Move! First Night
 The presentation oi Sinners for the first time on any stage at Sing Sing penitentiary on Christmas night marks something absolutely new in the line of first productions. Many new plays have been tried on the dog but it remained for W illiam A. Brady to make the experiment of try ing out a new one on convicts.

 It is more than safe to say that no first night performance was ever viewed by so strange and attentive an audience and the effect Of the play on the convicts was profound. appar- ently. however, Brady has not a great deal of faith in the judgment of his audience as to the value of his play for he has transported it To Whining ton, Del, for a weeks further trial before bringing it in to New York.
 Whether the play is a success or failure, it was one of the greatest Press Agent stunts ever put through and will bring thousands of dollars worth of free advertising to the brainy manager Whatever the final judg- ment on Sinners" may be, it will certainly be the most talked of play in the country for some time to come "HeIlo Broadway" Is Hello Conan It begins to look very much indeed as though George NJ.

It is a long way to Tiperary, it would seem an even longer way rom the dancing parlors of Broadway to the trenches of Ypres and the Vic toria Cross, the most sought after of all decorations for bravery. Yet thls road has apparently been travelled by Wallace McCutcheon if dispatch to a New York paper is authentic.

He managed to get to the front all right and q few days ago when the Germans were trying to cross bridge at Ypres, he was assigned with de tail of engineers to blow up the bridge Under d heavy artillery and infantry fire the little band approach ed the structure in few skiffs and small barges.

 The departure of McCutcheon, who is an American citizen, for the war created great surprise on Broadway and the news of his brave feat and it's reward, if authentic, will be re- ceived with delight by hosts of peo- pie for he is one of the most popular members of the Lambs and great public favOrite

 Romaine Fielding and the Lubin . Co. will come to Phoenix this week To spend a season in the valley for the purpose of making moving pie lures. As everybody knows, the Lubin Company is one of the fore most organizations in this country and MT Fielding has most envia- Lle reputation as a director. The only strange thing about their com ing is that some company of equal prominence has not been here be- fore.
 Conditions in and about Phoenix are ideal for moving pictures. The wonderfully clear atmosphere and the pepetual sunshine are the breath of life to a movie concern. The scenery in and about the Valley IS especially well adapted to T concern of this kind and We look for some remarkable results to be obtained.
 It will not be the Lubin Company alone that will benefit by their con- ing to Phoenix. the whole valley will reap great good through the adver- Using it will receive and Phoenix will be put on the map in manner in which it never has been before. 1t is to be hoped that the city will realize the good tC be obtained and that everyone will do all in their bower to make the stay of the com pany long one.
