Dancers Production
Is Rare Treat
Seward’e entertainers proved them
selves Saturday night so far above
the ordinary amateur talent as to
compare with those well up in the
ranks of professionals. Without res
ervation the claim may be made that
those who took leading parts in the
“Second Monster Minstrels,” by the
Arctic Brotherhood, are stars. The
entertainment was more musical than
minstrel and as such was a complete
success.
Individual comment is due those
displaying unusual ability, and will
bo given.
Among the “seven darlings,” Miss
Carlson and Miss Ballaine divided
the honors. Miss Ballaine’s dancing
with Grant Carlson was. particularly
dainty and pleasing, and Miss Carl
son’s solo, “Wicki, Wicki Woo,” as
sisted by the chorus was rendered
with the snap and go of a profession
al number. Miss Hallett’s solos,
“Naughty, Naughty, Naughty,” and
“His Hand’s in his pockets,” assisted
by the chorus were catchy and well
rendered. Miss Cooper opened the
carburet, scene with a popular air,
and then Miss Cooper and Virgil Rich
did a clever bit of dancing. Solos by
Mrs. H. C. Munro were highly ap
preciated.
Ernest Allen, whistler, rendered
solos which were a most pleasant sur
prise, unique and well given, they
merited the prolonged applause .
Erich Lucas has a voice of remark
able tone and volume, but having ap
peared as a professional in New York,
is not to be compared with our local
talent. Mr. Lucas could at any time
give an entire program that would be
a musical treat. To his direction of
the production of Saturday night is
due much of its success.
Clifford Mooers, and Bryce Howard
proved clever entertainers. Mooers
song and dance act entitled, “O’Brien
ts Trying to Talk Hawaiian,” was well
received, and Howard’s solo work in
the carbaret scene was spirited and
heartily appreciated.
In the minstrel work the quartet,,
including Mooers, Howard, James and ^
Lucas, rendered many sweet melodies, j
End Men Ryan, Lucas, Kennedy, Fin- j
negan, Tarwater, Mooers and How
ard, under direction of Interlocutor
Henry, were right there, smash bang,
with the jokes and made it hot for
each other and some of the innocent \
bystanders. It was all in good part
and received witfi much laughter.
Ryan’s song and his book of “pre
historic facts,” were both well hand-;
led, and Tarwartcr scored when he
discovered that Anchorage is a Jap
anese word meaning “good night.”
The chorus, while well in the back
ground upon the stage, deserve spe
cial mention for the harmony they

Owens and Chambers.
I The seven darlings, Misses Carlson
Ballaine, Hallet, Romig, Torrey, Ricli,
and Cooper were most strikingly
gowned and in addition to their
beauty, individually and collectively,
could sing and dance and did at every]
opportunity with .a vim that was only
acquired by practice and oodles of
pep. Special credit is due Miss Hal
let, who drilled them in the steps.
Miss Revell and Miss Johnson, wait
resses in the carbarct did their best
to quench the thirst of the thirsty and
never spilled a drop of the hoo— that
is, the grape juice.
Music and accompaniments were
supplied by Mrs. A. H. McXeer, and
Burtram Denny.
Special credit is due Alex. McDon- j
aid, who was in entire charge of the
entertainment; Mrs. Erich Lucas, who
costumed the chorus;Hermann Haasch,
who supervised the stage decorations;
L. E. Thompson, who put in the elec
trical effects, and all others connected
with the affair, which ended in a blaze j
of enthusiasm when Captain Thomas |
Ward and the ensemble brought the
crowd to its feet with the “Star Span-1
gled Banner.”
