Kay Francis Wears 36 Out fits in Film Opening
 Tonight, Capitol

Th.rty-six changes of S u m e form the amazing wardrobe re- quired by Kay Francis in the stel- lar role in The House on 56th Street. her most recent Warner Bros. picture, which comes to, the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 This is not only a record for Miss Francis, but is high water mark for the studio.
 Opening in the first years of the present century, the drama comes to a climax in 1883. Thus Miss Francis wardrobe constitutes a panoramic review of what Amer ican women have worn for three decades. In fact, complete cycle is established, since the gowns the star wears in the final sequences of the picture bear a striking re- semblance to those of thirty years before.
 The story is that of beautiful and popular chorus girl who weds millionaire New York clubman and is Realistically happy until she innocently becomes involved in the death of her former lover. Re- leased from prison, she becomes a blackjack dealer in the very house she had occupied as a bride. The smashing climax comes when she saves her own daughter, who doesn't know her, from a scandal similar to her own.

ARTISTS SCORE : SUCCESS WITH
 FIRST CONCERT
Ellen Keep, Willis Novel; Given Great Ovation at
 Appearance Last Night

From the opening number, "On- bra Mai Flu" by Handel, sung oy Ellen Keep, with violin ooil2aeo' played by willis NowelL the two artisss held the large, audience at the Presbyterian Church last ev- ening in a timsless world Of mu- .ic until ''Berceuse" lullaby from Jocelyno by Goddard, the conclud- ing selection on the program, also sung by Miss Keep with violin obligato.
 That the evening was fully ap- preciated was indicated by the enthusiasm and warm h of the ovation accorded both Miss, Keep and MT. Novel; upon each appear ance and upon the conclusion Of each number, Miss Keep charms not only with the beauty of her magnificent contralto voice, but with the grace and poise of her stage presence. Those who have heard her during her previous visits to Juneau and noted the improvement and development in her unusual voice predict that it will not be long before she will be heard in grand opera.
 We'll Executed
 Though Miss Keep executed ev- cry number extraordinarily well, she was perhaps at her best in "Ombra Mai Flu" the first selec- ton of the evening, and Mon Occur Souvre A Ia Voix" (from Samson and Delila) and "Berceuse' the concluding numbers, which were wonderfully well done and in which the tone quality and volume of her wonderful contral- to voice were given full oppor- tunity for expression. 'Dank, Sci Dir" by Handel, sung with an or gan accompaniment, deserves par ticular mention as it, perhaps more than any other selection, re- vealed the beauty and timber of her voice, with which the organ harmonized perfectly Other sell ections which might be chosen from the varied program for men ton are, Like Blossoms Dew Freshened to Gladness," AS Fair as Day in Blaze of Noon" and "Oh Stay My Love-" by Rach- maninoff; "L'ombra di Carmen, :" Tirindelli and the two Norwegian numbers, "Mor Min Lille Nor" and Mot Kveld,' Backer-G -Gron- dehl, both included by request as was Song on the Range" which received enthusiastic applause!
 In Rare Form
 Willis Novel;, who gave two solo groups as well as playing obligato for three of Miss Keeps selections, was in rare form and played with exquisite perfection. In beautiful Hungarian Rhapso- die" M. Mauser, he held the au- dience spellbound with the delic- acy of his touch and sure mastery of the difficult technique and there was moment of silence be- fore those listening burst into deaf

Following his first group, "Andante,s Mendelssohn Hungarian Dance" Brahms Joachim and "Elfentanz," Topper Carl Halir, the ovation was great and he was allowed to leave the platform with reluctance. Each time MT. Novel; plays in public, both his old and new friends real ize that they hear him all too seldom.
 Excellent Program
 The program given by the two artists was one of rare excellence, and covered a wide range of the masters among whom both were perfectly at home. It was greatly varied and each selection was mas terfully interpreted. Miss Keep gowned in delicate green which entrusted delightfully."- with her titan hair, wound in a coropet about her head, had gracious dignity upon the stage and an in- nate dramatic instinct which will do much to procure for her the opera career which seems inev- itable.
 Beautifully Accompanied
 Mrs Carol Beery Davis accom- paAied both Miss Keep and MT. Novel; throughout the evening, playing both simple and difficult compositions with a sympathetic and sure touch which added greatly to the complete success of the evening. That those who were present last evening fully apprec- lated the event, rare in Juneau, was obvious not only from the friendly warmth of their response, but from comments heard follow ing the concert in which many ex- pressed their intention of attend ing the second concert to be given this evening with complete change of program, which fol- lows:

