"Arizona."

Arizona" which will be presented at the
Majestic Theater next week, is considered
by many as the best play Augustus Thomas
has written. The main posture of cir
cumstances Is not new-the assumption
of guilt by a man In order to save the name
of a woman who was the verge of dis
grace and ostracism. To all of this there Is
a POLITICALLY just denoument. Mr.. Thomas, it
is claimed has impaired to his play a
quality of atmosphere that Is intrinsic and
not at all dependent upon the material as
sistance that Is to be obtained from the ex-
pert utilization of the mechanical appli-
ances of the theaters.
