WEEK OF ACTIVITY
 | AT SCHOOL 0F MUSIC
Two Performances That Reflect Credit Upon Institution.

The recent week was one of great activity in the Arizona School Of Music. What with the preparation for the annual presentation of the play by the dramatic class and the week -end concerts of the pupils of the school, there seemed to be some thing doing every moment in the Gen. tral avenue art center.
 The play presented this year was Rose of Plymouth Town" a four-act romantic comedy dealing with the times of the PuritanS, when that dear Boston was scarcely I wide place in the road The actual period was
 two years after the landing of the Pilgrim fathers.
 The amateur actors and actresses. under the direction of Mary Edna
 Styles of the school of expression, gave a very pretty performance of the delightful little story. with the fol- lowing dramatis pIsonae: Miles Standish, captain of Plym-
 outh, Philip Youtz. Garrett Foster of Westons men, James w. DdWSoH
 John Margeson of the colonists George F. Allen.
 Philip de la Noye, brother of Rose William Orth.
 Miriam Chillingsley, cousin of the captain, Delight DeBusk. Barbara Standish, wife to the cap- tain, Ruth McComas.
 Resolute Standish, aunt to the cap tain, Edith Feel.
 Rose de la Noye, Thelma Francis. The play was interpolated with ap- propriate songs and dances, notably bv Helen Firth and Mary Sloan, pu-
 pills of Miss Doris Kingman, and a violin solo by Edith Liebenow. Of the cast, easily the greatest
 talent was shown by Thelma Francis and Miss Edith Feel. James Dawson and George F. Allen excelled in the presentation of the male characters. The program on Saturday afternoon by the younger pupils was the best that has yet been presented by them There was present the largest crowo
 of the season, and the youngsters die themselves really proud in their ef- forts to please the large concourse oi parents and friends.

SOME LABOR TROUBLES Serious Anxiety is Felt in Austria
 Hunoary

VIENNA. April 5-Labor conditions are beginning to cause serious anxiety in official and social circles in Austria Hungary It is reported that there are between three and four hundred thou sand unemployed in the cities and manufacturing centers and but little prospects of any immediate improve ment in the industrial situation At the same time the farmers are com blaming that the country districts are almost without male help, nearly all the able bodied men having emigrate6 to Germany or America. All attempts to remedy the situation in town and country alike have so far proven un- successful.
 Discomfort is increasing fast. The growing number of men out of work threatens to lead to grave trouble. At Budapest and Lemberg recent meet ings of unemployed developed into dis orderly bands which pillaged provision stores and bakeries until they were dispersed by the military It is feared that unless some means of relief are devised very speedily there will be new disorders on still larger scale

"SATAN' OR DRAMA 0F
 HUMANITY AT REGALE
SENSATIONAL FILMS SECURED
 FOR TWO DAYS SHOWING

Satan" or the Drama of Humanity, a wonderfully gripping feature film in five reels, will be shown today and to- morrow at the Regale Theater, 210-212 acted in Italy by the Ambrosia con- pany and the lead, satan, is taken by the most famous Italian actor in the world, supported by a galaxy of stars. It is the most pretentious play ever produced by the famous Italian com pany and since it has been exhibited in this country has met with universal praise, both from the critics and the public in general Although exhibited in many other places at increased prices, Manager Cruckson is offering the feature film to the public at the
 Regale at the regular price of ad- mission.
 The play has been well termed the drama of humanity" It shows Satan
 in all forms and all the means he has taken to tempt poor weak humanity since the beginning of the world In the first reel it shows the attempt to cause the fall of Adam and Eve, the
 success of which is alleged to be re-
 sponsible for all the sins of the world since that time. Following his endeav- OrS among prehistoric man the endeav- OTIS of Satan are shown consecutively since then, including his temptation of
 the Savior and also his work among those professedly opposed to him, such
 as the evil results that follow in the trail of liquor made by monks, and other weaknesses of the church.
 Coming down to the present, the fifth and last reel shows the many in sidious ways in which his Satanic Ma jesty i.s cOrrupting modern society All of the old primaeval sins are still in force and in addition Satan has quail fled as a first-class inventor by the number of new ways shown to corrupt modern morals. The entire play is gripping throughout and the lesson it teaches is both powerful and effective Thes picture will be shown today and tomorrow only.

Tunfefui Scenic Oriental Meianqe Again Out For Public Favor

When Gilbert and Sullivan known then in just the partnership combina- ton as librettists and score writers began to put plot into comic opera. they had a great deal of converse tism to fight They however persist ed in their work until in the later years of their lives they became known as Sir Arthur Sullivan, Eng lands foremost living composer, and Sir William Gilbert, England's fore most light opera producer. This was because they turned out more actual kits than any other team of prom inents in their day and generation.
 The Mikado" was the first of these. It has always been a favor ite. When presented in the larger cities this is always a scenic wonder and a great hit. No less parsonage than De Wolf Hopper himself essay ed gigantic revival of it a few years ago cleaning up" as the say ing is from coast to coast.
 MT Chas. D. Hazelrigg, the capable director of the Boston Ideal Opera Company was fortunate indeed in having several years ago in his com pany, MT. Geo. Byron Browne, who was for years at the Savoy Theatre, London, in the original Gilbert X Sullivan productions and who came to this country with the original Mikado Company playing the part Of Pish Tush. This opportunity present ed many advantages to Hazelrigg, who secured from Browne the correct versions of the operas, as rehearsed by the composer, which now enables him to present and direct it as it should be in its original form exact ly as it was at the first performance in London. The Mikado' is one of the most elaborate productions han died by the Boston Ideals, and with a correct scenic setting, which is beautiful in the extreme is one of the best in their repertoire It opens tonight at the Empress.
