A real Alaska photoplay, which]
when completed will have cost at least
$IO,OhO, is to he made. Many of the
t scenes will he laid in Seward and the
company reached Seward this morning
j on tin* Alaska and already the direct
o. has spotted many “locations” for |
scenes.
tieorge Kdwa d Jones, better known
as Alaska Blablock, is the man who is
going to make the movie features and
with other members of his company
he is registered at the Hotel Sexton.
Madame l>e LaPlate. who has been
seen in many photoplays at the Liber
ty; Raymond Johnson, Myrtle Alice
.lohn.'on and (iladys Johnson compose
the company with Alaska Blablock.
Now theiv is a fine chance for
>ome Sewardite to make a name for
himself in the flickerland drama.
Blablock wants a “villyun.” There
are perhaps many real live villians in
Seward but when it comes to working
before the footlights or the camera,
they spoil it all by getting on that ex
pression of “God bless mamma’s boy”
and thus go up in the air for the i
make-believe land. Anyone who can
qualify for the position should at once
consult with Blablock or his special
agent. Mayor E. E. Chamberlin, the
latter being an old time friend of the
movie man.
Alaska Blablock will undoubtedly |
call on the citizens to help him in the
pjjr scenes so everybody should he
ready for the first “call.1
