 THE DICTATOR TONIGHT

John Barrymore will appear at the Arizona theater tonight in the Fam ous Players Film Company's enthrall- ing comedy, The Dictator, based on the celebrated novel and stage success of that name by Richard Harding Davis. the production being the current release on the Paramount Program.
 MT. Barrymore impersonates an eX- peditious American youth named Brooke Travers, who temporarily figures as a consul of the United States at the capital of one of the South American republics, and whose proceedings create sort of chaos cf very humorous and comical nature.
 As a comedy, The Dictator" is a roaring success with fun that never lags and an interest which is sus- tained to the last minute. There Is humor of character as well as situ- ations in The Dictator especially when Richard Harding Davis seizes on the traits of the Latin Americans that are most ludicrous to us or colder life and blood. There is humor of situation in many of the adven- lures of the hero, who after sus- picious brawl with a night hawk cabman in New York flees to Latin America and transforms. himself first into the United states consul and thence into the dictator of the little republic, with its troubles both of ficial ana amatory. From the be- ginning to the end the humorous and dramatic incidents of the play come thick and fact. with new com plications constantly succeeding old
 Aside from MT. Barrymores in- comparable impersonation of The Dictator" the cast is most es- tinable one. Robert Frederick makes the most of the role of Colonel Bo- vie, the genuine consul. in thor ougAly talented manner. Walter Craven, as General Campos and as i Latin American president, Is for
