AT JUNEAU HERDQOARTEOS
I Colonel J. G. Steese, president of
the Alaska Road Commission and U.
S. district engineer, is back at his
Juneau headquarters, according to re
cent word received locally.Colonel
Steese has been absent from Juneau
since early last fall. He attended the

MARCH 18,20,1867, WERE
MEMORABLE HITS 1LASK1
Alaskans, and especially school
children are urged to. remember
March 18 and 30, 1867, and observe
those two days as-memorable in the
history of the Territory. On the
first date, the Territory was formally
transferred by the Russian Imperial
Government to the United States of
America, and the Russian flag sup
erceded by the Stars and Stripes
over the Governor’s castle at Sitka;
and on the latter date Secretary of
State, William H. Seward formally
signed the treaty of transfer. An |
interesting account of the event, to
gether with a biographic sketch of
Seward appears in the last issue of
the Alaskan school bulletin.

“PARIS AT MIDNIGHT"
IT LIBERTY TONIGHT
When Frances Marion’s Metro
politan production of “Paris at Mid
night” is shown at the Liberty theatre
tonight, lovers of Balzac and especial
ly those who have read his famous
novel, “Pere Goriot,” upon which the
picture is based, will see the interior
of a celebrated boarding house of
Balzac’s day where most of the ac
tion of the story transpires.
During the filming of the picture, Li
onel Barrymore and Emil Chautard,
who have prominent roles, and E.
Mason Hopper, director, were on fa
miliar ground. All of them had been
regular patrons of the famous Van
quier boarding house during their re
spective stays in Paris, so that they
became thoroughly familiar with the
surroundings. Balzac knew the place
so well that he described it in his
novel, “Pere Goriot,” from which
“Paris at Midnight” was adapted by
Frances Marion.
Chautard, one of the best-known
actors in France, frequently took his
brother Paul, then a laboratory assist
ant at the Polytechnic school, to the
Pension Vauquier for lunch, at a cost
of 23 cents each.
An outstanding feature of the man
agement of the -place is the long-term
credit frequently extended to students.
It was not uncommon for a student to
run his bill up for five or six years,
with the understanding that it would
be paid when he had a successful prac
tice, or until he got married.
The cast features such successful
screen artists as Jetta Goudal, Lionel
Barrymore, Mary Brian and Edmund
Burns. In the supporting cast are
Brandon Hurst, Jocelyn Lee, Mathilde
Comont and Jean De Briac.
