NEW GOLD RUSH TO NORTH MAY BE LAUNCHED U. S. Survey in Alaska Likely to Reveal Mineral Treasures. By Bcrtppi-Hotcard Xctctpapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 20. A prospecting trip, 1931 model, may uncover new mineral treasures in Alaska and start another romantic gold rush to the land made famous by Rex Beach and Jack London. The trip, announced today'by Secretary Wilbur, is to be conducted under auspices of the United States Geological survey, and is to be financed from a $250,000 appropriation by congress “for continuation of the investigation of mineral and other resources of Alaska,” along the only railroad owned and run by Uncle Sam, the Alaskan Railways. Working from headquarters in Anchorage, the survey will employ native prospectors, work with mining companies and conduct its own researches. Work will begin as -oon as the snows melt. To Test Coal Deposits While one of the main objectives of the search will be to test the extent of deposits in the anthracite ridge coal fields, where veins are known to be more than fifty feet thick, the work also will include search for all sorts of minerals along the railroad route. The days of the “sourdough" are past in ‘Alaska, but dredgers noware busy mopping up the low-grade ore near Nome and Fairbanks. The old Treadwell mine at Juneau, too, is going full blast and running its 12,000 tons of ore a day at profits of from 50 cents to $1 a day a ton. The only other mining project of importance is the great Guggenheim Kennecott Copper Company mine, one of the richest in the world. Alaska has suffered little from the depression. The 30,000 white people among the territory’s 60,000 population have been busy with fishing, fur-trading, mining and logging enterprises. its resources have, however, barely been tapped. Was Called “Seward’s Folly” The Alaskan purchase of 1867 cost the nation $7,200,000. It was considered so wild a speculation that it was called “Seward’s folly.” Since then $1,700,000,000 in furs, minerals, fish and timber have been poured out of Alaska’s treasure-ho Use. This summer Alaska u'ill see many senators and congressmen there either for pleasure or business. A special committee on wild life resources, including Senators Wolcott. Norbeck and Pittman, will sail from Seattle in June, and members of the house appropriations committee, including Representatives Colton, Addison Smith, Leavitt, Wood, Frank Murphy and Hastings, will leave Seattle for Alaska July 11. PROBLEMS OF SMALLER PAPERS ARE DISCUSSED Opening Session of American Publishers Held in New York. By United Press NEW YORK, April 21.—Problems of publishers in towns with less than 100,00 population were the leading topics at the opening session today of the annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association. These problems are anew feature of the yearly gathering of representatives of nearly 500 newspapers in Canada and the United States. The discussion was to include wage and bonus questions, percentage of net profit obtainable, the advisability of entering the news picture field and the desirability of smaller papers imitating metropolitan newspapers. ANOTHER STEVE BRODY Naval Man Jumps From Brooklyn Bridge to Win Bet. By United Press NEW YORK. April 21.—Peter Douglas Verbonus, attached to the naval air station at Lakehurst, N. J„ w’as revealed today as a second Steve Brody. Nonchalantly he climbed to the highest point of the pathway on Brooklyn bridge and dived to the East river many feet below to win a bet with a sailor from the U. S. S. Wyoming. Unlike Brody, his deed was unheralded and no one knew of the leap until it was revealed by companions. PROBATE JUDGE TRIED Misconduct Toward Young Girl, Ward of Court, Charged. By United Press HART, Mich.. April 21.—A new panel was to be called into circuit rourt today in the attempt to select a Jury to try Probate Judge Burton S. Shaw, charged with misconduct toward a young girl, a ward of his court. Judge Shaw is accused of a statutory offense against Mrs. Viola Hilton, 21, three years ago before the girl’s marriage.

MUST BE GREAT TO ! BE PAID FOR LOVING Pajamas Add to the Charm of Frances Dale as Manuela in “The Command to Love M at English’s. BY W’ALTER D. HICKMAN ALWAYS had the thought that it w T ould be grand to be paid to make love to beautiful ladies. That thought landed in the waste basket after seeing what Donald Woods as Gaston, Marquis du Saint Lac, experienced in “The Command to Love.” Poor Gaston was the good looking secretary of the French ambassador at Madrid who was ordered by his superior to make violent and successful love to the wives of other officers in the Spanish government. The women were beautiful and charming but Gaston for months had been as cold as ice. Now he was ordered to turn on the heat—the result

being that Gaston got himself in a lot of tremble with the woman with whom he was carrying on a secret affair. It is still more amusing when the play discloses the fact

that the woman is none other than the wife of the ambassador who commanded Gaston to make com promising love to other women of the court. Os course if this play was not smartly done it would be a mess. The company that Arthur Casey has for it, does beautiful justice to all situations. The fact

