THE PRICE OF POWER
 STIRRING LABOR PLAY

A remarkable play is "The Price of Power" the Fine Arts-Triangle pro- ductiOn, coming to the Arizona theater today. It is full of realism in showing a modern cotton mill in operation and a strike in which brickbats and clubs figure.
 Orrin Johnson plays with versatility three different roles, representing the same man under different circum- stances and at various times in his career. Gladys Brockwell is realistic in her characterization of the factory girl who wins the ambitious young me- chanic. Vera Lewis as the wife of the magnate makes clear the shallow, friv- olous nature that spells her son and forgets her husband as soon as he is out of her sight. SpottiswOode Aitken is cast as the aged father of the work ing girl.
 There is a Triangle Keystone, with Fred Mace, which will be great.
 With matinee and two shows to- night one of the greatest pictures to visit Phoenix since the first movie went on the screen will have concluded it's stay "The Neer-Do-W Well' is such a good picture that one has to look for expression to fit it when the average picture is compared. It is a real type picture with its wealth of scenic color and it's expressing story. The play follows the fascinating book by Beach so closely that it leaves little to be de- sired by those who know the story that way. With it's Panamanian seen cry and the peep that it gives at the canal and the natives, it finds a ready response in the eyes of those who fol- low closely the best in pictures Il concludes its stay with the record fo( the Columbia under the present man. agement and is followed by Valli Valli in good picture, Her Debt of Honor"

My La9y's Slipper Today at the Lion
 For the last time today the Lion theater presents charming Anita Stewart, supported by Earle Williams. Jos. Kilgour, Wm. Shea and number of other vitagraph stars in the five act Blue Ribbon Feature My Lady's Slipper" from the novel by Cyrus Townsend Brady. It is a gorgeous production with scenes laid in the time of Louis XVI and the settings and customs are typical of those days of silks and satins, when men bowed low and kissed the finger tips of the danes and damsels. The story is very interesting and concerns an American who lands in France and turns highwayman. Miss Anita Stew art is perfectly beautiful in her part as Countess Gabrielle de Villars and the entire supporting cast excellent Today is the last chance to see My Lady's Slipper Tomorrow "The Drag Net" featuring Wheeler Oakman and Harry Mestayer will hold the screen.
