MOVIE ACTORS
HERE TO STAGE
ALASKA FILMS
Op his eleventh pilgrimage to the
territory, George Edward Lewis, fam
iliarly known as “Alaska Blacklocks,”
writer, preacher, trapper, miner and
lecturer, is here today on his way to
Kenai peninsula, where he will spend
a couple of weeks and then return
to Cordova for a short stay.
This time Mr. Lewis is accompanied
by Mme. De La Plate of Los Angeles,
Gladys Johnson, an actress and musi
cian; Myrtle Johnson, a singer, and
Raymon K. Johnson, a cameraman, all
of Portland, who will join other play
ers in Alaska as the cast of a five
reel film which Lewis says will be the
first all-Alaska motion picture yet to
be photographed in the territory. Mr.
Lewis, who plays the role of a sour
dough, is himself producing the pic
ture, which will depict a drama in
connection with Alaska scenery. He
will lecture with the film before the
schools and various institutions in the
east when the production is completed
this year.
“A motion picture of all Alaska,
with a drama to heighten interest,' has
been the ambition of my life, for it is
to be exhibited in schools, churches,
and colleges. Our first scenes will
be made at Lake Atlin and White
Horse Rapids, after which we will
proceed to the Coast and thence as far
as Nenana in the interior. Fiftten
Alaska towns will be visited and Mt.
McKinley is one of the scenic attrac
tions of the territory to be filmed.”
IN INTERIOR
—
i I
To hunt game along the head
waters of the White River with a mov
ing picture camera is the plan of Dr.
W. N. Beach and Geo. McM. Godfrey,
New York sportsman who arrived in
Cordova on the steamship Alaska and
left this afternoon for the interior.
They go to McCarthy, from where they
will leave for the head of the White
river. They will take with them a
pack train, guides, a moving picture
camera, several thousand feet of film
and several still cameras. It is their
intention to take action and still pic
tures of all kinds of wild game in
the White river country, conceded to
be the greatest habitate of game in
the world. They expect to get good
pictures of mountain goat, sheep and
bears. If they see any heads that
would make good trophies they will
use their rifles, but the prime object
of their trip will .be to take pictures
of game.
Following the White river down to
its mouth they will strike the Yukon
river and in the Fall will come back
to the coast by way of Whitehorse and
the White Pass railway.
Both gentlemen are experienced big
game hunters who have shot with the
camera and rifle in all parts of the
world.
