i;
William H. Thompson, for man>
years one of the most noted star;
on the legitimate stage, and Anna
Lehr, an actress of charm and at
tractiveness, will make their appear
ance at the Coliseum tomorrow night
in “Civilizaton’s Child”, a powerful
Thos. H. Ince production, presented
by the Triangle people, with an all
star Triangle cast.
The story is one of the gripping
sort, with many tense situations
which give the leading characters op
portunity to show their ability. The
scenes are laid in Russia and Amer
ica. Miss Lehr takes the part of s
girl who has seen her relatives mur
dered in a massacre of Jews by £
Russian mob, with the Czar’s Cos
sacks permitting the slaughter. The
child comes to America, where the
weak and defenseless, she has beer
informd, are protected.
The girl goes to work in her uncle’s
sweatshop in New York, and eventu
ally falls into the hands of a politi
cal boss who gives protection to the
uncle, in his violation of the labor
laws.
The usual feature prices will pre
vail, fifty cents for general admis
sion and seventy-five cents for re
served seats. The show will starl
at 8:30.
AN APPRECIATION
Sergeant Lewis Smith, on behali
of the detachment of Company E
14th Infantry under his command
and himself; desires to extend hearty
thanks to the Nenana Labor union
the management of the Coliseum
and the members of the Nenana clut
for the courtesies extended to th«
boys in khaki. He states that every
man of them deeply appreciate the
consideration shown them by the
people of Nenana, making their stay
here a pleasant one and long to be
remembered.
CONTRACTOR HAS
ABANDONED WORK
10 AMR CALI
L. A. White Comes into Town From
Lignite Coal Property to
Examined.
—
1 Mr. L. A. White, who with his
partner Neal Van Houten, was
awarded a contract for the supply
of a quantity of coal for the use
of the locomotives and for other pur
poses, arrived in town last night,
principally in response to a request
made by the Local Board that he
present himself for medical examina
tion, preparatory to being drafted
into the army. Mr. White expects to
be sent along with the other Ne
nana registrants to the military post
at Fort Gibbon for training, and so
deemed it advisable to relinquish his
part of the contract with the Alas
kan Engineering commission.
The vein of coal which was tapped
by Messrs Van Houten & White is
about thirty feet thick, and is con
sidered one of the finest veins of
coal in the Lignite country. It is
situated on the left limit of Lignite
creek, about a mile from its mouth,
and approximately 11 miles from the
bunker at Residency 4 (43-mile),
where the coal mined is to be de
livered in terms of the contract. The
contractors were handicapped from
the very outset, principally by ad
verse weather conditions, and, as
Mr. White says, “have had a hard
time all the way through.” But in
spite of all their attendant bad luck,
they were able to fulfill their con
tract ere hauling on the river ice
was rendered no longer possible.
Lignite creek has broken up, ac
cording to John Popovich, who has
had his camp on the bank of this
stream for many years, and Neal
Van Houten, Mr. White’s partner,
was getting ready to break up camp
and come into town, at the time he
left for Nenana, so it is expected
that he will be here in a day or two
for settlement.
FOR NEXT FRIDAY
I
As a proper preparation for the
spring breakup, also to fortify the
citizens of Nenana against any and
all forms of liver complaint for at
least six months, a company of men
now residing in this vicinage will
present a variety program in the
Coliseum next Friday evening. This
will be a really BIG program. It
will have a wide range, and will in
I troduce to this locality certain ac
complished talent which Nenana has
not before realized she possesses.
Interspersing the presentations of;
this talent, the Coliseum manage
ment will run a number of single
reels of the latest and best. Three
fourths of the proceeds will go to
; the “Piano and Painting Fund” of
■ Grace church, and the other fourth
• will go to the Coliseum management
! for the use of their theater and for
J other services rendered.
Watch for the posters and ads
i next week, for particulars. *
The Koland stage, which was
scheduled to leave Fairbanks on the
return trip to Nenana last night,
will not get away from the upper
town until tonight. The stage will
have a large consignment of mail
for Nenanaites.
An N. C. mail stage reached Fair
banks this morning from the coast,
the mail shipment consisting of four
teen sacks of first class matter and
eight sacks of second clalfs., The
consignment weighed eight hundred
pounds.
Grace church offers a specially
interesting program for tomorrow
evening. Mrs. Abbey will render a
selection of rare beauty. The themes
were sent in to Dr. Diven and will
receive lucid and fair treatment. -
