RHODE REPORTS BISON IN EXCELLENT SHAPE;
 FEEDING UNNECESSARY

Making special aerial check on the condition of the Buffalo herd in the area about an hundred miles southeast of Fairbanks, yes- terday, Clarence Rhode, assistant executive officer of the Alaska Game Commission, accompanied by U. s. Commissioner at Fort Yu- kon, Irving Reed and Dick Per kins, counted 19 Bison, all appar- ently in fine condition, and saw sign of many others.
 MT. Perkins, who was mem Der of the party, was in charge of the crews that originally brought the animals to Alaska from Mon tana, and has been deeply inter ested in the welfare of the bison herd ever since.
 Yesterdays flight was to determ- inc whether the deep snows that have covered the animals feeding grounds this winter might have made feeding of them necessary, but all fears as to their welfare were allayed by the fine shape of the animals sighted.
 On the flight, the party also counted 40 moose, likewise in ex- cellent condition, also three coy- otes. The buffalo herd, which was started by the shipment of a few animals to that section in 1928, has now developed into herd well over an hundred, according to the latest census.
 In his wireless here to Frank Du- fresne, executive officer of the commission, MT. Rhode stated that he was to fly today from Fort Yu- kon to McGrath. After few days in that section, he will continue south to Anchorage in time for the approaching Fur Rendezvous there.

White Angel Enacts Lesson in Modern History on
 Capitol Screen

Maritime activities and political intrigues of the Pacific Coast ship ping capital provide the vital back ground against which is enacted the gripping story of Frisco Water ! frons,n which is at the Coliseum Theatre, with Ben Lyon, Helen Twelvetrees and Rod LaRocque in the leading roles.
 Frisco Waterfront" is the story of a man who rises from stevedore to Governor, and then finds on the eve of his election that he was aided most by the two people he hated most.
 Ben Lyon plays the Governor elect, and lis interesting career is told in the medium of retrospect He lends tho part one of his finest portrayals, and is ally abetted by Miss Twelyetrecs and Rod La Rocque.
 The supporting cast is also of uniform merit Among those who must be mentioned for their indi- vidual performances are Russell Hopton, Barbara Pepper, James Burke, Henry Bolker, Purnell Pratt and Norman Houston.
 The lives of great men and wo- men are more and mere becoming a subject of motion picture pro- duction in Hollywood Certainly, il IS true, that entertainment and bio graphy can go hand in hand. Such a film as Warner Bros. The Story of Louis Pasteur," for example, has shown that the movie portrayal ot a famous character can indeed be as educational as it is thrilling.
 Final proof of Hollywood's ex- cellence in the field of screen bio graphy can be seen in First Ma tionals production of The White Angel starring Kay Francis in the role of the immortal Florence Nightingale. The picture is now playing at the Capitol Theatre. We all know how Florence Night ingale unselfishly devoted her whole life to bettering the condition oi the Victorian h hospitals; how through her ceaseless struggle she demonstrated the need for nurses training schools; how her final victory finally became the victory of all womankind.
