Storm, the robbed treasurer of Iavapai county, was arrested last week and placed in jail. caused by the grand jury's report of irregulari- ties in office. He was afterwards re- leased on bond. It seems that an in- investigation of the accounts shows that the treasurer was short about the amount of which he claimed to have been robbed. He is apt to have Il hard time to clear himself of be ing implicated in his own robbery.

Observation-Disclosures Vaudeville,

It is not so much a matter Of hard
work, this getting together vaudeville
tion to the finer points, and the pleasing
order to do this, the manager Of vau-
deville house must be on the alert at all
times, keep in touch with all parts of
the country, and be ready to close deals
without much quibbling. q
Not one, but many, eyes and minds
are on the vaudeville talent of the coun-
try, with view to making selections
for the Unique theater, and that is why
every week since the opening there have
been almost complete changes in style,
even tho there may have been few cases
where the acts did not come up to ex-
Psseta3tif{ns, Pee It and had to be replaced at
rule, the Judgment has been good, and
Unique audiences reap the benefit.
For New Years week the. Unique
management will give peculiarly ap.
propriate bill. Abroad during the hoi-
day season there are usually entertain
merts specially put on for the season
They are known as the "pantomimes, .
but with them are also the ''marion

it is certain that the act Of the famous
Hines and Kimball trio will please. II
is an expensive act, and one that Unique
patrons will appreciate to the full, hav

Of strength. Collins and Kune are q

Phil and Carrie Russell are heralded
as a team of rare entertainers in sketch
work, using their two trained dogs ir

with big funny sketch that gives them

Mary, who is in love with Ransom, en-
deavors to establish his innocence and
in so doing reveals certain facts that
cause Ransom to believe that Cahil is
the real bandit. Mr.. Davis solves this
complication with remarkable expert
ness, retaining the element of dramatic
suspense until the moment Of the final
curtain. No play of recent years has
told more charming love story, really
a boy-and-girl romance, than that Of
Ransom and Mary.
Beginning Thursday evening, at
which performance, by the way, the
Minnesota football team will be in at,
tendance, the new play, Strongheart,' -
by William G.: de Mile, will receive it's
been produced in St. Paul the after
half of this week. While both plays
are essentially American, the roles in
terpreted by Mr.. Edeson are in bold
contrast. From the fun-loving Lieuten-
ant Ransom to the serious college bred
of the Carlisle type, who has been sent
by his tribe to Columbia university to
acquire more liberal education and to
learn the ways of the white man, so
that some day when his father, the
chief, dies, he will be able to bring
something to his people in the way Of
civilization and education. But Strong
heart falls in love with the sister Of
his chum, Dick Livingston, a university
man who has idolized Strongheart. 1t
is the racial difference that gives rise
to complications that are said to be
most novel and interesting. It is such
a theme as has never before been
utilized for stage purposes.
Mr.. Edeson s engagement in Minneap-
oils should prove both a social and
dramatic event. He has a company of
some thirtv canah1e nlavars amonC
whom Fraser Coulter, Grace Thorne,
| Edmund Bresse, Eleanor Carey, Charles

It was the afternoon before Christ
mas. The stores were as rich and gilt
tering as Aladdin g palace. All looked
happy as they thought of what they
were to give their friends.
I went out into the crowded street
and threaded my way until I came to
the old city hall. There it stood, as for
years, monument Of past good rule,
and Of "deeds without a name.'
I saw hundreds of people waiting to
be admitted, surging against the door
entrance, went up to the third floor, and
stood by the side of the Salvation Army
officer.
The old elevator creaked with merri-
ment as it came up time and again,
filled with people, who, with their faces
wreathed in smiles, looked nearer
heaven then they had ever been before.
Their wants had been weighed by a
kind committee, and each one clasped a
ticket good for "basket dinner. >
Each basket contained chicken, beef,
apples, potatoes, tomatoes, corn, beans,
rice, sugar, coffee, candy. butter, bread
and cranberries. And there were 600
such baskets filed from the "stuffed
turkey' money collected on the streets,

wrinkled and feeble, but they lifted the
big baskets with tear or smile, and
said:

There were middle-aged women and
men with hunger in their faces, who
had come to get something for the old
folks at home, and they left with a
little boys and girls who reached up for
baskets almost as big as themselves,
which weighed them down till they
looked like dwarfs, but they carried

This concert will be held in the First
Baptist church. Mr.. Bispham is one Of
the really great singers who has done
much to establish the musical fame Of
loyalty to his own country is not af-
fected by the fact that he spends a
considerable part Of every year abroad.
No singer before. the public is so quick
to recognize and encourage American
composers, and he has introduced many
notable American compositions.
Mr.. Bisphan believes that except for
the musical atmosphere that prevails in
the old world, the music students gain
little by studying abroad; that they can
obtain quite as good training at home.
