ed, to say that one Republican will
be elected from these five States. That
would make a, gain Of nine seats for
the Republicans, without the Vice,
President, giving not only control, but
a working majority. Furthermore, it
is pertinent to ask, in the event of
tariff revision, where will the Louisi-

Jimmie Lee at the Coliseum

To say that "A Devil of a Scrape" is good show is to put it mildly, and the way that this comedy is being received at the Coliseum is proof positive that Phoenix knows what musical comedy is like. It took the Lee company less than five minutes after the rise of the curtain last night to get the audience with them and until the final curtain applause and laughter were continuous, in fact the show was brought to a standstill several times by the laughter which swept through the house. Ma deline Lee proved to be a real com medienne as well as a prima donna, her comedy and her makeup are both very funny. With the assistance Of Tommy Burns she sang a very funny duet, She Used To Be the Slowest in the Town followed by the original dingbat tango. She also sang I'm Looking for a Nice Young Fellow" big hit. Frank Nack helped the funny comedy along with a number entitled Tn Georgia, Phyliss

 Miss Pickford's portrayal of the lit tie character of George Sands famous story is said to be exquisite beyond compare and the picture will live as long as the book It is always delight to see this splendid artist work and in this picture she has a role that is suit ed to her as perhaps no other which she has ever played.
 Another interesting thing about "Fanchon the Cricket" is that, coming immediately after The Goose Girl, it gives the ardent supporters of Miss Pickford and Marguerite Clark a splen- did opportunity to compare the work of their favorites. It will be shown at the Arizona tonight, tomorrow anH Thursday.

Strong Edison Feature at Empress

Strong EdIso1 FeaturH at 6mPress
 The four-part Edison feature, Through Turbulent Waters" was very well received at the Empress last evening and promises to be a good drawing card tonight. The graphic little star Gertrude Mccoy surely wins her way into the hearts of the crowd as they watch her through the different plots and the many thrilling complications that arise from time to time. This feat- ure deals with hypnotic power and is one of those human interest pie lures which grip the attention of the audience and hold it clear through. The funny side of the program is well supported by a Ka1em comedy with the famous Lloyd Hamilton and Bud Duncan, known as The Liberty
