The Gateway is now by far the largest daily paper in
Alaska outside of Juneau ami Anchorage, although Sew
ard is by no means as large as many cities with smaller
papers. The number of pages should not always be taken
into account when comparing larger pages with the Gate
wav as the Gatewav has a seven-column page and each col
unm is longer than the column of a six-column paper. Fhc
larger a town s paper becomes the better will it he as an
advertisement for the town.
One little thought has been created by the visit of
"Givilizatitm’’ to the city, it is not a thought about war
but a thought about small town "dramatic criticism.'
\ on could tiial. perhaps, three different opinions about
that production if you spoke to half a dozen different peo
ple, and the person with whose opinion your criticism
agreed would call the criticism good, while the person
whose opinion was not borne out in print would call the
critic a fool. People very often lose sight of the fact that
a dramatic critic ought to have some technical knowledge
of the drama. Some will tell you that criticism is just tile
use of common sense, but each of those would call the
critique common sense if. and only if, it agreed with their
own views. Some of them would agree that the scenes
presented in iast night's movie were wonderful, and that
the narrative was touching and all the rest. The scenes
were certainly very wonderful even though the producer
hud to forget the invention of smokeless powder to bring
out the intended effect. It was reallv tine to lie able to see
a submarine in active work, almost, one might say, in ac
tion. No one would probably disagree if it was said that
the aeroplanes living over a city made a glorious sight.
1 eriiaps, though, many would disagree if one said that the
picture, as a lesson against war, had all*that money could
buy and nothing that only real talent could produce. A
dog biting at a corpse is not the original thought of some
new genius. People struggling in the water is not a les
>on that strikes home nowadays, especially when seen in a
movie. iUanv might feel hurt if it were said that the
“mightv king of a mightv nation” walked in the roval
council chamber as a cop might strut in all his pomp on a
tenderloin beat, and condemned a man to death in the
manner of an excitable section boss firing one of the
hands. Money can produce great scenes but it can never
drive home the iesson that will end war unless it is aided
by genius, oi\at least, talent. Now, dear reader, what is
your own opinion?
Do you or do you not believe that a simple chapter
written by a genius, or a small canvas painted by adenitis
would have inrtniteiv greater effect? And vou can an
swer this in the affirmative without in the least detracting
from the pleasure hundreds of people had last night when
looking at the great picture.
