models, in fact that they will be worn
by the first feminine form and feature
of the city.
There will be no picture show at the
Empress tonight, and the theatre will
be in full charge of the ladies of the
Catholic church, who have arranged
for a splendid program of local talent.
The program will be diversified and
each number promises to be a feature.
The performers have spent considera
ble time in practicing and there will
be no unnecessary delays. The cause
in itself is worthy of patronage and
with the additional surety of an excep
tionally fine program the Empress
theatre will no doubt be well filled to
night. Program starts promptly at 8
o’clock.

EXILED DICER
TO BE FEATURE
Several years ago in the land of
fjords and skiis a young gentleman of j
viking heredity danced himself into |
fame and honor before the king and
queen of his country. Endowed by na
ture with the form of an Apollo and
the grace of a gazelle he possibly
danced himself too far into the fam
ished feminine hearts of the court and
became the object of insatiable jeal
ousy. It was a matter of history that
this young man’s prominent family
was banished from the native country
and following in the footsteps of pre
vious exiles came to the land of the
free, where a young man could dance
if he wanted to, or even play baseball.
The sealed records of the court read
“unfavorable to the court jester” and
it was given out in open session that
the family was banished for political
reasons when in fact it was through
the exceptional talent of the elder son
and heir to the coat of arms that the
family was forced to flee to America.
They came and the young man danced;
he danced on the “ sidewalks of New
York his name wasn’t Casey but he
too danced with “ the strawberry
blond he danced at Atlantic City, at
Newport, on the polished floor of the
Alpha Omega frat house at Chicago
university and he finally danced him
self to Anchorage aboard the Admiral
Watson.
Modest and unassuming, it was with
great difficulty that the ladies of the
Catholic church finally persuaded this
supple young Norseman of terpsichor
ean fame, to appear before the An
chorage public at tonight’s entertain
ment at the Empress theatre. Equal
ly as talented, every bit as popular
and far more graceful will be his
partner, whose charm and grace were
handed down from worthy ancestors
who danced to the tune to the piper o’
Donny Brook Fair.
It had to be a man who commences
his name with a “ Me ” or some sim
ilar .starter that brought the first car
load' of Irish potatoes to Anchorage
from the Matanuska valley. Post
Hole Pete McCartin, president and or
iginator of the Alaska Corporation
Ranch company,, arrived in the city
Wednesday seated, as a king upon his
throne, in the midst of a whole carload
of Matanuska spuds. The car con
tained 60 tons of potatoes which Pete
disposed of readily to the Anchorage
merchants and he found the market
so good that he returned for more. .
The potatoes were exceptionally
firm and sound and judging from the
sample peck he gave The Times staff
can take their place with the spuds of
the Yakima valley or any other well
known potato of the states. Pete says
his crop yielded on the average of five
tons to the acre and while he had only 1
a small acreage this season said that
he and partners expect to have 160
acres of land in cultivation next year.

W. Ervin, secretary, requests all

nite arrangements will be made for
the erection of a suitable building for
Masonic purposes.
“THE MAN FROM MEXICO,”
AT THE EMPRESS SUNDAY
Captain Lathrop, whose capacity for
generosity is unlimited, has donated
the Empress theatre for a charitable
purpose this evening, therefore there
will be no motion picture show in this
popular house until tomorrow (Satur
day) evening, when laughs from be
ginning of the fleeting features to
the end, have been arranged unstinted
ly
Sunday and Monday brings to the
Empress John Barrymore in “ The
Man from Mexico,” the famous come
dy of a mythical trip to Mexico, by far
the best photoplay ever presented at
the Empress since it opened its doors
to the public. Press and public de
clared unanimously that Mr. Barry
more is at his best in “ The Man From
Mexico.’ ’ Supported by a cast seldom
if ever assembled, this picturization of
Barrymore’s famous stage-speaking
play is offered the Empress theatre
goers as the best of the season. 10-13
