MOVING PICTURE
 MAN IN WAY TO
 STATES WITH PLAY
MANAGER GEO. EDWARD LEWIS TAKING GREAT ALASKAN
 PLAY OUTSIDE

Mr. George Edward Lewis, Produc- ton manager of the Alaska Moving Picture Corporation, and Mrs. Lewis, Miss Gladys Johnston, the young star, and Raymond Johnston, chief camera man, arrived on last Wednesdays train. They will be joined tonight by MT. Louis Moomaw, director, and the whole party will leave on the Steam ship Alaska.
 MT. Lewis is taking with him the film of the great feature, "The Chee- chakos," which the Corporation has been producing for the last five or six months. During the past thirty days the task of cutting" the picture has been in progress, so that now on ly the cream of the great mass of film to pick from, is in the 16 reels that are being taken outside.
 All during the filming of The Chee- chakos," those working with the Cor poration, could see that something fine was being made, but it remained for this last cutting and connecting the parts together in story form, to show just how great and beautiful the feature was. The enthusiasm of those 1 privileged few who have seen the It reels run, is unbounded, and the smile that won't come off, is on all the Corporation officials faces.
 The 16 reels will be taken directly to Hollywood and there placed in the hands of the formost experts for the final cutting" and titling, and it is expected to be ready for the public about November 1st, in the shape ot a great super-feature, or 10 reels ir length.
 A great dream brought true by harC work. this is The Cheechakos." Quite a few years ago MT. Lewis got the idea that Alaska ought to be as goot a country as any for movie work; ht studied the possibilities as he trveleC over the Territory. Nineteen month! ago he started active work and ha

time to bring his dream into reality. By the soundness of his proposition MT. Lewis soon interested influential men of the Territory. Among the first was Senator E. E. Chamberlin, an old friend, who was invaluable in explain ing the proposed new undertaking to the people of the different towns. Then came the assistance of MT. Wm. Whit telsey. the first treasurer of the Cor poration, and Senator L. V. Ray, Alas ka's foremost lawyers, as Corporation Counsel. Captain Austin E. Lathrop probably the most successful business man in the Division, came next and was elected president, followed by MT. Alex Mcdonald, the present treasurer, All these men have been untiring ln their efforts, knowing that they were working on a project of great value, both to the Corporation Stockholders and to Alaska in general.
 The technical staff of the Corpora tion, headed by Mr. Moomaw, director and Mr. Johnston, camera man, have done great work which will prove it's self on the screen.
 The loyal support of the Corpora, tion Stockholders here and elsewhere made the picture possible, and the off l cials claim they will not be disappoint ed by the returns on their investment and the fame and advertising value oi 1 the feature.
 If there are no unexpected delays Captain Lathrop will have the finish ed picture up here to show in his thea tres sometime in October or Novem Der, earlier than it's presentation il the states.

alexander Woollcott of the New York
Herald made the assertion that this

adherents sat down and wrote him a
letter. 1t reads, in part, as follows:
| Why the bland assumption that since
Ethel Barrymore appears in a COM
edy of manners she is not called upon
| TO exercise the acting ability which
you admit she possesses? Time was
| when her uncle, John Drew, MAIN
tanned his position as leading figure
| OF the American stage, although he
appeared most exclusively in polite
comedies. Then the critics recognized
| that the acting of gentlemen often
required more ability than the por-
| trayal of character parts where the
actor had the advantage or obvious
emotions and sometimes of pictur-
esque costumes. Certainly the repre-
| sentation of weil-bred people in a
comedy such as Mr.. Sutro's is not any
