The first matinee prforInarce oi Nearly Married" ihe second evrell- ent offering of the Audra Alden Players at the Columbia, will be pre- seuted this afternoon. In this con necticn it may be stated that the matinee this afternoon is designated as "harsain."
 While the play is termed farce, 7 it is well within the range of possi- bilitY and that is one reason why Nearly Married" has been such a success wherever played
 Nerv funny situations are brought about naturally. and the characters are just the kind one meets in every day life with probably one exception, Prince Eanjebulle," who is pictures que and more tan makes good with the ladies.
 Every married woman, and her husband IS well should witness Nearly Married" for aside from the funny lines and laughter it produces. there is a bit of wholesome advice that is not lost on those of an ob- serving mind.
 The staging of Nearly Married !" like that Of Jerry" is fully up to road attraction standard. that is what is helping the Audra Alden Players to establish themselves with the best theater patrons in Phoenix as nothing else can.

Badv Osbourn at Lion

The best value of the winter is the verdict of those who have seen Marie Osbourn in her second picture at the Lion. Those who recall the Baby Grand of the movies in her first creation Mary Sunshine" believe that in this newest picture she ec,ipses the record she made in the first one.
 She is as unaffected as natural and as clever as in her first attempt, and shows the true artists from the curly head to the tips of her little pink toes ss she dabbles in the mud puddle with her fish pole.
 She is the greatest child in pie lures. and there are few of her elders who have the right ,o be classed with her, SO say the critics of the coast. In this picture. which plays on the heart strings like q master on a violin. she is q child of a good home who has never seen a negro boy Wher she discovers one her wonder mtnt is perfect, and she has the time of her young life trying to rub the black eff of his face. The story Of Sunshine and Sha1o Is 9 fine one, and gives not only the Baby Grand a great chance to score. but her big supporting company is well supplied to the individual with ma terial to help make an out of the ordinary fotoplay.
 With Baby Marie Osbourn will be seen Pathe serial The Shielding Shadow No, g, and the Pathe News direct from the Orpheum at Los An geles where it is the feature of the weekly bill. This news reel is the fastest picture perodical in the world, Tomorrow comes the much talked of fIve-reel Nitagraph The Last Man, a superpicture of paramount interest. 1t will remain for two days.

COAL SHORTAGE IN AR|zONA

loaded. Sixty per cent went to com mercial orders. Every dealer in Bisbee has been out of coal for days and we want action. We have wired the gen eral manager of the Santa F'e and his reply states there has been no shortage of cars for 30 days at Gallup. We have also wired this morning to the Cover nor of New Mexico asking for his CO., operation. Will you please endeavol to assist us to have coal forwarded to BiSbee and Warren at once.
 A. A. Betts, rate expert for the cor poration commission, and commission CT elect, immediately took steps to see that Bisbee and Warren were at once supplied with coal He wired the traf- fife manager of the Santa Ee in the following words:
 AM Arizona especially Bisbee and Douglas, is suffering for want of coal Allege shortage of cars and confisca- tion by railroad companies of commer- cial shipments in transit. Extremely cold weather prevails and immediate relief is imperative Wire quick sit nation with reference to cars what re- lief can be'afforded and when" i According to the wire from Bisbee, the railroads are claiming that there is no shortage of cars. If that is the case, MT. Retts is at q loss to figure out why there should be a shortage. It is fair i ly certain that the mines in New Mex i ico are producing as much coal as ever and it is equally certain that there is no more coal being burned in i Arizona now than there ever was.
 Plenty of Arizona Coal ! According to several state officials, there is enough high grade coal i'll Ar izona to keep the whole country going for a long time The coal is in the state all right, but it is not on state lands, and at the present time there is no law allowing the taking of minerals from Indian reservations.
 Fred Nelson. prominent Apache county attorney, stated yesterday af- ternoon that there were 309 square miles of coal land north of Winslow The coal is of the highest grade, ac- cording to Nelson. He related yester- day that about 25 years ago, the Santa Fe sent out to the Indian coal fields and brought in enough to fill one en- 1 zine tender. The record that that en- zine made on the Arizona coal was simply amazing. In fact after that memorable run there was a goodiy quantity left over, which lasted for a
 good many years as monument to i unsuccessful ambitions.
 i It was also stated by several north ern officials that there was a project on hand to build wagon road out tC the coal fields and in this manner al leviate the threatened ooal shortage in 1 the north.

In spite of the fact that there are hundreds of square miles of undevel- oped coal lands in the state of Arizo- na, the people of Douglas and Bisbee, are suffering from want ot coal and Phoenix and other towns are in immi- nent danger of feeling the pinch
 The situation in Douglas has been drastic for some time. For the past few days it has reached the danger stage in Bisbee, and the people alarmed at the increasing danger, have wired every available source of help to aid them in their fight for heating fuel, There is not a pound of coal in either Douglas or Risbee for sale. Hun dreds of families have been forced to either go cold or burn their furniture.
 In telegram yesterday to the cor poration commission. the people of Bisbee, were inclined to place the blame for the shortage upon the rail- roads, stating that only sixty per cent of the coal being mined at Gallup and vicinity was being allowed to slip through the fingers of the road. They also claimed that cars of coal con signed % Bisbee were being comman- deered enroute by the railroads.

took several chances in Sister of Six" which did not meet with the approval of her mother or her directors
 During the filming of some of the exciting episodes it became necessary to use real bullets in order to accom- piisn certain results
 For instance at a distance of twenty yards, A. D. Sears, in his role of Don Francisco Garcia, takes deliberate aim at an olla dangling from the hand of Miss Love, and the shot smashes the water jar to bits.
 At first this scene was tried with blank cartridges, but they would not carry the distance required, so with pluck and absolute confidence in the ability of MT Sears, Miss Love held the jar, while a real bullet shattered it out of her hand.

Greatest of Comedies at Ell<'s

To see Mir. Ray F. Brandon as David Har'tm at the Elks theater this week, is to see him at his best in ore of the most difficult roles he has yet played in this city. And every night at this most popular family show house. he is entertaining larger audiences.
 While Mir Brandon's efforts are pleasing in the extreme. the balance of this capable company are cast in characters which suit them very well. in which they can give the audience a manifestation of their ability as performers
 David Harum is one of the great est. most rollicking, of all American comedies It embraces some quaint. but highly humorous back woods philosophy that keeps the audienc., continually laughing. But yet there are cncIgh tragic climaxes to main tain a continual state of expectancy.
