"THE ALASKAN"
Greatest Scenic Production of the
SeasOn-Totem Poles and Read
Alaskan Dogs-7O People.

Something new and decidedly re-
freshlng in the comic opera line is
claimed for "The Alaskan" which
John Cort will present with elabor-
ate effects at the Grand opera house
next Thursday night. The book ami
lyric are by Joseph Blethen and Max
Figman, and the music is by Harry
Girard. With its scenes laid In
about Nome, where climatic condi-
tlons suggest the widest snow
storms and various brilliant light
Ing efects-such as the Aurora
Borealas-but does not exclude IA
mild summer season, there was u
chance for all the brilliancy OF
scenic effects, n comic opera ad-
mirer could wish for in the staging
OF this Joint work OF the Messrs.
Blethen, Figman and Girard, and
Mr.. cort has produced It with
lavish pnrpose.
There is real plot and well
worked out story of absorbing inter-
est 20 "The Alaskan" which in itself
is a boon for comic opera. The plot
deals with the fortunes OF Richard
Atwater a poor New York boy who
is "grubstaked" by rich man
named Eastman who has a pretty
young daughter. The young man
mas arrived in the Alaskan gold
fields and is working his claim when
the story opens. II is several years
since he left the Civilized" world
and he has heard nothing from his
monied partner in the grubstake.
Discovery claim" his mine, Is seen
in the mild. Alaskan summer in full
operation, the complete mining
paraphernalia and "sluice box" with
real running water are shown.
Atwater receives a letter from
Miss Eastman who was very small
girl when he left New York, which
has been two years reaching him. II
tells him of the death of her father,
making her sole heir to the Eastman
fortune and HIS new partner in the
grubstake. While Miss Eastman was
not only old enough'to remember At
water but slightly, she was so much
impressed with the liking her father
had for the young man that she or
ganized an Alaskan tearing party
which arrives at Discovery claim"
just as the trial OF the mine has
proved TO be a failure.
Smallbury Strander a theatrical
manager who has taken "Floradora"
TO Alaska has lost everything but
the sextette, hearing gold has been
found in profusion at the Atwater r
mine, brings the show girls there in
n final effort TO retrieve his fortune.

much needed meal for the survivors
