ART NELSON IS OUT OF DANCER
Victim of Poisonous Mus sels Is Able to Leave
 Hospital for Home

Art Nelson, who has been serious ly i'll in St. Ann's Hospital since Sunday as the result of eating poisonous mussels, is pronounced out of danger by his physician and left the hospital last night to complete his recuperation at his home.
 MT. Nelson expressed his deep appreciation to Capt. Chris Eilamd- CT, of the Ionic. who answered the distress signals of the stricken party and took the gasboat in which they were bound for Juneau in tow. It was the quick thinking of Capt. Eilamder in taking the boat into Thane and telephonlng the ambulance from there, that prevented Art Nelson's death, as 6 delay of another half an hour in lreaching medical aid, would have proved fatal, according to pr. Nc Auliffe who attended Art Nelson his mother, Mrs. Gus Nelson and
 his sister-in-law, Mrs. Verne Nelson upon their arrival at the hospital Verne Nelson succumbed on the way up Gastineau Channel a few hours after he had eaten the lmusSelS

In Capitol's Picture

"Whoopee," which came to the
Capitol theatre last night, is one Of
those pictures which give the public
Its moneys worth In almost any d.
rection you want to think OF. Hilar-
ious comedy from such experts as Ed
die Cantor, the star, and Ethel Shut
ia, tuneful songs Of every variety,
beautiful girls galore as only Ziegfeld
can pick them, an affecting love story,
and general air OF satisfying lavish
ness make it q picture in . million.
Samuel Goldwyn has here shown
that the talking color screen can out
do the stage whenever II wants to
take the trouble. "Whoopee" Is q rich
treat Of q sort which Is seldom seen.
The story. taken from Owen Davis
famous farce THE Nervous Wreck"
Is concerned with the adventures OF
an imaginary invalid on . western
ranch who finds himself called on to
rescue the ranchman's daughter from
an unwelcome marriage. After turn
ing he-man and doing 4 satisfactory
Job Of getting her married to her real
love, he finds himself in the hands Of
the domineering nurse who wants to
marry him; but he has been anything
but IN invalid for . few days and re-
fused to think himself one any long
er.
This plot, with Eddie Cantor as the
imaginary invalid. offers million
opportunities, none Of which are miss-
ed. Both IN comedy and In spectacle,
Of which the Invocation to the Sun
scene at the end Is the most striking,
"Whoopee" leaves nothing to be de-.
sired.

Nriangle Features
Kay Francis Film

One Of the strangest stories Of a
triangular love affair Is told in the
Warner Bros. picture Mary Stevens
ND" which comes to the Paramount
Theatre on Thursday. The triangle
involves Kay Francis, the star, Lyle
Talbot and Thelma Todd.
A boy and girl, playmates from
childhood, study medical surgery to-
gether, pass their apprenticeship as
1nternes in the same hospital and
set up practice In adjoining offices,
their friendship ripening into love.
The ambition OF the man, however,
sees an opportunity In a marriage
with the daughter Of powerful
politician. So the childhood sweet
heart steps aside, although she con-
loves with q mothering instinct.
It Is not until the man gets en-
tangled In domestic scandal and fin
ancial entanglements that cause his
indictment, that she goes to him
and gives him her love.
Kay FAnciS Is said to give q strong
performance as the woman doctor
whose love for "her man" is enduring
even when he turns from her love to
another, while Thelma Todd gives a
fine portrayal pf the selfish spoiled
women TO whom love Is but q fitting
passion.
Lyle Talbot. as the doctor lover, has
the finest role Of his career opposite
Mis- francis and II said to live up to
the promise he has shown In Ill prev
10us picture work.

Senator Dill introduced a reso

"There are many reasons why
telephone rates should have

The telephone companies have
installed the dial system, so al
most everybody who uses a tele-
phone must be his own teIe-
phone operator. Reports show
that 80 per cent of telephones in
this country are dial telephones.
That cuts down expenses.
"The telephone companies

and cut the wages of those they
didn't drop. That cut off some
more expenses. By means of
certain inventions, they now
