FAVORITES ONSCREEN Characters of "Sklppy" Back Here This Week-End In "Sooky" Delightful Picture "Sklppy" and "Sooky," those wistful pals of shantytown, who have been here already in "Sklppy." arc back ugaln at the Capitol Theatre this week-end In "Sooky," and are quite as delightful in this second picture as they were In the first. The tow-hended Jackie Cooper and the whimsical brunette Robert Coogan have won a place In the hearts of moviegoers In Prince Rupert as well as at all other places where the pair have been seen. "Sooky,'- like "Sklppy," Is alternately full of childish heartache and happiness, optimism and courage. Nor are young Cooper and Coo gan the only members of the original cast of "Sklppy" to project their characterizations in the new experiences of "Sooky." Wlllard Robertson, Enid Bennett, Helen Jerome Eddy, Guy Oliver and that little pest, Jackie Searl, renew the parts wliich they created. Pathos and humor are discreetly mixed In "Sooky" and the picture, Is entirely delightful. j iasr.wra' I BALL IS ! I ENJOYED Annual Affair Last Night of C. N.

OUTLET IS ADVOCATED Effective .Method to Stimulate Business in Canada VANCOUVER, Feb. :-'Defla-tion has gone too far in Canada.' declared George E. McCrossan. K. C, addressing the Canada Day banquet of the Native Sons of Canada, honoring the first anniversary of the passing of the Statute of Westminster. It is time the Dominion government applied a corrective by issuing about $25,000,000 of paper money which could be used in some great constructive enterprise such as completing the Peace River Railway to the Pacific Coast, he contended. The gold standard was out of date, said Mr. McCrossan. A currency backed by the resources of all the nations with no metallic base was needed to serve the billions of dollars of world commerce now transacted. He expressed amazement that statesmen and economists had not long ago evolved a practical basis for a managed paper currency, which could be controlled through the Bank of International Settlements. In Canada the effective way to stimulate business was by such a great undertaking as the Peace River outlet paid for with a new Issue of currency, Mr. McCrosam urged. Givei rotltlcal Freedom Dealing with the anniversary of the Statute of Westminster, Mr. McCrossan said it gave Canada complete political Independence, the appeal to the Privy Council being left as a question which the Canadian Parliament could deal with. Future amendments to the constitution were for Canada to decide and he pointed out that Premier Bennett had announced his Intention of calling a conference representing the Dominion and the pio-vlnces to deal with this question.
