One of the most pretentious film
offerings ever presented will be seen !
at the Coliseum- tomorrow night,
when Mary Piekford will appear in
her newest Artcraft picture, "Re
becca of Sunnybrook Farm.”
Little Mary, with her effervescent,
youth, her genuine comedy and her
wonderful knowledge of dramatic
technique, is the ideal person to
immortalize the little girl in the
New England village, who, though
dominated by two crabbed old aunts,
does not permit it to crush her
spirits.
The play is very elaborately
staged and the popular little leading
lady is supported by an exception
ally strong cast, every one a star..
The show is in five reels.

10 SHARE PLANT
, The Alaska Daily Citizen, which
lost its home in Fairbanks yester
day afternoon as a result of the
'fire which wiped out a considerable
portion of the- business block on
■Garden island at the northern end
jof the steel bridge, made its ap
pearance as usual this morning, but
'in somewhat abbreviated form, the
| paper being about half its usual
;size—to pages instead of four. The
■paper was issued from the plant of
the News-Miner, attended with dif
ficulties understood only by those
familiar with the newspaper situa
tion in Fairbanks. The use of the
1 plant was generously offered bv1
;
!Publisher Thompson, but the con- i
tinued publication of the two pa-;
!per3 at the one office is not an at-i
.tractive proposition to either pub-'
, fisher. It was not known this aft-1
ernoon whether or not another issue :
,of the Citizen would appear.
J. Harmon Caskey, owner of the
Citizen, was taken to the hospital
yesterday afternoon, after the fire,
and was still there today, receiving
treatment for burns received while
he was engaged in fighting the
flames with a hand chemical. He is
not badly hurt, however, and ex-1
pected to be out this evening or i
tomorrow, by which tim- he prob
ably will be ready to announce hi«
plans for the future.
The report of the fire, as pub
lished by The News yesterday, was!
substantially correct. The Citizen
building and plant are a mass of;
ruins, from which it will be prac
tically impossible to save a thing—
certainly nothing in the way of
machinery or paper stock. The two
story log building immediately north
of the Citizen building, facing the
Samso;- ■ ibiing, was also practical
ly ruined by the fire, and so was •
the structure on the east end of
the same lot, facing Bridge street.
The log building was occupied by
the Bridge poolroom, and the other
building was occupied by the Bridge
cafe, both owned by Peter Dragi
vich. The Davis building, standing
next to the Citizen on the east side,
was considerably damaged as pre
viously reported, by fire and water,
but the department managed some
how to save the structure, in spite
of the fact that fire raged fiercely,
on two sides of it. The back stairs j
leading to the upper story of the •
Davis buildng were burned, but
that was all.
As reported yesterday, the alarm |
was turned in from the Fairbanks,
side of the river, the flames, as i
they burst from the Turner street'^
side of the building, having been '
seen almost simultaneou-lv from the
Melntosh & Kubon drug store and >i
the Pinska store. Their calls and il
one from the Samson Hardware |i
company reached the firehall at
about the same time. It is still 1
believed that the tire was caused
by a heater in the Citizen business
office, probably overheated. There
was a desk near the stove, and
usually a considerable accumulation
I of papers in that part of the office.
! Mr. Caskey was in another part of
| the office, running a press, when the
•fire started, which probably accounts
!for the fact that he did not see or
hear the flames before they had
|made headway.
By the time the alarm was turned
in, much of the interior was in
flames and the fire beyond control.
Seven streams of water were used
and the firemen were materially as
sisted in confining the flames by an
absence of wind. The smoke shot
straight up into the air.
The Citizen building was built
by Caskey in the early days of Fair
j banks, and for several years it was
occupied by the Tanana Publishing
company, now publishers of the
News-Miner. Later it was sold to
the Miners’ union and a second story
added. and eventually it reverted to
the original owner through failure
of the union to make its payments.
The lower part of the building was j
divided into storerooms and rented,
with the exception of one, in which
the Citizen first saw the light of
day, as a weekly publication. And
as the adjoining rooms became va
cant, the Citizen expanded until it
occupied the entire lower floor. The
paper entered the daily field in j
1916 and the plant was one of the
best equipped in the Territory when
the fire came yesterday. On a pre
vious occasion, a number of years
ago, the upper portion of the build
ing was considerably damaged by
fire.
Information reecived from Fair
banks this afternoon is to the effect
that the Citizen plant and building
carried only $2,500 insurance. The
aggregate loss, including the Cit
izen and adjoining property, is esti
mated at more than $50,000.
