Through a mishap in shipment the reels of Judith of Bethulia," the wonderful Biograph picture that was to have been the attraction at the Lamara theater yesterday and today failed to arrive, but in it's stead, Manager Barncord had some splen- did reels on hand, notably the two- reel feature, The Antique Engage ment Ring" a Vitagraph feature, with Dorothy Kelly and James Nor rison in the leading parts The rest of the program is excellent Manager Barncord has in store for the lovers of good pictures on Tuesdays pro- gram, the great Kalem picture taken in Samoa, called the Dance of Death in which Verna Mersereau, the great Russian dancer appears in the dance. Alice Joyce and Tom Moore also star in the picture. A visit to the Lamara is well worth while. The four reel feature Judith of Bethulia' will appear at a later date.

TEMPE
FIFTY ACRE GRAIN FIELD
 DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Threshne Separator Also Consumed. Andrace Jepson Suffers the Loss.

Firty acres of grain and a thresh ing machine separator were com petely destroyed by fire on the An drace Jepson ranch south of Tempe Saturday shortly after noon. The gross loss is estimated as between three and four thousand dollars. Part of this will be covered by the insur- ance which was carried on the grain at the rate of one ton per acre and on the separator at about half it's value.
 The Jepson fire is one of a good many that happen about Tempe an nually, due no doubt in some in stances at least to carelessness on the part of the operators of the thresh CTS. How the fire originated Satur- day afternoon is mystery. The threshing crew had just returned from dinner, operations had started and just one sack had been turned out when flames burst forth from the separator. Naturally they spread exceedingly rapidly, envelOping most everything about the stack in no time. Of the threshing outfit prac- tically everything but the engine was destroyed. From the vicinity of the setting, the flames spread like wild fire to all parts of the fifty-acre field Only by quick and rapid work on the part of the threshing crew was the fire retained within its bounds. No doubt had it gained a start in an adjoining field the whole rannb urOIJl6 have bepn consumed
 Most of the grain burned was still in the shocks. the thresher having just moved in from an adjoining field The entire loss falls upon the should CTS of MT Jepson who owned the threshing machine and equipment as well as the grain.

BARRIERS MET HALF WAY.

With the passing of a Sunday clos ing ordinance by the common council for the local barber shops, the pro- prietors will in turn have to pay quarterly licenses for their chairs and baths Such a conclusion has been arrived at by the ordinance com mittee of the council who were given an ordinance relative to the Sunday closing some time ago to pass upon. A majority of the barbers wanted a general closing on the Sabbath, but to make it include all the local shops. an order from the city officials will be necessary. The order will be passed o. K. too, but in return the barbers will have to pay quarterly licenses for each bath and each chair in their shops. The new ordinance will likely be passed this week. In the meantime most of the shops are already observing the Sabbath as a day of rest

The Reqale

Florence Lawrence is coming again to the Regale theater today in Victor three-reel drama, The False Bride This play marks new de parture for Miss Lawrence, the mag netic genius of the screen. Miss Lawrence plays a double -ole, that Of young wife, wholesome. and high spirited, and Amy St. Clair, a creature of the underworld One is supposed to be an exact duplicate of the other in face and physique, but radically different in temperament and morals. Miss Lawrence in her two roles, accomplishes her mission with a convincing precision and with a skill that at once carries the spec tator off his feet and holds him in a firm grip of interest. "Billy's Adventure" is a Gem comedy of the laugh provoking sort. Altogether it is an excellent Monday bill

At the Sign of the Green Mill

The picture program for the Gar dens tonight is a good one and well up to the excellent standard that has been set in the great outdoor the ater right in town. The leading feature of the program is White SquaW," a two-~eel Bison with Will liam Clifford and Phyllis Gordon in the leading parts. The other parts Of the program are 'Snobbery," a Nestor drama, and Mike and Jake at the Beach, a Joker comedy. The attendance at the Gardens is in creasing every night. The cooling spot for Phoenix is gaining greate. popularity. The increase in size of the dance floor has added a lot to the attraction of the place, to say nothing of the fine work of the or chestra. Last evening the cafe had an extraordinary degree of populari- ty, the public seeming suddenly to become aware of the fact that a good place to eat is right inside the amusement park.
