The Nenana news., 1923-05-17

Fairbanks is threatened with in undation Continued warm weather has transformed the placid Cinema slough into swollen torrent which has already reached the flood stage and threatens soon to submerge a large part of the city. A rise of 13 inches during the lst 24 hours has brought the water almost to the level of Front street The dock in front of the N. C. block is un- der water now and water is flow ing backwards through the street drains and flooding Fourth avenue in the vicinity of Cushman, which is considerably lower than Front street The flooded areas at the upper end of town and in the vicinity of the shipyards, are widening steadily, with many residents already forced from their homes and others prepar- ing to vacate.
 One report received in town states that the freshet is subsiding at the headwaters of the Cinema river, but another report says the waters of the Tanana are now coming into the slough at the head of the island, adding to the menace.
 It is also reported that much snow still remains in the hills with all of the flats covered with water.

THE HorTENToT.-EOx's.

Would yoii consider. yourself un- lucky if all you could ride was a rocking horse. yet you had to ride a steeplechaser fed on dynamite: and you found there were thirteen horses fin the race; and your number was thirteen; and you smashed mirror on the day of the race; and then found out that it was Friday, the thir- teenth? Would you hide in stable or ride that horse because a girl be- ievcd you wonderful? These are but few of the big issues that rise up to haunt young Sam Harrington, the hero in "The Hottentot," which open ed three days run at Fox's this af- ternoon.
 On the same bill is fine eaude- vile program. including Monard and Mayme in a dialogue knockout; Chase and West. fast steppers; Hilton and Daley two clever girls who can sing well and the Maxwell Trio, three males who have a riot of fun packed away in the comic songs they sing and the good natured banter they hand hack and forth.
 Beginning Sunday. and continuing for the next three days, Fox's is to be the only house in New Britain show ing Jackie Coogan, famous child star of the movies, in his latest triumph, Daddy"

HAROLD LLOYD AT PALACE.

Starting today for the last half oi the week the Palace is presenting Harold Lloyd, tho lad who makes the whole world laugh. in his newest and greatest comedy, Doctor Jack a i've reel comedy that will prove very popular during It's run here. This IA tho photoplay that President Harding personally requested for A showing of 1t in tho Capitol that he and the members Of his family could look at it. It is assured that the President had q good laugh at Harold Lloyd as this is certainly the clcanest and finest comedy that has ever been shown on the screen. All are comedy situations of a most hilarious nature. He cures a little freckled kid from . "serious'' illness in a most amazing manner. He turns poker game up side down so that when the showdown comes there is nothing left but the players voices. Tn fact the entire production is ahead of the Lloyd standard---a standard Of laughter set by the Laughter King. On the same bill there will be hne Keith vaudeville show that will be well liked. It includes Morlin- and Doran in an excellent musical act: Harry Watkins, a loose -jointed com edian who is very funny: the Kee Tow Four in a novel singing offerng; and Fred LaReine and Go. who offer a real novelty in an electrical act that is sensational as well as fnstruc- tive.
 Starting Sunday night. Cecil E. De Miles greatest photoplay. Adams Rib" will be offered for run Of four days and will eclipse any photoplay hit that has ever been seen in this city. The story deals with the mod ern napper and lays bare her life and shows that the parents of the flappers need more watching than the daugh- ters. It is enacted by an all star cast that includes Milton Sills, Elliott Dex- ter, Theodore Kosloff, Anna Q. Nils son and Pauline Garon.

MUSICAL COMEDY AT LycEUM


 As funny as was the musical com edy production by Felix Martins troupe at the Lyceum the first three days Of the week, that which opened this afternoon was record breaker as far as laughs are concerned. Felix himself Is the greatest fun maker of the lot. As the old Irishman who is always getting into trouble and who. when he appears to be the hut of every quib. twists 1t about so that his torinentor is tho goat, he Is great. l Martin is ably supported by most capable cast and chorus of new and old favoritcs. The prima donna, Miss Rose Emmett, appeared formerly with Hoyt's revue and for the singing parts in which she appears she is admirably suited.
 The picture which opened this aft ernoon is a smashing meiodrama "The Curse of Drink" For downright sen sational scenes and thrill that is not easily forgotten, this picture has them all beaten. It runs the entire gamut of human emotions and while the plot naturally centers around one of the characters whose life is ruined by drink, it is not "Ten Nights in a Barroom" picture. A good romance and sufficient comedy, is woven throughout the drama.
 Beginning next Monday and con tinuing for three days. one of the daintiest little stars in filmdom is to twinkle on the Lyceum screen. Betty Compson in The Green Temptation" is the attraction.
 Next week Tom Carroll's 1923 Musi- cal Revue will hold the boards at the Lyceum. this show probably winding up the musical comedy season.

