flNCKORAGE SHOW CAST
In a letter received in the last
mail from Anchorage the cast
of the “Call of the Banshee” pre
sented here last week, desires to
express their appreciation for the
reception given to them by the
Seward Post and Ladies of the
Auxliary, American Legion, and
they hope that they may again
have the pleasure of returning.
The program arranged by the
Committee and printed tty the
Gateway is to be complimented.
The advertisements were quite
readable and the other data com
piled worthy of commendation.
“We only trust that the people
of Seward enjoyed our efforts
to entertain you with our show.”
Mr. Brownell is to be con
gratulated on the nice work he
did in fixing up the stage for
the occasion and the future
should see many more home tal
ent presentations given there.
Leonard Hopkins is to be prais
ed for the “pep” he displayed,
the old war spirit of ‘Carry-on’,
and believe us he was on the
job from the start to the finish;
he is a fine chap and Seward
should be proud to have an ener
getic young man, such as he, in
their midst. With such a spirit
i of home loyalty and pushing
| for a better understanding be
: tween the various Alaska cities,
! Comrade Hopkins will go far in
I bringing the towns closer to
| gether. Seward is to be congrat
j ulated on having him as the
! Secretary of the Chamber of
! Commerce, and the American
j Legion were most fortunate in
i appointing him chairman of the
i show committee.
“The return trip w^as uneventful
I but the gang was full of “pep”
I and kept singing songs the en
tire way home; those who wait
j ed up to see the sun rise across
beautiful Resurrection Bay. stole
40-winks; with the wonderful
weather the entire trip was well
j worth while. We returned to gior
jious and sunshiny Anchorage, and
home, proudly acclaiming that
Sewardites are 100 per cent en
tertainers.”
