Interesting Items About
Farthest-North College
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
Charles E. Claypool, a prominent
attorney of Seattle, and one of those
sourdoughs who counts his years
spent in the Interior as the best of
his life, has a good word for the Col
legian and the College in the follow
ing paragraph to President Bunnell:
“I was much pleased, as a Sour
dough and one of the Fathers of Fair
banks, to receive the Farthest North
Collegian this morning. It is a long
cry from the trading camp and Bar
nett’s store and the Big Saloon to this
modern little city with such an insti
tution. My daughter, now the moth
er of two sons, made the grammar
grade in Fairbanks. My son, ready
for High School from his training
there, graduated in the College of
Science at the University of Washing
ton in 1920. Tempus do fugit, eh,
wot ? All good luck to you personal
ly and great success to your institu
tion.”

mm DAWN PARTY
TO FILM SCENES IN
VICINITY MILE 52
Norman Dawn and party of mov-!
ing picture actors, left Anchorage last!
Saturday for Tunnel where they will j
spend ten days filming scenes on Bart
lett and Spencer glacier, and in the
canyon near Spencer glacier.
Says the Anchorage Times com
menting on the moving picture party:
The scenes taken at Tunnel will be
among the features of the new Al
aska feature which will be made by
Mr. Dawn under the working title of
“Passions of the Frost.” It is the
intention of the party to stay at Tun
nel for ten days and return to An
chorage. The length of the stay at
Anchorage will be determined by the
weather.
After a brief visit in Anchcruge
Mr. Dawn intends to move the com
pany down the coast, taking shots at
Seward and at Columbia glacier, ami
finally taking some totem poles in the
vicinity of Ketchikan. The scenes in
this splendid new feature will have
a wide variety of range, from the
shots in the Arctic Circle to the south
ernmost part of Alaska. Include !
in the feature will be several thrill
ing scenes taken in the Valley of Ten
Thousand Smokes by the Dawrn com
pany.
The story of Hie rew feature shows
the Alaska of the olden days and deals
with the former injustices of the whal
ers ■with the native Eskimos. There
are two love stories in the plot, ■with
the prineipai characters being an Es
kimo chief played by Arthur Jasmine,
former leading man for Nazimova,
and a young American scientist and
exploier, played by George Fishci,
former lead for Mary Miles Mintcr.
The viu5 situdes of these two men wi1!
be shown, and interwoven with all this
will be plots, counter-plots, thrills,
beautiful scenery, dog-teams, polar
bears .reindeer and oldtime Alaskan
dance halls.
About sixty per cent of the feature
will be outdoor shots and these will
be filmed in Alaska. The interior shots
will be taken in Hollywood, where
available studio facilities are to be
had. Several big stars will be work
ed in the picture in the interior scenes.
This picture ,states Mr. Dawm, will
cost between $75,000 and $80,000 and
most of the proceeds of the advance
royalties on the first picture filmed
by Mr. Dawn, “The Lure of the Yu
kon,’ are being used to make this pic
ture. Where the “Lure of the Yukon”
was only six reels in length, the newT
picture will run into eight reels and
will be made a big special.
