The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-11

Cordova has right to be proud of the art exhibit at Hegg's, where B. P. Ziegler has twelve pictures on dis play. These pictures are thoroughly Alaskan in their coloring and selec tion. It is hard to find any country that can equal this Northland for it's riotoous array of colors, and MT. Zieg- Ter has caught and used the individual tones as only an artist with true sence of beauty can. MT. Lauretz, an artist of note, who has spent many summers in Alaska, making spe- cialty of the vivid coloring matter to be found here, is enthusiastic over MT. Ziegler's work, and compliments it highly.

 The third of the very enjoyable dances given this season by the P. A. F. cannery management for the pas sengers and crew of the Alameda was held last Monday evening at Port Ashton. AS rule the Alameda car ries one talented pianist at least, but this time she failed to produce, and the start of the dance did not look promising until Captain Johanson ships photograph taken ashore to the cannery dance hall Loud cheers greeted the captain as he forced his way through the crowds, followed by four men bearing the machine. Capt. Johanson put on the first record, and thereby turned the tide of affairs, for the dance was complete success.

 A more truly delightful social affair has never been witnessed than the gathering of the people of Chitina and vicinity at the A. B. hall for the pur pose of complimenting and welcoming the new bride and groom, MT. and Mrs G. E. Ketchum, Miss Johnstone, the school teacher, and MT. and Mrs. Swartz, who have just returned from duty overseas, and are interested in the welfare of the natives of Alaska. The hall was appropriately decorated and excellent music was furnished by local talent. The Jazz band, spe- cial feature of the evening, was con- posed of Harry Hoyt, band leader, playing the banjo; MT. Tibbs, drum; Louis Day trombone, and Mr. Bates the cOrnet. Encore after encore was played by this clever band, until finally the drummer became so tired that he had to resort to a tambOurine. The dancers were very much disappointed when the players decided that they were too exhausted to continue, with Johnstone and Mrs. Swartz played several selections on the piano for the dancers, which were very much appre- ciated Mrs. Hayes sang two solos, and a buck and wing dance by Harry Hoyt added much to the entertain ment of the evening. A very dainty supper was served by the ladies, after which dancing was resumed. The out of-town guests included Mrs. A. Me Leod, Mrs V. J. Dwyer and Mrs. J. Walsh of Strelna, MT. and Mrs. J. Nefstead of Tonsina, MT. and Mrs. Steward of Kenny Lake, and Roy De Leo of Cordova.
