'sum which will run well into the thous I
ands.
As lias been the case during the
past two seasons all parties billed to
other points other than the West-11

handled from the Anchorage office. |

COPPER RIVER OFFICIAL
F. A. Hansen, General manager of i
; the Copper River & Northwestern
I Railroad, who passed thru town a few
; days ago on his way to Anchorage,
! will return to Seward this evening on
t
his way back to headquarters. Mr.
J Hansen, a few years ago, was a mem
'ber of the engineering staff, Alaska
Railroad.
A complete replica of the “back
! stage” regions of one ol the largest, J
: vaudeville theatres in the country j
! was constructed at the Metro-Gold- >
! wyn-Mayer .studios recently, where a j ,
i 11
j complete vaudeville show was staged, ; I
; a number of vaudeville acts special
! ly employed from a circuit for this
purpose for “Upstage,” which Monta
Bell directed with Norma Shearer in
the leading role. The picture comes
to the Liberty theatre tomorow only.
The actors not only performed
their acts, but arranged their “props”
just as it is done behind the scenes
in vaudeville theatres.
The story is an intimate picture of
~4
life on a vaudeville circuit with Miss “
Shearer starring as a vaudeville ac
tress. Shoosipg the vaudeville folk
for the picture was a process unique
in the history of the studio.
Oscar Shaw, himself a vaudeville
performer, plays opposite the star in
ths film.
