POTLATCH DRAWS
LARGE CROWD
The Pioneer Potlatch which \va;
held at th* large Eagle Ha-i la-1
* r; wds that has •r i - I
ir. Nome this season assembled at
the hall, where a program, which
was pronounced excellent, was ren*
dered and dancing to music of the
best was indulged in. Miss Gladys
Collier was elected Queen of the
Potlatch and received the hearty
congratulations of her many friends
at the finish of the contest.
The program was enjoyed im
mensely by every one according to
reports. The program was opened
with the Honorable John A. Wilson
delivering an address of welcome to
the large audience. Mr. Wilson is
v very capable speaker and his ad
dress was received with tremendous
applause from the audience.
Next on the program. Miss Jessie
Newton, with Mrs. J. Stan groom at
the piano, rendered n vocal selec
tion in a voice well adapted for the
rendition <>f such a number. Miss
i Newton's singing and Mrs. Stan
i groom’s accompaniment at thp
piano was a real enjoyable -number
and at the finish the audience ap
plauded continuously for a repetI
T'nfortunateJy Gerald Fitzgerald
was unable to obtain the kind of
drawing material for the construc
tion of Cartoons and was unable to
go on with his number, altho desir
ing to be of service in making the
evening an enjoyable one.
The third number was Frank Du
fresne with his cornet. Dufresne
rendered a very touching solo on the
Cornet which was enjoyed by every
one present. Frank is a versatile
genuis and does everything well
that he attempts.
Robert James recitation of “The
Alaska Blue Forget-me-not” was
delivered in a masterful way that
will long he remembered by those
prese-nt. Mr. James Is a very force
ful speaker and puts his lines over
with plenty vim and pep so to speak. ;
Two other numbers which were '
scheduled to show did not appear
and so following Robert James came ;
Michael Kennedy in the ‘^Pioneer j
Song"and to use the everyday slang.
•Mike’s got ’em.” when it comes to
putting over a song, the audience ■
testified to this when Mike had fin
ished his number. Mike protested |
before going on. that his throat was
a bit dusty, dnd he had a slight cold,
but he would try it any way. and if
he had succeeded any more than he
diil in pleasing the audience the
show would have lasted another
hour, as Mike would have been un
able to get off the stage.
John .Hancock delivered a recrea
tion known as "The Wreck of the
Julia La Plant." and "believe me
folks.” that Hancock person is there
with a wicked line of comedy him
self. the audience received John’s
number with an applause that made
the hall ring like a bell.
Next came a comedy skit. "Mark
Anthony and Cleopatra in the Dance
of Death or Appendicitis in Egypt”
in wl^ich Devnr Compton. Fred
Wylde and It. C. McDowell, afforded
the audience twenty minutes of
good wholesome, clean comedy, Com
ptonte interpretation, of Cleopatra
in burlesque was a real kick, manv
young ladies attending the even
ing’s performance stated that Comp
ton would make a swell young
lady, from h.is actions, "we wonder.”
Fred Wylde’s lines of Mark Anthony
was a thrill. Fred showed that he
has had quiet a bit of experience
with fencing foils, Fred produced
many laughs while “taking off”
Mark Anthony and the audience
seemed well pleased with the part.
It isn't good manners for any one
to knock or boost one’s self so the
a id'ence will ha' e t > >-e the judge
about McDowell’s part, ns the writer
: • too well acqua rtod w.rh him to
:: v anything for or against him.
A trio rendered a vocal selection
participated in by Robert Mills, Dan
Withers, and R. C. McDowell which
was well applauded by the audience.
Five reels of Motion Pictures
which were photographed by Frank
Kleinschmidt were shown and the
audience were treated to some real
interesting scenes which were taken
by Kleinschmidt during his travels
thru Alaska. The pictures were
shown by the Code-Clark Show Co.
with Norvin Lewis operating the
machine.
The presentation to the Queen of
the Potlatch was made by Federal
Judge G. J. Lomen in a very ap
propriate manner. The dancing
was enjoyed very much and the
music was pronounced some of the
host that Nome has had tn a long
