THE BEAUTIFUL CITY'
WHITTEN FOR SCREEN
“The Beautiful City," Richard Bar-1
thelmess’ newest picture, now at the
Liberty theatre, is one of the few mo
tion pictures written directly and orig
inally for the screen.
“The Beautiful City” is the work
of Edmund Goulding, a clever young
Englishman who is now a director.
He adapted Joseph Hergesheimer’s
story, “Tol’able David,” to the screen
as Mr. Barthelmess’ first starring ve
hicle. The ultimate success of “Tor
able David,” now considered one
the half-dozen classics of the screen,
is a matter of film history. Mr. Gould
ing wrote “Fury” directly for the
screen for Mr. Barthelmess* use and
later rewrote it into a popular novel.
Finally Mr. Goulding transferred
his first impressions of New York
to paper in writing “The Beautiful
City.” He made a young Italian im
igrant, Tony Gillardi, his hero and
built his story around the lad’s read
justments to the new land of prom
ise. When he outlined the story to
Mr. Barthelmess, the young star im
mediately saw its great acting .possi
bilities. So “The Beautiful City was
purchased! and the filming started.

ON BEIEINT LIST
Official announcement of the retire
ment from the postal service of Alvah j
Eames, former resident of Seward, |
has been received. The announce
ment appeared in the February issue
of “Railway Mail Service,” under the
general Seattle orders, and reads as
follows:
“Alvah Eames, assistant scheme
clerk, this office, was retired Febru
ary 16, 1927, after nearly thirty-seven
and a half years of faithful service.
“Mr. Eames was originally appoint
ed to the Port Townsend and Seattle,
RPO June 29, 1889, and began service
in that line on August 24, same year.
On April 14, 1890, he was transferred
to the old Spokane Falls, Wn„ and
Portland, Or., RPO; on 21, 1891, he
transferred to the Seattle, Wn., and
Portland, Or., RPO, where he per
formed service until May, 1900, when
he was1 detailed as chief clerk to open
a newly established office of chief
clerk, RMS, at Valdez, Alaska. He
served in this position at Valdez, Cor
dova and Seward, respectively, until
December, 1925, when he left Alaska
on account of failing health^and on
April 14, 1926, he transferred to a va
cancy in this office where he served
until date of retirement.
“Mr. Eames always showed excep
tional ability and accuracy in the per
formance of his duties. These, with
conspicuous fidelity and loyalty to the
Department were the outstanding char
acteristics of his long years of service.
“The best wishes of all his associ
ates follow him.”
Many Alaskans who have known Mr.
Eames intimately both in social inter
course and in the performance of his
official duties, will subscribe to the
above sentiment, through appreciation
his many outstanding qualities. He
did much to improve Alaskan mail
service and given the best service pos-11
sible under exceptionally difficult con- i
ditions. It was he who secured the j
sorting of mail in transit from the j
States whereby large individual and j
firm mail was assembled in individual
units, greatly expediting delivery
and lifting the burden from Alaskan
postmasters.
