Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

HRIKIIESS IT THE
LIBERTY TONICHT IK
I NEW COMEDY HIT
“SHORE LEAVE” FROM BELASCO
SUCCESS, PROVES IDEAL
ROLE FOR STAR
“Shore Leave” showing tonight at
the Liberty theatre, provides Richard
Barthelmess with another delightful
ly amusing characterization, that of
“Bilge” Smith, a happy-go-lucky sail
or in Uncle Sam’s Atlantic fleet.
Barthelmess gives a delightful per
formance of the “gob.” The New
York critics pronounced it to be his
best work in some time. Although
this is the young star’s second comedy
role in a short time, the other being
the distraught husband of ‘ New
Toys,” it is not generally known that
Barthelmess made his first film suc
cess as a comedian.
With Miss Gish, Barthelmess ap
" peared in “The Hope Chest,” “Boots,”
> “Peppy Polly” and “I’ll Get You Yet.”
That was back in 1918. Shortly after
he made his sensational hit in Grif-.
fith’s “Broken Blossoms.” After that
Barthelmess had no further opportuni
ties to work in the field of comedy
until “New Toys.”
This is comedy year on the screen,
however, and, following his success in
“New Toys,” Barthelmess decided to
j try another comedy. “Shore Leave,”
which had been a successful Broad
way production as presented by David
Belasco, was secured, the co-operation
of the United States Navy was ob
tained and the production was made.
Now “Shore Leave” is recorded by
the film authorities as one of the big
. hits of the year.

LONDON, Dec. 7. (/P) — English
girls with a good pair of legs are
quite unusual, according to Sir Wil
liam Arbuthnot Lane, noted British
physician, but the answer of several
persons well qualified to speak is a
decided “English girls’ legs are not
ugly.”
“So many English girls nowadays
are bow-legged or knockkneed,” Sir
William says, attributing these physi
cal defects to bad feeding in youth.
“But,” says Miss Heather Thatch
er, musical comedy actress whose own
legs are the rage of London, “English
girls’ legs have improved vastly in the
last ten years.
“Awful skirts, ugly stockings and
ill-fitted shoes were hardly coducive
to shapely legs ten years ago, but
all these have changed now,” she says.
“Besides, short skirts have made nice
legs imperative.”
“Perhaps the New York girl has the
nicest legs of all, but Miss England
makes a good second,” says another
critic.
Other opinions are:
M. Peron, dress designer: “English
girls’ legs are certainly not uglier
than those of other nations.”
Miss Italia' Contin, dance instructor:
“One has simply to walk along any
street to see some simply beautiful
legs.”
Irvo Dyer, dock employe, who has
been on his annual vacation for the
last few weeks, returned from An
chorage Saturday.
Reverend Thomas, who preached lo
cally and at the Jesse Lee Home last
Sunday, left yesterday for Anchorage.
