WHAT is HAPPENING
HERE JHiS WEEK

THE COLUMBIA is at it again.
With Pete Lawrence and Ursula Nolan
in Peanuts" which did four weeks
run at the Hippodrome, Los Angeles;
Dave Nowlin and Gertrude st. Clair IN
a novelty vocal offering, they were
| the feature last week at the Empress,
San Francisco; Ridden, the Swiss
canary, he correctly initiates the song
birds of every land; and the new I'M
perial company singing pictures, fea-
| turing Selma Hendrickson; the man
| agement has assembled five numbers
that give promise of providing the
evening of satisfactory entertainment.
| Melody and laughter will be the key
note of the coming week at this play
| house; there will be no intricate social
or civic problems to solve via the
| twenty minute sketch route; just mu-
sic, fun and laughter this time.
| Each week the management is get
! ting closer to the desires of its pa
irons and, as nearly as possible it is
their aim to provide bills that will con-
tain something that will appeal to each
one in the audience. Building up a
character for a playhouse takes some
| time; but the Columbia is making
rapid strides and already it has a per-
sonality exclusively it's own. The
music, pictures and acts are distinct
! lively different and the public likes it.
| THE ARIZONA stepped right into
I Oh Of hn1 TT of
on its opening last week. The pretty
appointments and clean atmosphere of
the re-made playhouse appealed to all
and the splendid pictures and unusual
music helped to settle the fate of the
new place quickly. The Arizona is a
hit.
Today and tomorrow it offers an eX
cellent and well varied bill, including
| the Hearst Selig News Pictorial, the
| two-reel Selig drama, Judge Dunns
Decision" in which truth sways JUS
tice and the Vitagraph comedy, Miss
Raffles." featuring Dorothy Kelly and
James Morrison.
The pictures and music at the Ari
iona are exceptional and one cannot
help getting more than their moneys
worth there
RIVERSIDE PARK has succeeded
in finding more novelties with which
to please its patrons than usually fall
to the lot of most amusement projects.
The latest thing on tap is the treasure
hunt provided for this afternoon and If
the weather man will push them
clouds away" it will probably draw the
largest Sunday crowd of the season.
Some time during the early hours
this morning a gang of men went
carefully over the sands of the beach
on the south side of the swimming
pool and sailed them thoroughly with
five dollar gold pieces, silver dollars,
halves. quarters and dimes and horde
of nickles and dimes, in addition to
hundreds of bath. gate and dance
tickets and a season ticket to the park
and swimming pool
This treasure is strewed around
promiscuouslv over the beach at I'M
even depths: but none so deep that
nimble fingers cannot find it; and the
beach is now roped off to prevent tres
passing until this afternoon when they
will be removed and the treasure
grounds opened to entry of everybody
in a bathing suit.
Each and every person in a bathing
suit may dig in the sand and keep
! everything he finds. 1t will be a poor
pair Of hands that does not receive a
good reward for its labor for there will
be 642 treasures to be found and the
aggregate value will amount to One
Hundred Dollars. No restrictions 9th
er than the wearing of a bathing suit
and using only ones hands to dig
to the number of treasures that one
may carry off.
| In addition to the treasure hunt
Alden's Concert Band will give a grand
concert from 80 until s and there
will be a complete change of program
in the picture amphitheater There
will also be a complete change of pic
lures on Monday night
Tomorrow the concrete work about
the new outlet gates in the swimming
pool will be placed in position and
consequently the water will not be let
into the pool before noon. That means
there will be no swimming until late
Monday afternoon. These new outlet
gates allow the emptying of the pool in
a third of the time it took before and
makes it possible to empty and clean
the pool every Sunday and Thursday
night without interfering with the
swimming on either Mondays or Fri
days The water from the we'll now
flows into the pool at the rate of more
than eleven hundred gallons every
minute, more than sixty-five thousand
gallons every hour of the day and the
water is the purest that can be found
anywhere in the Salt River valley.
| THE COLISEUM is putting I'D 9
couple of headline acts this week that
are calculated to knock the block off
of any doubling Thomases. First come
the Dallas Comedy Four, warranted all
wool and a yard wide, with a line of
comedy and song that will drive away
the worst attack of blues in short and
sharp order. Then comes Peg and the
