WITH FIRE"
ATTRACTION AT DINE

Madame Pretrova with star cast
is playing at the Dixie theater today
in a Metro five act feature in the
title of "Playing With Fire. Won
derful Madame Petrova, justly ac-
claimed as the most gifted emo
tional artist, now appearing on either
stage or screen, again makes her
bow TO Metro audiences i'll this dis
tinctive production from the pen OF
Aaron Hoffman, picturized exclu-
sively for the Metro program by
popular plays and players, under
the direction of Francis J. Gordon.
In every Metro screen production in
which Madame Pretrova has appear
ed. this famous star has achieved a
real triumph of art in this, her
latest contribution to the silent dra-
ma, she has set new high mark.
Her two most recent successes were
What VIII People Say?" and The
ers will find in Playing With Fire, !"
all that delighted them in these two
superb photodramas as well as many
new and novel effects and tense sit
uations, which belong exclusively to
the present production. Playing
With Fire" deals with the life story
of Jean Servian, a beautiful cameo
cutter, whose artistic career comes
to close through blindness. She re-
gains her sight and weds, through
gratitude, a man whose daughter,
only a little younger than herself,
becomes her devoted care. How she
steps aside from the path of honor
in moment of mad infatuation, on
ly to be saved from herself by the
discovery of the real character OF
the man who has enslaved her heart,

While the girls were defeated. they nevertheless put up the best game of the season. and Tempe was extremely fortunate 10 win.

They have not been defeated this season. but have won from Chandler. Glendale. ln- dians Phoenix and Tempe Every oth- CT team has been defeated in at least two contests.

FOOTBALL BOYS ARE
 GUESTS AT THEATER

There was genuine college spirit manifested at the Columbia theater last night when the Theodore Lorch Company presented the gripping col lege and race drama Strong heart" :" The Phoenix high school and Indian school football teams were the @uests of the management and. in addition to the college yells and songs of the per formers, they delivered many of sheir school songs at intervals.
 The Columbia was completely filled last night. There wasn't single emp ty seat at the performance which Is a fitting tribute to the high class offer lngs of the Lorch Company. which has been materially improved by recent ad- ditions to the troupe.
 Mr. Ray r. Brandon continues to share the honors with Mir. Lorch in the presentation Of "Strongheart." Mir. Brandon Is at his best in the character he enacts and his witty sayings and humorous gesticulations keep the aud fence in a continual uproar throughout the play.
 And al the same time. Mir Lorch. in a more serious role, vividly portrays the racial prejudice which prevails be- tween the American people and the American Indians when the question of love or inter- marriage Is su~~ested.

JORDAN JAR USED
 BY RACE OFFICIALS

A. A. A. race officials are in- debted to w. E. Gardner of the Babbitt- Poison company for the use of the official car for yester- days automobile race. Out of a choice of Bucks, Haynes and Jor- dans, the officials took the Jordan. because of it's interesting history in connection with the recent racing at the state fair.
 The car. which is a seven pass enger model, was used by the off cia,s who logged the route of the Douglas Phoenix race. Driving with three shifts, the party did the 273 miles between Douglas and Phoenix on the return trip in 2 minutes and IS seconds less than the time of the winning car in the race This record was remarkable, even taking into consideration the fact that the road was better when the log was made than it was for the contest. The car made stops in the principal cities, for the purpose of establishing checking stations, but time was counted out for these stops. No other stops were made, while most of the racers had sew eral enforced delays on account of tire and other trouble.
