ON BOARDS SUNDAY
An unusually attractive program has
been arranged by the management of the
Coliseum for tomorrow night. The show

attractions ever offered to the moving
picture public. It is a Yitagraph Lubler
feature.
Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
twice the usual number of reels will be
shown, regular feature prices will pre
vail. general admission fifty cents, and
reserved seats a quarter extra. The show
will start promptly at eight and the pic
ture will not be repeated again in Ne
nana. _

Santa Claus Finds Many
Youngsters Await
ing Him
Eighteen happy-faced youngsters,
ranging from school age down to a very
lew months, gathered at the general of
fice building of the Alaskan Engineering
commission last Sunday afternoon in re
sponse to the invitation of the Riggs Kids
to welcome Santa Claus on his first visit
to the town of Xenana, The number
represented the entire juvenile popula
tion of the town, with the single excep
tion of the little'Tyler baby, who has not
yet attained sufficient age to appear in
public. The attendance of older folks
] included a very large per centage of the
; feminine population, and quite a gather
| ing of men, and the unloading of the pret
tily decorated tree by Old Santa Rotch
was enjoyed quite as much by tliegrown
1 ups as by the children.
Miss Lisette and Master Thomas Riggs
III, Jr., were assisted in receiving by
Commissioner and Mrs. Thos. Riggs, Jr.,
and a number of other grown-ups, who
also helped distribute presents and pass
refreshments. Everyone present was re
membered by Santa Claus and the after
noon was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The children present, in addition to
the youthful hostess and host, were:
Helen Sarantes, Ray and Rodney Brevig,
Mariam and Clifford Xoeller, Genevieve
Harris, Ethel May Morrison,Ester Sevenn
Oscar Hendrickson, Billy Lawrence,Laura
Hall, Richard Foster, Arnold Nielson,
Robert and Frank Major and Annie
Kudzff.
INFORMAL DANCE
ON MONDAY NIGHT
An informal Xew Year’s dance will be
given at the Coliseum on Monday night,
immediately following the picture show.
It was originally the intention of the
management to give a masquerade, but
because of the scarcity ot masks and cos
tumes it was deemed advisable to change
the plans.
The show preceeding the dance will be
a regular twenty-five cent attraction of
four reels, and the managementannounc
es that not more than a half hour will be
required to clear the floor for dancing.

PLAN NEW THEATER
Sylvester Howell To Build
Attractive New
Show Shop
Realizing that Nenana is destined to
become a city of many times its present
size, and also realizing that the demand
for entertainment will be corresponding-!
ly great, Sylvester Howell, the well-1
known Hot Springs mining man and
Nenana property owner, has decided to
erect a new theater here, tor moving j
pictures principally, but for other forms
of amusement as well. It will be a real !
show house in every sense of the word,
and it is the intention of Mr. Howell to
make the new theater one of the most
attractive amusement places in the North, j
The theater will be built on two lots j
owned by Mr. Howell at the corner of;
Second and Market streets, opposite the
telegraph office. It will be sufficiently
large to seat 700 people, and prob
ably more, for there will be a roomy cir
cular balcony which will seat quite a
crowd in itself. Comfortable opera chairs
will be installed throughout.
Just how soon work will be started on
the new building depends largely on
weather conditions, but it is probable
that nothing much will be done until ,
early spring In the meantime Mr. How- ,
ell will go Outside and attend personally
to the selection ot the furnishings, some
of which, at least, will be shipped in
over the trail so that the theater can be
opened, if conditions warrant, before the
breakup. '
