Arizona republican., 1914-12-06
BY MAITLAND DAVIES

In the course or q converse ton one
day last week prominent and pros
porous citizen of Phoenix made the
statement that he would not patron
ize places of amusement such as the
local theaters and Murray Andersons
dancing studio just now. because he
did not consider it proper for people
to spend their money on amusements
when SO many people were suffering
hardships and prlvation.
We wonder if this gentleman real
ICES what would happen if the gen.
eral public were to follow his eX-
ample? We wonder if he realizes
that the Columbia theater gives stea-
dy employment to sixteen people,
other than the members of the COM
pany now playing there; that the
Coliseum has fifteen people regularly
on it's payroll, not counting the
vaudeville artists that appear there;
that Murray Anderson's provides thir-
teen men and women with employ
ment weekly? That the Lion theater
carries a working staff of twelve, the
Empress employs ten workers, the
Arizona seven and the Lamara, Re
gale and Plaza five each? Nine
places OF amusement employing SIS
Arizona republican., 1914-12-06

and heat. printing and advertising.
Three thousands would not pay the
weekly expenditures of these places,
not counting the salaries paid to
artists nor the rental for the films.
The Columbia and Coliseum pay Il
large amount each week to the COM
panies employed there, the bulk of
which is spent right here in Phoenix.
Cut away the patronage of these
places and several hundred people
will feel the pinch of hunger and
the number of cases needing aid will
noticeably increase.
1t is quite true that times are hard
and that money is tight: but the
times are not nearly as hard as Il
great many people would make them
out to be and money would not be
nearly as tight if those who have it,
and they are many, would put some
| of it in circulation.
The people who provide public
amusements are the most charitable
and liberal in the world. They pay
the highest salaries, are the first to
contribute to public charities and do
more for nothing than any other
business that exists and they are
the first to feel the pinch of hard
times. They provide at a very small
cost a real means of forgetting the
cares and troubles of the day and
are great public necessity and ben
eft If ever there was a time when
people with money to spare should
spend it on amusements it is now, it
will not only help themselves but it
will help the whole public in hum
dred different ways. If only people
/ in general would not so greatly mag
| nifty adverse conditions. if the ca
amity howlers would stop their
plating and those who have
money would put it in circula
ton there would be very little real
reason for people to complain.
AS a matter of fact there is very
| little reason to complain anyway.
Compared to the balance of the coun-
try Phoenix is wonderfully prosperous
and if we have not the price of a suit
| of clothes at least we have climate
where very little clothing goes a
| long way This is the time to
| BOOST and not to KNOCK and the
sooner we realize it the less there
will he to knock about Don't you

was some delay in preparing an Ella

fill the intervening two weeks, took
the first manuscript he came upon

great success and ran not merely

months. This device, however, does

FARRAR A REAL "CARMEN"

In her long delayed appearance as
Carmen" Geraldine Farrar seems to
have realized one of the great ambl-
tions of her life, for in this very
difficult role which has been the
rock on which so many great artists
have been wrecked. she has won the
very warm approval of both the cri-
tics and the public. After the first
performance the critics generally We're
cordial in their treatment of the
prima donnas work but held their
opinions in reserve. However, after
the second performance of the opera
last Friday the flood gates were open
ed and they gave Miss Farrar most
unstinted praise
Probably no recent operate event
| in recent years has been more looked
| forward to than this favorite daught-
| er's debut as the wonderful gypsy
| that made Bizet's reputation. The
whole public waited impatiently
through two seasons and now it
seems fully satisfied Her interpreta-
ton of the role seeis to be wholly
human and quite logical. She makes
Carmen" a heartless mink, living
| but for the moment and fitting from
| love to love as bee fits from

seribed as "equalling, if not surpass-
| ing that of any Of the long line OF
Carmens which have gone before.
| For it." one critic says. I'VE can
forgive both her Marguerite and her

her phrasing and her expression OF
the sense of the music were beyond
all praise for their subtelty and de-

heights of Miss Farrars attachments

breast of Kala. the great ape.
Once satisfied that Clayton was dead.
Kerchak turned his attention to the
thing which lay upon the bed. covered
by piece of sailclotb.
A moment he let his fingers sink
deep into the cold flesh, and then, real
izing that she was already dead, he
turned from her to examine the con-
tents of the room, nor did he again
modest the body of either Lady Alice
or Sir John.
The rifle hanging upon the wall
caught his first attention. 1t was for
this strange. death dealing thunder
stick that he had yearned for months:
but. now that it was within his grasp.
he scarcely had the temerity to seize it,
Finally the rifle was torn from its
hook and lay in the grasp of the great
brute. Finding that it harmed him
not. Kerchak began to examine it
closely
During all these operations the apes
who had entered sat huddled near the
door watching their chief. while those
outside strained and crowded to catch
glimpse of what transpired within.
Suddenly Kerchak's finger closed
upon the trigger. there was a deafen-
ing roar in the little room. and the
apes at and beyond the door fell over
one another in their wild anxiety to
escape.
Kerchak was equally frightened-so
frightened. in fact. that he quite for
got to throw aside the author of that
fearful noise. but bolted for the door
with it tightly clutched in one hand
AS he passed through the opening
the front sight of the rife caught upon
the edge of the inswung door with suf-
ficient force to close it tightly after the
fleeing ape.
When Kerchak came to halt a short
distance from the cabin and discov-
cred that he still held the rifle he drop
ped it as though it had burned him,
nor did he again essay to recover it.
The noise had been too much for his
brute nerves. but he was now quite
convinced that the terrible stick was
quite harmless by itself if left alone.
The cleverly constructed latch which
Clayton had made for the door had
sprung as Kerchak passed out. nor
could the apes find means of ingress
through the heavily barred windows
Kala had not once come to earth
with her little adopted babe. but now
Kerchak called to her to descend with
the rest. and as there was no note of
anger in his voice she dropped lightly
from branch to branch and joined the
others on their homeward march.
Those of the apes who attempted to
examine Kala's strange baby were re-
pulsed with barred fangs and menacing
growls. accompanied by words Of
warning from Kala.
When they assured her that they
meant the child no harm she permitted
them to come close. but would not al
low them to touch her charge.
1t was as though she knew that her
baby was frail and delicate and feared
lest the. rough hands of her fellows
might injure the little thing.
