DESTROYER ZANE WILL BE LAUNCHED TUESDAY
 AT MARE ISLAND YARD

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8 (by Asso- ciated Press The United States de- stroyer Zane, scheduled to be launched at Mare Island navy yard August 12, and to become part of the Pacific fleet, will be named after Major Ran dolph TaIcott Zane of the marine corps, who died from wounds and in fiuenza incurred in France.
 The destroyer will be sponsored by Mrs. Zane and her five-year-old daughter. Mrs. Zane is the daughter of Governor William D. Stephens of California.
 Major Zane commanded the Amerl- can forces in the town of BOuresches during the famous German drive, when marines and soldiers stopped their way to Paris. Tn the action he was severely wounded. One bullet lodged in his hip and an ear drum was shattered by an exploding shell. For his bravery and coolness in action he was cited by Major General Barnett and later decorated by General Per shing.
 Following partial recovery from his wounds, Major Zane was provost mar shal at Havre. An abscess developed in his injured ear and he was forced to undergo two operations. While re- covering a second time he was stricken with influenza and died.
 Major Zane was said to have served with many officers now sta toned with the Pacific fleet.

 ALASKA SHOWN
 IN MOVIES

Every true Alaskan will read with interest the following article, which the Times prints in answer to many requestss for more information re- garding the plans of the motion pie ture producing company now making it's headquarters in Cordova:
 (By A. I. Smith, President Beaux- Art Features Co)
 This is my seventh trip into Alaska in the interest of motion pictures, and let me add-of Alaska. It has been my privilege, by means of the motion picture camera, to show the world 'outside" many of the beauties of this wonderful country Always I have regretted that the great pulsing life of Alaska-the joys and sorrows of it's people-such a splendid epic as Robert Service reveals in his sour dough- poems, has not been inter- preted on the screen.
 There have been many photoplays dealing with Alaskan themes. The tremendous success of Carmen of the Klondike," "The Spoilers" and other picturizations of Rex Beach's novels, proves how keen is the worldwide interest in the virile life of the north. But none of these famous productions contains a single scene actually pho- tOgraphed in Alaska, or any actual Alaskan characters.
 It is, then, the purpose of the Beaux-Art Features Co. to remedy this effect by a sincere attempt to DOT tray the great drama of the Northland in phOtoplays of Alaska life not only photographed in Alaska, but also with true Alaskan types appearing in the scenes. The present expedition has been undertaken solely with the ob- ject of bringing to the screen, for the first time, a presentation of All aska which will be authoritative and genuine.
 On our perilous journey into the Valley of Smokes-the hazards of which may seem out of proportion to the value of a few photoplay scenes we received hearty encouragement and cooperation from Alaskans. The! officials of the steamship lines, the cannery folk, and the toWnspeOple everywhere along our route have gone out of their way to further our cause. In short, the people of Alaska have realized what we are trying to do,
The Cordova daily times., 1919-08-08

and have told us in many ways we are with you"
 Without this quick response and CO., operation such an expedition would be doomed to failure We can only show our appreciation and gratitude by doing our best to interpret truly the great heart of Alaska.
 I have been asked whether there is an opportunity for the people of Cor d0va to take part in some of our photoplay scenes. This question is al ready answered by what I have writ ten above; but at the risk of repeti- ton let me assure you that our di- rector, NIr Gittens, will be glad to talk with any of you who may wish to appear before the camera. Our experience in other Alaskan towns tells us that there must be any amount of dramatic talent among the ladies and gentlemen of Cordova.
 It is a source of great pleasure to us picture folk, to note the keen in terest you display in "the movies" :" Your new Empress theater is one of which any city might we'll be proud, and it could only have been erected in response to an overwhelming de- mand, not only for the best in pie lures, but also for the finer things of music and of architectural beauty. May I here express my congratula- tions on this achievement to the peo- pie of Cordova and to my old friend Captain Lathrop?
