Anchorage was right!
And the Seward Bills’ Club was
right!
For ever since Saturday night
when the Elks’ presented “The
Whole Town’s Talking” the whole
town has been talking.
It has been the pleasure of
the writer to have reviewed the
majority of performances pre
sented. during the last eight
years, by the Little Theater club
of Anchorage and without hes
sitation. or fear of contradiction,
Saturday’s show, by the talent
ed members of the cast, was far
superior of any of the many and
excellent entertainments in recent
years.
The cast wore a professional de
meanor; the old “pep” was im
bued in each and every one and,
as far as the audience could
detect, not one error was made.
The three-act comedy was pre
n; ci under ; he auspices of the

M. J. MacDonald had but a brief
moment of glory in the first
scene; Henry Simmons, Sanford
Dodge, was a man full of good
ideas—sometimes—and not only
got himself in “dutch” but also
his poor partner.
Ethel Simmons, the darling
daughter portrayed by Mae Wen
nerstrom, was just as nice as
j could be; Roger Shields, Walter
I Niemi, revealed lots of natural
| talent in his characterization of
I a “lounge lizard.” Poor old Ches
i ter Binney. Maurice L. Sharp,
was in a H— of a fix until the
very end thru the connivance of
I his partner. Sally Otis, Mildred
Ames, was a cute trick, as was
also Lila Wilson, Ruby Laughlin,
girl friends from next door. Don
ald Swift, John M. Cook, played
the heavy in his usual dramatic
and forceful style; but got whip
ped. Letty Lythe, Gertrude Mul
cahy, the movie queen, imper
sonated a star to perfection but
caused Binney a lot of grief; then
Sadie Bloom, a dancing teacher,
Pearl MacDonald, stepped into
the picture and informed old-man
Simmons where to head in at.

TIE PM. REPORTER
According to the police reporter
I there was a “heap” of mystery
connected with the arrival of
! Saturday's train. Mystery? “You
'said it!”,
The thread of the grand alleg
ed mystery was woven around a
handbag (or was it two?) labeled
fragile. The suspicion of the old
sleuth was aroused when the
supposed mysterious gentleman
stepped off the Pullman and was
heard to direct attention to the
luggage he carried and that “I
want the editor of your bladder
sheet to see and investigate this.”
Meaning, of course, the handbag
or bags.
Ah ha! The plot thickens.
The mystery was heightened
when the said Pullman passen
ger was quoted as saying: “I
sure hate to leave this (or these)
in the depot.”
It was all forgotten until the
police reporter again saw his
"mysterious” gent in the cast of
he Elks’ play “T ie Whole Town’s
Talking.” He w; > empersonating
the character, D nald Swift, and
was just as mys erious as ever.
Then it was r called that this
• me gent was the identical man
who made his appearance here
come weeks ago—when the Shrin
ers shined.-.but at that time he
had what appeared to be a doc
tor's, or one of those old ‘fash
ioned fakirs grips.
But perhaps' all that the last
bags container' were cosmetic pre
parations. his costumes -and the
cu’c ‘ittle blrwkie misplaced eye
brow and perhaps a tooth-brush
and clean collar.
In any case. John Cook was
the boy. so officer, do your duty!

Carnation, Alaska’s standby for
years. It nourishes perfectly, too,
