DIFFICULT HARP IS WELL
 PLAYED BY UMH0Lz BROS.

The harp is one of the most diff ficult instruments to play that there is on earth. A poor harpist can be told as far as the tones can carry, and at the same time the art is so difficult that an excellent harpists efforts often fall flat because of the general public lack of appreciation of the beauties of the wonderful in- strument. But the reception that was given to Umholz brothers last night at the Coliseum, when one of them made two appearances in which the harp was prominent feature, made it forever clear that the harp is appreciated in Phoenix. Their work with the saXaphones, violin and comets was also sensational.
 Another act that is deserving of commendation is the combination ventriloquist, telepathy, presentation by Veilette and Olds. Chief of Police Brisbos who was in the audience was heard to remark that the two would be valuable adjuncts to any police force so uncanny is their knowledge. The Isis portion of the performance reminds the spectator of the printed stories of the "Perils of Pauline"
 The other acts are equally good. Hensely and Murray made hit. and Raymond and Wilbur did likewise Altogether it is a great bill that is at the Coliseu mthis week.
