Order an Image
Seattle's Moore Theatre opened in December 1907, with an original musical comedy, "The Alaskan." According to the program, the story was set in Nome, and the characters included two prospectors, an heiress, her chaperone, a ladies' maid, a mailman, and an art scholar. The eighteen musical numbers included choruses by "Sextette Girls," "Eskimo Girls," "Show Girls," and "Alaskan Miners."

In this photo, probably taken in 1907, some of the forty cast members pose with dogs and a dogsled to promote "The Alaskan" at the Moore Theatre.
