The Greatest of Screen Stars—Mary
Pickford—In “Fanchon the
Cricket.”
No personality is so dominant in
moving pictures as that of Mary Pick
ford. It is the crystalization of mag
netism without a parallel in the his
tory of either the spoken or the silent
stage. She comes with productions
surpassing anything yet done on the
screen, supported by casts of distinc
tion, master direction and a complete
harmonizing of every detail of the art
in which she stands alone as its most
popular and favored star.

whose ability is undisputed. They
have been tried in many good parts
and never found wanting. But they
are still just excellent actors until the
magic wand of coincidence is waved
over them, and then they suddenly be
come great stars. Then there has come
that great day on which the best that
was in them Jias been brought out by
some particular role. Such is that
played by the greatest film star, Mary
Pickford, in ‘Fanchon the Cricket,” a
story that no other than Mary Pick
ford can tell in pictures. Millions of
photoplay fans have seen and pro
nounced it her supreme achievement.
Mary Pickford is to be seen in Mo

“Fanchon the Cricket,” at the Em

IS OFFICIALLY ,
WASHINGTON', April 21.— (By
Mail.)—The department of the inter
ior is patting itself on the back for
its policy in Alaska, and in a state
ment released for publication today,
under the caption, “Alaska, the Um
pire of the Future,” gives this en
lightening and lucid description of
the westward, ho, movement that fin
ally led to the gold rush to the North.
“In 1867 William H. Seward in
sisted that the United States govern
ment buy Alaska. The price paid
was $7,200,000. People scoffed and
railed and jeered at ‘Seward’s ice
box.’
“Last year the territory exported
twice her purchase price in gold j
alone, six times her purchase price in
copper and three times her purchase
price in lish. Her total commerce for
the year approached $120,000,000.
“And still Alaska is a land of thrills.
She has scarcely stepped across the
threshold of the vast prosperity that
will be hers. The half billion of dol
lars she has given these United States
during the course of the last half cen
tury will be doubled many times be
fore the century is closed. •
“An invincible frontier spirit forded
the mighty Mississippi, overcame ob
structing mountain barriers and pen
etrated to the broad Pacific. That in
vincible frontier spirit was the spirit
of the pioneer American and it is with
us still.
Steady Westward March.
“The plains of Kansas and the plac
ers of California played their part in
the steady westward movement of
American civilization. Then came the
rush to the Klondike. That brought
the first great throng of Alaska pio
neers. Many of them struck pay and
returned to the states. More of them
have struck something better and rich
er than pay—they have struck homes.
The far-famed lure of the North has
caught them, andUhey can wish for
no better.
“Montana was a famous mining
country and a great cattle region. So
was Arizona. Now they are farming
both states with rich results.
“The rush to California in '49 was
for gold. Since then California has
become one of the great agricultural
states of the Union.
And now they tell us that the
farming area alone of Alaska is as
large as the combined area of Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Vermont and New Hampshire. We are
told that Matanuska potatoes weigh
a pound and a half. We are shown
lutabagas that weigh from twelve to
fourteen pounds apiece. We are fed
lettuce and strawberries that might
have been grown in Virginia.
“Is this ‘Seward's ice box,’ ‘Sew
ard’s folly,’ ‘Seward’s Arctic polin’
bear preserve.’
No Formidable Wd lerness.
“Alaska is no longer a formidable
wilderness. Thoughtful men and wo
men realize that though it is cold in
winter it is warm in summer. Re
ports of actual weather conditions
show that it was milder at Seward
this winter than it was at New York
or Boston.
“We cannot speak of Alaska as a
whole any more than we can speak of
the Pacific slope as a whole. It is just
as misleading to speak of the Mata
nuska valley and Point Barrow in the
. n.v.c breath is it is to infer that
pomegranites will mature in Vancou
ver just because that island happens
to be circled by the same sea that laps
the beach at Coronado.
“A map of Alaska superimposed
upon a chart of the United States
shows a spread of territory extending
from the Atlantic ocean at Charleston
to the Pacific at Los Angeles, from
Canada at Lake Superior to the state
of Sonora. Her 586,400 square miles
comprise a domain one-fifth as large
as the United States and quite as
varied, both in climate and in re
sources.
“Why, then, did Alaska lie so long

WASHINGTON, I). C.—That opin
ion throughout Central and South
America is overwhelmingly with the
nited States in the war against Ger
man, was the statement made to a
newspaper representative by John
Uarrett, director-general of the I’an
American Union.
“Speaking unofficially,” said Mr.
Uarrett, “but basing by opinion on
absolutely reliable data, the public
sentiment of South and Central Amer
ica as a whole, is overwhelmingly with
the United States. Unfortunately,
there is much unwarranted misunder
standing, and considerable unfair criti
cism of some of the South and Cen
tral American countries as to where
they stand. With very few excep
tions, the press of these countries ha -
been consistently pro-ally since the
outbreak of the European war, and
now its attitude is equally pro-Ameri
can in the issues at stake. Not a
single great South American newspa
per is anti-ally or anti-United States. !
The predominating South and Central 1
American love of France alone makes
the people of those countries pro-ally,
despite all the influence Germany may
have through business connections.
“In nearly every South and Central
American capital and large city the
public demonstrations have been al
most invariably pro-ally, and since the
break of the United States with Ger
many, pro-American. There have been j
practically no pro-German demonstra-'
tions anywhere, even in the so-called!
German sections.
“In one of two countries where it,
has been reported that the govern-,
ments might be slow in showing sym- i
pathy with the United States, the ex- 1
pressed public sentiment has been in
favor of this country, and President
Wilson. Just because a South or Con
tral American government does not
immediately break with, or declare,
war against Germany and follow the
United States is no argument that ;
that government is divided in its sup
port and that Pan-Americanism is not.
standing the test. Pan-American,
solidarity is based on great underly
ing public opinion, and that undenia
bly is with the United States.
“The United States, joined to Eng
land and France with closer ties of
actual kinship and friendship than are
the South and Central American coun
tries joined to this country, waited
nearly three years before it entered
the European war. It is, therefore,
not fair to condemn any South or Cen
tral American country because, after
only a few days have elapsed since
war has been recognized, and before
any overt act has been committed
1 against that country, it has not ac
tually broken with the enemy of the
United States.
“South and Central America, as a
group of 20 nations, are all right in
this conflict, and can be counted upon
to do their part, as may he neces
sary either in actual wor or in strict
and justified neutrality.”
‘undiscovered.’ Lack of concrete
1 knowledge, prejudice born of ignor
ance, have retarded the development
of the territory up to a very recent
| date. The effect on the country has
been psychological rather than inten
tional, hut the results have been the
same.
“Government surveyors have dis
closed vast riches and the govern
ment railroad is fast opening up the
countrx. Her coal is declared to be
equal to the world’s best, her soil is
fertile and her people industrious.
“What better foundation could a
candidate for statehood have in its
race for future prosperity.”
