LIE ANTIoulTY oE BELLS

As is well known, bells inverted long be

purposes. being attached to chariots and also

pieces of metal riveted together, and often had as
many four sides.
But what is the largest bell in the world? That

Street Car Rules.

We have observed that New York papers are
Tar side. This has to do course the
point at which street shall stop. This like
almost every question in this world, is two-sded,
though we suppose that like every other question
the heavier side will prevail. It was long ago
threshed out in Phoenix in favor of the near side,
the natural side the stopping which is more
likely prevent crossing collisions. That is SO
far see the only argument in favor of the
near side, and there is in spite what we have
said about two sides Of every question, no argu-
ment against it. Probably it is convenient for
1000 people to get off at the near" side
it is for another 1000 to get off at the
'far" side.
We wish to say something nice about the motor
men and conductors of the Phoenix lines during
this bad weather. They accommodatingly stop on
both the far and sides that their passengers
may not have to pillow through the muddy streets.
1t takes little time, throw off
it's schedule, but it kndles a feeling for
the street company.
In this connection would register one com
plaint and that is against the rule in force when
the weather is fair requiring passengers embark
and disembark the right side of the cars Such
a rule is useful and even necessary double track
lines, but there is in its application
single track lines.

DAVID HARUM TURNS
EN- AWAY At COLUMBIA
Second Largest House in History
Greets Ed Redmond in His
Star Part

To the second largest house that
the Columbia has entertained since
it threw open its doors last May the
Redmond company presented David
Harum last night and scored hit
that will go down as the most sub
stantiaI ever recorded by a stock or
ganization in Arizona
In the part Of David Hdrum, Mr..
Redmond gave a portrayal that is ii
masterwork As the lovable old
Yankee horse trader and dispenser
of good cheer Mr. Redmond clinched
the hold his quaint humor and per-
Phoenicians and sent the big house
into peal after peal of laughter
through two hours of real comedy.
Miss Estelle Redmond as Aunt
Polly scored in character part that
gave her the first chance she has
had since coming to Phoenix to
show her real worth. She was de-
light as the sister Of David, kept
close watch over her mischief loving
brother.
one of the real treats Of the bill
was the splendid character bit of
Mr. Erway. As the effeminate bank
clerk he was riot and his contri
button to the show will remain with
those who We're fortunate enough TO
be present for this clever bill Miss
Marvin Hammond departed from her
line to appear in a character Old wo
man and played the part well. Miss
Higgins as Mary Blake was as sweet
and WinsOme as she alone knows how
to be, and Roscoe Harms. the lead
ing man in the thankess part of
John LenoX. was good foil at that
for David. Mr.. Metcalf gave his
usual and clever performance Of the
part entrusted to him and Mr.. Rus
sell and Penfold both scored. Mr.
Mitchell as the Deacon contributed
one of the biggest laughs of the eve
ming with his balky horse in the
mighty clever rain scene.
AS an entertainment David Harum
is a mighty good form of amusement
and the three days it is to run will
hardly prove enough to accommodate
all that will be attracted by this idyl
of the farm. Pierre of the Plains

SUCH A LITTLE QUEEN
HAS z STARS IN CAST
Wonderful Mary Pickford and Car
lyle Blackwell in Charming Pol
locks Great Play.

Mary Pickford. most beloved Of all
moving picture stars, makes the
greatest impression of her ilustrious
career in Claiming Pollocks famous
play Of comedy and sentiment "Sucn
a I.ittle Queen" produced in five
reels by the Famous Players Film
company. The basic theme of the
play is the experience Of a young
queen eXiled by reason OF political
dissention in her own kingdom, who
finds a refuge in America. The little
queen proves that there is not much
difference between royalty and the
common people when they are wreck
ed by The buffets of circumstances.
As her leading man Miss Pickford
has handsome CARLYLE Blackwell, 50
long the leading man with the kalem
company and more recently with the
Reliance program. This combination
Of stars is said to produce the most
wonderfully perfect pictures imagi
nable. for Blackwell's ability is 50
well known and his acting so perfect
a foil to Little Mary as to make
the picture even more Of an artistic
success than the spoken drama was
All who have kept in touch with the
spoken drama remember the startling
and sensational success that follow
ed in the wake of that title. The
picture begins three days run at
the Arizona theater tonight
For sheer charm of story, quaint
ness and daintiness of the central
character honest sentiment and
thrilling truths. this current produc-
ton of the Famous Players Film
company is one of the gems Of the
current dramatic era. The queen after
her exile is. shown beginning life
anew in Harlem flat-in the kitch-
en-. Attending her is Baron CosaCa,
her aide is stephen, the debonair
ruler of an adjoining kingdom, be
trothed to her Tor geographical and
political reasons. A real queen cook
ing lamb chops, jumping with fright
at every blast of the dumb waiter
whistle, putting her shoes in the ice
box. and generally conducting her
self as papiermache royalty. provides
a few Of the~ many humorous mo-
ments of the film.
