 Comedy Will Be
 Shown by Guild
Midsummer Nights Dream Presentation at Coliseum
 Sponsored by Trinity

Midsummer Nights Dream" the Max Reinhardt production of Shakespeare's comedy, will be shown in Juneau at the Coliseum theatre sponsored by Trinity Ca- thedral Guild.
 The dates set for the Juneau pre- sentation of the famous picture are April 18 and 19 And, if enough school children are interested in seeing Shakespeare in the movies to make a Sunday matinee practi- cable, an afternoon showing will be arranged for the 18th.
 Few pictures have ever received more rave" notices than those ac- corded Midsummer Nights Dream. y
 The most exquisitely beautiful picture ever made" said one critic. Another said the film is a perfect artistic union of beauty, sound, spectacle and huinor," and third that it is inspired entertainment for the classes and the masses"
 In the cast, many of them strange in their Shakespearian roles, are James Cagney, Joe E. Brown, Anita Oliva de Havilland, Mickey Rooney, Richard Powell, Hugh Her bert, Frank McHugh and many oth- CTS of equal note
 Trinity Guild members are pleas ed that in their venture into show business they can present the War ner Brothers production of Shakes peare's famous play, and apprec- late very much the efforts of c. B. Beale, manager of the Capital and Coliseum in arranging the local for them.

Building with an entrance on Seven
teenth street, In the rooms formerly
occupied by Hartman g. Keech.
Mr.. A. Conger Goodyear, president

ing. So far some 80 cities throughout

ration of the Washington Gallery.
Tea was served on the terrace prior
to the talk and lovlier sight could
not be imagined. Growing along the
edge of the stone terrace is a pro-
fusion OF tulips and beyond the
fresh green lawn leads to a wood which
gives the impression that one Is far,
far away from the busy city.

discarded. Washington is looking

The MICS rigid rule against broadcast
ing recorded programs was broken Friday,
May 7, for the first time in the 1O-year
history of the company in order to give
listeners one of the most dramatic broad

an announcer at Lakehurst at the exact
moment the Hindenburg blew up.
Herbert Morrison, at WIS, in Chicago,
was announcer at the field at Lakehurst
to make a recording of the arrival of the
Zeppelin Thursday, and was describing
the approach of the airship into his re-
cording microphone when the explosion
came. His complete description of the
whole scene was automatically transcribed
by the recording apparatus.
NBC executives heard the transcription
and because of its dramatic content de-
cided to break company policy. The

Transfers UNION
HOLDS BIG PARTY
Members and Wives Attend De
lightful Entertainment.

The Butte Transfers Union put on
a big entertainment for members and
their wives and families at the
Transfers hall April oath. This was
the biggest entertainment ever put
on by this organization.
The first entertainer on the pro-
gram was a colored tap dancer who
entertains with Harkins orchestra.
This entertainment was enjoyed very
much by members and their fami-
lies. The next was the president of
the Transfers Union, Max Weber,
who is a well known singer. The
Transfers had the honor of having
as a visitor James Cox, business
agent of the Billings Teamsters, ac-
companied with his wife and three
daughters.
COx's Daughters Perform
Brother Cox's girls, Lii
liam, Helen and Katherine are ex-
pert singers and dancers and their
entertainment was very much ap-
preciated by the members of Local
No. 2. At this time Paul Erler, who
is no stranger to the Transfers I'M
Mon, entertained with two recita-
tons followed by John Williams, an
expert on the bones. Brother Fitz
LEM entertained with a song. The
entertainment lasted about two and
one-half hours. By this time, the
crowd wanted to dance. They start
ed dancing at 1890 and did not emo
until two in the morning. At Least
200 brothers, their wives and fami-
lies attended the dance and enter
tainment.
The executive board appreciates
very much the cakes donated by the
members wives and the turn out o.
the brothers.
1t is hoped in the future to hole
at least two of these entertainment
a year as the members then are
given an opportunity to become ac
quainted with one another and thei
families. We also wish to thank al
Of the entertainers for their willing
ness to appear before the organiza
ton.

Gentlemen:
1t has been brought to our atten-
ton, that since September 10, 1886,
that the Gallatin Valley Milling
Company, of Belgrade, Montana,
have not been putting out certain
brands of flour, namely, Harvest
Blossom, Kitchen Craft, and Golden
Heart, that were advertised in the
Montana Labor News, under date of
April 10, 1887, as being unfair
brands. Therefore we wish to cor
rect this statement on these three
brands, as we have since learned
they are union made.
We understand that these three
brands are manufactured under the
firm name of Famous Flours, Inc.
