The RenaIe

Edwin August is coming today to the Regale theater in moving pictures. His masterpiece, Into the Lions Pit will be the feature offering. This is a two reel Powers drama. There is poetic rythm in every scene of this costly and beautiful picture, there are the most picturesque and delightful set tings possible of conception and the throwing of the Christian woman fif- teen feet into the lions pit has the realism to bring the spectator to h's feet gasping. August was attacked bT the lion during the production of tho picture and seriously injured. TNc "t- tack of the lion was. however. elimin- ated from the film. "A Waif of the Desert" is a Nestor western drama that is certain to please. "He Likes Things Upside Down" is an Eclair comedy that is promised to bring no end of laughter.

NAME IS APPRECIATED

The Republican head writer who coined the word "Mesan" last week to fill in a line has the undying respect of the citizens of the town because of the euphonious name which designates a resident from Mesa. Heretofore the word "Mesaite' has been handled about in an all too common manner until it took upon il the sound of Hitite, or HiX- ite. While the new appellation seems t0 plagiariZe the word Mason" yet it can never be confused with the lodge name and will anyway carry with it dignity, and will be even Q further reason why people, when they go away on a visit will be the prouder to say that they are a Mesan.
