THE AUTHOR OF DIXIE

DeIving into musty tones Of must
ago, newspaper correspondent has
discovered in one j. Newcomb new
author of Dixie" the song. with
music by ]. c. Viereck, having been
published. according to this CORE
spondent at New Orleans in 1860.
His evidence. if in the form of the
music sheet itself. would seem to be
conclusive and a much debated ques-
ton laid at rest Heretofore Dan"
Emmett, the minstrel, hag been the
generally accredited author. though
his claims are based more on tradi-
ton than on documentary proofs.
Disputed authorship is not infre-
quent. The authorship of the Ho-
merle poems is disputed; in fact,
some scholars deny the existence of
an individual Homer. Reams of
paper have been filled to show that
VIII of StratfOrd never wrote his
own plays. Dixie" only has been
following illustrious precedents.
But after all. like the play. the
songs the thing There is little
more than academic satisfaction in
distributing honors Of authorship
which in the nature of things must
be usually posthumous.
Dixie" is now the nations pro
perty. Written first as a local melo-
dy. its Tilt and swing rallied many
a confederate heart, and. now that
the cOnfederacv is no more the song
continues an inspiration to the ma
ton. It's appeal reaches all sections
and all classes it arouses enthusi =
assn in the far camps of the west
and it melts to applause the icy in
tellectuals who gather at Chatauqua
lake.

throughout his speech. He spoke of the
events which led up to the war of 1872.
pointing out their similarity to the
present time. and gave a brief resume
of the events of that conflict Con-
trary to popular belief. he said. prac-
tically everything that the United
States attempted in that war was a
failure. and the most important VIC
tory by our forces was won after the
treaty of peace was signed. At the
close he made a strong plea for uni

ADJUSTMENTS
The Regale

The first real program supplied by
the Mutual agency to Manager Davis
of the Regale theater. will be that
one which opens there today. 1t
comes under the new contract enter
ed into between Managers Finney and
Davis, and promises great deal in
the. way of good pictures if the open
ing gun is to be believed. The fea-
ture picture is The Dream Child" an
American Film company drama with
Ed CoXen and Winifred Greenwood as
the leading characters in the play.
The ability of these two in movies is
too well known in Phoenix to call for
any further description. They will be
supported by an adequate cast. The
rest of the program will be of two
excellent single reels one of them Il
comedy of class while the other will
be equally entertaining.

In "Aristoeracy," by Bronson How
ard, play renowned in two continents,
Mr.. Tyrone Power. the famous star
whose wonderful portrayal of the
drainman. in The Servant in the
House" thrilled the whole country,
again plays the role of a mon of the
people, who backs the aristocracy of
worth against that of birth. This time
Mr.. Power does not play a workman,
but rich American. jefferson Stock
ton, who through his own untiring en-
ergy has risen to high place among
the Captains of Industry of the great
west. but whose success has left him
unspoiled and contemptuous of the
shams and nsincerities of the sO-called
"aristocracy' of America and Europe

MISS VAN TYNE, STAR,
MAKES BOW IN PHOENIX

Little Adalyn Van Tyne, the Lit
production at the Columbia last night.
was the center of attraction, for she
is Phoenix Girl, and although of
few years, full of the evidences of
histrionic ability. She is Won
derful child, and natural actress.
Miss Van Tyne attempted her best
role last night, when she accepted
the lead in Edward Peples drama
of wartime, but she accounted splen-
didly for herself.
She had mighty good support in
Mr. Redmond, as the faithful old
slave Hugh Netcalf as the dashing
Union Colonel, and Mr.. Erway, Mr..
Penfold, and cast Of some thirty
speaking parts. who all acquitted
themselves in fine shape.
The Littlest Rebel is war play
and as such it upholds its title in
the production given on the local
stage. The battle scene is as good
mimic bit Of realism as has ever
done by any company. travelling or
fixture. and il will serve to pack
the house all week, unless all signs
fail.
The Lttlest Rebel comes near be-
ing a match for many road produc-
tons, and the packed house which
last night saw the initial perform
ance will be press agent for the
rest of the week.

ONLY FOUR DAYS
TO BUNDLE DAY.
Send Clothing for Poor Children to
the Grammar Schools.

There are only four days between
now and next Saturday. What of
?" some one may inquire. There
is good deaf of it. Saturday is
the day when the ladies of the
Parent Teachers association of the
city schools will meet to sort. re-
pare and make arrangements for
the distribution of clothing.
The association first announced
Saturday that the clothing would be
needed and asked that those moth
ers who have clothing which their
own children have out-grovn. send
it to one OF the grammar schools.
Since then Sunday and holiday
have interviewed, thus reducing, the
time to Bundle Day" to four DAYS
In almost every average family
there is one or more articles of
clothing which can be spared, to
make some little boy or girl COM
Portable and happy, chance now
denied The ladies of the associa =
ton say that shirts are most needed
but any article of clothing that is
rot beyond repair will be acceptable
and will find greatful wearer
Not one mother in ten in Phoe-
nix has an idea of the number OF
poor children in need of clothing
The teachers of the schools frs;
found it out. and they have COM
municated the information to the

have taken this step to fit the poor

There may be some mothers who

From the attendance at the Emp

of the British force. he spoke of the
present day need of patriotism and
decried the party system of govern
ment To-day, he said, it is not pat
riotism that salutes the flag, its pat
riotsm that bites the pie of some po-
iitical e-counter. Washington be-
lieved in a government of personality.
He was not partisan. as that word is
used today
Referring to the Mexican situation.
he said this country had attempted to
draw a distinction between butchers.
and that the sale of munitions and
arms to the factions in that country by
a nation that protested to love peace
was hypocrisy. Selling arms and
talking peace. he declared, was a ru
nous policy bound sooner or later to
cmbroil us in trouble with European
nations who were already beginning to
search our ships as a result of our
policy. But we have to take it," he
added We have said that we're too
good to fight but we'll sell other ma
tions the stuff if they want it." In
closing. Attorney Fisher painted a
strong climax. comparing the character
of Washington to the great snow
crowned peak of Mount Shasta. rising
above the other mountains of the range
and presenting a strong contrast to the
belching volcano.
At the close of the program Chair
man Fennemore mades hort and fit

addition to those reels. there are 9TH

well as the pictures of the trip of the
