The Seward Post of the Amer ican Legion has completed ar arrangements with the management of the Liberty theater and the cast of Anchorage players who, under the direction of aMurice U. sharp, are staging the big com edy "On Vacation" in the Inlet city this week, to repeat the show here March IS. The stars in the play, and Director Sharp, are now we'll known to Seward theater goers, and the heralding of their coming next week Is receiving considerable applause.
 "On Vacation" is one of the funniest American farces that has been written in recent years and played for two years on Broadway. It depicts true American home life, showing us as we appear to others. A salesman trying to ped die IaKe oil SCOcK, a daughter with ambition to become a Sarah Benhardt, a son that has reached the "age of IT," a mother who has the ''numerology- bug" 8 vamp of the umpty-umpty age, father that is bait for the fake promot- CTS, rascal that lives on his wits to bamboozle the maidens who are endowed with youthful ambi- tions of the foctlights, then on ton of all this, enters a Prof. of Eng fish, well. believe us, for two solid hours you will laugh till your sides ache, and as the last curtain falls on the land of pretend you will go away with a lesson in psychology that cannot be obtain ed in books, a practical lesson that will ever serve you in the future

Local Talent Show
 Is We'll Receiued
 Large Audience

The "Podunk Limited, operating between Seward and Anchorage, arrived on time last night at the Liberty theater station where it was boarded by a big crowd every seat in the coaches being occupied
 Without trying to get personal some very funny looking passen- gers got aboard entertaining the others throughout the entire rail journey.
 The one-act farce comedy met with general approval and the members-all of them-of the cast handled their parts well. Not only the cast but especially the directors deserve considerable credit for their unstinting effort to give the local public an even ing's entertainment. The fact that they practiced for weeks, giving freely of their time, is alone sufficient for appreciation. The vehicle afforded many oppor- tunitieS for humor and the most was made of the situations. To mention one with praise and omit a smaller part, would hardly be fair; they were all good and it is hoped the local public may have the opportunity many times in the future to see them again.
 The response of the public in attending the performance and hearty outbursts of laughter dur ing the show, attested to the suc- cess of the Seward Athletic Club show.
 Heading the program was the Jesse Lee Glee Club which, bevy of comedy girls from the Home, dressed very prettily, who rem dered three selections which were excellent Dainty little irene Ken stron, the talented dancer, light " ripped a Highland fling and then 3 tap dance Mrs. Hatton, whose readings are always greatly appreciated, again revealed her remarkable retentiye qualities by reciting a business conversation over the telephone.
 Thanks are extended to Brown & Hawkins Corp, for the chairs loaned to the Club and to Sylvia $ for donations of candy
 The performance will be given again this evening at the Jesse Lee Home and should any one, who missed 1t last night, desire to attend, they may do so
