ANITA STEWART AT
LIBERTY SUNDAY
Anita Stewart la shown In practi
cally:, two characters at "Mind the
Pglnt Girl” at the Liberty Sunday
night.
First she appears as the little
slum girl, who sweeps out her fa
ther's shop and runs errands, and
does any handy work to help make
ends meet for her parents, who are
ypry poor. As the shop girl she
is shown in more or less ragged
calico dreHses, with her hair hang
ing down her back and hats of im
possible styles. Ignorant and un
tutored. yet she has a strong heart
and battles her way through the
rouglia of the neighborhood who are
very much In love with her pretty
face, and try to steal kisses as
chance presents itself .
Full of ambition to get out of the
sordid neighborhood, and to win to
the better things of life, she lakes
the opportunity of her father’s death
to move. Then she applies for a
place on the stnge. After much dis
couragoment she finally gets a place
in tho chorus. Then through the
accidental spilling of a bucket of
paint, she gets an inspiration, and
suggests the song. "Mind the Paint,”
to a composer. She' is given the op
portunity to sing it and makps the
Jilt of the season.
Then as the famous music hall
girl and tlu* wffrld at her feet, she
is presented in beautiful gowns of
every description, gowns that every
woman will want to study to see
the latest In styles and the perfec
tion of their gaiety.

FRANKNESS OF
ALASKA PRESS
FULLY PRAISED
President Harding Gives
Northern Newspapers
Credit in Press Talk.
(Continued trotn One.l
my hat to editors ami publishers
who succeed in maintaining daily is
sues in towns of 800 to 1,200 people
where the circulation maximum oan
tiot exceed 200 or 300 copies. I re
frain from attempting an analysis
of tile relation of the value of ad
vertising to its cost hut the com
munity value of the publication will
remain uncushed. There is a lim
ited reflox of the big news of the
world, with a larger relative regard
resulting from pugilism than world
politics, but the human interest is
fairly' aaIi toiled with the tabloid
stories of the world events.
“Doubtless every Alaskan com
munity is well nourished by a re
stricted news diet us are some of us
who find our nausaoted way. If we
read our newspapers fully, through
elaborated, expatiated atories of
[crime and scandal, and wander
through a haze of speculative pol
j tiles.
“Tho impressive feature of the
!Alaskan press Is Its more than hon
losty, often times, revealing an ap
pealing frankness. An h'onest and
intelligent press, which necessitates
a highly purposed press, affords lim
itless opportunity for community
servlco and the loftiest employment
in life. It may pleach to a larger
congregation. It has every oppor
tunity to commend the defense of
the law. It is an effective mouth
piece of our politics. It is a |each
cr which knows no vacation. It is
tf recording agent of human accom
plishments whose simply story is
ever continuing, an Inspiration to
icftlpr achievements.
“Let those of us who find pride in
the association with tho making of
the American press the best press
in the world, resolve upon full ap
preciation and appraisal of our re
sponsibility and see that conscience
is maintained as Editor-in-Chicf and
