NOT AWARE BRITAIN CONTROL
LED FIRMAMENT IN ADDITION
TO THE WAVES
Bennie Benson is highly indignant.
Bennie is also hurt.
He is indignant because William
Simpson of Vancouver, B. C., says he
copied Simpson’s design for the Alas
ka flag.
He is hurt because Stroller White,
in quoting Simpson, referred to him
as a “breed” pupil at the Jesse Lee
Home.
Bennie says he would be proud to be
called an Aleut, or a white boy, but
the use of the term “breed” is too of
ten employed as an obnoxious term.
However, Bennie strikes back at Mr.
Simpson something like Jack Demp
sey shot that punch to the centre of
Mr. Sharkey’s warehouse.
“I was not aware that Great Britain
in addition to claiming to rule the
waves, included the firmament with
the Big Dipper and the1 North Star.”
Zowle! Mr. Referee count slowly.
Bennie rallied from the sting of
Mr. Simpson's aspersions of plagarism
long enough to allow his fighting blood
to rise. He says the children of the
Jesse Lee Home are taught something
different from deceit and falsehood.
He is not in the habit of employing
either. As for Mr/ Simpson, he has
never heard of the gentleman, nor that
there was anyone in Canada laboring
to give the Dominion a distinctive
flag of its own. He has always seen
i the Union Jack serving as the em
blem of Britain’s “Dominions beyond
the seas.v
But Bennie is willing to do the rTgTit
thing by King George V., Emperor of
India, Defender of the Faith, Ruler of
the Waves, Master of the Jam Trust,
Five O’Clock Tea and Cornish Pasties.
If he can be shown that he has trans
gressed international law, the cove
nant of the League of Nations and the
Versailles treaty, he is willing to
offer his apoligies to King George to
prevent war.
As Oapt. Ralph Guthrie with a squad
of doughboys, raised the flag and it
was accepted by the American Legion
Bennie believes he has, as Mark
Twain suggested, “his gang” with him
if anybody starts something.
HIS SECREIAIY” AT
THE LIBERTY TONIGHT
\
Hobart Henley believes that he has
another picture that is as human and
delightful as “The Gay Old Dog,” the
picture that has always been the fav
orite of all he has ever directed.
“The Gay Old Dog” was produced
several years ago, and though not at
the time a great box-office success,
Henley believes that if it had been
produced now, it would have been a
sensation.
However, he has in "His Secretary”,
the picture coming to the Liberty
theatre tonight, one of the most
charming stories ever written. Norma
/Shearer plays the girl, and has given
one of the most interesting protrayals
of her career.
Her employers are played by I^ew
Cody and Willard Louis, as the law
firm of Colman and Sloden. Other
members of the cast are Mabel Van
Buren, Karl Dane, Gwen Lee, Estelle
Clark and Ernest Gillen.
The story was written by Carey
Wilson, and adapted to the screen by
Hope Loring and Louis B. Lightoa.
Dr. L. von Zesch, well known dent
ist, who has been located in Nome for
the past few years and who recently
came out via airplane to Fairbanks,
is a returning passenger on the Yukon.
A dollar saved is a dollar earned,
and so the shoe repair shop is a serv
ice station on the road to wealth.
