JACKIE COOPER
 COMES SUNDAY
 IN NEW PICTURE
Lovable Little Star, with Fine Cast in Divorce Tn
 the Family at Capitol

Jackie Cooper makes his latest appearance on the Capitol screen Sunday night in Divorce in the Family" Based on an original story by Maurice Rapf, the new picture shows Jackie as the son of scientist, divorced from his wife. When the boy is placed in the care of his mother and stepfather he experiences a longing for his real father and a reluctance to attune himself to the strange environ ment of his new home.
 The childish tragedies of the little boy trying to get used to the new" father who does not un- derstand him, gives rise to both amusing and pathetic bits of dra- ma. The picture was directed by Charles F. Riesner, who produced Caught Short" and other Marie Dressler hits.
 Lois Wilson Plays Mother tiN NdDb 1ilSAuACo OQlll dQ Nd . gel as the stepfather, Lewis Stone as the father and Lois Wilson as the mother. Other, supporting roles are filled by Maurice Murphy, as the older brother, Jean Parker, Lawrence Grant, Richard Wallace and David Newell.
 Jackie has many hilarious mo- ments with his gang" of small playmates and with Indians on the American desert. There is an exciting fight, wreck on the river, sensational rescue, tense scene In which the stepfather gives his blood to save the injured brother and a dramatic courtroom episode.
 This all-star film is Jackie's first picture since his vaudeville tour and since When a Fellow Needs Friend" and The Champ"

MARION DAVIES, ST ARS IN FINE
 COMEDY DRAMA
Capitol P r e e mt S MG-M Star in Appropriate Role,
 Aided by Good Cast

Blonde of the Follies' at the Capitol theatre, gives Marion Da- vies a role in which she Is un- usually adept. She is a ziegfsld girl herself and knows just how to go about being a Follies beauty In her supporting cast, she is aid- ed by three other former Follies players, Billie Dove and Jimmie Durante and Clyde Cooke. 4af
 Robert Montgomery, who plays opposite Miss Davies, is possibly the screens current favorite lead ing man. He hes played opposite Greta Garbe, Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer and been starred in his own right. He invests his role as the suave, ingratiating New York playboy with touch of irony which manages to make him more attractive than ever.
 The story told at the Capitol is that of two girls of the tene- mems, Billie Dove and Marion Da- vies who manage to break into the chorus of the Follies and hence make their way to the luxury of Park Avenue.
 Francis Marion and Anita Loos wrote the story and the dialogue with the result that it is a grand combination of human interest and comedy. The dialogue is scin- tillating and Jimmie Durante and zaSu Pitts add fun to the picture.

CRIMSON BEARS BEAT SKAGWAY
 IN FIRST GAME
Juneau Takes Early Lead to Win 26-l8 from
 Plucky Rivals
SCORE BY QUARTERS

If the first quarter could have been left out of the reckoning, Skagway would have triumphed over Juneau last night in the op- ening game of their series for the interscholastic basketball cham pionship. But the Crimson Bears rolled up Il points in the first ten minutes as their rivals failed to connect with the barket, and this margin saved their hides. The fi- nal score was 26 to Is.
 At first it looked like runaway for Juneau, and the game appar- ently was on ice at the quarter post. But the ice began to melt as the plucky youngsters from Lynn Canal settled down and got their bearings, and for thirty minutes they battled the Bears to 8 stand still. They were clearly outclassed in the early part of the game, but actually held the scoring edge in the second and fourth periods.
 The half ended with Juneau leading by nine points, Is to 6. In the second half Skagway scored 12 points to Juneau's II, and the timers gun was not an unwel- come sound to the crimson Bears, whose lead was constantly threat ened by the visitors.
 Skagway Shows Speed
 Husky Gordon Blanchard, for ward playing jump center, snared the tip-off most of the time, giv- ing the Skagwayans an advantage which they were quick to seize. As the game progressed they show ed dash and fight that if in evil dence tonight, when the teams meet again, bodes no good for the Crimson Bears. Fans who saw last nights battle, expecting an easy victory for Juneau, went away not so sure that the tables will not be turned this evening.
 The Bears work last night lack ed some of the smoothness that has characterized their play this season, and their sharp-shooters blew several excellent scoring op- portunities. However, the Skag- way lads were checking closely.
 Only one substitution was made during the game In the third period Karabelnikoff, aggressive Juneau guard, injured his leg and Paul took his place. George re- turned to the game late in the if nal period He may not be able to play tonight. His absence would be severe blow to Juneau.
 De Mclays Beat United
 In the preliminary game the De- Molays won from United Meat in a close though rather loosely play ed contest, 28 to 27. The De Mo lays led at the half IT to IA.
 United Meat and Y. P. A. c. will open tonight's double bill, starting at 7:30. The High School jazz band, which entertained the big crowd last night with its pep py music, will again be out in full force and regalia.
 skagway Win Play Douglas

