HISTORIC GOLD-RUSH OF '98 REPRODUCED IN NEW PICTURE Reproducing the historic gold-ryush of '98 was one of the tdsks which confronted Herbert Brenon in pro- ducing Thomas Meighan's latest starring picture, - "The Alaskan," whioh opens at the Capitol Theatre to-day. / The picture opens with scenes of the stampede that followed the dis- covery of gold in Alaska in the late nineties. '"The tral of '98" has be- cpme synonymous with suffering and hardship. Thousandg of men fought thelr way into the promised land over a frozeh mountain pdss, carry- ing all their earthly possessions with them. "The Alaskan," in which Thomas Meighan playe the title role, sup- ported by Hstelle Taylor, John Sain- pols and Charles Ogle, is from James Oliver Curwood's famous story and shows the terrible hardships of the first miners who went in. In preparing for these scenes, Herbert Brémon was fortunate in finding two mem who had actually carried packs over the winter trail which led, as they believed, to a land flowing with gold. It was from their descriptions that the atinosphere of the gold-rush scenes was created, All of the out-door scenes of the photoplay were filmed in the north- ern wilds and British Columbia by a company which travelled four thou- sand miles to secure the proper loca tions, Since the beginning of last week, thousands of movie and concert fans have heard Cameron Geddes, the vo- calist, at the Capitol Theatre, and have declared him the finest singer that has appeared on a Kingston stage in meény a day. In comsidera- tion of the numerous requests we have decided to hold him over for the balance of this week. § "SECOND YOUTH" AT STRAND.
