We saw a short play in the Palace Grand Theatre about the women of Dawson. An amateur
production in all respects but then again, the price was right and we loved it. In the evening
we took in the Diamond Tooth Gertie show for $6. This was a singing, dancing, hurdy-
gurdy show with can can dancers and Gertie herself in full colour. The original Gertie, ac-
tually named Gertrude Lovejoy, wedged a diamond between her two front teeth to differ-
entiate herself from all the other dance hall queens. Sounds painful but it seems to have
worked as a marketing novelty. She's the undisputed Queen of the Klondike.
