A BRILLIANT SUCCESS
 Continued From Pace 1.


 Warner also sang a tuneful song, "On the Banks of Cave Creek the Other 1 Day" and Mir. Connelley sang another Satisfied With Life" Both were parodies on well known songs and every line of them was of local appli- | cation, situations that were readily grasped by the audience and loudly applauded. MT. Gordon was encored and after repeated requests responded. MT. Wilson's song was also a novelty being illustrated by the appearance Of two little dancing Japanese maidens. the Missess Anderson and Bicknen. All the solos were we'll received and the choruses were joined in by the full company. The first part closed with a beautiful chorus. My Own United States" during the singing of which a big flag was unfurled from the top of the stage its folds dropping behind the singers, The orchestra entertained with southern melodies during the prepara- tiOn for the second part which begun with buck and wing dancing by Mir. F. O. Miller. who has all kinds of music in his feet. Prof. High Ball was next introduced in a number of musical specialties. His name is a secret No- body in town knows who it is unless he sees him. But whoever he Is he has Paderewski beaten a mile. His act must be seen to be appreciated and it's virtue is not alone in the music | There's a lot more to 1t.
 | Little Johnnie Dugan' is a descrip- tive song that is laid mainly at the Goor of Frank Connelley but he needed more help in singing 1t than anybody who ever appeared on. a Phoenix stage. Not that he Is deficient in his execution but the situation grows on him and he has to cry for help. Its another thing that needs seeing to ap- preciate.
 | Professor r. Revere introduces some mandolin specialties. That is all that is necessary to say concerning him. He | is the handiest man with that particu- l lar instrument that has yet faced a Phoenix audience and that is honor enough for one man.
 The succeeding number was a solo by Mir. Gordon Because I Love You Dear" which was of course loudly ap- plauded and encored by Annie Laurie, which was also encored.
 The last big act was the presentation of an Apache Indian reservation scene including a duel between the big chief and cowboy and q fine song. chorus and dance. The costumes for the act
  jealous of the fine feathers. beads and oil decorations of their impersonators. This act included a large chorus and R. A. Warner as Big Chief and James Walden as cowboy. The scene was so natural that the hair of the heads of the audience stood straight up.
 The finale was the singing of "Auld Lang Syne." Otherwise it wouldn't have been an Elks show for that is a fundamental requirement wherever a bunch of stags congregate.
 No reference has been made to the individual jokes and funny things said and done. In the first place they were too numerous for mention and in the second place it would spoil the show for those who desire to attend tonight. And that there will be a full house | again tonight is already guaranteed by the ticket sales, to say nothing of the fact that many who saw the first ] performance will desire to see it again even if the novelty and surprise has worn away. The musical features alone are worth the money The per formance tonight should be even better than last night for the company has now heard its own voice before an au- dienee and will be more or less at home and easier in its work.
 The list of all those who deserve spe- cial mention in the production of this splendid entertainment would include practically all the members of the ElkS lodge and many others who have talk en great interest in it for the EllSs show has become an annual event in these parts. The committee in charge is G. r. Bullard, s. J. Nicholson. Der nard Anderson and C. J. Hall. The advertising committee is G. P. Bullard s. J. Nicholson, T. Elder. P. B. Cham pagne and J. NJ. Burnett.

Page A number of the mem bers also participated in the special ties but their names and their stunts could not well be announced at this time without tipping the fun to those who will go tonight. The decorating was done by Prof. Fournier, who haJ access to the Curio store for all the materials he desired and various musi- clans and others in the city participat- ed wherever they could lend helping hand, making altogether a perform ance the equal of which every theateI goer has paid more for and then failed to see.
