STATEHOOD

On March 30, 1916, Delegate Wickersham of Alaska introduced in the national house of repre- sentatives bill providing that the people of the territory of Alaska be and they are hereby author ized to form for themselves constitution ard state government under the name of the State of Alaska, which state, when so formed, shall be admitted into the Union as hereinafter provided.
 In all this great Norhland there will be no citizen or resident but whose heart will throb with justhabe pride when Alaska IS admitted into the ssterhood of states It will be red letter day in Alaska his tory when sovereignty IS conferred upon 1t. But it is not quite clear what good purpose be served by the introduction of this measure at this time. The delegate himself surely cannot have any reason able hope of its early passage, and other than to fariliarize the people of the country well as the members of congress with the idea of erecting a state cut of this northern territory at some or less remote time 1t would seem to be wasted energy. That congress should be expected to confer state hood upon the immense territory of Alaska with its small and scattered population does not at all reasonable; and perhaps such action on the part of the national aw-givers would not be attended by the benefits which 1t would be natural to expect
 There is one section of Delegate Wickersham s bill which needs some explanation Section 8, which provides for representation in congress, gives the proposed state four representatives in the house

of representatives of the United States one to be elected from each of the four judicial divisions. Representation in the lower house of the United States congress is based on population, each state, however, being entitled to at least one representa- tive. In the present congress Arizona, Delaware, Nevada and Wyoming each has one representative, and their population according to the last census was as follows: Arizona, 204354; Delaware, 2O2,322; Nevada, 8l,875 Wyoming l45,9o5. The population of Alaska according to the same census figures, was 64, ,356, which included natives. It is doubtful whether at the present time the popu ]atjon exceeds those figures. The white population of Alaska recently was estimated at 44,OOO lnclud ing increases due to commencement of work on the government railroad,
 It is difficult to understand why congress should be expected to grant along with the privileges of statehood, representation in the lower house of con gress four times greater than that of states contain ing four times the population (not counting na- tves). If representation were based on area th1s might easily be expainabe but 1t IS not. Why, then, when it IS conceded that it will be difficult matter to obtain statehood under terms of equality with other states, should an attempt be made to secure advantages not accorded to more popuIous states?
 If we are to make an earnest effort to secure statehood let us look the facts squarey ln the face, and not endeavor to deIude ourselves with false hopes. The people of Alaska should know more about this measure and the circumstances under which 1t was introduced.

HENRY MILLER THEATER.

Henry Miller has made public his
plans for a new theater. which will
be original in design and appoint
ment.
The new building will be situated
on W. Forty-third st. and will be
used for the exclusive productions
of this energetic actor-manager.
One Of the novel features of the
house will be a separate reception
room for ladies, in which they can
order tickets and secure seats from
waiting attendants without going 10
the box office.
The boxes will be arranged so the
occupants can get a good view of
the play, yet remain almost invisible
to the rest Of the audience.
Mr.. Miller will also try TO rees-
tablish the popularity of the bal
cony by making this part OF the
house as comfortable as the lower
floor
The seating capacity will be about
I 200 and Mr.. Miller will appear in
the opening production. which is
scheduled for October, 1917.

PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS
LASALLE

Marguerite Clark will be seen on
the screen of the Lasalle today in
new Famous Players production
entitled, Miss George Washington"
In this story one little fib told by
Miss Clarke, starts an avalanche of
deception in order to conceal the
first breach of faith. To make mat
tiers worse, Miss Clark is such an in
nocent looking little soul that she
from the truth society OF the school
for her emulation of George Wash
ington. There is a whirlwind of
humorous complications. The dimin-
utive star is bewitching in her part
and the entire cast lend her admir-
able support.
Little Lady Eileen" is the La
sales attractive feature for Mon
day. Christmas day. In this picture
Marguerite Clark, the charming lit
tie star, is seen again. All the ro-
mantle atmosphere of old Erin has
been retained in the making OF this
film, and many beautiful Out-of-dOor
settings have been used. The story
is that of a little girl who never
loses her faith in fairies, though
scoffed at by her friends and her
lover. The phase of the story that
has to do with fairies, however, is
of minor importance. The main ac-
ton turns on the desire of Eileen's
father to bolster up rapidly dwind-
ling fortune by marrying Eileen TO a
rich man, thus securing for her a
castle and the estate surrounding it.
Miss Clark gives a delightful inn
personation of Eileen the nimble-
footed, graceful and winsome H:tle
creature.
Consistently leading up through a
series of tense situations 10 a,climax
that holds the spectators attention
and curiosity as to the outcome, is
the five part photo drama entitled,
The Yellow Pawn" which is to be
shown at the Lasalle on Tuesday.
Cleo Ridgley and Wallace Reid are
the featured players and both leave
no doubt as to their ability to grasp
and convey dramatic situation,
through the medium of the screen.
The story abounds in dramatic sit
uatiOns and surprises. Others in
the cast are william Conklin, Tom
FOrman and Mr.. Kuwa as the Jap
servant.
There can be no question as TO
Richard Bennett as a wonderful adj
dition to the list of film stars. He
I brings to the screen a fine art, and
in Philip Holden-Waster" he is
furnished with a particularly we'll
chosen vehicle for displaying it. In
every detail this picture meets the
highest requirements of the silent
! drama. The story is romantic, al
together pleasing and probable.
| philip Holden-Waster' is the at
tractive feature to be shown at the
Lasalle theater on Wednesday.

THE GREAT CATHERINE"

The Neighborhood players, under
the leadership of Gertrude Kings
ton. opened up at Maxine Elliott
theater last Monday night for their
uptown run.
The fame Of the organization in
sured a large audience, which evil
IDENTIFY appreciated the offering TO
the fullest extent.
Great Catherine" by Bernard
Shaw, proved. as heretofore. the
stellar offering Of the three-p play
bill, and it was decidedly well car
ried out in every detail.
The hero Of the farce is a young
English officer called TO the Russian
court 10 report on the battle OF
Bunker Hill. He is brought into the
presence OF the favorite, whom Mr..
Shaw calls Patiomkin. and as a
form of amusement for the en-
press he carries the young captain
OF the light dragons into her au-
gust presence.
He dumps the youth on the bed.
at which even the philosophic ruler
objects. But she is Modified when
the captain pays her compliments.
A little later her change of feeling
is much more marked. But the
young British officer is engaged TO
be married. Thus he will have none
of the rulers advances.
As a punishment for such recalci-
tration he is condemned 10 suffer
torture. He is brought into the
imperial presence tide hands and
feet. so that he cannot rebel against
the advances of the empress. But
she does nothing worse than tickle
him with her imperial toe before
he is allowed 20 depart with his
atfianced. He is too British. how
ever. to retire without lecturing the
great Catherine as 10 her future
conduct
The audience found a certain de-
gree OF amusement in the four
scenes OF the play in spite OF its re-
lance on physical means. which is
unusual in the case OF Shaw. who
presumably should be intellectual

"KING ARGNIENES.

Lord Dunsany's play. King Argi-
menes," which was Originally pre-
sented by the Irish players at the
Abbey theater in Dublin six years
ago, was brought TO light by Stuart
Walkers Portmanteau players at
the Princess theater Monday night
The piece is a tale of the long
ago, when a half clad, mud-stained
king, captured in a raid, secures
the sword OF leadership from a fall
en- warrior and leads his fellow
slaves in rebellion.
His first act upon securing the
upper hand is TO order a temple
built in memory OF the warrior
from whom he secured the sword of
leadership, that it's doors may al
ways be open TO the oppressed. His
long years of slavery have not dam
pened his kingly ardor and he fin
ishes up his reign in a fashion
which endears him 20 his subjects.
The play is we'll presented and
cleverly acted and for those who
care for unusual detail, il will be a
pleasant evenings entertainment.
Another new act on the bill is
THE Crier by Night" which depicts
the suffering of an Irish bondmaid
who gives her soul to the restless
spirit OF the ford and kills her
Morse master that she may be with
him in eternity.
