FINANCIAL FRENZY OF 1929
BOOMS AGAIN IN HOLT FILM
The hysterical, money-mad era
that led up to the dreadful Black
Friday in the New York stock mar
ket and provoked as a consequence
a New Deal in the world of finance,
serves as the interesting atmosphere
in which the new Columbia pro
duction “Master of Men" which is
coming Friday to the Dream Theat
re, is projected. ,
The character portrayed by Jack
Holt, star of “Master of Men” a
brawny, industrious and ambitious
steel worker, who through the stock
manipulations of a wealthy indust
rialist using the aggresive mill hand
for a blind, rises to the presidency
nf the mill where previously he
slaved in the inferno-like heat of
the blast furnaces, symbolizes dram
atically the temperament of that per
iod. Preoccupied with his sudden
acquisition of wealth and power he
loses sight of the love of his wife,
neglects his friends and betrays the
trust of his former co-workers un
til the stock market crash restores
him to a more human and more
sensible outlook on life.
Fay Wray, who conclusively dem
onstrated her histrionic ability as
the successful woman barrister in
Ann Carver’s Profession” renounc
es for good, we hope, her succession
of "horror" films and portrays in
"Master of Men” the resourceful
wife of Jack Holt, who ruins her
husband financially to save him from
his own greed.
Walter Connolly is the jovial Sam
Parker, the millionaire Croesus who
finances Holt in his dizzy ascension
to power, and it is said his perform
ance here is every bit as outstand
ing as those he offered in "Bitter Tea
of General Yen,” “Washington Mer
ry-Go-Round”, “Man’s Castle” and
others.
The other principals in the cast
are Theodore Von Eltz debonair and
polished screen actor who is cast as
the contriving Grenaker, Holt’s riv
al in financial matters and in his
amorous adventures, and Berton
Churchill, another veteran of envia
ble reputation in Hollywood who is
seen as Walling president of the steel
firm deposed by Holt.

LOCAL NEWS
Henry Gumm well known Council
mining man, who has been spending
the winter outside, is expected to be
a returning passenger to Nome via
plane about March 20th.
Mrs. Edna Christofferson and Mil
ton Seavey were arrivals in Nome
today from Shelton, from which
place they drove in by dog team,
reporting heavy trail conditions and
plenty of snow and soft weather.
Mrs. Christofferson is drawn as a
member of the petit jury.
The Grand Jury for the March
term of the U. S. District Court, was
sworn in this morning after court
opened at 10:00 am., with twenty
three members.
These recessed until 2:00 pm. and
then went into session to investigate
various matters to be brought be
fore them. Chas. D Jones was ap
pointed foreman.
It has been learned by the Nugget
that the object of Charles Kimball's
return to Nome and vicinity, which
is expected soon by plane, is to place
in operation the Melsing creek
dredge in the Council mining sec
tion. Mr. Kimball formerly operat
ed this dredge several years ago,
but closed down activities due, it is
said, to low grade ground, but now
that the price of gold is high, it is
believed that the property will be
placed in the productive class.
_
Due to the blizzard which came
up early this morning the mail plane
of the Pacific Alaska Airways was
unable to take of! on its return
flight.
A Northern Air Transport plane
scheduled to fly to Ruby to contact
another company plane from Fair
banks, was also unable to get away
this morning.
No matter how worthy a cause the
live business men of Nome are pro
moting or the results obtained, you
will always find a bunch of fault
finders, ready to use their hammers.
There is mention that the Nome
Brass Band will probably practice
in regular session at the Nevada
Hall, next Monday night instead of
at the Fire Hall, due it is reported
to additional members joining and
coming out regular for practice.
The Band, it was further stated,
is getting along fine, and is progress
ing in its music lessons at a rapid
rate. It was rumored during the1
week that a dance may be given in
the near future, the proceeds to bt
turned over to the band for music
and equipment. If the dance is stag
ed, it was reported that the band
would put on some peppy bandy
music during the evening.
