Arizona remains, after 10 years

IN its picturesque setting and no less
in these than in its skillful develop
ment II IS good yarn, and the proof
lies in the fact that its retelling does
not bore nor trespass on forbearance
The company at the American theater
is more than average good as road
shows come and go; several of the
players are happily and high above
the average. though the leading woman
and the heavy villain are not num-
bered among them.
Edward Farrell as Lieutenant Den
ton of the Eleventh United States cav
airy is an agreeable actor with fine
personality and good looks. His hero
les are well sustained and human for a
hero, beyond the measure of most
blonde haired roles. The self-sacrifice
which the playwright. Augustus
Thomas. imposed on him was worn
with manliness and soldierly grace.
Farrell created a most favorable i'm

The Tony Of Roberto Deshon was

Alma Bradley as Bonita Canby atones

a Latin gift for gesture. an eloquent

Charles E Graham as sergeat Keller

The leading woman, Emily Meffert,
lacks much TO make her fit the role of
the self-indulgent Mrs. Bonham. the
gay wife of the aged colonel. whose
misbehavior with Captain Hodgman
causes all the trouble and makes Lieu

does not measure up to the emotional

Of 253 convicts in Clinton prison, whom he

Home in Sun for Hartman

A physicians prescription which costs $780,
900 to fill may seem bit high, even in these
days of luxury, but if you happen to possess
more millions than you have fingers and toes
and then a good many more you may not
mind the expense any more than e H. Harri-
man does.
Several months ago the hDancier's physi.
clan decided his patient was not getting
enough sunlight and so he prescribed sola-
rum, or sun room, on the top of the new Har-
riman home, at Fifth avenue and Sixty-ninth
street, New York. The f1nancier looked at the
prescription and turned it over to his archi-
tect Grosvenor Atterbury, 20 West Forty-third
street. Mr. Atterbury, in turn called in Julius
Peabody, one of the cleverest of his staff, and
together they drew the plans.
The solarium will occupy the entire top of
the house and will comprise sunroom, two
bedrooms. two bathrooms and sitting room.
Each will be so arranged that it can practi-
