AN ENJOYABLE JAZZY
TIME GIVEN BY THE
BOYS OF THE SATOHN
x
There was a real jazz time at the
Arctic Hrotherhood liall last night
given by the rollicking jazz bunch
from the F.S.S. Saturn and when the
last number was over, children and
grown-ups left the nail all declaring
that the vaudeville show was a slices*,
was throughly enjoyed and apprec
iated and that the various performers
had handed out the classy article.
There was all kinds of music, some
thing that everybody understand*^
good lively sketches, everything mov
ed fast and there was no lagging.
Seward turned out enmas*e. was on
time and when the footlights went irp
and the Saturn's jazz orchestra, com
posed of trap drummer Shrode and
rag tune king Griffiths, hit the clip,
feet started a moving and everybody
in the large audience kept up the
strenuous gait until the very last. Pao
Star Spangled Banner was sung well,
everybody standing and the jazz night
had them started.
Following the jazz overture, George
L. Henning announced the next num
ber, which was himself, and then start
1 ed making the .piano do various
things. Mr. Henning gave the various
selections which have been the rage
at the time of the many entrances in
• war of the t\S„ and played them
well. The performer was obliged to
make two responses to encores show-,
ing that the audience had picked him
right off the reel as a favorite. i
George Gullufsen and John L. Jack
son, black face comedians, both sang
solos well, were required to give en
cores and also tossed off many good
local puns, Saturn hits and a new lii e
of chattering.
The Saturn s string trio, 1 euro A li
ft rad i, Pablo Clet, and Carl King, gave
their number so satisfactorily that
they were required to play another
and following more presistent applau
se gave their third selection.
There is a good trio aboard the Sat
urn anil this was demonstrated when
the Newsboy Trio and the ship’s fam
ous trio, appeared at two different
places on the program. The singers
are (ieorge L. Henning. Samuel R.
McFarland and H.V.K. Strang. Their
Newsboy trio selections were the kind
we all know, always makes a hit. and
the selections on their second appear
ance on the program brought out fur
ther good harmony with their barber
shop renditions, as we all know them.
McFarland later appeared on the pro
gram as the Saturn’s song-bird and
he was required to live up to the re
putation and did in a most delightful
manner.
Hause and Marshal in Irish ton-i
fetti” threw out some good jokes,
made several hits by ther local take
offs, not forgeting several of the Sat
urn's officers. The difference between
a slacker ami a lemon pie made a hit,
the answer being they have no crust
to get over the top.
Paymaster L.T. Lyon, with eight of
the boys gave “an inspection” and
then on came Roar Admiral Ike
Kohenstein. Now Ike was no slouch
in his Jew character and should have
permitted his name to have been on
the program. Anyway here it is—
Surgeon Grove Baldwin was Ike and
in his bv-play, his original song and
walk-around with the aforesaid eight
and Paymaster Lyon was one of the
hits of the show. Earlier in th# even-I
! ing L)r. Baldwin, on the program a?
[ "a prospector," recited Kobert Ser
vice's poem. “The Cremation of San
McGee" in a manner which tingleu
the blood of the sourdoughs m the
audience and earneu good npplaus
for his ability. I>r. Baldwin respondee
with “Overheard by Central" a poeij,
i bout the Devil telling the kaisei
that lioll would be ready Xor a new
ruler.
i “Ba »y Griffiths then had his inninp
at the piano and his turn was an
other hit of the show. “Baby" has i
powerful sledge hammer in his left
bunch of fives and the base always
tan be heard in a jingling manner
Baby s" story, sent to popular music
old and tie v, was interesting ami ht
as , ecalied several times.
* The New* Uctruit" by Hause am.
Nash, was a neat sketch, well done
ho. ing the funny side of joining th«
uilitary force
I Vince Moku u:»d lVincess Sabio. wht
will be remembered as appearing ir.
Seward on the last visit of the Sat
;ra, gave "A night in Hawaii. ” sing
ing and dancing in a manner tha
oi ought wown the house from th«
gal erv to the-front row.
