To see either William FaTersham or
Julie OPP would be a treat to the
average audience. but to see them both
IN the same cast and for one price
is the unusual treat that FL PasOans
enjoyed Friday night Mr. Favershsm
and supporting company" had been
advertised for appearance here, but
there had been no advertising Of the
fact that Miss OPP would be member
OF the cast However she was. and It
all came about quite by accident Miss
OPP, who off the stage is Mrs William
Faversham- none other, Joined her tai
euted husband in FL Paso and decided

that FL PasOans enjoyed
That 1t was a treat there is but one
sentiment. The F'aun' is an unusual

written on quite Independent lines. In

delicate treatment Of the subject It Is
quite a delightful comedy, with enough
plot in 1T 10 make 1t almost a comedy

might not be so funny, but with Fav-
ersham putting them over the foot
lights, they reach the ears OF the audi

TWENTY-FIVE years ago there stood about the streets of Phoenix lot of mossbacks who were ready always to discourage with hard luck tales any newcomer seeking a location But that did not prevent the Salt River valley settling up. The same kind of people are try ing now to discourage settlers from taking land in Santa Cruz county. Their self imposed task is as hope. less as was that of the old woman who sought to sweep back the tide of the sea.
