VALENTINO—JAR A MOUNT
TEN REEL PICTURE AT
THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
If the word “super-production” had
not been so sadly abused and misused,
we would be sorely tempted to apply
it to Rudolph Valentino’s latest Para
mount picture, “Monsieur Beaucaire”
which opens tonight at the Liberty
Theatre. For if ever a picture deserv
ed superlatives it surely is that play
which Forrest Halsey adapted from
Booth Tarkington’s gloriously human
story and which reaches the silver
sheet via the directional guidance of
Sidney Olcott.
Imagine the love interest of “The
Sheik,” the romantic coloring of
“Blood and Sand” and the spectacle
of “The Four Horsemen” combined
in one photoplay and you begin to un
derstand why “Monsieur Beaucaire"
is a photodrama of amazing beauty and
power. To the students of history it
will be an inspiration; to the school
boy it wrill be an education, and to the
blase film fan it will be a revelation.
All the pomp and magnificence of the
court of Louis XV, notorious for its
love affairs, its intrigue, honor and
vice. The scheming Mme. Pompadour,
the dissolute king, the crafty Riche
lieu—they live once more.
Sophistication is just the realiza
tion that the stock exchange isn’t
anything like Santa Claus.
SUMMARY NEWS
OF FAR NORTH
In letters received in Dawson re
cently from Ft. McPherson and Hers
chel several interesting incidents
stand forth in'the happenings which
have taken place at those far north
ern points during the past summer,
says the Dawson News.
Of most importance was the visit of
the governor general of Canada, who
journeyed to the Arctic during the
summer, and who was the object of
much discussion in those parts.
The steamer Distributor carried sev
eral of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s
men up to Fort McPherson and Her
schel island, where they inspected the
company’s posts and outlying agen
cies.
The death is reported of Mrs. Louis
Cardinal upon the birth of a child.
Mrs. Cardinal was formerly Katherine
Firth, daughter of John! Firth, who for
many years was in charge of the Hud
son’s Bay Company’s post at Ft. Mc
Pherson, and who is now retired and
living there. The baby was taken over
in charge by a sister of the deceased
a Mrs. Parson, who is also living at
Fort McPherson. William Firth, a son
of John Firth and the present factor
of the Hudsons Bay Companys post
at Fort McPherson is doing nicely. A
year ago he sustained a broken thigh,
but a specialist happened to be pass
ing through the place at the time and
the injured part was, therefore, given
immediate and professional attention
and is now as good as ever.
The Hudson Bay Company has
erected a new post at Point Separa
tion no the east branch. Kenneth
Stuart is in charge of this post.
The new radio station at Aklavik is
i now open for business and is very
convenient. Captain Mills, a former
captain of the Hudson Bay Company’s
steamer on the Mackenzie river put
up the buildings for the new station.
It is expected that another wireless
station will be built so that the Arctic
coast will not be without its modern
method of communication.
A radio set was installed at the
mission at Fort McPherson last sum
mer by the wireless operator who
traveled with the governor-general’s
party. The governor-general himself
was very much interested in the far
north, and especially with the work
of the church in those far northern
points. The radio set which was in
stalled was a present of Bishop Lu
cas to the Fort McPherson mission.

FEMALECARIBOU
ARE DESTROYED
BY WOLF PACKS
Under the head of communications
the Dawson News of recent date pub
lished the following letter received
from George Pitts:
Editor News: Referring to Chief
Isaac’s story of wolves destroying
game—which is very true—something
ought to be done to save the remain
der, which is diminishing fast, such
as caribou, sheep, moose and other
game.
In my estimation the female caribou
is being destroyed. I think something
must be done to save the remainder
of the herds and their offspring be
cause they are essential to the natives
as well as the white people of this
country.
The male caribou outnumber the
female in vast numbers. Consequent
ly the females are becoming barren.
We must bear in mind that this meat
is more valuable than gold or silver
because we cannot eat metals. As is
well known the working people of this
country would have to leave if the
game became extinct.
My suggestion is to get a flying ma
chine with which to locate them and
use hand bombs; destroy them by gov
ernment aid; also give a larger boun
ty to the trapper for every pelt; ap
point game wardens.
Furthermore, in the past these valu
able animals have been destroyed to
provide food for a lot of worthless
dogs and foxes and I am informed
the same condition exists at the pre
sent time.
