‘Story of Mankind’ At
Nomerama Displays
Dazzling Array of Stars
One of the most exciting stories
ever brought to the screen arrives
at the Nomerama Theater today.
It is Warner Bros.’ “The Story of
Mankind,” adapted by Irwin Al
len from the international classic
by Hendrik van Loon.
One of the most outstanding
all-star name casts ever to appear
in a single motion picture star in
the Technicolor film. It is headed
by Ronald Coleman, Hedy La
marr, Groucho Marx and his
brothers Harpo and Chico, Vir
ginia Mayo, Agnes Moorehead,
Vincent Price, Teeter Lorre and a
host of others.
The book, listed as the third
best-seller of all-time, outdis
tanced only by the Holy Bible
and “Gone With The Wind,” was
reportedly the one book critics!
thought “impossible” to bring to
the screen.
In selecting those incidents of
man and time most pertinent to
the filming of “The- Story of
lankind,’ Irwin Allen mused, it
eemed obvious to him that some
of the most salient features of
mankind have been womankind.
Incidents supporting this theory
are incorporated in the picture,
and among them are scenes de
picting the lives of Helen of Troy,
Cleopatra, Marie Antoinette, Joan
of Arc and Queen Elizabeth.

Chamber Letter Protests I
Treatment of N.W. Alaska
By State Departments
A full attendance at the Cham
ber of Commerce luncheon Mon
day welcomed its new president,
Pearse Walsh, who presided for
the first time since his election to
that office.
The Chamber unanimously ap
proved of a letter to State
officials and legislators protesting
and denouncing the attitude of
most State departments in their
unfairness to the whole of North
western Alaska.
The fact that one by one, many
of the departments of the State
government have withdrawn
their representatives from the
Second Division, substituting ex
pensive one-day visits from Fair
banks or Anchorage, is curtailing
justice to the entire area.
The complete text of the letter
which is being sent to all gov
ernment heads as well as State
agencies and legislators, will be
published in Friday’s Nugget.
