Columbia

Down at the Columbia the success of the theater de luxe this week, as well as every week since the house opened it's doors, is the combination of the best obtainable in vaudeville, coupled with the coziest house, best ventilated and best seated to be foundin Arizono. It is a combination hard to beat. The coolest spot in the town the slogan of the theater, is not just a phrase used inadvisedly but is a fact that the patron who is seeking amusement is beginning to find out daily. It is so comfy, and so cool in the pretty play house that it is a pleasure to sit and enjoy the chow instead of torture as IS the case in most of the houses where no cooling system is in opera ton. The big fan which forces the air through the apperatures in the floor of the Columbia is more than eight feet in diameter and sends a cool draft continually up through the body of the auditorium. You only have to be convinced once and that too is pos sible only by paying visit. This week the good show is finding favor with better houses each night, for the word is going out that if you really want the cool spot the Columbia is the place.

 In the last three weeks, according to Examiner Harkins also the cashier of the bank, there has been what was termed a mild run on the bank, causing a depletion of about s1,000,000 in de- posits.
 The La Sale Trust & Savings bank. the president of which is William Lor- inner, unseated from the United States senate, was the main institution, the three others being outlying banks whose balance and reserves were car ried to a great extent by the La Sale street bank. Chief Bank Examiner Daniels Harkin said tonight he ex- pected to see the La Salle Trust x Savings open for bushes next week.

Omis sion of reference to the method of succession, and the flat statement that on a certain date a provisional government shall arise in Mexico, to which the United States will accord recognition, satisfies the insistence of the American delegation that no steps will be taken that may be construed as a recognition of Huerta

At the Lion

The program at the Lion theater today contains a Keystone comedy that's entirely too funny to be miss ed. Of all the burlesque rough stuff that Mack Sonnet ever thought of "Barnyard Flirtations" has got them all beat. In "Barnyard Flirtations" everybody does acrobatic stunts. even the farmers daughter earns her sal- ary and the spectators do nothing but laugh from the start to finish. It's certainly a funny picture. The feature at the Lion today, is a two reel Domino production entitled "Freckles,' which is a splendid drama with lots of action. It is well acted and splendidly photographed Anoth- CT film that will be liked is "The In- dependence of Susan," an American production. It is the story of a wo- man homesteader and is very inter- esting.
