LAST YEARS MINERAL YIELD
 TOPS TWENTY FOUR MILLIONS


 According to preliminary stat ement of the Geological Survey, United States de- partment of the Int eri or the minerals pro- duce6 from Alaska mines during 1889 had an estimat ed value of $24 ,s88, 1000. This amount brings the total value of the miner al output of Alaska since 1880 to more than $500 1000, ,ooo.
 As compared with 1888 there is a de- crease in 1889 of $3,7oo, 1000 in tho total production of minerals. But the record for 1888 was exceedingly high and none of the big copper mines were operating during 1889 which in 1888 produced copper to the value of $3,ooo,ooo.
 The gold produced from Alaska mines in 1889 is estimated worth $22, 300, ,ooo. This value is greater than for any other year in the hi cry of mining in Alaska with last year as the one exception. Last year's output was $27o, 1000 greater than this years.
 The production of platinum in 1889 was less than in 1888, the total approximate 1y 25, 300 fine ounces, valued at $936 1000. In spite of the decrease, the 1889 produc- tion places Ala ska among the half dozen largest plat mum producing count ries of the world. The greater part of Ala ska 8 platinum comes from the Goodnews region near the mouth of the Kuskokwim. The con tinued large output of platinum from the mines of Alaska goes far toward making the United States independent of foreign sup ply. In comput ing the value of the pro- duction for 1889 the average price for the compo site material was tentatively assumed to be $37 an ounce.
 Tn 1889 the proportion of gold produced from lode deposits and from placer is esti mated to be about 68 to 32, or SIS, ,556 1000 from placers and $7, ,344 1000 from lodes Tho the combined total amount of gold from these sources was about the same in 1889 as in 1888, the proportion differs, the gold produced from 1odes in 1889 being worth about $929, 1000 less than 1888 and that from p1acers about $659, 1000 more.
 Of the gold won from p1acers, the most was recovered by dredges, of which there were A in operation in various parts of Alaska during 1889. This number does not include one dredge in the Goo news distric of the Kuskokwim region which was engaged in mining placer platinum metals.
 Other minerals contributing to the 1889 output were silver, coal ,leed, tin, 1ime- rock, antimony and copper.

Our welcome there sincere and hearty, complete with snow and cold weather and most generous Santa Claus. When eastward bound, we drove the South lsrn route, at times only few miles from lthe Mexico border. We visited Mrs. Lucy tRogers, Mrs. Naples and Eunice Ade11e at IDening, New Mex.

never has appeared to better sdvan-
tage than in the role of the shop
owner. Joseph Schildkraut is thoro-
ughly dislikable as the rascally
clerk who has an affair with the
wife of his kindly boss. Felix Bres-
sart. who provided SO many laughs
in the role of the lanky Russian
Commissar in ''Ninotchka, is the
timid clerk, afraid of the boss, the
butcher, and the doctor. Also effec-
tive in supporting roles are Sara
Haden, William Tracy, Inez Court
ney Sarah Edwards and Edwin
Maxwell.
The film is a pleasant departure
from the usual film epic. 1t is as
real as life, favored with honest
truth. AS the likeable employer
and his interesting employees move
in and out of the picture, they give
it life, warmth, suspense, comedy
and romance, which makes for en-
tertainment at its best.
Zane Grey's knights of the
Range" co-features the program.
Russell Hayden and Jean Parker
head the impressive cast of this
thriller.

tage of the Strands new low prices.

