The big premier of Nome’s win
ter season, the staging of "The
Pollies Nevelle,” presented and
directed by Lora Thornhill Jack
eon. wife of the well known pres
ident of t'he Miners and Merchants
Bank at Nome. G. R. Jackson,
the funds to be distributed to the
benefit of Eagle ftall Commission,
look place last Saturday evening
at the Eagle Theatre. The wea
ther was mild, and the theatre
agreeably heated for the occasion,
which added greatly to the draw
ing of the populace. Big time ex
ploitation and publicity before-hand
brought out the greatest crowd
of the season to witness the re
markable performance by the
children of Nome, in a variety
program of dance, music and
characterization, well fitted to any
stage on the big time circuits.
• Through the efforts of numer
ous people, scenes,, lighting, cos
tumes, etc.; were supplied and
f provided for the show, which
passed off without a hitch and in
the most professional style. The
entire first act of the "Follies,”
consisting of “The Toy Shop,” in
cluded a cast of 25 who carried
their parts out to perfection. The
"'tlmflffe.'' URhcingf tttb Wttle speech#*
and especially the expression and
emotion displayed by the various
actors surprised the large aud
ience, and testified to the ability
of the director in shaping and or
ganizing such a portrayal.
The call of the show, issued by
the two Pages, Bobble Rynning
and Bobbie Beck, dressed for all
m he world like two of the "King’s”
buglers, started the big show and
then opening number was under
way.
With Kenneth Stangroom, as the
t vivacious "Puck,'’ and the Fairies,
who included the charming young
bodies. Misses Margaret Scott, Lu
cile Lomen. Margaret Erven, Mar
guerite Lee. .Phyllis Crooks, Jane
Jones. Phyllis Robinson, the first
scene consisted of a dance of the
Fairies with Puck as the center?
exhorting them In their dance and
oongs. Through the persuasive in*
ftuence of PWk** high hilarity, the
Fairies Were Induced to Ipok for
the spirit of fun and happiness.
Immediately Puck led them to j»
Toy. Shop, were, in the next scene
was shown the many varieties of
dolls, representing different na
tions on the globe. Little could be
i done until the dolls were awaken
ed to play with the Fairiee. But
' then, to the delight of everyone,
life wae endowed to them all, and
they gave such a masterful exhi
bition of realiBtlc dolls and clowns
that It .brought the house down.
The entire company pranced,.
danced end sang tneir way inru
, their individual and composite
parts to special musical scores,
. ;v with the smooth experience of pro
j feesionals. With Puck occupying
the center and outstanding charac
ter who introduced each entertain
er tlhe show continued. Jacka^ln
the-tbox, Charles and Harry Lewis,
«uted as expert foils for the sharp
humor pf Kenneth Stangroom and
each act was accompanied by
broadsides of laughter as each new
performer stepped forward. The
litas paper doll. Helen Hartford,
stopped Into her daaee and, dis
played fine acting ability. The
little Beg DoU, Connie AUyn, ca
■ ---
sorted to her great .pl««wr« god
the oonfuBion of the re*t of the
aoWttfcriiBtll ehe Mi frteep trtm
sheer a*hau*tloa.. Ttoe 3 French
Dolls, Rtffca O’Leary and Geraldine
Rule, looking far all the same
like twin sisters, gave a little,
dance In true dolly form. The
Japanese Dolls, Jean Lomea and
Marianne Misti, enacted a sprite
little Japanese skit which was re
ceived with much applause.
Tlhe two Dutch dolls. Elizabeth
Rude and Anne Lomen, put on a
little Dutch scene of spirited and
original character and hopped back
to their places in the shop. The
Frogs had a little comedy of their
ow,n Which seemed to be enticing
and humorous to all. The per
formance of the Soldiers, Richard
Braafladt, Milton O’Farrell and
Alden Erven, depicted the. youth
ful turn of mind of all children,
to have tin soldiers to general
The two tiny Indian Dolls, Joan
Hellerich ‘and Dorothy Hartford,
drew the dolls performance to an
end with an Indian dance taken
from the fables. The whole com
pany then formed in the fore
giound and to the accompaniment
of music,, sang a grand finale at"
| the close of which all the little
: dolls resumed their places, while
;dhe Fairies made haste to leave
the shop by midnight. Of out-,
standing * character in the Toy
Shop was the lullaby song sung by
Jane Jones, one of the Fairies,
I to the Little Hag Doll. Connie
Allyn. Her voice was sweet, and
t
i full of emotion' and tenderness
1 and it was not to be marvelled at
tha< the little child could be sent
to dream land. The audience
showed their appreciation of this
song by giving her a burst of ap
plause.
Each little child in the show dis
puted that indispenslble eburt'ciei
iof confidence as they w at thru
th-lr par:. It was a ,n ».M.?
;tv> amthtra and fathers as we'as
to their director, Mrs. Jackson, the
manner in which the Toy Shop
was presented. And as for the
Fairies, everyone of them were too
beautiful to exist on earth; they
appeared heaven seat and all of
the girls are charming young lad
ies known and admired by every
one in Nome. The littler stellar roles
ithruout the play were nicely tak
en care of and showed from time
to time the interest and pleasure
in the creation of this- fine show.
It wag noticeable as the little
kiddies finished their parts how
they flocked out of the wings to
he able to enjoy the rest of the
show, and how they all appeaJed
to their instructor and guide.
Mrs. Jackson, for the. small bits
of praise and well wishes, which
she had for them. They did
piarvelously and there is no doubt
they will remember for many a
day their big stage experience at
the Eagle Theater in “The Fol
lies Novelle.”
A unique color scheme lighted
the Toy Shop with many different
hues. Lights were provided for
•the shop by the Metro-Goldwyn
Mayer company mining tub Es

and scenes, and the actors were
covered by many beautiful color
shades ad the show "progressed,
and in every way, the production
was very nicely handled. „

consisting of separate acts and
solo numbers, was staged. A Span
