TO BT GIVEN
The Choral Union of Anchorage,
which for some weeks past has been
working on Cowen's “Rose Maiden”
has progressed so far in working up
this beautiful cantata that the club
has announced its recital for the sec
ond week in March. M. C. Dolliver is
the very capable and inspiring direct
or of the organization. As to the
■membership, anyone who has a love
for music is invited to the practice
hours when he will be informed of
what service he can be in the prepa
ration for the concert. The practices
are held every Tuesday evening at 8
o’clock. The club is strictly an all
town affair and although its practice
is held in the Presbyterian church,
there is no reason for this aside from
the convenience of the location and
the courtesy of the church people.
That Anchorage should have such
an organization as this is a matter
for congratulation. Usually only
towns of much larger population than
our own undertake anything of this
character but the progress made is
absolute guarantee that the March
concert will be a decided success.
Any who are interested in furthering
the work of the club or desire to as
sist in the singing are asked to attend
the first practice of the year which
will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, even
ing, at 8 in the church.
A fair-sized crowd saw the wres
tling match at Kobarts’ hall Saturday
night between Nels Jepson and Bob
Peterson but excitement, enthusiasm
and noise made up for lack of attend
ance. Kincaid and Aumann put on a
20-minute exribition for a prelimi
nary, with Young Viking as referee,
that was very good.
Jimmie Ross acted as official an
nouncer and introduced the wrestlers
for the main event and Kincaid offi
ciated as referee.
Ross announced Jepson’s weight as I
162 pounds and Peterson’s 160. The |
spectators thought there was a great
er difference in the weight and one
enthusiast wanted to get Loussac’s
scales and prove the assertipn, but
the crowd wouldn’t stand for the de- J
lay. It was apparent from the first I
that Peterson was not in the best of
physical shape. The fans have want
ed to see Jepson in action so they
could get a line on him. Saturday
night’s exhibition won him many
friends in Anchorage who are now
thoroughly convinced that he is a
wrestler and a good one. Jepson won
the first fall in nine minutes, using
the head scissors and bar arm hold to
win the fall. Peterson got out of |
many bad holes but the result was j
inevitable. He repeated and won the j
second fall in the six minutes by the
same hold. The excitement and inter
est was intense and the spectators be
came imbued with the sporting spirit
and cheered loud and long when Jim
mie Ross announced that Andy Mar
tin would take on the winner. Andy
was a spectator at the match Satur
day night and says that he realizes
he will have a tough match with Jep
son. This match will probably take i
place within two weeks and will be!
worth going many miles to witness. |
Several bets were made on this match
yesterday1 and was the chief topic of
conversation around the town and in '
Robarts, the sporting headquarters.
Other sporting events are on the cal
endar, but the Martin-Jepson wres
tling match will be anxiously awaited
by the devotees of wrestling in An- ,
■horage.
ABSOLUTELY AUTHENTIC PIC
TURES OF ITALY AT l^AR
WITH AUSTRIA AT THE
HARMONY.
I'o Be Repeated Tonight for the Last 1
Time.
If you were at the Harmony thea
tre Saturday night this only confirms
what you saw. If you were one of
the disappointed ones who came late
and could not get in, come tonight,
for this is the last showing of “Italy
at War With Austria.” This is the
greatest of all war pictures and is ab
solutely authentic.
These pictures were taken with the
and and permission of the General
Staff of the Italian war office, scenes
showing vast crowds in the principal
cities of Italy when war was declared,
King Victor Emanuel on nis way to
the front, tens of thousands of sol
diers being mobilized, the famous bi
cycle corps of Italy in action, thou
sands of big guns bombarding the
city of Plava, building a pontoon
bridge over the Isonzo river under
fire, batteries .of machine guns in ac
tion, the city of Plava in flames, and
the Austrians in retreat, “close-up”
scenes of piles of dead soldiers and
writhing wounded ones.
How a camera man could calmly
turn the crank of his camera and
take these pictures is a mystery, not
counting his chances for instant
death.
These pictures exceed in magnitude
and are more terrible than any that
have ever been artificially staged in
the greatest of war dramas.
As these films must be returned im
mediately to Seattle this is the last
time that they will be shown.
The Ladies’ Guild will meet tomor
row (Tuesday) afternoon at 2:30
o’clock at the new parish home on
the corner of 3rd avenue and K street.
All ladies of Anchorage who are in
terested in this class of work are
cordially invited to be present.
