TO tell the story Of American
capitalism from the Civil War
to the beginning of the present cen
tury in terms Of its leading spirits
is no mean task and Matthew
Josephson does it ably and with un-
usually clear perception Of the in
terplay OF social and economic
forces.
Josephson has perceived his limi-
stions and has remained within
them to great advantage. Neither
romantic apologist nor an agrees
sive muckraker, he has confined
himself to selecting significant ma
terial from existing sources and
presenting it in its proper historical
perspective.
Speaking in his foreword of the
Robber Barons Astor, Vanderbilt,
Cooke, Fisk and the others, Joseph
son says:
These men more or less know
ingly played the leading roles in an
age Of industrial revolution. Even
their quarrels, intrigues and misad-
ventures (too often treated as
merely diverting or picturesoue). are
part of the mechanism of our his
tory But Josephson has no illu-
sions. He is not overawed by the
personal grandeur and the economic
power Of the Robber Barons. For,
he says;
ITO organize and exploit the re-
sources Of a nation upon gigantic
scale, to regiment its farmers and
workers into harmonious corps of
producers, and to do this only in
the name Of an uncontrolled sp-
petite for private prof1t--here surely
is the great inherent contradiction
whence so much disaster, outrage
and misery has flowed"
In pursuing the respective and
related histories of the Robber
Bsrons, Josephson reveals clearly
that the development Of America S
industrial civilization was purely
incidental to the colossal grabbing
contests.
THE book is full of significantly
emphasized information n
aStute comment on the cultural
and moral forces which glorified
individual rapacity as a natural
concomitant of the early bour-
geois virtues of thrift, orderliness
and sobriety.
It becomes apparent, from read
ing the book, for instance, that

tions, but that direct bribery and

IMPROVED TYPE OF SCREEN IS INSTALLED
 IN LOCAL THEATRE

In accordance with its policy to porvide all that is new and up-to- date for the Juneau theatre going public. the Capitol Theatre has just completed installation of a new Da-Tone sound screen, it was announced today by Manager Cliff Daigler.
 The screen is a new development in sound screens and is so con- structed that it reflects a soft brilliant picture and entirely elim- mates eye strain from any angle, Manager Daigler said
 With the advent of sound pie lures an entirely new type of screen was found necessary and the Capi- tol's installation is the latest de- Velopment in this field. The screen measures IA by IS feet and con- tains no seams, being woven on a loom of this size. Thousands of perforations are made in the cloth to allow undistorted sound to reach the audience. The surface is coat ed several times with a combina- tion of silver and gold bronze and is so applied that it leaves a sur- face clear and free of brush marks.

TWENTY YEARS IN HOLLY YWOOD
 SLIM'S RECORD
Lanky Comedian Has Made Name as Director Be-
 sides Being Actor

Stars may come and stars may go, but Slim Summerville, co-star- red in Universal's "Love, Honor and Oh, Baby!" closing tonight at the Capitol theatre, keeps on mak- ing the customers laugh, and thus is becoming Hollywood institu- ton.
 Slim, who rambled into Holly wood two decades ago, without acting experience, got himself a job as an extra at five dollars a day, and has been going ever since. It is hard to realize that he not only has been before the cameras but behind them for he in turn has made quite name for him. self as director.
 However, during his first few years his face and figure were discovered" and producers wouldn't let him direct for long periods at a time, although his technique was excellent. His first screen work was one in 1913, after he had bummed his way across half the country and had fallen in with a Los Angeles boxer who made money in his spare time with extra work. His first roles were with Mack Sennett. He was given a uniform and told to be one of the Key stone Cops, which brought a laugh because he looked no more like a cop that Jack Dempsey looks like a dress designer.
 Later he was a featured come dian. Then he was promoted to a dictatorship He directed comedies for Sennett, Fox and Universal. Entering the field of feature pro- auctions when he decided that he wanted to act again he was out standing in Universals "All Quiet on the Western Front" Established as star, he now holds a long term contract at Universal City.

The Girl in 4l9" Opens Tonight at Coliseum
 with James Dunn

Motion picture stories are often suggested by newspapers headlines.
 But B. P. Schulberg, leading pro- ducer, has enjoyed the experience of seeing newspaper headlines par alleling motion picture.
 The picture is "The Girl in 419," romantic drama which comes to the Coliseum Theatre tonight, with James Dunn and Gloria Stuart in leading roles. The film centers around a girl, brought into an emergency hospital badly beaten and unconscious and saved by the head of the hospital, who is in- trigued by her beauty. When she recovers, she begs not to be sent out of the hospital, pleads for pro- lection.
 Schulberg, reading the newspap- CTS one night when "The Girl in 4l9' was nearing completion, found an item telling practically the same story. A gangster's girl, thrown out of speeding car, was taken to a hospital, recovered consciousness and begged the authorities not to release her when she was well again. It meant her life.
 Miss Stuart is "The Girl in 419'' and Dunn is the doctor who ulti- mately StraightenS out her tangled life-and his own Others in the cast are David Manners, Jack La- Rue, Shirley Grey, Johnny Hines and William Harrigan.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE- WITHOUT CALOME And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 1t takes those good, old CAMPERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to geS these two pounds of bile flowing free,y and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent . subsdtute-
