GIRDWOOD NEWS
GIRDWOOD, Alaska, Apr. 11—Wed
nesday evening after a very strenu
ous trip, the Alaska Moving Pictures
Corporation Players arrived at Gird
wood, after being delayed at Bird for
seven hours on account of large slides
at miles 76.1 and 76.6. The following
comprised the personnel of the com
pany: A. B. Luce and wife, L. H.
Moomaw and wife, G. E. Lewis and
wife, Raymond Johnstone, Gladys
Johnstone, H. H. Brownell and wife.
As the train did not arrive until 9:00
p. m., the company did not commence
work until morning. At 4:30 a. m.
Girdwood became an object of activi
ty, and by noon it was changed into
a tented city, a replica of gold rush
day, tents being placed from the rail
road track to the Bay. Shots were
taken Thursday evening. We must
state that it takes a perfect organi
zation of well trained men to work as
swiftly as these people did; all plans
being laid before anything was touch
ed and everything working smoothly.
No mishaps occurred whatever. No
one seemed to be afraid of work and
everyone helped willingly.
Friday was the brg day in Gird
wood. About noon a special train ar
rived from Anchorage carrying about
seventy passengers, who were to take
part in the stampede scene in the aft
ernoon and evening. In the evening
the big sc£ne was staged, six moving
picture cameras being used and many
flares lighted to show up the tented
city. It was a wonderful sight to be
hold; to see over one hundred min
ers going down the line, clothing,
packs and outfits identical with those
used over the Chilkoot pass, and to
see tandem dog teams rushing down
the trail. This reproduction of 1897
and 1898, showing campfires, mountain
passes and restless and over-anxious
chechacos and sourdoughs waiting for
the break of dawn to make their wild
dreams and imaginations come true,
was perfect and coulu not have been
better played and staged.
Saturday was used to take “close
ups,” and Sunday being too dark no
pictures were taken. The entire com
pany departed for Anchorage at 2 p.
m. Sunday.
While In Girdwood Mrs. M. L. Whit
ney, Mrs. Oswald, and Miss Loraine
McManus with the kindness of Mr.
Hitchcock, donating his kitchen and
diningroom, these ladies furnished
meals for this company. It caused
these good ladies a lot of work but
they were glad to do this as this com
pany would have been very much in
convenienced had it been necessary
to look elsewhere for accommoda
tions. Meals were served without any
delays whatever and the stampede
crowd of Friday was served with two
meals and with the kind assistance o*
Mrs. M. M. Thompson, they were serv
ed in record time. Mr. Lewis extend
ed his kind appreciation and was
much pleased at the ability shown by
the ladies.
Mr. Lewis advised the press repre
sentative that Girdwood is one of the
most ideal locations for this type of
pictures that he has found in his wide
and many years of travel. He advises
us that Girdwood may become a per
manent location for this kind of pic
tures. We hope that will be the case.
Last Friday the Girdwood popula
tion jumped to about 200 inhabitants,
spectators coming from many miles to
witness Che filming of “The Great
White Silence stampede scene, and
they were well rewarded. Such action
and beauty may never be seen again
by many of these people.
Mr. A. S. Erickson and wife and J.
Johnson from Crow Creek were visi
tors in town Sunday.
Ditcher 101 in care of Engineer
Jefferies and Conductor Clarkin mov
ed to Anchorage Thursday. While
here they were engaged loading piling

banks last Thursday. Mr. Tessiei
will be employed as cook for Denhari
& Stewart Qn Caribou creek.

James Campbell and wife and Clydt

movie stampede.
