HIGH FROM I!IE
A recent visitor is Dr. Neville
Lacey, a medical man of repute
who has spent the past 15 years in
the upper reaches of the Amazon
River country, where ne has been
studying the plant life and customs
of the Jarvaros, the head-hunters
of that district. Dr Lacey brought
one of the Indians back with him
this beina the i!me one has
ever left his native land.
How this was brought about is
due to the influence the doctor has
on these people, he being sort of a
high priest and god, being the first
white man they ever saw.
These natives are °talwart and
very alert, and probably the best
naturalists to be found in the
world today. They capture mon
keys and other native wild life and
tame these to answer their call,
making it a rather weird ereehug
to a stranger when tramping thru
their country. Dr. Lacey and his
servant are visiting with Peter
Ad^ir, bis tmeie nnd expects to re
main here until—better not let the
secret out for it would spoil the
“Call of the Banshee” for vou,
which wll be given at the Liberty
theatre one night only, Friday
night December 20 bv the Little
Theatre Club of Anchorage, under
the auspees of the Seward Post of
the American Legion. Reserved
tickets go on sale in a few days.
