HANS HANSON COMING

With the opening of transportation
facilities on the railroads the Phoenix
Amusement company will send the
biggest theatrical company of the sea-
son to the circuit of theaters. For
years the one night stands of the east
and west have greeted the Swedish
dialect play, Hans Hanson" with
packed houses and thousands have en-
joyed the quaint humor of yodling
Hans, the newly landed immigrant
who has such hard time with the
English language. This season the
company carries it's own band and or
chestra, and the playing of the special
ties and the musical numbers will be
an added treat to the comedy which
has withstood the test of so many
years before the public. The dates FOR
engagement are: Isis Theater, Flor
ence Saturday, February 5, with the
Iris Theater at Ray to follow for Mon
day, the 7th, and Hayden at the Ma
tional Tuesday, February 8. The at
traction goes to the Columbia at Phoe-
nix for two nights after the trip to the
copper camp cities. No play that is to
visit Arizona this season should find
more favor than this clever comedy
attraction, and predictions for the big
gest kind of houses are in order. The
two attractions held out by the floods,
the Midgets and the Colored Minstrels,
are still unable to arrange dates to
play the circuit