 Cufy's smooth brown stone lay ex- actly in front of MT. Bear. who mo- ticed that there wasn't anything else on the table that looked like a po- tato.

 "Yes, Father." said Cufy. as he scowled at his sister Silkie. She didn't look solemn enough to suit him.
 T won't offer to share # with the rest of you" said Mir. Bear. "There'll be plenty of potatoes in few months" And reaching a paw out swiftly. he pulled the stone nearer and bit 1t.

HAM AND EGGS
BY BERTHA F.. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University


 Ham and eggs retains< its indi- viduality as a dish for luncheon or supper, with bread. or a baked potato. accompanying it. A good recipe for this combination is as follows
 Take one and one-half cups of chopped, cooked ham. Cook the ham for two minutes in two tablespoons of butter and add two tablespoons of flour, stirring all the time. Add one- fourth teaspoon of salt. one teaspoon of mustard and. one cup of milk. and cook until thickened. Pour this into buttered platter, or a buttered dish, which can be placed in the oven and served at table.
 Make six hollow places in the mix ture. and in each one drop an egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with buttered crumbs. Bake until GEE is set. The egg may be soft or cooked hard, as the family prefers. Serve at once.
 The crumbs are soft bread crumbs with enough melted butter added to make them well buttered.

ANNA CHRISTIE PLEASES
 LONDON'S THEATER G0ERS
Eugene O'NeiiIs Play Makes Biggest Success Since Daiy's Tour
 Years Ago.

London. April 12.--(By Associated Press)-The discovery of Eugene O'Neill and the American actors who are playing Anna Christie" has pleased the London theater world to an extent rarely equallcd since Angus tin Daly's company many years ago astonished England with the revela- ton that the Yankees could teach her som ething about the English drama.
 Mir. O'Ncill was known of course by reputation, and two of his short plays have been seen in suburban theater which caters to the so-called inteiiec- tuals, but Pauline Lords name ap- parently had never crossed the At lantic.
 Many of the plays which make q hit on Broadway come and go in London. The critics as a rule are just toward foreigners, although they are often puzzled by importations Of American local color and scenes or American life. Seldom, however, are they enthusiastic over these enter prises. But the ice was broken last Monday night when Anna Christie opened and tho hardened dramatic critics have fired 2 salvo of laudatory adiectives in which no note Of dis arrangement can be found. The au- dience agreed with them. and gave the company 12 curtain calls after the third act. q
 The Evening News critic described the audience as wildly demonstra- tive" which is not often said of an English theater crowd. The Morning Post asserted tbat what Walt Whit man was to poetry Mir. O'Neill is to the drama"

 Cuffy gave her the smooth stone that he had found in the bed of the brook.
 Tt does look exactly like potato" Mrs. Bear murmured with a smile. Tt makes me hungry just to look at it."
 Say I may play my trick on Fath- er!" Cuffy begged her.
 And Mrs. Bear said yes.

 It is all so beautiful. dear Bea- trice, that I almost hesitate to break the spell by writing even to you. l confess I was little disa ppointed when found that John had got his tickets for Niagara Falls. It seemed so commonplace. All bridal couples go there, you know. if they have the money He seemed so surprised. however. that would not want 10 do this conventional thing. l did not say much about it.
 l am very glad we came. Bee. IL is wonderful and not tho least of my joy comes from the sight of other couples that I know are just as happy as John and l, other young men and women who arc entering the same life.
 Yesterday. when we were going down through the gorge, little bit of girl just in front of us nestled into the protecting arms of a splen- did man beside her and, as he pulled her toward him with that air of pos session which every woman loves. I found myself smuggling up to John
 There was something in the gran deur of the landscape. something so awesome in the overhanginc rocks above ns and In the rushing torrent below that I felt. as knew the little bride in front did. I was glad that I had someone beside mo who could understand the feeling that all sub limity of nature inspired.