PETE JELICH FINDS ARTIST
 IS RELATIVE
Daughter of Fellow Trav- eler from Dalmatia, Now
 Prima Ballerina

The trip he made to California last Spring brought Pete Jelich pioneer of Alaska and the Yukon more than the rest he desired.
 By the merest chance he discov- cred that Dolores Mitrovich, who with her ballet company was ap- bearing in concert at Long Beach, was the daughter of relative who had come from Dalmatia at the same time that MT. Jelich did many years ago. Adolph Mitrovich had gone to Texas, and Pete Jelich had sought the gold fields of AL aska and the Yukon.
 Tn advertisements in the papers announcing the concert of the Dolores Mitrovich Ballet Company MT. Jelich recognized the name of his old friend, wrote to the young artist and discovered that she was his daughter. Her reply, however, brought the sad news that her father had died two years before in San Antonio. 70
 Receives Photograph
 Since their correspondence began, MT. Jelich has received several let ters from Miss Mitrovich and re- gently a lovely photograph of her, inscribed to her friend with "Dal- matian cordiality."
 Though Dolores Mitrovich was born in San Antonio, Texas. she received most of her education abroad. AS a child, she studied under masters of the ballet in Italy, and when only thirteen, made her debut as prima ballerina at the Royal San Carlo Opera House in Naples. At La Scala, Milan, La Fsnice, Venice. the Royal Opera House of Turin, Carlo F'elice The atre in Genoa and other theatres where only artists are seen or heard, her success continued.
 AttalnS success
 One of her outstanding successes was her sojourn in Egypt, where she appeared as prina ballerina with the Italian Grand Opera at Cairo. This engagement was under the auspices of King Enlmanual III, of Italy. and the American girl was chosen to appear with this company representing Italian art abroad. While in Cairo, King Faud II, of Egypt, proclaimed her court dancer.
 The picture of this lovely young daughter of his old friend. and her charming letters to him are mak- ing winter days brighter than usua

Amateur Daddy Opening Sunday with Marian
 Nixon Has Romance

Thrills, action, excitement and romance are part of the daily ex- istence of film stars, but now and again story comes along that in termingles these qualities so close ls and So rapidly that even vet eran. player must call upon every faculty at his command to handle the role.
 Such a story is Amateur Dad Gyl" Warner Baxter's latest Fox picture opening tomorrow at the Coliseum Theatre. During it's filming, Baxter was called upon to perform no less than eight dra- matic episodes, each of which was attended with extreme personal danger, M a
 First, as a construction engineer Baxter is seen in an accident which sweeps him from a steel girder high above the floor of a mountain canyon.
 Following the accident, in which his best friend is killed, Baxter goes to the little town of Scotch Valley, in California, to care for the orphaned children of his friend. There he finds their little ranch the object of a despicable neigh bor's ayarice, and his arrival leads inevitably to a fight in which he demonstrates his fistic ability.
 The neighbor then stirs up mob hatred against Baxter that ends with a masked group of infuriated neighbors taking Baxter to near py field where they tie him to a tree and proceed to horsewhip him.
 This brings on the tense dra- matic climax of the picture, which includes a stirring court battle and d shooting affray in which Baxter is involved.
 Marian Nixon is featured in the leading feminine role. The large supporting cast includes Frankie Durro. Jean Breslaw. Gail Korn- field, Joe Hachey, Rita LaRoy, Lu-' cille Powers, Selmer Jackson, Will liam Pawley and Clarence Wilson.
