they have offered an agricultural
medal.
Capt. ]. r. Minter, during his whole
life, was a worker for education and
agriculture. No more fitting monu-
ment could be erected in his memory.
The two medals represent the great
aim Of his life, better education and
more scientific farming.
1t is indeed very gratifying to find
his children furthcring his efforts
along these lines. The way to reach
the hearts OF our people is by the
spoken word, therefore the boys must
cultivate that faculty so as to be able
TO bring right home to the people any
important message they might have
for them. The medal Is an indication
of progress in education and shows
very generous and progressive spirit
on the part of the Mintcr family.
High School OratOrical Contest.
The High School Oratorical Contest

day is going to be the greatest event Of
it's kind ever held in the county. Those

most successful Of any fair in the
state. Miss VII Lou Gray, Miss Jayne
Darlington, Supt. James II. Sullivan
and Prof b. l.. Jones, the leaders in
the movement, are being kept busy
making the final preparations, and
from the outlook at present not less
than six thousand visitors will be in

do so on this occasion. The children

pie OF the city having promised to
fnrnish this. All preparations are now

The Marriage of Columbine," all though designated a comedy. is s1il to have a marked pathetic note ill the experience of little Columbine. a dancing girl in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The scenes of the play take place mainly in the lodgings of Scaramouche, the princi- pal clown of the circus, in the town of Dorchester, toward the end of the last century.
 The players are Charles Hopkins, Herbert Yose Edward Emery, Chas. Hampden, John Edward Emery, Mrs. Hopkins, Louise Closscr Hale, Flea nor Carey. Vera Pole and Linda Bolton. There will be matinees on Fridays and Saturdays.
 This little theater is different froil any other playhouse in New York. The outside is quite fisc1n1tng, with Punch and Judy themselves in bright mosaic on either side of mo facade. and again n the stline1 glass of ths

Each box holds only two; what an inducement for thc sentimental, Furthermore, the dressing rooms for the cast are at the back of what should be the bal cony and d runway goes along be- hind the boxes down to the stage: so perhaps the boXholders will be al lowed to peep through the door and see Columbine and her associates cn route for the tiny stage, which is just half the size of the tiny audi torium.

After many delays and trials and tribulations. the Elks will finally open for the dramatic season on Friday night. The opening attraction will be Gus Hills production of Mutt and Jeff in Mexico" and it will be here for both matinee and evening perform ances. Mutt and Jeff of course are familiar to everyone; but this presen tation of their trials and tribulations is entirely new and is said to be the most elaborate of all the various Mutt ana Jeff shows that have ever been sent out
 The very newest form of entertain ment in Phoenix is dancing. With the opening of Murray -Andersons" last night the whole town seems to have gone dance mad and small blame to them, for surely there never was a dancer like John Murray Anderson in Phoenix before. The exhibition dances that he has been giving every evening have been marvels of grace and beauty and they have appealed to Phoenix people tremendously. In these eXhibi- tions he has been assisted by Helen Beatrice Crane, a charming little art ist who has recently come to Phoenix and quickly made good here.
 The attendance at these dances has been so great that it has been decided to keep the place open every night this week, during which time there will be general public dancing and exhibitions and classes will be formed to run through the winter season. The new place is most attractive and adds some thing quite new to the list of Phoenix amuSementS

A Really New Theater

A theater that is really new, not only the building but the idea loo was opened in New York last Tues day. l. is called the Punch and Judy and it is located on 49th street near Broadway. With this paper going to press on Friday night it is not yet possible to say how the big city liked it's latest toy,
 which is as tiny as it is attractive; but the descriptions of the little place would indicate that it would be q real delight. II opened with The Marriage of Columbine" a comedy in four acts by Harold Chapin.
 "The Marriage of Columbine' nas teen played successfully in England and Scotland, but will be seen for the first time on this side of thc Atlantic next Tuesday evening. liar old Chapin, the author, is well known iu England as q producer and writer 1f short and long plays. He is known to have made study of the folklore of tho English provincial circus, and he gives in this play an intimate view of their home life.

portunity to demonstrate that she is a real prima donna. Not all the art of Lew Fields. under whose di- rection the production was made, could make her attractive to Broad way, and that is something that sel- dom happens. for MT. Fields is one Of the best judges of what will dp- peal to the public of any manager today.
 "Suzi' is supposed to be a Hun garian musical comedy and it was looked forward to as one of the pro- Lable big successes of the season. just to show what vain things eX- pectations are, the New York Times states that it is d crime that such things should be produced and bess that with all the relief committees and societies that are now being formed a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Ito Audiences be added to the list.
 The date of Suzi's obsequies has rot been set as yet but an official announcement is expected hourly.
 Something About Twin Beds Success in the theater is a most elusive thing All things being equal. good play might be supposed to succeed every time and bad play ] fail with equal certainty. but as often : as not, plays that have received uni furmly favorable endorsement from the critics. show no encouraging re- action at the box office. Again, in play that is successful, it is some | times just as difficult to determine which of several qualities is the one that is the magnet for the public.
 Take Margaret Mayo's Twin Beds for example. First of all, it is D rol ] licking, rapid fire farce marked ny 1 the same qualities which made it's author, Margaret Mayo, famous when she wrote Baby Mine Here, as
 in her previous work, she introduces | a vein of tender sentiment whicn 1 hUmanizes and makes real the more | farcial action of the piece. And it is 2 debatable question whether Twin Beds" succeeds because of it's sen
 timent or it's laughter. They both
 probably contribute somewhat to the l general result.

Some idea of the immensity of the production of The Garden of Para disc may be obtained from the ad- vcrtisement of the Liebler Co. which states that it will be made some time during the week of November 16r and contains the following note: "Thc Yastness and intricacy of the mechanical end of the work makes impossible for the present any de- cision as to the exact opening date
