The people of Anchorage certainly
are fond of dancing and there is a rea
son for this, too. No one can resist
the splendid floor of the Alaska Labor
Union hall nor the congeniality that
pervades the place nor the hospitality
of the boys who are in charge of the
different affairs given in celebration
of the completion of their temple.
Last night’s Barn dance was no ex
ception to the rule and the hall was
crowded by a strictly cosmopolitan
crowd that gave vent to their exuber
ant feelings. It was in the air and
everybody entered into the spirit of
the affair. This, too, was true of the
large number of spectators who filled
the mezzazine floor, for they caught
the feeling of gayety and encored
every dance.
Old fashioned dances were the feat
ure of the evening and made a hit.
Dolliver’s orchestra proved versatile
and played a Virginia reel equally as
well as the “Sympathy” waltz. Then
there was the old fashioned quadrille,
and it was the swing of this music
that really got the crowd of merry
dancers started, for from then on “joy
was unconfined.”
The encores from the mezzazine
floor called for three numbers of the
old fashioned minuet and the efforts
and noise of the real bam dance re
sulted in an uproar of applause. The
costumes were many and varied, and
included dainty pinafores, middies,
shirt waists, skirts, house dresses and
other kinds. The clothes (men’s) re
sembled Joseph’s coat in colors and
combination but it doesn’t make much
difference what they wore, except pos
sibly the ones who really came “dress
ed up.” These suffered the penalty of
a fine, nor was Judge Charlie Peters
at all lenient. This judge of the Kan
garoo court had an able assistant in
Clerk Jack Sutherland and the mar
shals headed by Lena Morrow Lewis.
The culprits readily paid and the
ones who partly disrobed were caught
and given the extreme penalty. This
all helped to swell the receipts of the
evening and was generally taken In
the prevailing spirit of fun.
Punch was served continually dur
ing the evening and the dancers were
loath to leave but unanimously agreed
to be on hand tonight when the Labor
Union boys will be hosts at an equally
pleasant affair, viz. the Folk dances.
