TULENTED VIOLINIST, I
FORMER SHOD GIRL;
ENROUTE NORTH SOON
Vilma Bazant, the most noted vio
linist from Alaska ever to have ap
peared on the concert stages of the
world will soon return to Seward, her
former home for many years, accord
ing to cards received from the talent,
ed young lady, in the last mail.
It may .sound like a fairy tale, but
it Is not. Indeed, there are hundreds
of good folk up in Thane,Juneau, La
•touche, and in Seward, who remember
well the little tot of a girl named Vil
ma Bazant and when she first came ;
to the Territory.
The great artist who now returns i
after all these years is the same
“Little Vilma’’ whom they applauded
so often. She is the same boyish totj
for whom her hosts of friends and 1
admirers prophesied a great career, j
For a long time these glowing proph- \
esies seemed much like the sunlitj
mists that overhung the glaciers and
mountain peaks back of the home of
the Bazants in many corners of the l
Territory
Then, one evening little Vilma was j
asked to play fof a gentleman from
New York, who happened to be visit
ing a friend in a log cabin that nestled
in the woods back of Seward. The slip
I of a girl never realized that that night
it was Dame Fortune herself who
guided her bowhand which helped to
win a prominent art patron’s heart
^for her cause. Namely, the one who
discovered the spark of genius in the
child was no other thap Mr. Corne
lius Vanderbilt Whitney.
Six years later an enthusiastic
New York critic wrota:
“Vilma Bazant is an artist from
Alaska who brings io us a New Mes
[ sage rugged and rousing in its depth j
land sincerety”.
The New York Press: “Bohemian |
and Huguenot ancestors have given
Vilma Bazant emotion and character.;
Alaska enriched her art with inspir- j
ing virility.”
The former Seward girl is looking
forward with keen interest to her j
visit and truly her friends in Sew-j
ard must be legion judging from the ;
many who so kindly called The Gate
way’s attention to her coming.
REV. THOMAS LECTURING
Rev. William A. Thomas, former
pastor of the Seward and Anchorage
Episcopal churches, sends his regards
to his many friends in a letter which
has just been received in Seward from
the popular preacher of the gospel.
Incidentally, he enclosed a remittance
towards the local tennis court for, he
says, he enjoyed many fine games on
it. Reverand Thomas wrote from Man
istique, Mich , but apparantly his of
fice is in New York City for his sta
tionery carries that address. He is
lecturing on Arctic Alaska a few of
his subjects being “The Episcopal
church among the Eskimos,” and “Six
years of winter travel with a dog
team.”
