EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES

A OURAT ALASKAX DRAMA —XO-XIGHT.

” ’Hu* Chcclialicos —a powerful story of love, bate, and happiness, told against a background of unrivalled beauty in Klondike and Mount -McKinley will be presented at the Princess theatre to-night, been as tho name is so unusual, so is the picture different I l oin any outer you have ever .seen. Made in the heart of the frozen north, it has a scenic background that words are inadequate to describe. While Nature pays an important and inspiring part, it is not merely a scenic, but a powerful drama that plays upon the heartstrings. The death chase over icy and treacherous glaciers—which are constantly crashing into the sea—is the. most thrilling thing oyer staged. And—'ft’s real, every foot, every inch of it. .Made entirely in Alaska. Answering a question of a patron of the Princess Theatre, who wants to know when Alaska as acquired by the United States and if ‘‘ 'flic Chech aliens ” as actually filmed there. Alaska was purchased from Russia, for the sum of 7,200,000 dollars, on March 2!)tli. 1876. Governor Scott Cl. Rone, of Alaska, lias personally certified that every scene of the picture was made there. It was produced as a matter of fact by a company of Alaskan men who had tired of the “ near-northern pictures” that had been inflicted on them by Hollywood.
