present injunction suit against bill
board companies now pending in the
district court, is lost. were made by
Mrs. Lila Day Monroe for the won-
ems advisory board to the city commits
sion today The regulations of the
proposed ordinance almost make the
erection of biIlboads prohibitiVe.
Mrs. Monroe declared the fight is on
against biIiboards in earnest and that
it will be carried to the Lost ditch. The
ultimate aim is to have all billboards
removed. in the residence districts at
least and to regulate the construction
and maintenance of all other boards
wherever they may be within the city
limits.
Regulations recommended to be in
corporated in the new ordinance in
Guide the following, many of which are
very stringent:
That a license fee of 10 cents per
square foot be charged each year.
That nc billooards be permitted with
in 500 feet of public playground, park,
etc, or residence.
That a billboard must stand at least

That an inspection fee of 20 cents
per HneaI foot be charged when boards
are erected.
That no billbOards shall be permit
ted in the residence districts
Ordinances in other cities were cited,
and many decisions of the courts were
presented Mrs Monroe also had been
present when a number of pictures
were taken, some of them showing the
unsanitary condition existing behind
some of the boards where trash of eV-
cry kind had been allowed to accum-
ulate.
She wants to recommend also a state
law providing that a board shall con-
stitute an improvement to real proper
ty. and its value assessed and taxed.
and that the failure to pay taxes shall
amount to the same as failures to pay
other taxes, being charged as lien
against the property The recommen-
datiOns will be drawn in the form of
ordinance for future consideration

WITH THE THEATERS

1t is generally agreed among the
critics that a play. in order to

punch" If this is true, the real
reason for the sensational hit scor-
ed by 1.-THE Deep Purple" which
begins the week at the Princess
theater Sunday matinee, Is evident.
The Deep Purple" hasn't just one
punch; 1T has a dozen or more and
1t would be hard to select a modern
play or more exciting interest and
breezy comedy.
Paul Armstrong and Wilson
Misner are responsible for "The
Deep Purple" The play turns the
searchlight onto the crooks and
bunco artists and explains the
working of one of the favorite
blackmail scheme-the badger
game" Mrs. Kate Fellon, known
to the profession as Frisco Kate. is
reformed woman thief. A young
mining engineer from the west is
selected as the victim of the black

PANTAGES

Mile. Mimi Amato and her COM
pany of ten in an elaborate Paris
ian dance pantomime; Marion
Munson, famous actress, and the
ever-popular Laurie Ordway will be
the three strong stellar features of
the new weeks bill at the Pan
tages theater beginning Monday
matinee.
THE Apple of Paris" is the title
Of the deliberately staged dance
number presented by Mile. Amato
and company. Mile. Amato is q
dancer of wonderful grace and
charm. The Dance of the Rose"
is one Of the featured numbers in
which she is seen to best advant-
age.
Miss Marion Munson plays six
female roles in the playlet, The
Kidnapping of Blanca" and so rap
idly does she accomplish the
changes from one character to an
other the audience finds 1t hard to
believe that one young woman is
doing all Of them.
Every Pantages patron will re-
member merry Laurie Ordway, the
little English coincidence who
scored such a tremendous hit on
her last visit to Tacoma. 1t will
be recalled that Miss Ordway was
the first woman to fly with Har-
vey Crawford in his aeroplane.
Miss Ordway never fails to capture
the fancy of her audience and is
good for continuous roar of
laughter.
Belzac and Baker are two gifted
musicians who use piano and vio-
lin.
Miss Frances LIE Marie is a roller
skater of grace and agility and the
many novelties she introduces make
her huge success. There will also
be new motion pictures an a special
musical program.
