FIVE REEL BLUEBIRD
AT COLISEUM SUNDAY
The San Francisco earthquake am
fire has been translated to thi
screen as the climaxing incident o
a series of sensational events to bi
witnessed at the Coliseum tomorrov
night, on the occasion of the pre
sentation of the Bluebird feature
“Hell Morgan’s Girl.” In this stir
ring five-reel melodrama, beautifu
and talented Dorothy Phillips wil
play the leading role, supported b;
William Stowell as the hero am
Lon Chaney as the villian in th<
story.
Miss Phillips impersonates thi
queen of “Sailor’s Rest,” a notoriou:
resort on the famous Barbary Coast
in the days before the “quake.” Hei
hand is contested by Sleter Noble
a conniving politician, when Rogei
Curwell, gentleman and artist throwi
by drink and dissapation onto th<
shores of the “coast,” finds favoi
in Lolo Morgan’s eyes, and finally
wins her love. It is in the transi
tion of Lola and Roger to an equal
ity in high ideals that makes th<
picture remarkable in its purpose
Out of the slums of Frisco, driver
to the Presido for refuge, come Loh
and Roger transfigured by love, t<
enter upon a new life. The climar
is most realistic.
The usual Sunday prices will pre
vail, fifty cents for general admis
sion and a quarter extra for re
served seats. The show will star
at 8:30. John C. Murphy will ad
dress the audience for four minute:
during the last intermission, 01
topics of the war.
This feature will not be repeated
as it must be returned to the coas
immediately.
NOTICE
There will be the usual meetini
of the Nenana Commercial club a
3 o’clock Sunday afternoon, Feb
ruary 10, in Mr. Bum’s office.

Arrangements have been practi
l cally completed for the big dance
' and social evening to be held by
| the Nenana Igloo of pioneers on
. 1 the evening of Lincoln’s birthday,
> I February 12. Labor Union hall has
1 | been secured for the occasion and
* i a new musical feature will be intro
duced in the shape of bass and
snare drums together with symbals
’ triangle and other traps which have
been especially imported from the
upper town for the dance. These
’ instruments are part of the equip
ment used by Tommy King, of the
Fairbanks band, and Nenanaites can
be assured that with these drums
and the piano and violin, that a
musical treat will be enjoyed, such
as has not not been equalled here
for some time. The orchestra will

1 music. The hall will be decorated
Pioneer style, and several new fea
I ture dances will be run, such as
“candle light” waltzes, etc. A light

evening and after midnight a con
j tinual buffet service will be run on
the lower floor with plenty to eat

order that all may avail themselves
. of an opportunity to enjoy a musi
cal evening even if they do not
desire to dance.

ing.

I THRIFT STAMPS GOING FAST
G. F. Cramer, special disbursing
agent for the Alaskan Engineering
commission, who was recently ap
pointed chairman of the Nenana dis
trict in the matter of Thrift stamps
' and War Saving certificates, reports
that the public are investing their
money in these stamps in such a
1 manner that he is unable to get them
down from Farbanks fast enough to
’ supply the demand. These stamps
' which were selling for $4.12 during
the month of January, have now in
creased in value to $4.13, and will
increase each month in the year.
• The war savings stamps have a
; maturity value of $5, payable in
■ 1923, which is the equivalent of 4
per cent compound interest. The
idea in placing government certifi
■ cates on the market in such small
denominatons is to gather up all the
I small change that may be in the city,
I especially the savings of children
or others who are not able to invest
in Lberty bonds. In fact, the war
savings certificates are called “Baby
1 Liberty bonds.” The Thrift stamps
r are going rapidly among the child
ren in Nenana, several of the young
sters being heavy investors in a
small way. Postmaster Love has
charge if the selling of all Thrift
stamps and is getting many quarters
and dollars that have been locked
up in toy banks for a long time, and
which are now going into the United
, States treasury to draw a heavy in
terest and help win the war.