THE ROUNDUP

EEw people think of the horse as farm re-
l. lief measure Yet that is what he is. OF
all domestic animals the horse and the deg are
the only ultimate consumers aside from man
himself. Hogs and cattle merely are walking
meat and milk factories. Their consumption
Of food depends largely upon the price OF
steaks, pork and dairy products. The average
dog, of course lives on table scraps.
The farmers, then, suffered a permanent
loss when the automobile replaced one, of
their largest eustomers-the horse. Now the
Indiana Saddle Horse Association is promoting
a return Of the horse. Its members feel that
this state is an ideal place for the development
OF all of the fascinating sports connected with
Workmanship.
They are giving their second big annual
roundup at Gregg farms on North Meridian
street on Sunday. 1t will be a great show.
Don't miss it. and as you watch it remember
that the horse can be very real factor in the
whole recovery program.

WORTH THE MONEY

CRITICS of the subsistence homesteads ex-
~ pertinent at Reedsville, w. Va, have been
answered by the First Lady.
There have been errors at Reedsville, Mrs.
Roosevelt admitted. but no bungling The
government, she said, deliberately expert
mented at this first project so that later prof.
ects located elsewhere might profit by the
mistakes of the first. 1t would have been
cheaper to build all of the houses alike, but
many types we're built in order to learn which
were most successful. Various types of plumb
ing, identification and household equipment
were tried
Cost of the Reedsvle experiments will be
borne, not by individual homesteaders, but by
the government as a justihable expenditure
for laboratory purposes. Efficient private cor
porations. Mrs. Roosevelt said, make annual
budgetary provision for research So why
shouldn't the government?
The men and women in the federal sub
s.stence homesteads division are trying to do
what many intelligent industrialists long have
advocated but what private industry itself
never has been bold enough to attempt on a
satisfactory scale. They are trying to make
it possible for wage earners to own decent
homes on small plots Of land where they can
raise part of their food supply, improve their
living standards and fortify themselves
against the uncertainties of our economic
system. The government is trying to inject
new vigor into the economic life of stranded
populations, to provide means of livelihood
for the human cast-offs of industry.
Like Reedsville, the sixty-odd other projects
under way or approved, in a measure, are also
experiments, Eventually private capital will
have TO finish the job. Honest mistakes Of
trial and error need not be feared ir this
government pioneering.
The real dangers inherent in this under
taking are the dangers common tc all enter
prises subject to the pressure Of politics.

too busy to amuse ourselves with romping
singing dancing and other simple relaxations
common to the old world Although we have
spent billions on movies, stadiums radios, golf
courses and similar advertisements, we have
yet to learn how really to enjoy the shining
hours Of the new leisure"
There is hope in such meetings as the
Twentieth National Recreation Congress being
held in Washington this week. Here leaders
from all over the country are exchanging
ideas, learning of exciting projects in the
Requirement Of time. Most of the speakers
dwell on the wholesome pleasures of the open
air, expansion of our great forest mansions.

If play is to be something more than filling
up time it can become a truly civilizng pro-
cess. The people can invite their souls as well
as their bodies to the out-of-doors, learn to
play together, advance to the Greek ideal Of
artistic and creative enjoyment.

than it is to center our wrath on society as
a whole.
You get an illustration of this in a para
graph in recent issue of Advance" the ma
tional weekly of the Congregational and
Christian churches
In this magazine a correspondent suggests
that the church too often fails to make its
criticism of current ills specific. Why, he
asks, should not the church put aside its fine
statements of general principles and come out,
for instance, in open denunciation of a vestry-
man who hires girls in his factory for $40
week?
And the editor of the magazine suggests
that this question is not quite as simple as it
looks.
There are circumstances" he remarks,
where the employer and the manufacturer
are the victims of competitive system quite
as much as the worker.
1T is one thing to demand that Mr.. x,
veStryman, should pay his employees living
wage. 1t is another thing to enable him to
do so against the competition of INSCRIPTIONS
employers who have no ideals, either decently
pagan or Christian, in their business enter
prises"
Now this point, it seems to us, is worth en-
phasizing.
1t is too easy to forget that under any COM
petitive system all players are bound by the
general rules of the game. These rules, the
pressure of competition being what it is, fire.
quently lead to bad conditions.
Our respected vestryman may indeed pay
his employees less than living wage-but all
too often his sole alternative is to go out of
business altogether in which case his en-
ployes would get no wages whatever.
In such case it is worse than useless to get
vexed at Mr.. x. If We are going to insist that
even the humblest worker is entitled to a iv-
ing wage our proper point of attack is the
system which makes low wages necessary-not
the individual through whom the system must
operate.

