by extended in the acknowledge
ment. Mr. Cleveland said yesterday
that he took an oath on a stack of
bibles a mile high, that never again
would he permit a newspaper man
to accompany him on another test
run, due entirely to an incident
that occurred in far off Peru where
where a number of the cars were in
stalled last year. It was perfectly
all right for the correspondent to
accompany the railroad party on that
fateful trip but when he used his
persuasive powers and handed out a
line as to his skill as a driver, Mr.
Cleveland fell like tons of bricks,
and gave his consent. The reporter
took his seat and slipped the speed
device up to about 60 miles an hour.
Speed was what he craved. Round
ing a turn suddenly, lo and behold,
there was a Peruvian cow on the
track. Maintaining the reputation of
newspaper men, the reporter threw
the bull (on the track) with such
force that the car jumped the track
and later the car being run back to
the shops, it required two weeks to
make the necessary repairs.
“You may ride and you may ob
serve, but that is all,” Cleveland
said in conclusion.
Two weeks were required in tear
ing down certain parts of the car
in the Philadelphia shops prior to its
shipment to Alaska. Comparing that
time and the Eastern workmen with
members of his department, Mr. Hale
said he was confident his crew would
have the car ready to go two days
alter its arrival at this port. In oth
er words, Mr. Hale believes his me
chanical crews are much superior
to those mployed in the East. This
Lead, naturally, into an argument
with Mr. Cleveland, who strongly de
fended his company’s crews. The
outcome of the argument ended ami
cably, of course, but at that it was
nice to hear men of their caliber
standing loyally by their men.
Mr. Cleveland said that owing to
the fact Alaska is so far away from
j the Philadelphia headquarters of the
Brill company, he intends to remain
here for at least two months, or
until such a time he is certain the
crew who will be selected to oper
ate the car following the decision
where the car will first be put into
service, are thoroughly familiar with
the car’s operation. Generally the
Brill company sends an expert along
with each car with instructions to
remain a month. The fact the ma
jority of the cars are being placed
thruout the United States sixplifies
matters in case an expert is needd
at a later date, for a telegram would
bring a special mechanician at once,
but that this could not be done, with
reference to Alaska, owing to the
length of time needed to reach the
Territory.
ENTERTAINMENT PLUS IN
“THE WAY OF A GIRL”,
_
The best known recipe for making
a palatable motion picture is: Take
a story with original twists, add capa
ble direction, good actors, unusual
scenes and season with comedy, dra
ma and intelligence. Serve in seven
reels.
That recipe has' been followed by
the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer Company in
the production, “The Way of a Girl,”
the-picture tonight at the Liberty
Theatre.
Directed by Robert G. Vignola from
the story by Katherine Nefrlin Burt
“The Way of a Girl” tells of an irre
sponsible girl who wmnts always some
thing new and finds too much of it.
Incorporated in the story are many
brilliant scenes, the best of which
are an Artists Ball and a prize fight.
Eleanor Boardman, Matt Moore, W.
Russell and Mathew Betz play the
leading roles in the production with
Miss Boardman as the thrill-seeking
girl, Moore as her conservative suit
or, Russell in an unusually heroic
character role and Betz as the deep
dyed villain.
GILLES DELIVERS
MESSAGE OVER
RADIO STATION
HALF OF HIS ANNOUNCEMENT
GOT OVER REGARDLESS
OF SWITCHOUT
Not being satisfied with the an
nouncements being made recently at
the Anchorage broadcasting station
by a member of the “Ice Worm” Ra
dio Club, Gus Gilles, radio fan of the
highest order, and of course, a mem
ber of the club, asked that he be
permitted to do “his stuff.” The re
quest was granted.
At this point of the narrative it
is necessary to call the attention of
the reader that Mr. Gilles is Ter
ritorial agent for the Brunswick
phonographs. Inasmuch as Mr. Gil
les had supplied the station with the
Brunswich machine, he thought it no
more than right that the attention of
those listening in should know that
fact. Thus his dissatisfaction when
no mention was made to that ef
fect during the program.
Assuming the correct attitude for
broadcasting, Mr. Gilles at least, so
it was given to The Gateway report
er, began in thus wise: “Station so
and so, Anchorage broadcasting. You
will now hear and which Mr. —.”
At just about this time a member of
the station, who had really been
paying little attention to the an
nouncement, began to sit up and take
notice and quietly, without Mr. Gil
les being aware of the fact, switch
ed the station off. Mr. Gilles con
tinued at great length, it is said, af
ter which the operator, quietly again,
slipped the switch back to correct
broadcasting position, giving the re
ceiving stations an opportunity to
hear the program which followed Mr.
Gilles’s oration.
