VAUDEVILLE SHOW
LAST NIGHT AT
LIBERTY SUCCESS
CLEVER NUMBERS PRESENTED
TO LARGE CROWD BY BEVY
OF SEWARD GIRLS
A packed house greeted the vaude
jville performance pl-esented at the Lib
i erty theater last night for the bene- j
fit of the visiting Anchorage girls has- !
ketball team, which girls arrived in
Seward last night and will play the I
local champs a series of three games,
the first to be played off this evening.
Those participating in the various
numbers received numerous encores
attesting to the success of their acts.
The first number on the program
was a clever Scotch dance by two lit- i
tie lassies, becomingly dressed in kil
ties n’everythiug. The girls were Merl
Stotko and Lois Jessen.
A bevy of Pierrettes and Pierrots,
burst upon the stage next, with a har
mony of vocal numbers. The debu
tantes were the Misses Cecil and Elsie :
Leslie, Edith McIntosh, and Elsie
Hoffmann. The young ladies appeared
quite “natty” in the Eighteenth cen-1
tury costumes.
Mrs. Merritt, the third number on
the program, rendered a creditable
recitation and was charmingly attir
ed in a spring costume.
A breath of old Japan, then drift
ed in from the wings, with the appear-|
ance of a chorus of becomingly dress
ed girls. The costumes and girls
were really beautiful, and to the time !
of waving colored parasols and dainty
fans, the audience were, for a brief
period, imagined they were viewing
a “big time” act. Miss Elsie Hoffmann I
led the chorus which was composed
of Misses Roberta McIntosh, Kath
ryn Neville, Sigrid Rossness, , Cecil
Leslie, Mrs. Hannon, Clara Manthey,
Mary McConnell and Elsa Larsson. |
Manager Brownell went to consider-!
able efforts in preparing for the per
j formance. The stage was completely
re-altered by a spring setting of flow- j
ers entwined in lattice work, and the
curtain of drapes, recently hung, was
highly approved.
The proceeds of the performance,
goes to the local girls team to assist
in meeting the expenditures of the
visiting team. The Anchorage girls
viewed the performance with enthus
iasm from a reserved section.
SPECIAL EDITION
OF THE GATEWAY
COMPLIMENTED
—
The Tulsa Daily World, of Oklaho
ma, recently published the following
article with reference to The Seward
Gateway Prosperity Edition, published
last December.
The headlines read—“Alaska Paper
Has Big Story—Progress Edition of
the Seward Gateway a Delight.”
The article follows:
Many special editions of newspapers
come to The World office. They are
of all sizes and all degrees of worth.
The best one of years came in the
other day—the Progress Edition of
the Seward Gateway. The Gateway
is a daily paper published in a town
of less than 1.000 people and far away
from the base of supplies. This edi
tion is as neat a piece of printing as
any ordinary printshop of any size
can turn out. The edition is of 60
pages, all clean and bright. The fin
ancial and physical feats involved are
noteworthy.
Alaska is a great country, the
Gateway says. It plays up the fishing
industry, the blue fox farms, the farm
ing and the mining and timbering.
Seward, small as it is, is a very
important town, founded in 1903. It
is a real gateway. The special edi
tion pays a great deal of attention to
the Alaska Railroad and the develop
ment of public roads. It alludes affec
tionately to some of its prominent
citizens as old sourdoughs.
There are two holidays in Alaska,
at least Alaska day and Seward day.
March 30 is set aside to honor W. H.
Seward, who bought the whole coun
try for §7,500,000. Founders of Alas
ka day is Oct. 18.
Some of the striking pictures of
the special edition are of the summer
views in the district, tfre old Russian
blockhouse at Sitka and cartoons on
the country, politically, by E. F. Jes
sen.
Special attention given to cleaning
and pressing of women’s clothes.
