"The Little Girl Next Door"

"The Little Girl Next Door"
 The week to come is signalized by the first appearance in Arizona of one of the most talked of pictures of the year. 'The Little Girl Next Door," It is the pathetic story of pretty school girl who falls a victim to the white slavers, and the results that led to the closing of the greatest segregated dis trict in the United States, Chicago's red light world
 This story was done for pictures by the Illinois vice commission and was run for six weeks at Clune's Broadway theater in Los Angeles, where it holds all records to date. It is not only the story of this little miss who was swept into the vortex of the great social whirlpool in her ignorance, but it is the graphic tale of many d girl who has been lured to a fate worse than death by the willy white shaver. who thrives in every big city. "The Little Girl Next Door" is billed for a showing at the Columbia and will remain for three days and nights. with possibly a spe- cial mothers only matinee. So many women in Los Angeles expressed a de- sire to point out to their growing daughters by means of this wonder picture the pitfalls and perils of indis- cretion that the management of Clune's Broadway conducted a ladies only mat inee.

Famous Players Presented First Pro

 With the coming of September tha Famous Players Film company rounds out It's third year as the producer of a program of motion picture features. me flrst organization to devote itself exclusively to the production of feature pictures in which celebrated stage stars were presented. the Famous Play CTS Film company, likewise formed the nucleus and the inspiration for that great distributing company, the Para mount Pictures corporation. on the program of which it is associated with the Lasky, Morosco and Pallas pro- auctions.
 The productions of the first two con- cerns are released throughout the rest of the world by joint arrangement which has been maintained for the past two years, and which is still further strengthened by the recently formed Famous Players-Lasky cor poration by which these two producing concerns were united.
 One of the earliest and biggest ef- fects upon the motion picture indus trE directly traceabe to the inaugura- lloh of the feature program was the erection or new theaters and the con- version of old legitimate houses to me presentation of feature photoplays. When it was realized that large the aters could be built with the certainty given by the program of being open week in and week out throughout the entire year, the interest of exhibitors and the devotion of capital to the pro- | Ject naturally resulted. Thus many ot 1 the most prominent photoplay theaters Tn existence today were literally bull upon the feature program.

An Interview With the Dolly Sisters
 Obviously the thing to ask the Dolly Sisters IS. How closely Go they find Inc arts of thc theater and of the dance merged ir one another O.. Q put it differently. How closely do hoy find the arts of the theater and nf the dance Nor merged in one Nnother' Again. Do they feel that he two arts are identical and if 80 ID what respect2 Or, Do they feel that the two arts are not identical and if so. in what respect2
 These and other questions will i'm mediatelv occur to persons to whom questions are in the habit of immedi ately occurring. They are at the very nasls ot the whole thing. Inasmuch as the Dolly" are dancers of long ex- perlence amt deserved repute, and in asmuch as they are now making their deputs as actresses in His Bridal Night they are fitted to discuss such weishtr matters Any one who thinks they are not eager to discuss these or any other questions for the public good is greatly mistaken.
 II was some twenty minutes before the performance that the stage man ager knocked on the door of tho Doiiys' dressing room, saying. "A newspaper man C. see you g!rls"

IF THIS WERE ONLY NEW YORK

If Phoenix was anywhere near the size of New York, and the newspapers here were allowed the freedom per taiaing to things theatrical that they are in the metropolis, it is fruitfdl source for thought to wonder if some of The theatrical magnates hereabouts would be treated as Richard Nasn- burn Tully was last week, upon the first presentation ot "The Flame.
 Tully spent over S50,000 in paying for the transportation and expenses of practically every dramatic criu of. ary consequence n the United States. one would naturally think thai having secured the presence of this class of ncwspaperdom's aristo- cracy at such an immense cost, Lis play would receive the iloweriest Kind of praise. Did it It did not.

Dress Worn by Beatrice Nclms when

Atlanta, Co, April 1S.-A white
dress, worn by Beatrice Nelms on her
fata trip to Texas in June, 1914 from
which she never returned, may fix the
responsibility OF the disappearance of
Miss helms and her sister, Mrs ElOise

The dress was found in one of two
trunks belonging TO the prisoners and
brought from San Antonio, Texas, by
detectives employed by the girls
mother. The trunks had been in the
possession Of the San Antonio autnOr-
tiles for more than two years, but
had never been opened. The dress
was identified by the girls mother
and by the salesman from whom she
purchased it.
Several bottles of chemicals and
medicines were also, found in the

to proceed with the actual building OF

No harm will come from giving MI.
Blanchard six Or eight months to
select the route he will use. Rail
roads do not come knocking at the

losing another line through giving Mr..
Blanchard a little time to make the

With this road connecting with Il
