STRONG DRAMATIC
FEATURE SUNDAY

Up FROM The Depths" a four reel
Metro Feature Film, will be the main
attraction at the Coliseum theater Sunday
evening. The story deals with the
struggles of an innocent country girl who
has been lead astray by man of a most
villainous nature, who, posing as a min
lister of the gospel. hides his true identity
under the cloak of religion TO carry OH
nefarious methods OF securing a liveli-
hood: 1t follows the victim thru the
depths to which she is forced to go i'll
order to obtain food, after she has been
cast outside the pale of society, and
shows in very graphic manner how con-
tact with the dregs of humanity can so
corrupt and warp the finer sensibilities
as to make it an almost physical impos-
sibility to reclaim the soul to even a SEMI
blance of It's original self.
T program is completed with merry
comedy skit entitled "Harold's Toupee,'
with Louis Simon in the leading role.
The usual feature prices will prevail;
four bits for general admission and SIX
bits for reserved and box seats.

ASSOCIATION FORMED
Baseball Season Will Be
Opened With Two
Strong Teams

In order that an organization might be
effected and plans formulated tor the
coming season, the members of the Ne
mana Athletic club, which was formed
early in the season of 1916, met at the
Coliseum early in the week and perfected
a temporary organization, to be known
as the Nenana Athletic association.
Temporary officers were elected as fol-
lows: President, (re-elected) Woodbury.
Abbey; Honorary President, Thos. Riggs,
IT,: Vice President, Robt. G. Burns; Sec
retarv, S. H. Perham; Treasurer, G. +.
Kramer; Membership Committee, J. {.
O'Neill, Jas. ?. Momb, Robt. g. Burns.
These officers will act i'll their various
capacities until regular meeting OF all
members can be called and permanent
officers elected. The approaching base
ball season made it most imperative that
immediate action be taken i'll the pur-
chasing of equipment aud suits, and IN
providing suitable grounds for the play
ing of games. The members of the old
organization, being without authority to
expend the funds which remained i'll the
treasury from last season, therefore per-
fected the above temporary organization
to authorize their committees to proceed.
The membership committee has started
an active campaign for new members.
and latest reports indicate that the cit :
zens of Nenana are entering into the
spirit of the new association with an en-
thusiasn, which will guarantee most
successful organization. A meeting wiii
be held in the very near future, at which
time permanent officers will be elected
and plans for the season. activities out
lined. and all members are urged to lie
present, as no action can be taken with
out vote of the members present.
The membership committee wishes to
make it clearly understood that the new
association is being launched primarily
for the promotion of athletic activities in
Nenana, and that it is i'll no wise to be
classed as a town or Commission organ
ization. Two full teams will be provided
for, according to the plans of the equip
ment committee, and every embryo Ty
Cobb, Germany" Schaefer, Honus Wag-
ner or Christy Matthewson in Nenana has
all equal chance to uphold the honor of
the town OH the diamond this summer.
The work of the team of last summer
is known to all, and there are those to
whom the memory IS not sweet aud who
will in all probability make every effort
to recover some of the laurels which that
team won. So it behooves every true
blooded Nenanaite to get back of this as
ISOLATION and make it success.
1t is the hope of the present officers
that arrangements can be made later in
the season for quarters in which perm
anent home may he established, with
provision for gymnasium, tank, show
ers, social hall, reception hall, reading
rooms, ETC., and that the activities of the
association need not OF necessity cease
with the close of the summer season, but
may extend turnout the entire year.
