svRVEY0RS RACING ]
 FOR CANNERY SITE
Representatives of Big Rival Cannery Concerns Hurrying Westward
 for Site of Bering Sea.

H. H. Waller and Alexander Bradford, two U. s. land surveyors, are racing to the westward for sal mon cannery site on Berlng Sea, which is estimated to be worth from s35,O00 to s50,OO0 to the company whose representative wins in the race of locating the ground and recording it in the Juneau land office first. Wal Ter represents the firm of Hubbard & Waller, a smaller company which IS just getting on it's feet and Bradford is said to represent one of the largest cannery companies operating ill Der ing sea.
 Under the law a site must be locat- ed and formal application for patent filed with the land office at Juneau. The first man to file has prior right over all other claimants so the race which is now taking place to the westward may go down in history with the famous stampedes for gold. or Rex Beach's "Silver Horde
 The Seward Post tells of the start of the race from that place as fol- lows:
 Waller left Seattle ahead of Brad ford. stopped at Juneau, unwound a little official red tape and arrived in Seward on the Admiral Evans intend ing to sail west on the Dora. But the Dora was delayed by storms. Wal Ter was advised by cable that Brad ford representing the other packers, was en route on the Admiral Farra- gut and had chartered power boat at Kodiak.
 The stake being large, no expense was spared and Waller cabled ill all directions for boat for charter. Nothing doing.
 More cables and for time it look ed like he would have to charter the Admiral Farragut herself to beat his rival, for the Dora will not get away until after the Alameda arrives and departs. Finally, however. Waller located big power boat at Seldo- via, which was put at his disposal by the owner at Seattle. ....
 Bradford with his assistants, Ed Harton and William Muncaster, ar rived on the Farragut yesterday and sailed for Kodiak, where they will board the schooner in which they ex- pect to make the trip to Uhga.
 Waller and George IN. .McMillan, one of the owners of the concern which Waller represents, boarded the F'arragut here and will be shipmates with their opponents as far as Sel- dovia. They will make things fly when they reach the Katchemak bay port and bend their hopes on being able to get the power launch out ot

A STAR CAN TWINKLE

The audiences at the Passing Show"
now playing at tho Lyric, always sit up
and take notice when a small figure and
big high hat arrives on the stage and
starts things moving. The peculiar look
ing yet most attractive little person Is
Daphne Pollard. Miss Pollard has de-
cided views on stage life.
IL don't believe the conquerors I used
to hate when 1 studied ancient history
at school ever felt prouder when they
drove into the home town after the wars,
trailing their captives behind them, than
girl does when she knows she has
pleased Broadway.
broadway, you know, is the street
with the terrible fascination-terrible be-
cause to conquer it means so much, and
to be conquered by 1t is so dread thing.
And fascinating! l should say 1t is as
full of thrill as a first glass OF wine.
Broadway Is what every actress wants.
"I. n girl born in Australia, used to
hear of ii In my Pacific island home with
thrill of fear and hope. Fear that l

Opera Company. We sang in Melbourne,

"I reached 1t by way OF San Francisco

years ago, and l was IA, 1t was very
charming to please the warm-hearted
pleasure-loving San Franciscans. But my
heart still turned and yearned for Broad
way.

much less conquer it, For along came
Cupid and persuaded me to marry a
young man in Seattle and take up my
abode there.
For four years I was off the stage.
1t took all that time to convince hubby
that l could be on the stage without
straining home ties. Then I went into
vaudeville briefly, and then, by grace of
the Shuberts. l had my chance at the
Winter Garden.

llriously happy. for-so they told mel

AMUSEMENT
SECTION
DO STAGE OR FILMS
INSPIRE ACTOR MOST?
Joseph Kilgour, Vitagraph
Star, Gives His Views on
the Matter

Those who say that motion pictures do
not give the actor the same inspiration
that he gets on the legitimate stage. with
the sea OF faces across the foothghts
watching his every move, will find in Jo
seph KilCour, the VitaCraph player, one
who is willing to argue with them. He
finds more inspiration in the cold. gleam-
ing eye of the camera. the critical eye of
the directors and the Interested eye of
the camera man than he ever felt before.
"If an actor puts his whole mind into
his work there will be no lack of insptra-
tion. / have played a great many parts
on the legitimate stage and at times have
been deeply affected by them, but until !
began to pose in motion pictures | did
not realize what inspiration meant.
There is one film in particular that
brought out, | believe, the best that was
in me. At least 1 meant to do my best
not only from an ethical standpoint, hut
because the story of the play inspired me.
The story was the deathbed effort of
great mind. Mrs. Sidney Drew George
Cameron) dictated the picture as she lay
with life ebblng away, with her sight
growing DINNER and DINNER. Having
completed her work she died, holding in
her hand the very Bible from which she
derived the story's theme.
Think of the sentimental associations
of that story-partiCularly when 1t was
put into the hands of her son, S. Rankin
Drew, to produce. All or the .slayerS cast
in the picture could see that he was en-
deavoring to erect a monument to the
memory of his loving mother, and every
player did his or her best under that same
inspiration and impetus"
On the speaking stage Kilgour has al
ways been known for his knowledge of
technical detail. He finds that In motion
pictures he has an even greater oppor-
tunity to display his technical knowledge.
His first glimpse of himself on the screen.
however, caused shock to his justifiable
pride.
after had gone through number of
scenes 1 was given the opportunity of
seeing myself in the pictures. 1t was the
most uneasy experience l ever had.

many flaws in my manner of walking

my director, who was wAtchin. the film.

opinion. 1 could have done better. 1t

chance to see myself as others have seen
me. and 1t taught me a good lest on My

Famous Pistols in Film

The two pistols used in the dueling
scene of the photodramatic version of
Mark Twain's famous story, "Pudd'nhead
Wilson," which will be at the Stanley
Theatre the first half of this week. with
Theodore Roberts in the title role, are
part OF the collection of Wilfred Buck
land, art director of the Lasky Company.
Mr.. Buckland Is known as the greatest
collector and authority on ancient fire
arms in the country, and his collection
Is said to be one OF the most complete in
the world, not barring that of the Brit
ish Museum. By careful attention Mr..
Buckland has kept his collection in n
wonderful state of preservation, and the
pistols, when tested, were as accurate
and hard shooting as when they left the
French gunsmith.
