Kick Is Swimming Stroke for 1915

not possess, a clear view of what every
opponent was doing.
Swim with the head low so that your
legs will float nearer the surface has
been one of the first instructions given
by the coaches in Australia TO racing
swimmers; and this has been followed by
injunctiOnS to work the arms fast and
the legs in unison with them and TO roll
the body slightly from side to side SO
that from the hips up II should assist the
arms and make breathing easier. But all
these requirements, it is pointed out by
experts here. are more than met by the
"kshanamoku" or independent kick"
According to these same experts this
kick originated in the fresh water baths
of the eastern United States where the
more rapid movement of the legs was
necessary to overcome the less buoyant
fresh water as AGAINST the salt water
baths of Australia where the crawl was
evolved. But this opinion seems pretty
far fetched when one bears In mind that
Kahanamoku belongs to race Of island
ers who have no Superiors in the world
as swimmers and that his prowess Is
likely instructive rather than the result
OF any artificial conditions. =
However that may be, the Australian
swimmers admit now that they have seen
him race. that the Dukes" kick serves
all the purposes of the crawl" and that
il is mpch faster and needs less exertion
than their own method of locomotion in
the water. Before Kahanamoku went to
the Antipodes there was some skepti-
ism about his achievements, but IL van
ished after his lfrst psrformance.

generally speaking, and Australia pos
sesses many frst-class performers in the
water. 1t is more than likely that the
HonOlulan's style will have to be taken
up if Australia hopes to keep up its rec
ord.
The popular view OF the Hawaiian's
victory-although he was beaten by an
Australian in one of the three races in
which he participated-is perhaps best
expressed in this comment by a Sydney
newspaper:
'Kahanamoku has justified all that
was said of him. 1t was not mere ply
sique that did it, for although his ply
sique Is fine, il is not indispensable.
No doubt the fact that he is practically
a waterman, and has lived in the water
ever since soon after he was born. haA

lians have been wateTmen In almost

CRANE AND HARUM
 AT THE ARIZONA

William H. Crane in David Harum' was the Famous Player feature at the Arizona theater last night and will be shown there again this evening. Nat urally il is a most interesting picture, with MT. Crane as the central figure it could not well be otherwise.
 The picture itself is bully, full of charm and humor and through it all the counterfeiters plot lends a thread of excitement that keeps one on the alert at all times. It more than came up to expectations and that is saying a great deal This was MT. Cranes first appearance in the movies and it is cer- tainly to be hoped that he will immor- tallze many of his other famous roles, saving them for posterity in the form of moving pictures.
 The second of the Paramount South American Travel series was shown last night and, like David Harum' will be repeated tonight. These pictures are not only instructive but extremely interesting and are sure to prove inn mensely popular.

Phoenix Fire Department Lends Aid to Romaine Fielding In Production of Another Thrilling Ari- zona Moving Picture

The Phoenix fire department had a hard time of it yesterday morning and incidentally the individual members won for themselves nationwide fame. And again incid 9ntally they Gemon- strated that they are ready for any eme1 gency from preventing the de- Ntruction of a business block to carry ing to safety a yoIng Wo4ran over come from smClse and abandoned on the upper floors of a rooming house.
 Hundreds of citizens witnessed the good work of the department yester- day morning, but strange to say, des pite the apparent seriousness of the situation and the known presence of many members of the volunteer fire department, no volunteer or private ci- tizen offered a hand, not even when it became apparent that girl was with in the building from the open windows of which smoke was pouring in clouds and up to which the firemen had run their scaling ladders. It is true that cheers rent the air as Captain Wright and Fireman Paddock bore the limp form of Winnie Burns from the smoke laden window and proceeded down the ladder, that cheers rent the air, and it is true too, that other cheers rent the air when Romaine Fielding, star and manager of the Lubin Arizona" nov ing picture company, thrust his head from the same window and half crawled and half slid down the ladder after having carried his leading woman from the interior of the room in the Den Rooming House, to the arms of the firemen waiting at the top of the ladder.
 This and much more occurred yester- day morning on the downtown streets and is now part of the new Arizona picture MT. Fielding and his company have Tn the course of production. There were runs of the big auto trucks, there were demonstrations of quick "geta- ways" from the central fire station there were the usual crowds watching with eager eyes as the apparatus rolled and there was no end of gen uine excitement on the part of hun dreds who actually believed the big Berryhill building was being de- StroYed by fire that was burnin. on the interior and that was sending clouds of smoke from the windows and roof copings. It will be another of the pictures to be released in the near fu- ture in which Phoenix scenes will form the principal part and will embrace two intensely interesting reels.

Charlie Chaplin Makes Laughs at Lion
 There are lots of imitators, but only one real genuine Charlie Chaplin and he brought forth roars of laughter at the Lion last night in the funny farce comedy Dough and Dynamite which is mostly dough- but placed in the hands of Charlie Chaplin gives the dough a new use. This is a return engagement of Dough and Dynamite'' but it is so funny that many are seeing it the second time. Six reels compose the Lion program today and all are good especially the two reel picture Across the Boundary in which Teddy Simpson is featured and the comedy "Ethel's Deadly Alarm Clock in which Fay Tincher plays the lead. Tomorrow the Lion shows Lillian Gish in the Mutual Master picture. ''Enoch Arden and Pboenix people will be interested in knowing that Paul Willis, a Phoenix boy, takes part in this production.
