REV. DUNLAP IS
IN SOUND CITY
Rev. 3i. V. B. Dunlap came south
on the steamship Yukon, says the
the Alaska Weekly, and is in Seattle,
for the purpose of perfecting plans
for the new building to be construct
ed for the Jesse Lee Home near Sew
ard. It is understood the building
will cost about $100,000 and will be
of the stucco type. The site favored
by Rev. Dunlap is at Woodrow, on
the government railroad at “Lake
Kenai,” a scenic spot adapted for a
Home of this sort. The! buildings and
grounds will probably cover about
five acres.
The Jesse Lee Home has long been
located in Unalaska, but since a “de
structive fire laid waste most of the
buildings it was deemed advisable to
remove the Home to a point where
transportation facilities are better.”

POMP AND CEREMONY OF
OLD FRANCE IN FILM
One of the big screen events of the
year will take place tonight when “Un
der the Red Robe” is shown at the
Liberty Thearte. It will he repeat
ed again tomorrow night for those
who miss it this evening.
“Under the Red Robe” has all the
essentials for the sort of picture that
the public wants. , Taken from Stan
ley Weyman’s famous masterpiece of
the same name, it reflects not only a
wonderful medieval romance but all
the pomp and ceremony, the plotting
and intrigue and the gorgeous splen
dor of the period of Cardinal Riche
lieu. The picture was nine months
in the making and its production en
tailed a cost of $1,500,000. Three
studios were used and one of the big
gest sets ever constructed in the
East was built. This set, a replica of;
the Louvre when it was used as a fort
ress in the early part of the seven
teenth century represents the palace
of King Louis XIII.
To interpret the famous characters
of history in the story the Cosmopoli
tan Corporation assembled a brilliant
cast of players on stage and screen.
Robert B. Mantell, John Charles Thom
as and Alma Rubens appear in the fea
ture roles. Mr. Mantell has the role
of Cardinal Richelieu, a character he
impersonated on the speaking stage.
Mr. Thomas is the heroic lover, Gil
de Berault, and Miss Rubens plays
Renee. Others in an especially not
able company are Genevieve Hamper,
William H. Powell, Rose Coghlan, Ian
MacLaren, Mary McLaren, Otto Kru
ger, Evelyn Gosnell, Gustav von Seyf
fertitz, Sydney'Herbert, Charles Jud

WATSON FOR KODIAK
E. M. Goddard, game warden for
the Sitka district, arrived on the Ad
miral Watson today on his way to
! Kodiak, where he will release fourteen
adult deer on the Island. Mr. Goddard
states that this ends the approprio
tion from the last legislature for the
stocking of southwestern Alaska with
game animals, but that the present
legislature under the Grier bill has
appropriated $10,000 to stock this dis
trict and adjacent islands with elks,
deer and fur bearing animals.
Mr. Goddard states that his charges
are in good condition and will reach
their destination in good shape. A
herd of deer placed on Kodiak island
several years ago, were destroyed by
the eruption of Katmai, although
reaching good proportions before the
ash covered the vegetation.
