GREAT PICTURE
TO BE SHOWN IN
NENANA SOON
Historical Picture, with Special Ap
propriate Music Will Be Shown
At Coliseum Theater.
“The Birth of a Nation”, D. W.
Griffith’s massive spectacle, coming
to the Colisuem theater August 29,
31 and Sept. 2, is the largest and most
important production of a decade,
: yet not a word is spoken throughout
the performance of nearly three
hours.
Music supplies the absence of
speech, mechanical effects and real
. ism, whilst the wizard of the screen,
! David VV. Griffith, unfolds in 12,000
feet of film the thrilling romance
' of the War between the States and
the Reconstruction of the South
: land. Some idea of its magnitude
j may be had from the fact that
I 18,000 actors and 3,000 horses took
part and that the staging of this
great “outdoor” drama cost half a
million dollars.
Several of the actors are of
Southern lineage. Henry Walthall,
who plays the heroic role of the
little Confederate colonel, is a mem
ber of the well-known Walthall fam
ily of Alabama. Miriam Cooper,
who appears as Margaret Cameron;
is a direct descendent of Charles
Carroll, the Maryland signer of the
Declaration of Independence. Mr.
Griffith is the son of the brigadier
general of the Confederate army.
For every character, however small
Mr. Griffith has found just the per
sonality needed. After that his
masterly direction made each one
give a perfect charcterization of the
widely varying roles. The result
was not acting, but life itself. Such
realism is never seen on the old
fashioned stage. The limitations
of the theater were swept away for
Nature was Mr. Griffith’s stage.
Panormama after panorama is re
vealed to the astonished eyes of the
spectator. The most inventive im
agination could hardly picture to it
self such scenes of splendor
BOARD WILL DISPOSE
OF NOELLER PROPERTY
Board of Public Works and Charities
to Assist Widow of Drowned
Man.
The board of public works and
charities, which is composed of rep
resentatives of the various fra
ternal organizations in Nenana. have
taken up the case of Mrs. Noeller,
whose husband was recently drowned
while crossing Lost Slough, with a
view of rendering all possible aid
to her.
They have made arrangements to
raffle off the Noeller home, and
tickets are now on sale at $5 each
for this purpose.
It is to be hoped that all who can
will purchase a ticket and thereby
help the unfortunate lady to make
the journey to the States with her
young children.
WOODBURY ABBEY MADE
CADASTRAL ENGINEER;
On the last incoming mail, Wood
bury Abbey, who is in charge of
the Public Land Surveys in this dis
trict, received notification from
headquarters at Washington, D. C.,
that he has been promoted to the
rank of cadastral engineer.
This promotion goes into effect
as from the first day of July. Mr.
Abbey will continue in this district
until the Public Land Surveys have
been completed as planned, and will
probably leave on one of the last j
boats for the States. He has made ■
application for appointment to com- j
missioned rank in regiment of ■
engineers now in course of forma
tion, and expects to be able to take
the physical and mental tests in
the near future.

fact that war tax tickets can be pur

minal Cigar Store and the Portland ;
Cigar Store.
It will save time and delay at'
the box office if you purchase your

big shows.

cent war tax tickets for one general
admission, which will be $1; and
three five-cent war tax tickets for
a reserved seat, which is $1.50.
Reserved seats may be engaged
at any time for either one of the

more money in Seattle than here
