When you are sick it’s CARE
you want. _
The vaudeville attraction, given by j
local talent, at the Empress last night,
was good and worthy of the large au-j
dience. The people of Anchorage re-1
sponded generously to the cause and!
the affair was a success both finan-;
daily and dVamatically. Not that the!
peopel in the audience were all Irish,
nor were all the performers Irish, but
there is something in the mere mention '
of the name that breathes good nature ;
that was displayed while they patient-;
ly sat and waited for the “hand of!
time to point to the hour of eight,” as ;
advertised. While the doors were j
thrown open to the waiting crowd of I
ticket buyers at 7:30 it was all a mis-1
take about the curtain rising prompt
ly at 8 o’clock; it was 8:21. What a
hit the next modern Belascos could
make if they really started on time;
it would be an anomaly.
But then the orchestra carried the
audience back to the bogs of Ireland
and the home of the Shamrock on the
airs of the soft Irish melodies and the
time was pleasantly spent.
As is permissable in vaudevills cir
cles, the management can switch the
numbers if they care to and this was
done. Tommie McLaughlin, who is
typical, was the first to appear and
blushing) y placed the card on the baby
easel. Tommie got a hand.
The Misses Harmon, al ways popular
with an Anchorage audience, were
well received and responded to an en
core.
Why they called Mrs. P. J. McDon
ald’s performance a reading is not
known; it was a whole show. She apt
ly portrayed the character of the cul
lered washwoman and made a hit. .
Mrs. A. Christensen delighted the
audience by two well rendered vocal
solos that materially added to the
pleasure of the evening. Mrs. Ander
son was the accompanist.
“The First American,” in native
dress of war bonnet, heads, feathers,
etc., gave a good exhibition of the war
dance.
There are some comparisons that
are not odious and the contrast in the
art of dancing during America’s his
tory was beautifully and gracefully
portrayed by the clasical dancing of
Miss Freddie O’Connor, whose efforts
did fair to rival the famous Pavlowa.
That her artistic exhibition was ap
preciated was evidenced by the contin
ued applause that forced Miss O’Con
nor to repeat.
Ireland’s representative failed to
show but the canny Scot made up for
the omission. In the highland fling,
Mr. Brown was great but would have
been much better in the plaid kilts and
the bonnet of blue. It is a supposi
tion that Mr. Brown had previously
appeared in the war dance and it is a
far cry from the tom tom and war
dress to bagpipes and kilts and all the
dressing space was taken, there were
women in the company.
Mrs. Nastrom and W. Bjomson,
dressed in the striking costumes of
Sweden, gave a perfect exhibition of
their national dances. The artistic
contrast in colors of dress, combined
with the grace and perfection of the
performers, who danced to the equally
perfect time of Mrs. Ericson, was one
of the features of the evening. They
too danced an extra, because the au
dience insisted.
This was followed by a buxom lady,
dressed the part, who gave a good im
itation of the cake-walk, made famous
by the southern negroes. To make the
number a complete burlesque, the cul
lered society lady was imitated by the
original washwoman.
Miss Deedie Blodgett, of Knik, ap
peared as an extra number in a guitar
solo and captivated the audience by
her talents. It was unfortunate that
one of the guitar strings broke, but
Miss Blodgett was forced to appear
for a curtain call.
The next was an Irish sketch and
the curtain rose on a typical Irish
shanty scene as so often depicted by
Puck and other periodicals, that deal
with the humorous at the expense of
the Irish. Mrs. A. . Walters, as Mag
gie, the daughter, was the genius of
the sketch, and as a German, Mrs.
Walters plays the part of the Irish
washerwoman letter perfect nor is
she without vocal talent and is es
pecially apt in repartee. The balance
of the family was represented by Mrs.
Sheehan, as mother, Johnny Kaceros
ky, as father, and Arthur Frodenberg,
as son. The scene was typical and
well staged. Maggie sang as she
worked over the tub, mother chewed
gum, and father drank and smoked.
Mrs. Martha White, elaborately
dressed, played the part of the rich
contractor’s wife to perfection and her
entrance on the scene to take “lash
ings” with the family met with loud
applause as did her rendition of the
Irish song.
Mother White is always popular on
any stage or any act in life and de
servedly so. Mrs. A. G. Thompson,
dressed to kill, also called for her cup
of tea and carried her part splendidly.
Mrs. Thompson had a natural part to
play, being abundantly endowed with
a perfect sense of humor and native
wit. The flash of wit that passed be
tween Maggie, father and Mrs.
Thompson was very, very good. Es
pecially is this true in regard to the
local hits on the secretiveness of the
A. E. C. and the marked efficiency
and courtesy of the postoffice depart
ment. These two got what was com-,
ing to them and the audience gave ev
idence of their approval by applaud
ing long and vociferously. The Times,
given up to be the best newspaper in
Alaska, came in for a fair share of
publicity, and it was cruelly dry, but it
is some honor to be a celebrity.
Vvith Maggie as the prima donna,
the troupe joined in a half circle and
incidentally in the chorus of I-R-E
L-A-N-D as the curtain went down -in
the sketch that was well received and
was the hit of the evening.
But the class of the evening’s en
tertainment goes to Miss O’Connor
and Mr. Keyes, who gave a splendid
exhibition of parlor dancing.
The scene was switched from the re
diculous to the sublime as Mrs. W.
Clayton, accompanied by Mrs. Ander
son, sustained her reputation as a vo
calist of note. Mrs. Clayton’s rendi
tions more than came up to expecta
tions and she was called and recalled
nor was the audience satisfied with
the second encore but had to be sat
isfied with a graceful curtain bow.
The Preparedness drills given by
the primary school children, was well
executed and ended two hours of
pleasure and entertainment due to the
efforts of the ladies of the Catholic
church and the courtesy of local ar
tists of marked talent.

Fresh Ranch Eggs!!
75c the Dozen
As long as they last we will continue to sell fresh ranch eggs fresh from the
outside ex launch Rosebud, at the same price. These eggs were shipped direct to
Seldovia from Seattle where the Rosebud was waiting to receive them. They were
transshipped direct to Anchorage, coming in on the first vessel to bring fresh sup
plies to this city in 1917. Included in the shipment were fresh oranges, lemons,
grapefruit, and onions. Our Oranges and Grape Fruit are sold out, but we yet have
Fresh Lemons and Onions
These also are selling' rapidly, and if you have a hankering for fresh food place
your order with us at once. While we are talking about things which are good to
eat it is only fair to call your attention to the fact that we have a large supply of
Swift’s Premium Hams
and Bacon
Of which it is necess*ary to say nothing more.
