Action was apparently the goal ot
the author and director of "Mrs.
Jarr tand the Beauty Treatment”
which will he the first of five reels
of screen fun at the Empress to
night.
There is plenty of action in the
picture, likewise the four to follow,
namely: "Dud Visits the Zoo,” "Fa
ble of the Search for Climate,”
“Stage Money” and “The Girl at No
lan’s.”
All five are interesting little feat
ures, well presented and provide a
very pleasing and restful entertain
ment for Saturday night motion pic
ture fans.
"Stage Money” should prove at
tractive for the youngsters, as "Lit
tle Bobby" tells how it all happened.
"The Fable of the Search for
Climate,” written by George Ade,
America’s greatest humorist, is a
scream all to itself. But, there are
five shows in one offered at the Em
press this, Saturday, evening.
For Surday and Monday evenings.
July 23 and 24, "Via Wireless,” a
play of intense interest and one
which has made a wonderful hit
wherever it has been shown, will
be featured at the Empress.
The play has to do with Marsh,
a draughtsman in the gun factory of
John Durant, who is swindled by
Edward Pinkey, Durant’s general
manager, out of the huge royalty to
be paid should a gun of Marsh’s in
vention prove a success. Pinkey
loves Frances, Durant’s daughter,
but is outrivaled by Lieut. Somers,
U. S. N. Somers has invented a gun
which he gives to be cast to the Du
rant Iron Works, and which, if suc
cessful, will do Pinkey out of his
expected graft on the Marsh inven
tion. Pinkey takes good care that
Somers’ gun is "killed” in making.
He then misrepresents Somers to
Frances and her father, and though
Frances loves the lieutenant, she
feels that she must give him up.
Accompanied by her mother and
Pinkey, she goes in the Durant
yacht for a cruise. The boat hits a
mine, and in the rush to leave her,
Frances is trapped in the wireless
room. She sends out the S. O. S.
signal taught her by Lieut. Somers.
The lieutenant, aboard a U. S. cruis
er, arrives at the side of the doomed
ship just in time to make a sensa
tional rescue.

SPENT Ml YEARS
wm
IN BACK: HILLS
The following article clippe<l from
the Fairbanks News-Miner reports an
instance of two trappers and pros
pectors having been away from civili
zation for two years and while this is
not an uncommon thing in Alaska it
clears up the suspicions in regard to
; the reported death of one of the par
ties, Stephen Foster, who is a well
known miner and prospector and who
has many acquaintances in Anchor
age:
After an absence of two years in
the Lake Minchumina and Mt. Mc
Kinley districts, Stephen Foster and
Walter Ames are back in Fairbanks
once more. During their long ab
■ sence they saw but very few white
| people; and, in fact, for the first 14
months they rever laid eyes on any
one but an Indian, and only a few of
them.
One of the interesting facts on
their trip, and showing how far they
were removed from civilization, was
the fact that they did not hear of the
war in Europe until March, 1916, or
eight months after it had started. It
was by the merest accident that they
learned of it. Mr. Foster was visit
ing at Tleda, where he met a couple
of prospectors. Casually one of the
partners remarked something about a
battle. Mr. Foster, at once curious,
asked what battle, and for the first
time learned of the great struggle
and gained what meagre information
the trappers had.
While in the Lake Minchumina dis
I trict they did some trapping and
hunting.
Foster Reported Dead.
During his absence Mr. Foster was
reported dead at one time and a dep
uty marshal was sent out in search of
him. The official learned from the
Indians, however, that he was safe
and did not continue the search. In
the papers of the interior, including
I those of Fairbanks, Ruby and Idit
arod, there appeared articles telling
of the reported murder of Mr. Foster.
While he was not killed, he did
have a very narrow escape, as it hap
pened. He had gone to one of his
outlying cabins, about 60 miles from
his headquarters, having been advised
that his cache had been robbed. Sure
enough, it had been cleaned out com
pletely. As he started back for home,
during the month of January, and
while the weather was bitterly cold,
he had but one white fish, no blankets,
lo axe and was poorly equipped to
weather a storm. After starting out
he lost the trail and after wandering
for five days, during which he lived
on a little hot water and the white
fish, he finally got into his own camp.
He expects to spend several weeks
in Fairbanks, after which he will re
turn to the Minchumina district.