IVnsil 1). krotler, monoligi$t aiv
dnger had a gootf line of patter, toh
several stories in different dialect do
cidedly well and ended with a burl
esijite dance, a la Bolsheviki. Mr. Kro
der has a good stage appearence. kik<
other acts, Griffiths presided at th«
piano when the occasion demanded.
Two pretentious sketches, ‘the Cab
aret" and “The New Judge” wen
over well, served to introduce severa
well rendered songs, a good recitation
Jones, rough house dance and 1 ht
N’ew Judge” ending with a finale foi
he evening’s shout in which the cn
tiro company joined in.
Those in these two sketches were
I\T. Hause, F. Bishop, J. Jackson
G. Gullufsen, L.T. Griffiths, D.H
Wallis, K. C. Gehres, J.S. Overholt
W S. Marshal and M.T. Shrode.
T.T. Hause was musical director;
W.K. Nash was stage manager, hotl
•bowing efficiency; Lieut. Frank Luk
el exercised his authority, ably as
•sted by Surgeon Grove Baldwin, the
four, and tho company at large bein;*
responsible for an evening that wil'
be remembered for some time by the
people of Seward as one enjoyed im
mensely.
hen one considers that there is no
piano aboard the Saturn and that lirr
ited quarters prevented detailed re
hearsals, the vaudeville show was a
jitn dandy and demonstrated the ver
i»ility nf those n charge and the per
'orniers themselves.
The seating last night was of the bes>
an<l was in charge of Chief Yeoman
H.T. Hawley and Chief gunner’s mate
J.F. King.
The vaudeville show brought out
society folks in evening clothes and
taken from all angles was the biggest
af‘air given in Seward since last win
ter.
Lieut. Frank Luckel proved the fact
that he has a good company of enter
tainers aboard.
The A.R. Hall never looked prettier
with flag decorations and Capt. Luck
el stated today that the decorations
would remain intact until after the
dance to be given the officers and
crew of the Saturn Saturday night by
the Citizen* of Seward.

MILITARY INTERESTS OF CENTRAL
POWERS HURT BY EMMIGRATION
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 8— The military and political
interests of the Central powers in the war have been enor
mously damaged by the emigration of 1.000.000 Hangar
,an nion to the United States from 1000 to 1014, says Erne
rich Ferenciz,, a Professor of the University of Budapest
in the Morddeutsche Algemeine Zeitung. The professoi
demanded that the emigration of Hungarian farm hand.1
diould be diverted from the United States to Germany.
1 f nothing is done to counteract the attraction of Aim
rica. asserts the Professor, Hungary, which has already
'ost about 2.000,000 sons in war, will be further drained of
masses of capable workers, women • and children will be
drafted for manual work, marriages and births decline,
mortality and disease increasing and military strength bf
impaired. •
ITALY TO SOLVE PROBLEM TO
KEEP WAR CAPITAL EMPLOYED.
ROME, Aug. 8—“ To keep war capital occupied after
the war is at once the greatest problem and the greatest
danger of our tomorrow, when the war is over, says the
newspaper, Popolo Romano.” At present we have enor
nous sums in circulation because of money invested in
war industries- We should now begin to derive plans to
keep this fluid money working, to make sure that Italy
will not be subject to the process known as dumping, a
pi ocess which destroys home industry.”
NEW SYSTEM FOR NERVE STRICKEN
PARIS, Aug. 8— Lientenant Herbert of the French
Navy has invented a new system of intensive training for
soldiers whose nervous systems have been weakened by
prolonged war strain.^ The main features of the system
consists of climbing trees, running on the hands, rolling on
he ground, and fording streams.
LITTLE SHIP WEIGHT IN COIN
Cardiff, Wales, Aug. 8— A litle British sailing ves
sel the “Good Intent" carrying 68 tons of cargo and built
128 years ago, has just been sold for three times her ori
ginal cost. ,
