The entertainment and dance giv
jen on Saturday evening by ^s’enana
Igloo, No. 17, Pioneers of Alaska,

Mrs. Walter Gould. followed with
a vocal solo, accompanied by Miss

and responded to an encore with
“Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,”
both songs being very much en
! joyed. The next number on the
program was a dance by Margaret

Coliseum orchestra.
Mrs. Leon Kellum brought the en

at Twilight," which she sang in her
usually pleasing style, to the violin
'accompaniment of Prof. Berggren.
For an encore, Mrs. Kellum sang
“The Statue of Liberty is Calling

After the program had been com

THESPIANS MAKE 1
HIT WITH DRAMA
IN UPPER TOWN
j If reports coming to Ncnana from
|Fairbanks may be depended upon,
'the members of the Xenana dra
matic company, who returned to
town today, achieved a signal suc
jcess in the upper town with their
[presentation of “Rio Grande” at
!the Auditorium on Saturday night.
They played to a crowded house,
! acquitting themselves like profes
sionals, and they entertained the peo
ple of Fairbanks with a free dance
after the show. It was a big night
for the company and a bigger night
for Fairbanks, oldtimers of the up
per town declaring that the show
was one of the best amateur pro
ductions ever witnessed there.
The reception accorded members
of the cast who formerly lived in
Fairbanks was most enthusiastic and
much appreciated. And the large
audience was “with” the company
every minute of the show. Nothing
went over and applause was fre
quent and enthusiastic throughout.
During the two days following
the show, the members of the com
pany were kept busy accepting in
vitations to dinners and to parties,
and last night the Xenana con
tingent were the honored guests at
a free dance which was given at
Eagle hall by Fairbanks’ famous
jazz orchestra, consisting of the
Bentley brothers, Billy1- Root, M. P.
Fleischman, the Nordale brothers,
and Sofus Knutsen. The music was
a delight to the visitors and the
dance one of thorough enjoyment.
There were no counter attractions
on the night of the show, the weath
er was ideal and the residents of
the upper town keen for entertain
ment. The Thorne moving picture
theater was closed as a mark of
courtesy to the Nenanaites, an evi
dence of good will that was not
lost on the visitors.
As an added attraction to the
'show, Miss Leota Scott delighted
the audience with one of her artis
tic dances, receiving a big ovation.
It was her first appearance in the
upper town.
The Fairbanks success will be
celebrated by the company tonight
at the Central cafe, where a special
dinner is being prepared for the
entire cast and a limited number of
guests.
