NAPOLEON, THE MONK,
 |S GREAT ATTRACTION

One of the most unique attractions ever booked for Phoenix is scheduled for The Columbia for the last half of this week starting today at 2:15.
 It is nothing more or less than Napoleon" himself, the wonderful ape with the human brain. Napoleon" is somewhat known locally through the pictures, for in the past year he has become quite a star, making several pictures that have been great box of- flee attractions. Now comes the ops portunity to see Napoleon" himself, in the flesh, and see him execute all those marvellous feats that have made scientists wonder if he does not in reality possess mind to reason.
 That Napoleon" has an educated brain there can be no doubt. He can ride a bicycle, drive a motor car smoke, chew, eat with knife and fork and do most any of the sundry human things that come into an every day life. In fact, he does everything but talk and they do say that he can read and write d little.
 Today he will sell papers on the street and make your correct change, he will drive his motor car through the crowds and at The Columbia he puts on real act. not only little tricks but a real lively vaudeville act that stamps him as the king of animal en- tertainers
 Those who have admired him in pie lures will rave about him in real life aud there should be tremendous crowds at The Columbia for the balance of the week
