PLAY PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE
The performance of "My Wife's i
Husband" by the Amateur Dramatic j
club at IClk's hall last night was on
the whole a satisfactory production.
True, some of the players were hardly
adequate to their parts, and the play
itself was tedious in dialogue and
rather too involved In situation, es
pecially in the third act, but In the
main the piece was pleasing and ;
well played.
The great fault of the play Itself
is that its construction is too much
dependent upon exaggerated situations
and too broadly burlesque. There
were many really clever situations
and the main theme was well worked
out. while the lines were laughable
and the parts distinct and well drawn.
With a more spritely and compres
sed comedy and with additional ex
perience the same cast should be
able to present a play that will stand
comparison with that of any profes
sional company seen In Skagway.
This will undoubtedly be done, for
the attendance last night was flatter
ing and proved that the people of
Skagway will support straightforward
dramatic efforts. It Is projiosed to
take new members into the Dramatic
club, to select the best talent by com
petitive tests, and to present more
pretentious pieces from time to time.
Such a plan will be sucessful. for last
night's performance was In the natur
of an experiment and it showed that
good talent exists in Skagway anil
that it will play to appreciative and
lences.
Alec Blanchard easily carried oft
the honors last night in his imperson
ation of "Tragedy .lack." Mr. Blan
chard, who has been seen before by
Skagway audiences, lias the stage
presence and ease of a professional.
His manner Is magnetic and his
work is enhanced by his clear, reson
ant voice. Moreover he acts all the
time ? not in spots as is apt to bo"'
tile cat; ewllli amateurs.
George T. Snow as "E. E. K. Car
ter." the stage struck lawyer, had a
"feeding" part and his work was
somewhat hampered by his having to
do a little stage directing on the sta; *
At times, too, he over emphasized
the burlesque and drew his nionologs
too long. Yet he plays with the ease
of conscious experience and his "bus
iness" is at his fingers' end.
E. J. Kingsbury made the most of
his somewhat exaggerated role as
"Young Sleuth." His best acting was
when he gave the Jack-in-the-box ef
fect from behind the screen In the
first act, and indeed, that was the
cleverest situation In the play, with
the three actors outlining their "plot"
while the thunderstruck husband and
the eager sleuth drank In the hor
rible tale.
Monty Snow played the part of a
typical office boy In a realistic man
ner. although bis slang was somewhat
too profuse, for even office boys
sometimes speak correct English.
Wlllard Hillery might have played
the part of the outraged husband wltbi
more conviction.
Charlie llockett made one brief ap
pearance and acted the lunatic with
the utmost ease and naturalness
just as he should have done.
Miss Ethel Wcste showed showed
to advantage In a pretty Ingenue part.
She has possibilities which will bear
development.
Miss Snow lias an easy stage pres
ence and her part was effective.
Mrs. Hubert Hay ward had a very
difficult part which would have tax
ed a professional to fill. That she
did not prove altogether adequate In
the most dramatic moments is not
surprising.
The musical program by Reed's or
i hestra was one of the best ever
heard in Skagwav and it was certain

DOUBT DISAPPEARS
No One In Alaska Who Has a Bad
Back Can Ignore This Double Proof.
Docs your back ever ache?
Have you suspected your kidneys?
Backache is kidney ache.
With it comes dizzy spells,
Sleppless nights, tired, dull days,
Distressing urinary disorders.

Doan's Kidney Pills bring quick re
I lief,
Bring thorough, lasting cures.
That's what Alaskan sufferers want
Profit then by another's testimony,
Twice-told and well confirmed.
Mrs C. A. McCourt, 253 So. Forti
eth St., Tacoma, Wash., says: "I
have no hesitation in confirming the
public statement I gave some years
I ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills,
:is the cure I received from their use
lias been permanent. I suffered a
great deal from severe pains through
my kidneys. I also lacked energy,
was subject to dizzy spells and was
caused annoyance by a weakness of
my kidneys. When Doan's Kidney
Hills were brought to my attention,
1 I procured a box and a few doses
j nave me suchgreat relief that I con
| tlnued taking them until every svmp
j torn of my trouble was disposed of.
| I cannot say too much in favor of
i Doan's Kidney Pills."
