The Girl Alaska

(Al Ira Smith, 1919)

Lottie Kruse stars as Mollie McCrea, a young girl without a mother. With her father working in the mines in the Yukon, she disguises herself as a boy named "Alaska" and stows away on a steam ship bound for the North. Discovered and forced to clean the ship's decks, she befriends Phil Hadley (Henry Bolton) and together they travel to Skagway. Much of the film was shot on location in Anchorage, Cordova, Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Miles Glacier, Skagway, and many other places in Alaska.