Edna Severy

is, it gives Donald Woods as Gaston and Frances Dale as Manuela, the wife of the Spanish war minister, perfect lover roles. These two put over the pajama love scene in good, smart and amusing taste. I saw the New York company do this play a season or two ago and the Casey players are doing wonderfully with this very smart and pointed play. Miss Dale makes a beautiful Manuela clad in a fine gown at a reception or as the little flirt in pajamas in Guy’s own rooms. Donald Woods gives a nice reading of Gaston. He looks the part and he knows just what to avoid in the role. In other words he shows that he is a clever and an intelligent actor. Another fine piece of sustained and smart acting is the work of Will Lloyd as the French ambassador. He has the % poise and the command to look grand. Fine and convincing work. Edna Severy brings her fiery looks and her flashing temperament to the role of Marie-Annee, the wife of the French ambassador, and also the secret sweetie of Gaston. She is a jealous thing. Her gowns are beautiful. Freddie Sherman makes his first appearance as Emile, the love making secretary of Gaston. Although not a big role, Sherman gets tons of comedy and smartness out of it. This is going to catch on in Indianapolis just like he did so successfully for forty weeks in Cincinnati. He has that way about him which makes one a favorite. Dick Elliott does wonders with makeup as the old Spanish war minister who stumbles into the apartment of Gaston while the Marquis had the wife Gs the same Spanish war minister clad only in pajamas. The minister only wanted Guy to use his influence to get the chasity medal award for his wife. The sets are as elaborate and as effective as those I saw in the New York production. Casey has spent money lavishly in equipping this show. “The Command to Love’’ is a mighty smart buy and proves that Casey has a highly intelligent and efficient company. All week at English’s. tt o tt HERE IS A SERIOUS PLAY FOR CONSIDERATION By presenting “Ned McCobb’s Daughter,” a play in three acts by Sidney Howard, the Civic Theater scores another noteworthy triumph. Here is a difficult play to produce from an acting standpoint because the motives cf the play are as conflicting as they are hidden. Think of a casket containing the corpse of Captain Ned McCobb sticking its black head through a door of an adjoining room to the parlor. And all the time, death is present in the casket, his own daughter, her husband and his brother are staging one of the most terrific fights which borders on drama, tragedy and at times hilarious comedy. So it takes at least three good acting people to put over this play as well as skilled direction. And the Civic Theater has given all four to “Ned McCobb’s Daughter.” I wish to go on record stating that Ricca Scott Titus as Carrie Callahan, who is Ned McCobb’s daughter, is giving this week th£ best all round acting that has graced any performance at the Civic since I have been telling you about the plays.

And there have been some excellent performances on that stage, but this woman is giving a performance that probably will be the talk of the season. She brings to the character that needed dumbness, shyness, love for her children and for her crook of a husband as long as there is no other woman. She is magnificent when she discovers that George, her husband, had violated the wedding oath right under her own roof. She also rises wonderfully to the demands when she starts to outwit the bootlegging brother of hsr husband. Here is royal comedy work done behind a somber background —that of a casket in the next room. Albert O. Deluse depicts the fighting spirit of a coward as well as the strength of an animal to protect himself when caught. Fine work. C. C. Robinson gives one of those full blooded interpretations of the bootleg brother of George. “Babe,” his name, is a mighty clever “babe.” Here is acting that you will remember at the Civic. Others in the cast are Robert Murnan, John Holtman, Jesse Pritchett, Margaret Habich, Vernon E. Bronson, George Fothcringham and Hamilton Clarke. Here is a big play done in a big way at the Civic. On view all week. tt tt tt REAL TALENT ON NEW LYRIC BILL Right off the reel, am going to tell you that there is a bunch of fine talent on the vaudeville part of the bill at the Lyric. First, let me call attention to the work of Zelda Stanley. Here is an artist who is more than a mimic. She gets down into the very soul of the famous people of the stage w r hom she impersonates. With the clever adjustment of her hair and the use of the top of a piano she becomes Helen Morgan. Not a suggestion but the completely rounded personality of that famous woman. With the aid of a chair and a monocle, she becomes George Arliss,

voice and walk. With the aid of a pair of white gloves, she becomes Eddie Cantor. And she becomes herself when she does a magnificent interpretation of the song “Ten Cents a Dance.” Here is a rare and a real artist. Victor Pelle is at the piano. Miss Stanley has the world before

Joe Marks

her because she is an artist of the highest ability. It was a surprise to me as I didn’t expect anything half as fine as her performance. The second sensation is the dance revue offering of George Libby. Here is a man that has been in the big revues in the old legitimate days, t Every member of his company is an artist. His bum leg dance is a comedy classic. Well here is easily one of the five best dance offerings of the season. Third, let me call attention to the glorious burlesque and slapstick work of Joe Marks. Here is a showman. He does not have to be dirty and he isn’t. He about works himself into the grave, but he keeps on until he gets the customers cheering and yelling for more. He worked things up until he had to give a curtain speech. In the fourth place, Fulton and Parker have smart comedy delivery as well as smart material. Jean and Lou sing songs, but need some lessons in showmanship in how to put them over. Jack and Betty Cavanaugh manipulate ropes. Pleasing act. The movie is “Three Girls Lost,” with Loretta Young, Joan Marsh and Joyce Compton. Now at the Lyric.