REAL REGISTRATION
Think it over.

7 EFT it be hoped that the citizens of Marion
- county vote as ably as they registered.
Many things will depend on the outcome Of
the election. Sufficient votes in the Demo-
cratic columns in the city race will continue
the type of government that has been success
full under Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan.
Continuation of this will wipe out the
threat of George V. Coffin, Republican polit-
ical boss, as portrayed in his candidate for
mayor, Walter Pritchsrd. former city judge.
Enthusiastic voting the Democratic party
also will save the state of Indiana from rep
resentation" in Washington by Senator Arthur
r. Robinson. Sherman Minton is the man
for the poSt-not Robinson. Until that
change is fulfilled, the people of Indiana will
have failed their task TO a nation.
If 255,OOO Marion county residents have
enough interest in the political situation to
register, certainly they should have enough
interest to so to the polls Nov. s.

MINTON ANSWERED
ON CONSTITUTION
BY Farmer John

BY Farmer John.
The recent statement by Sherman
Minton, Democratic candidate for
United States senator, that You
can not eat the Constitution" is
true, but I like the reply to that
statement by Doc Sherwood in a
recent speech. He said:
I'VE can not eat the Constitution,
but the millions of persons now
without sufficient food could have
eaten the 100000 pigs that were
.needlessly slaughtered, to say Moth
ing of the many acres Of corn and
wheat that were ploWed under, and
countless other acres that were
never planted because of govern
ment restrictions"
The present high prices of pork,
wheat and corn are the result of
government action and will be the
cause of much suffering during the
coming winter. Had the ConStitu-
ton been strictly adhered to, the
slaughtering Of pigs and blowing
under of grain would never have
taken place. There would be no
shortage of those articles, despite
the drought, and prices would be
within reach of many who are I'M
able to purchase them now.
In view of the things mentioned
above, it might appear that the
Constitution is a rather valuable
and useful document after all.

MONEY GONE BEGGING

ONE of the oldest bits of news to come out
~ of Washington in a long time is the rev.
eation that matured government securities to
the value of at least 100000 are being held
by various forgetful citizens, who seem to have
overlooked completely the fact that Uncle Sam
owes them money.
Some of these bonds date back to the first
government security issue, which came out be-
fore 1900 and matured more than century
ago. Others represent unredeemed Liberty
loan bonds and war savings certificates. Their
holders are entitled to cash thenl-and the
money is waiting for them-but somehow they
don't seem to do it.
You doubtless would get some interesting
stories, if you ran down handful of these
unredeemed bonds. Certainly the whole thing
is an unusual sidelight on the absent minded
ness of stable number of Americans.

combination look like kinder
garten. That same brain trust, by
the way, caused Daniel to be thrown
into the den of lions.
President Roosevelt and the brain
trusters are wrong in assuming that
nations existing in ancient times
were ignorant and should not be re-
ferred to as examples for the pres
ent administration.
Many intelligent nations and
races existed thousands of years
ago. In the period in the history
of Athens dating from AS to Adj,
B. c., the people we're so we'll edu-
Gated and so highly intelligent that
every citizen was qualified to hold
public Office. For that reason no
elections were held and all public
officers, save a few in the army and
navy, were selected by lot. 1t is
claimed that the average intelli-
gence of the citizens Of Athens at
that time equalled that Of the Brit
ish house of commons today.
Had the New Dealers referred to
history instead of the Literary Di-
gest, they might have profited by
the experience of others and would
have averted the mistakes that have
already cost taxpayers many billions
of dollars.

MUNICIPAL OWNER SHIP
BENEFITS ENUMERATED

By Earl c. Townsend.
In recent issue Of The Times,
S. E. Test takes issue with an article
contributed by John F. White, and
apparently attempts TO convey the
impression that municipal owner
ship of electric plants is a failure
inasmuch as the United States cen
sus reports show that 396 municipal
plants went out of business during
the five-year period from 1927 to
1892.
The same report also states that
during the same period $40 private
ly owned plants also went out of
commission and the per cent of mu-
nicipally owned plants increased
from 507 to 523.
According TO the same authority
the per cent Of municipality owned
plants increased from 40.6 in 1922
to 52.3 in 1882. Moreover, the popu-
lation served by municipal plants
increased IA per cent and the ca
pacity of the plants increased As
per cent during the same period.
