TANANA VALLEY FAIR
BRINGS OUT TALENT
Of the many phases of the Tan
ana Valley Fair, none were more
gratifying than the entertain
ment features which brought in
to relief the quantity of home
talent among old and young.
Fairbanks surprised herself.
Youngsters of the frying size,
adolescents and oldsters were
proved to possess gifts that of-1
fer no end of possibilities—and
to rank this community along
with any other in America.
From the home town band to
orchestras, soloists and group
singers and instrumental players
the town is especially favored.
Stage and dramatic talent, from
dancers to players of serious and
comic roles, impersonators and
wihat have you is here the same
as in metropolitan centers or the
large and small towns in any of
the States. Some of the budding
stars of the realm are worthy
candidates for Hollywood and
the "Big Time” of Broadway.
Who knows what may be in store
for those who do their utmost to
develop their gifts.
Fairbanks is going to need a
lot of talent of this kind in the
future and doubtless will provide
her share. With proper encour
agement through public and com j
munity patronage and faithful!

themselves—Fairbanks is destin
