Uncle Tom Coming

Uncle Toms Cabin" an immortal play, is greeted as welcome visitor everywhere. One cannot help but wonder how it is that Uncle Tom s Cabin" always proves drawing card, and yet there is nothing very wonderful about it, once the plot and presentation of this realistic drama is taken into consideration. We have all read the book of Uncle Tom S Cabin many times and always with absorbing interest, and it seems as if we enjoy the last better than the first. Uncle Toms Cabin" will never wear out There is that about the plot, a combination of drama, comedy, wit, humor and pathos all
 blended so naturally and realistically
 that the audience likes it all and
 their sympathies are aroused to such degree that it makes them feel as if they were witnessing a drama of real life. Burk's big Uncle Toms Cabin Co.," is the largest and best presenting this popular drama. Don't fail to see this one at the Elks the ater, March 20 and 21, Saturday mati-

Again, IS the op- ening of the olio, Harris demonstrates his ability as a monologue artist much to the delight of everyone present His pantomime dancing speciality is the best seen here in many moons. A musical act fol- lows. in which the performers use both comets and chimes, with very pleasing result. The feature of this part of the program is the masterful handling of a difficult triple tongue cornet selection. Last, comes the feature act of the bill In an appro- priate set, the performer offers ab- solutely the most clever hoop rolling act ever seen on a local stage The act is a varied one, embracing hoop rolling in all it's branches, to say nothing of juggling specialties galore. using rolling hoops at all times. Then, the tricks with the strings de- mand attention, and as a finale of this speciality he performs the al most unbelievable feat of making a hoop jump and roll on four separate strings, and all in the course of the distance of the width of the stage.
 Taken all in all, the Nashville Stu dents are easily the vaudeville hit of the season, and the show will no doubt command crowded houses al each performance.

About Henry Gunson

The Boston Ideal Opera Company were fortunate in securing the services of Henry Gunson as leading tenor for the engagement at the Empress Thea ter
 MT. Gunson is one of the best known tenors in the United States A native of Washington, he began his profes- sional career with Jefferson De Ange- lis. After a brief season he became a member of the famous Augustin Daly Co, in New York City, remaining eight years. The Daly Company has prob ably turned out more noted theatrical people than any other similar company and a course of instruction there means that the recipient has received the best stage training known up to the time of David Belasco. After leav- ing the Daly Company, MT. Gunson joined Henriette Crossman and was with this artist two seasons.
 Then followed two years with Wilton Lackaye, after which he associated with Miss Andrews in vaudeville and also for one season with the Boston Ideal Company. MT. Gunson has a fine stage presence and a ringing robusc tenor voice. which will be heard to splendid advantage in the opening opera of Fra Diavolo."

Weather Bureau Sends Man to White Mountains for Observations on Fall of "Beautiful' on Central Mountain Range

Equipped with snow saws, snoW- i scales, snow measuring sticks and host of other snow doojiggers, hither- to unheard of outside the weather of fees.

His intention is to measure the red snow of the White mountains, to see how much | green stuff it will produce when properly melted. strained through the Roosevelt irrigation system and ap- piled to the land of the Salt River | valley. It is called red snow be- cause on a map of the central noun tain range, prepared by the weather office. the snow covered areas are marked in bright scarlet
 At Winslow, Meaker takes an auto mobile as far as Snowflake-a proper destination for a man who's going to 1 measure snowfall. At Snowfall he takes to his sturdy tan brogans and the spiked hoofs of sundry pack and saddle stock to explore the recesses of the hills.
 He does not know how long he will be away, but he is allowing himself plenty of time to exercise all the strange instruments he is taking along In his duffle there will be two two-inch galvanized iron tubes, five feet long, and tipped at one end with saw teeth. These are for cut ting out sections of snow. to enable lo Axyra1n i of understrata. Long iron rods,
 scaled in inches will be used to tap the cold stores of winter bound moisture to ascertain depth. Other instruments peculiar to snow mea surement include the scales, which register automatically the depth and amount of fall.

That Green Via

Society in the big city" was start led not long ago by the announce lnent that colored wigs would be the order of the day. Some flatly re- fused to consider it, while others were interested, and in the meantime the colored wig came in for more abuse and condemnation than did the famed tango. However. the rolored wig bug" has reached Phoenix, and is on exhibition in a catchy manner on the head of Miss Madeline Rowe at the Empress all this week. While the wig made its initial appearances only last evening. and is a green one, at that, still the possibilities of the fad are evident, and the appear ance has caused no end of comment among the feminine contingent of the city. A special announcement is made by Miss Rowe that this head gear will be worn by her all the week, and she will thus offer her sisters" all a chance to have a look

Students Make Hit

While it is well known fact that tabloid is the reigning form of amusement today, it remained for the Nashville Students, who opened at the Coliseum last night to a capacity house, to offer a tabloid minstrel show. This is exactly what the com
 pany is presenting, and the success they met with was more than well merited. With a regulation minstrel first part" the songs and jokes come fast and furious, while the audience was kept in roars of laughter. Har- ris, the principal end man, is deserv- ing of berth with any of the big minstrel productions; his makeup is enough to cause mysteries. to say nothing of the exceedingly clever

There will be Money Musk, Turkey in the Straw Virginia Reel. and many of the all most forgotten airs of a decade ago The rivalry for the first prize mid the ranks of the old wielders of the horse-hair bow is said to be keer and it is expected that the fiddlers contest will be up to the standard set by the Savoy management in the several innovations they have ori- ginated. This will be the last per formance of "The Battle of Pickle Hill" and on Thursday the manage ment will offer nameless play that has been in rehearsal for some time It is said to be a real novelty inas- much as it will serve to show what can be done in the way of home production, for the bill was writer by MT.

The chief feature at the Lamara today, the opening bill of the Kleine weekly attractions, is The Black Circle" a crime play in three reels telling vividly and well the story of the operations of a secret society which preyed upon the rich of a European capital. The Kleine people delight in these mystery plays and this one packed the house yesterday. It will run again all day today. The fourth reel tells the story of a pretty steno. who has to make herself ugly in order to obtain a position without being annoyed by unwelcome atten- tions.

Plaza Theater

A tree story of "The Miners Destiny a startling two-reel Pathe Play special is the chief feature at Manager Cava- ness Theater today. The film is founded on fact and is picture of ab- sorbing interest. The story is fault lessly told, tending to show the help lesness of mortals in the hands of fate "The Suwanee River" a beautiful Selig picture, is also good enough to be a head liner. The whole program is good but it is enlivened by the effect of the Wurlitzer moving picture player, the best instrument of its kind in the southwest which has recently been in- stalled.
