What the May Woman's Home Com
panion Contains.

The May number of Woman's
Home Companion contains ninety
six pages of interesting reading.
From the charming cover, "Apple
Blossoms" painted by T. K.
Hanna, to the Fun Page, there is
not a dull feature in the magazine.
The first aim and purpose of the
editors of Woman's Home Com
panion is to make this magazine Of
service to,its readers, and it seems
to us that this end has been adj
mirably accomplished in the May
issue.
The fiction in the May Woman's
Home Companion includes the first
part of the serial story by iona
Gale entitled oWhen Dreams Be-
gin," delightfully."- illustrated by
Alice Barber stephens. The prin-
cipal theme Of the story is the
struggle for adaptation between
two young people, situation which
has its parallel in the experience Of
most newlymafried husbands and
wives. Marie Corelli has con.
tributed a delightful love story to
the May Woman's Home Com
panion humorous, ingenious and
thoroughly readable. Among
other fiction features are ssThe
Circus Lady, by Hubert Footner,
an exciting tale; "The Indiffer.
ence Of Molly" a lively love story
by Mary Hastings; another part Of
sThe Flight of the Magic. Carpet, y
a story of love and adventure by @.
N. and A. M. Williamson; stories
by Mary Heaton Worse and Annie
Hamilton Donnell.
Woman's Home Companion has
come to be famed for its special
departments and articles which
cover every phase of housekeeping
and deal with all manner of house
hold problems. That much agitated
question, Elbow is it possible for
us to live within our incomes, with
the price of food stuffs soaring9" is
most satisfactorily answered in an
article in the May issue entitled,
1.-THE High Cost of Living Versus
the Cost of High Living.v
There are eleven special articles
in the May Woman's Home Com
panion on topics of live interest.
Each page is teeming with
interest.

 These include almost every kind of a
 power vehicle from hearse or a de- livery cart through all the various
 classes of automobiles. up to the mo- tor trucks for heavy freighting.
 The company has the agency for Ari-
 znna and has an office for the time be- ing with the Valley Realty company. Its headquarters and storeroom are not yet decided upon but will probably be | in Phoenix. though there is business in sight in Tucson and the company may make that city it's principal headquar- ters Tn any event it will have a re- pair shop in Phoenix for its trucks and other vehicles are all guaranteed for a 1 year and any defective parts that may ! be discovered within that time will be replaced free of cost.
 i The motor truck is a fine looking ! freight wagon indeed and is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine with stOr- age battery and Bosch magnetO and l having three or four features exclusive of the devices used on other trucks The car now seen on the streets is | valued at S3.5OO and is not for sale as | it is tO be used solely for demOnstrat- | ing purposes.

Lee and the chorus appeared ir Span ish costumes and did a dance that would be feature with any of the big road companies. In putting on this dance a small company is attempting something really big and making good. But those girls would make good in any number. Jimmie certainly knows how to pick chorus girls.
 Other musical numbers that pleased greatly were Mrs. Lees slumber song, "Oh, What I'd Do for a Girl Like You" by Billy Evans and chorus, All Alone, bv Leroy Kinslow and chorus and a solo by Miss Merck. Baby Angelus di- vided the honors with her mother in the slumber song. winding up the mum Der with dance in which she wears heavy wooden shoes. Shes just as sweet as she can be and d really clever little acress.
 Judging from the size of the crowd that turned out to welcome the Jimmie Lee company to Phoenix, and the ap- plause which the various numbers re- ceived, the Majestic will be none too large while the troupe's engagement lasts

 During the single day Of his visit in Phoenix no definite expression was gained from Count PeterdOrff of his opinion regarding the revolution in Mexico. but it is understood that re- ports of a serious nature brought him from Germany to learn the measures which ought to be taken to protect his interests. From certain state ments regarding business conditions however, it is surmised that he con siders the outlook discOuragfrg. and is not inclined to entertain hope of the people of Mexico being pacified for years to come to the degree that will make the country a safe field fOI the investment of foreign capital.

The Lee company has come. it has been seen and it has conquered. open ing to house that was crowded to the doors. with dozens standing along the sides and behind the seats. Jimmie and his clever troupe Of comedians. soubrettes and chorus girls scored a de- cided hit with Up in the Air" as a medium.
 Jimmie himself-the inimtable and only Jimmie-is one of the principal actors of course Mrs. Lee is with him. as are Miss Madeline Lee and Baby AngeluS. Clara Marck and Le- roy Kinslow are still with the troupe, while Minnie and Allie are still on the ends This completes the roll of those who are known here. and everyone is a faVorite with Phoenix theatCr- gOers. All the others. Homer Long, William Evans and several members of the chorus. are new here. but they are thoroughly competent to be with such q first class company as Jimmie Lees.
 Up in the Air is really funny. It de- rives it's title from the fact that every single character takes several balloon trips during the course of the play while two or three go up once and nev- CT get down until the very last It all hinges around the domestic troubles of the Templeton family and involves two other families before it is straightened out
 Jimmie Lee, Homer King, Leroy Kinslow. Mrs Lee, Clara Merck and Madeline Lee appear in the leading roles When last seen here Miss Lee was in the chorus. Since then she has graduated to the position of regular soubrette and she certainly makes good. both as an actress and as a leader of the chorus. In the character of Mrs. John Brown she scored a decided tri- umph last night. while her song and dance, My Spanish Rose" was by far the best of the musical numbers. Miss
