THE LITTLE THEATER CLUB
A year or so a small group of ambitious and talent
ed young local folk, organized the Seward Little Theater
Club. As the months passed the roster slowly grew as
occasional theatricals were produced and presented for
the entertainment of not only the members, but also,
the general public. And never, were the audiences dis
appointed.
But last evening's presentation of “The Patsy” lit-!
erally swept the attendance off its feet The histrionics!
revealed were amazing; never was a $3 show in the best
of theaters in the States more thoroughly enjoyed.
To every member of the perfectly selected cast,
to all who gave of their time but especially to the direc
tor, Mrs. P. C. McMullen whose patience was unlimited
according to her staff of artists, the indispensable founda
tion for successful work, congratulations are extended |
for their great achievement. It was a triumph long to be !
remembered by theater-goers who enjoyed every mo
ment of the three hour performance.
“Thine own theatre art thou.” —Emerson.
“The poor fish.” So that's where it originated! We
have heard that expression many times and have heard
ourself described similarly (behind our back) but not
until we saw yesterday's dispatch in which evolutionists
said there is an inescapable resemblance between fish
and man; that a specie which they have been experi
menting with, have the lowest order of brains. So we
guess that at one time, eons ago, we were but tadpoles
jumping hither and yon or coursing our way with many
a jazzy wriggle, through slime and mud. The poor fish! !
**********#!«: j
Mrs. Si grid E. Rineberg, a former resident of Sew-!
ard who has been Outside for the past several years and |
who is one of the many Gateway's most faithful sub- i
scribers, writes that she “thinks The Gateway is such
an interesting newspaper that I would miss it very
much if I should not get it.” Without exaggeration, we
might safely say this seems to be the attitude of the
majority of our gorwing list of subscribers. The Gate
way is published in the smallest incorporated town in
the 2nd, 3rd and 4th divisions of Alaska yet has the lar
gest circulation. There's a reason, of course.
Solons Hellerich and Allyn of the Alaska Legisla
ture are to be congratulated for introducing a bill seek
ing repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry law. The repeal is
baged in the interests of humanity; it is now legally im
possible to obtain liquor for medicinal purposes even
in extreme need and equally illegal to obtain alsohol for
use by druggists in compounding essential medicines;
that such alcohol can be imported into the Territory
only by stealth.
* ***********
The Gateway would like to be informed by the Alas
ka Railroad alleged industrial department what that de
partment has accomplished during the years it has been
in force accept drawing down fat appropriations? We
hear a lot a “hooey” but action in the way of new devel
opment has been nill. True, brother, true, there are about
15 new homesteaders after at least two years of
effort, but how about miners and prosepectors?

Poor Estelle Taylor Dempsey. She would rather
follow her “career” than enjoy homelife with Jack.
Remember Estelle 20 years hence.

Now that the Territory has the five cent cigar, all
it needs is the nickle.
