Opening Night
Drew Full House
Manager Ray E. McDonald and the
principals of the Harmony theatre are
greatly pleased with the patronage
and reception accorded the new thea
tre on the opening night. Moreover
the Sunday night program drew well
and the launching of the Harmony
theatre in the theatre world of An
chorage more than met with their ex
pectations. The Harmony showed to
two crowded houses Saturday night,
over 800 people. The many expres
sions heard by the patrons were ex
tremely favorable and taking Satur
day and Sunday night’s productions
as a criterion the success of the Har
mony is assured.
The clearness and steadiness of the
projection was noticeable and this
important feature of moving pictures
is from the result of the expensive
lenses used by the management; also
the smoothness of the lighting system
deserves comment and the lights are
practically free from the ordinary
flicker.
Mr. McDonald says that he expects
to have a new method of showing pic
tures that will eradicate any future
break in the program that is caused
now by a misunderstanding in a pre
vious order.
J. Louis Tuerke, connected with the \
post office department with headquar- i
ters at Spokane, is making Anchorage :

been spending the past few weeks in

likes the country so well that he may
decide to stay in this winter.
