Base Ball Boys
Are Home Again
Manager Fred Tracy, of the Faith
ful Few and the All-Anchorage base
ball team, returned from Seward on
the Farragut at 3 o’clock this morn
ing and came ashore at the first op
portunity.
They came not as- the conquering
heroes of fiction nor did they carry
the mien of the defeated but they as
sumed the same gentlemanly, sports
manlike manner that has character
ized the entire trip, which proves con
clusively that this aggrgation of ball
players is thoroughly imbued with the
fundamental spirit of sportsmanship
which insists that anyone can win but
that it takes a gentleman to lose.
Beaten but not disgraced; clean, as
clean as a whistle they returned and
while the city brass band did not
meet them at the dock nor did maids
of the city strew flowers in their path,
but the entire city of Anchorage has
| nothing but praise for the team that
; represented this city in the Seward
| series and voiced the war cry of the
, team “Revenge, sweet revenge, on La
bor Day!”
If Seward stands hitched the return
| series will be played in this city com
; mencing September 4th and the fans
I of Anchorage will have an opportuni
ty of witnessing their team in action.
But possibly never in the history of
Alaska will the opportunity come
again to witness three such games as
were played in Seward during the re
cent series.
| Anchorage lost the series, one game
to two for Seward; each game was
j closely contested as the scores will in
i dicate. First game went to Seward 4
to 2, second to Anchorage 5 to 3 and
the final game determining the win
ner of the series they lost 3 to 2.
A summary of the trip will appear
in tomorrow’s paper and the entire
citizenship of Anchorage joins with
The Daily Times in welcoming the All
Anchorage baseball team back home
and wants them to know that to a
man city is behind them from now on
until the last man is out in the, ninth
inning of the final game.
MARY PICKFORD IN
“SUCH A LITTLE QUEEN”
For sheer charm of story, quaint
ness and daintiness of the central
character, honest sentiment ami im
pressive truths, “Such a Little Queen”
is one of the gems of the current era
of plays. Mary Pickford, as the little
] queen, makes one of the best impres
I sions of her brilliant career. There is
something indescribably appealing in
;the personality she portrays; she has.
dignity and grace, gentleness of man
ner, charm and winsomeness, and she
contrasts most effectively the moods
identified with a situation in which
disappointment and despair must be
concealed under a pretense of cheer
fulness and courage.
The play deals with kings and
queens of toy kingdoms and the tri
als which beset them in both the hard
field of politics and the imaginative
realm of romance. Anna Victoria,
Queen of Herzegovina, exiled by rea
sons of political dissension, finds ref
uge in America. Stephen, the Debon
air, king of Bosnia, has also been de
throned, and also comes to America.
As may be suspected, they are deeply
in love, and their troubles spring from
the political exigency which forbids
their marriage. Both are penniless
and Anna drifts into a small flat in
Harlem, while King Stephen goes to
' a cheap hotel. The deposed queen,
seen in the kitchen of the flat, peeling
potatoes, cooking chops, exploring the
ice-box and learning the tricks of the
dumb-waiter, provides many of the
humorous moments of the film.
Of course, there can only be one re
sult of the pressure of poverty. Both
the king and queen are forced to go
to work. Anna becomes a translator;
Stephen a clerk. Their employer is
Adolph Lauman, a millionaire meat
packer, who represents the American
idea of the uselessness of thrones and
- all such regal nonsense. He takes par
, ticular pains to announce to the world
that business alone counts with him;
but before long his point of view
changes—he is willing to compromise.
I He believes his daughter has aspira
tions to shine in European society,
and he conceives the notion of marry
ing her to the king, and then using
his dollars and his hard-headed Amer
ican business methods to win back the
: kingdom of Bosnia for Stephen. The
situation is both comic and pathetic,
but Lauman’s intentions are halted
because the king is faithful to Anna
and moreover, the daughter is in love
with a young American.
Anna returns from her stuffy Har
lem flat to the gamour of a throne;
Stephen is called back to Bosnia, and
we are left with the promise that the
sound of wedding bells will soon make
the two little kingdoms one.
The true spirit of romance perme
ates the delightful play, which may
be characterized as little of the ten
derness and sweetness of life put into
dramatic expression. 8-17-lt
