotic French star, is the feminine lure. Menjou and Olivier, who play British army officers, are her victims. Von Stroheim as the sardonic Sangrito and injured husband does the collecting.
 Friends and Lovers" directed by Victor Schertzinger, also has in it's cast such names as Hugh Her bert, Frederick Kerr and Blanche Friderici.

 Since the Territorial Legislation of Hawaii declared for Statehood year ago there has been more or less sentiment in Alaska for simi- lar action upon the part of it's Territorial Legislature, without giv- ing much consideration to the largely increased cost of maintain ing a state with limited popu- lation of 60000 peolpe scattered over an area of 586, 400 square miles.
