Crisis Draws We'll

With but a few more days re- maining in the Redmond engage ment the Columbia is entertaining nightly the clientel that splendid ag- sregation has built up since it's ar rival in Phoenix some four months ago. The Crisis, which will finsh this week, is a play that is particu- larly appealing to many because of the success of the book from which it was taken. Winston Churchill gave to literature mighty fine book and the dramatic child of the work suffers none from the fame of the original. Miss Mac Clean has not had a better part than that of Virginia Carvel, while MT. Living ston as Captain Brice is at home in the role that fits him line a glove. Mr. Redmond for the first time in the engagement is cast in a role other than comedy and acquits him self with that finness that has al- ways characterized his work. While the Crisis is drawing because of its sterling worth the nightly increase of the business is due to the fact that those who have grown to love the players of this little stock re- alize that in few more days they will bid goodbye to the company and who knows when we shall meet again.

Scientific Device Explained at Lamar

Scientific Device Explained at lanara The probable use to which new in- strument called the Vocaphone can be put as safety device is brought out in the new installment of The EX- | ploits of Elaine, which are to be seen at the Lamara theater today and to-
 morrow This instrument differs some what from the dictaphone, used by De- tective William J. Burns, in that it | not only records a conversation but all so speaks one. Craig Kennedy the sci entific detective. in his attempts to as- sist Elaine Dodge in her efforts to

 As is usual with circumstances, i however, for the nonce they work into 1 the hand of the master criminal for he 1 enters the room of Kennedy almost inn
 mediately after Kennedy leaves them. Elaine about this time finds the Limpy
 Red apers which the Clutching Hand
 wants and calls up Kennedy to ask
 him about them. She is answered by
 The Clutching Hand who gives direc- | tions for himself of course. Then cannes 1 the adventure part of it which is very
 exciting and must be seen to be appre- 1 ciated.
 Interest is increasing as the series of pictures are being shown here as to the
 identity of "The Clutching Hand''. that
 person of sinister design and influence /, who is able to bring science to his as- sistance in performing crimes so read i fly. That he is a person of educa ton 1 and scientific ability goes without

EXCESS WATER SERVICE
 URGED BY SURVEY BOARD
Opening of Project Lands no New Thing-Service to Extend to October
 1-May Be Renewed Then

Secretary Lanes official approval of the extension of excess water supply to lands left out of the project by the survey board has been recef Tat the local offices of the reclamatl ||kervice and now such water is available.
 The opening of excess lands now made possible by the agreement be- tween the water users and the recla- nation service is matter that was approved by the survey board over a year ago. In fact, the recommendation that such lands be served when water storage reached over the million acre feet mark, was one of the prominent things in the original report of the board
 Such water service will endure until October 1, which is the end of the off, cial half year. Whatever will be taken then depends partly on the amount of water that may be stored at the end of the summer irrigation season and partly on the disposition of the various authorities at that time.

 The play which is called "A Peck O'troubles" is of the low comedy kind and requires a full cast of ten prin- ciples and several minor characters and is said to be one of the most ludicrous farces so far produced by the Ellis players.

 FOR TUCSON
Track, Baseball, Band and Supporters Plus the "Cub" Get Away for Old Pueblo to Compete at University Week

Tucson and Victory! That was the yell that the Coyotes shouted as they pulled out on the seven fifteen train for Tucson last evening Down to the big University Week Cele- bration at the State University went the Coyote Baseball team and their supporters while the track team leaves this morning at six o'clock.
 Everybody is happy. The band is going, the baseball team has gone. the track team is going ond Cub IS going too. Yep! The band is going with the teams. It was body to the old school that this was made possible, as yesterday morning there was not enough money to take ihe track team down comfortably, let alone the baseball team and the hand. But an assembly was called and through little gifts of the student body and donations to the fund by the different clubs. the amount of $S5.75 was raised. The clubs of the school donated the following:
 The German Club ...$ 5000
 The Aggie Club .......$ 2.50
 Book and Pen ............s 300
 Spanish Club .$10.00
 Section Twelve .........$ 100
 The Faculty 5000
 The Annual Staff ..$ 300
 The remainder was donated by the students at five and ten cents apiece. The school deserves great credit for the spirit it showed in this movement and they deserve to be victorious in everything they enter at the Meet.
 The Cub is going down to Tucson so the readers of the Republican can get the returns of the week by authentic news and many hours ahead of any other news to be pub lished in Phoenix
