Suffice it is a big i city show and plays the Columbia as the first of a number denied booking because of the fact that they have to move permanent attraction to make room for the traveling companies. There will be a guarantee from the management made to every ticket pur- chaser that this is the only musical company from New York city booked west this season to play Phoenix, and 1t is said to be a clean, high class and splendidly costumed show with the 1 prettiest and best gowned chorus seen in Arizona in several years

After a long session of legitimate drama, and motion pictures, theater- goers of Phoenix are about to be granted a charge when the Columbia opens, after having been dark for mopths, with Bringing Up Father" It is q musical comedy in every re- spect. No attempt has been made to drag plot into the action, but George McManuss dear old character, Path cr,' has been worked over in the life in such a manner as to please even the most tired business man.
 Jo. F.. Richards, better known as Art Rick, is to be held responsible for the opening of the Columbia Months ago, after disastrous run of pictures, the place was closed, and except for spor- adic intervals of concerts and amateur performances, the pretties theater in the southwest has been closed tight.
 Good Pictures Coming
 In fact the entire week is one of note in the theatrical and movie world. Several pictures of note are scheduled, and unless something happens, theater goers will be kept busy deciding where they wish to go. "The Battle Cry of Peace said to be next to The Birth of d Nation" as an historic spectacle. has been scheduled at the Empress At the Arizona Manager Mace is going to bid for patronage with no lesser stars than Pauline Fredericks and Edna Goodrich. Both Miss Goodrich and Miss Fredericks are at the top of their profession, both on the speaking stage and in the motion picture world Theda Bara will be at the Lamara in one of her pet vampire themes.

 HENRY B. WALTHALL

The hearts of the majority of Phoe- nix patrons of the movie shows are going to be gladdened, when they read that Henry B. Walthal, the star of "The Birth of d Nation" and The Raven" is to appear at the Empress. Immediately after Walthal's first ap- pearance here, there was an immediate demand that he return. Manager Pur- vines satisfied the cry, and is now about to add a little for good measure.
 "The Misleading Lady, according to all reports, is about the best thing , Walthal has ever done. He is capably l Supported by Edna Mayo. In the pie ture, WalthaIl is shown in the role of Jack CraiGcn, q modern cave man. The

ARIZONA STARTS OFF WEEK WITH NINE REELS OF TRl-

Manager Mace of the Arizona is cer- tainly going to put on a show today and tomorrow worth the price. He has scheduled nine reels of both drama and comedy. The big feature for today is The Edge of the Abyss" with an all star cast. including Willard Mack and Mary Roland Miss Roland takes the part of society butterfly, and Mack has been cast as burglar.
 Alma Clayton. which is the part Miss Roland takes, is a society butter fly, quick to run the gamut of emotion in search of new emotion. First she is engaged to Robert McKim, an idle young man of wealth. Then she be-

part of Craigen is a difficult one. As
 the play develops he changes slowly
 from the conventional man, slightly
 moody, studious and extremely dis
 trustful of women, into polished
 brute, consumed by the flames of a desire which grows all the stronger as he is forced to subdue it.
 Walthal has been called the poet of
 the screen. His emotional acting has created patronage of his pictures that has not been eXcelled by any of the great stars Such is Walthals versa tility that he wins distinct triumph 1 in playing this part. He has shaded it so, that it is hard to believe that girl who has Haunted man could be cap tured and held by that man.
 In addition to the wonderful plot, and the superb acting of Walthal, the pie ture is strong lesson. The allesorical scenes shown are Walthal's own idea.
 He is a deep student of Spencer, and worked out the Darwinian theory of 1 the makeup of the man and woman 1 who play in the allegory.