G grown-up Deana Durbin made
it seven straight hits when her new
est film Its A Date" opened be-
fore enthusiastic audiences this
afternoon at the popular Warner
Bros. State Theater.
In many ways the new produce
ton is the stars best picture. 1t
has the most colorful setting
Hawaii-in which Deanna has ever
appeared. Its comedy rates with the
funniest ever screened and its ro-
nance is as poignant as the most
successful hit-makers in Hollywood
can produce.
The music with Deanna singing
four numbers is again outstanding.
One of the stars finest support
ing casts shares credit for her latest
triumph. Kay Francis, as Deanna's
mother, a famous and glamourouS
actress, returns to high favor with
an excellent performance and Wal
ter Pidgeon, as romantic interest for
both Deanna and Kay, has perhaps
the most successful role of his career.
The story begins on Broadway,
moves speedily to Maine, and finally
to Hawaii. Deanna and Miss Fran
els are offered the same stage role
by producer, part Deanna tries
to refuse, when she learns her
mother wants to play it. Pretending
love for Pidgeon and saying she will
give up her career" Deanna sets out
in pursuit of the hapless Pidgeon,
whose love for the mother is secretly
returned. Who gets the role and who
gets the man is unfolded in a sur
prising and suitable finish to one
of the years most entertaining pic
lures.
Lewis Howard stands out as
Deanna's boy-friend; Eugene PAIL
cite has another great comedy role
as the governor of Hawaii; Samuel
S. Kinds, Cecilia Lotus, Fritz Field
and Henry Stephenson are also out
standing in support.
Harry Owens and his famous
Royal Hawaiians contribute to the
musical film, which is the most sue
cessful blend of popular and clas-
steal music of any Deanna Durbin
picture.
Deanna sings "Loch Lomond;"
Maria" and one popular number,
Love Is ALL" The latter is stamped
as hit, while Deanna's rendition
of the difficult classics is again phe-
nomenal.
On the same program is another
in the exciting adventures of Simon
Templar, 1.-THE Saints Double
Trouble" with George Sanders in the
leading role.
All in all here is show that
should be right on top of everyone's
must" list. Remember it positively
ends its engagement Saturday eve
ming.

STRAND

A grand mid-week show at new
low prices opened a four day ell
gagement at the popular Warner
Bros. Strand theater this afternoon
with 1.-The Shop Around the Cor
ner" as the headliner of the giant
twin bill
Sharing starring honors are Mar
garet SULLIVAN and James Stewart,
this marking their third picture to-
gether. 1t is a pleasure to see Miss
SULLIVAN back on the screen again,
and this most charming and talen-
ted of actresses is perfectly teamed
with Stewart who makes the most
of another fine acting opportunity
to compare with his great perfor-
nance in "Mr. Smith Goes to Wash
ington."
They are clerks in a little Buda-
pest leather goods and novelty shop,
both seeking romance. They look
for it outside of their own small
world quarreling constantly, and
then discover that they are quarrel
ing because they are in love.
Sharing the laurels with the stars
is a flawless cast. Frank Morgan

Hollywood-Any visitor who can
crash the rehearsal hall at 20th-Fox
these days may witness the never
to-be-forgotten spectacle of over
stuffed Jack Oakie and Timber
legged, lanky Charlotte Green
wood practicing dance numbers.
AS they didn't say back in vaude-
vile days, that pair can really 1--WE

The sturdy Oakie, of course,
used to be a hoofer, but the mar
vel now is that he can fit from
bow to bow with such agility.
Miss Greenwood, at 46, is as pc
culiarly hinged as she was quar-
ter century ago when she liked to
smooth her black hair with her
right foot while waroling, II
Dreamt I Dwelt in Mar-ur-ble
Halls" But she never danced like
this.
She never danced at all in pic
lures although this is her third
campaign since she tried the
silent muggies in 1918. While she
was just comedienne, they
wouldn't let her be funny. Later,
having been acclaimed as an &C
tress, they wouldn't let her act.
Today, thanks to the perspicasity
of Daryl Zanuck, she's doing
r-erything. And loving it. In
this picture, THE Young People"
she plays the vaudevital mother
of Shirley Temple and appears in
everything from Eaby clothes to
hula costume.
FIRST HIT STAGE
AS CHORUS GIRL
Miss Greenwood is such a favorite
OF the London theater that many
of us have thought of her as an
English actress. She's no such thing.
Her father was a Philadelphia bar

American woman who began 10 sup

child was 1. Poverty wasn't the
only reason Charlotte couldn't dress
attractively. At the age of II she
was feet 8 inches tall and was
no more streamlined than The au-

pensating gift of nature, hut by
strange set of circumstances, in
