Theodore J. Kastman, M. D., of
Boston, was one of the 33 round trip
passengers on board the steamer
Alameda who came ashore at An
chorage. Mr. Eastman says most of
the party remained on board, as
there were no provisions made by
the ship company to land them and
that there was considerable dissatis
faction expressed on this account, as
Anchorage was really the drawing
card of the excursion. Coming from
the hub of culture Dr. Eastman was
very much delighted with the city
and was only sorry that he did not
have time to more thoroughly Inves
tigate conditions and become better
acquainted with the people. He was
astonished that such development
could take place in so short a time
and was very favorably impressed
with the progressive spirit displayed
by the Anchorage people. However,
he did say that the Anchorage Cham
ber of Commerce should go into the
matter of getting the tourists ashore
and take it up at once with the
steamship companies and that the
tourists on board the steamer Ala
meda were much disappointed in not
being allowed to land and visit
the city.

BEAUTIFUL MOVIE
Elaborate preparations and pains
taking work on details marked the
opening of the Empress theatre last
Monday night.
Scenes of beauty, comfortable sur- j
roundings and the inimitable Billy
Burke were the pronounced inviting
features, and they satisfied the most
critical.
To the observing, the interior dec
orations appealed strongly. The
steady indirect reflected light sus
pended from the center of the edi
fice disclosed charming figures and
characters in delicate colors, har
moniously blending, that framed a
picture pleasing to behold. This
called forth unstinted praise and sin
cere admiration.
Immediately on entering the the
atre one is impressed that there is
real, genuine, sterling worth, coupled
to the unmistakable sincerity com
ing from conscientious endeavor and
lofty aspiration on the part of the
promoter. Just before the operator
in his secluded surroundings in the
balcony began his important part of
the show. Rev. James L. McBride ap
peared on the stage and in a few
well chosen words told of the amaz
ing rapidty in which the theatre was
built, its purpose, etc. Also, why
dean sport and motion pictures
should be encouraged. He finished
his remarks by telling a very humor
ous story which all enjoyed. Long,
loud and continued calls for Captain
Lathrop followed. The captain ap
peared, and the applause that greet
ed him was of that deafening char
acter that follows the prison scene
in “II Trovatore” in which Caruso
and Farrar are the principals. Bow
ing his acknowledgments, the cap
tain said: “I thank you from the
bottom of my heart.” But these few
words spoke volumes. Then the
show was on.
Mrs. C. E. Richmond, pianiste,
clanship In her Interpretation of the
fleeting pictures. Before the screen
action began she delighted the large
audience with many musical num
bers. Her reading of Kevin’s "The
Rosary” added greatly to its melodic
charm. Taking it all in all, the open
ing of the Empress, with its fault- i
less equipment, offered but the be
ginning of what Captain Lathrop has
in store, and patrons may look for
ward in pleasant anticipation to the
last word in film art. The theatre
decidedly is an acquisition to An
chorage, and cannot but add distinc
tion to this growing city, demanding
superior, clean-cut motion pictures.
