“WELL FER GOODNESS SAKE!”
Editor, Seward Gateway;
We do not know a more fitting way to wish you and
your staff a happy and prosperous New Year than to tell
you th&t during 1927 The Gateway was quoted four times
in our motion picture of wit and humor—TOPICS OF
THE DAY.
When your paper reaches us each morning along
with several hundred other publications, it soon finds
its place to the desk of one of our many staff readers.
There every page is perused for jokes, witty sayings or
pertinent editorial paragraphs that are considered by our
editors to be acceptable for TOPICS OF THE DAY.
It is not a small matter to be able to say that the name
of your newspaper was projected on the screens of over
3,000 theatres before an approximate audience of 15,000,
000 people each week at four different times during the
past 12 months. It is a matter upon which you should
rightfully be congratulated and this letter is our method
of offering you our felicitations for this excellent show
ing.
Very truly yours,
Timely Film, Inc., Topics of The Day, New York City.

If our legislators can’t hit on a practical means of
flood control they might invoke the spirit of King Canute.
One difference between a toreador and a politician
is that the former doesn’t shoot the bull.
If some naval critics had their way we should have
only companionate Secretaries of the Navy.
How those old Puritans would have enjoyed the title
of the current song hit, “My Blue Heaven.”
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., says that “law, good or bad,
should be obeyed.’’ And “should’’ is the correct word.
Many an office holder gets sworn in, and then gets
cussed out.
Why hasn’t some political party that believes in hon
esty m government, adoptecj the bull as its emblem?

NOT DEAD VET SAYS JIM
To prove to his legion of friends
that he has not been dead, as was re
ported, for the last two years, Jimmy
Collins, one of the best known of the
old time mining men in the country,
bar none, returned to Seward last
night from the States. His friends
say he is the liviest looking alleged
corpse they ever saw. Far from be
ing planted and pushing up daisies
Collins says he hasn’t had a sick day
“since ‘Heck’ was a pup” and where
the rumor orginated that he had pas
sed over the Jong trail, he is at a
loss to explain.

That Famous Old Play
“The Music Master”
That swept the country by storm as a stage
production
LOIS MORAN — NEIL HAMILTON
ALEX B. FRANCIS — NORMAN TREVOR
Head the Cast
DIRECTED BY ALLEN DWAN
\
A beautiful, dramatic production. Nothing
can surpass the fine old plays to stir the pulse
and awaken deep emotions. And this picture
reproduction is /far better than the original
stage one of 20 years ago.
Full of stirring situations. America’s best lov
ed stage play turned into a movie masterpiece.
A wonderful tale of an old music master who
was once the leader of a great orchestra—his
search for his daughter, and his revenge on the
man who stole his wife.
ONE OF THE FEW PLAYS THAT WILL
NEVER DIE.
