Now that the quantity feature is

his chief attention to the increase OF

that of the creamery. but that Of the
dairymen as well. He recognizes that

Gated by the million-pound record just

knew that without a big output he

MESA CHAMPION
IN BASKET BALL

TEMPE, Dec. Mesa High school
firmly clinched its claim on the val
ley basketball championship when it
won a double-header from the Tempe
team here this afternoon. The boys
piled up the remarkably high score
OF - points against Tempe's 16, and
the girls won by a comparatively
large margin, the score being Il TO 3.
Mesa High, bur once defeated this
season and then by the strong teams
of the northern Normal, has two
hard fighting teams which the clubs
Of the valley have found so far wholly
invincible.
L looked as though there was go
ing to be a really close score in the
boys game this afternoon, for dur
ing the first ten minutes play the
Tempe quintette held their opponents
10 an almost even score Then all of
a sudden the Tempe team tired and
it became dead easy for the boys
Of Mesa to score. Mia Ray and
Ernest Hegi, the latter the same lit
tie Hegi that last year assisted in de-
Tending Tempe's title were the
Mesan's star players.
The girls game was always in
! Mesa's favor. The guards and for
wards Of the visitors were hardened
| to the game and they played unre-
lentingly until the whistle was blown
on the close of the game. The score
was l. to 5.

part bright and early for Florence

THIRD FLOOR
BACK ARTISTIC
PRODUCTION

y Phoenix audience last evening
had the opportunity of Witnessing
marvelOUsly artistic production, artis-
tic in the sense of lines and interpre-
tatlon, fer The Passing of the Third
Floor Back is not a production in
the way of scenery and stage effects
In the prologue. the play and the
epilogue is shown only the one scene
in a commonplace lodging. Yet there
mas never been a play that has so
appealed to the Phoenix theater-
goers as this, in which the great En-
glish actor, Sir Johnston Forbes Rob
ertsOn, is making his farewell tour
in this country. There were calls
without number for he eminent actor,
and at the final fall of the curtain the
audience remained, repeating its ap-
plause again and again as the star
acknowledged its appreciation.
It is not a play, but a series of
dialogue that carry strong senti-
mental appeal that reaches far over
the footlight rail and touches a chord
of sympathy in every heart. The
lines are scintilating. There is com
edy and pathos, delicate yet clever
and acute, for jerome has handled
the theme deity.
Forbes RObertsOns portrayal of the
gentle stranger and friend was ideal
He was that which he typified-the
belief in self that ne brought to each
/ ledger in the sordid house in Blooms
bury Square. 1t is because the people
are real that makes The Passing of
| the Third Floor Back truly great
Every character is real, and their
geruiHeness is not marred by any
| imperfection on the part of the En-
| glish players. Laura Cowie was de-
lightful Her quaint little gestures,
her tricks of voice. everything about
her was altogether charming. Her
| change from the Saucy slattern to the
sweet servant was consistently car
ricd out Every character was dis
| tinctive and made interesting by Il
clever cast.
The Passerby drifts into Il London
| lodging house. where the scene is
laid. He rents the little hall bed
room the third floor back, and the ad-
lvcnt of the stranger brings love
honor and peace into the house, torn
by and beset with all the faults of
which men and women are suscepti-
bic. Gently, yet firmly, he appeals &c
the better self in the cheat, the Stat
tern, The snOb, the bully, the hussy
the shrew. the coward, the cad, the
rogue and the painted lady He
