.FAvOR|TE: PLAYERS AGAIN T0 BE SEEN BY
 THE SEWARD PUBLIC

Final arrangements have been made by Seward Post of the Amer ican Legion to bring over from An chorage the cast of players who successfully staged the popular comedy Let Anne Do It" which will be shown at the Liberty thea ter Friday evening April 2.
 The play is staged under the able direction of Maurice L. Sharp, who has on numerous previous Oc- casions delighted the Seward pub lie by his acting or directing, be- ing talented in both. Included in the large cast are Gertrude Null cahy and John M. Cook, veterans of the footlights who have ap- peared here in snappy plays before.
 Press dispatches from the Inlet City, where the play ran for three successive nights, highly praise the performances of Lille Johan- sen, Verna Reed and Helen Welsh, three Anchorage beauties, and Harry Seller, Verne Johnson, Hal ford Noggle and Emery Kunkle who are seen in important roles in this show.
 The staging of this successful comedy is being undertaken by the boys of the American Legion post of Seward as a measure to- wards raising funds for the con- struction of their huge log club house, for which they have al- ready industriously cut the logs and will soon bring in.
 Considering that it is an out of-town show, and that the ex- pense of transporting the large cast to Seward has to be borne, the admission prices which will be soc, 75c, and S1 are very reasona- ble, indeed. No tax will be added to these prices.
 Seats will be on sale at the Sew ard Drug Company next week.

 This aged Russian patriarch is a most interesting character. He gives a graphic account of his eX- perience during his 13 days of waiting to be rescued, or rather to die as he thought. He takes no credit to himself for his endurance and courage, feeling sure that if it was not for the protecting hand of Providence he would have per- iShed with the rest. He lives the time over and over again, and de- scribeS his devices for keeping his mind intact and his blood circulat- ing. Being unable to rise he had to resort to other expedients for exercise, such as wiggling his toes and fingers and moving his legs continually and restoring his flag ging mental powers by forcing himself to sing hymns and old Russian ballads remembered from his younger days.
