SUPREME COURT
 SETS 38 CASES FUR MAY TERM
Many Important Actions in z Both Criminal and Civil
 Branches Will Be Upon
 Calendar During Month

Thirty eight cases. 15 criminal and 23 civil, are included on the supreme court calendar for May. which will be called at 10 o'clock Monday morning Cases will be set for argument at that time. Between ten and twelve of the cases are now ready for hearing.
 Featuring the criminal calendar is the appeal of Cyril Keddington from the decision of the superior court of Maricopa county and two appeals being taken by the state of Arizona from de cisions of the superior courts of Mari copa and Yuma counties.
 The Keddington case has already at tracted wide attention throughout this section. Keddington was charged joint ly with Stevens in contributing to the dependency of a minor girl. the daugh- ter of wealthy Mesa resident, whose name has never been mentioned. SteV- ems jumped his bail and made his es- cape, but Keddington was convicted in the lower court and sentenced to long term in the state priscn.
 The first appeal being taken by the state is in the case of Arthur l.. Beh- ringer Behringer. it will be remem- Dered, was arrested at the Adams hotel and a charge of learning and attempt ing to learn the contents of telephone message placed against him.
 When the case was taken before Judge Lyman in the superior court, however, attorneys for Behringer con- tended that the statute upon which the state was attempting to secure con viction referred only to wiring tapping. The Arizona law. they argued, was copied from the California law, which relates only to that feature. A demur- Ter ruIinp was handed down bV Judpe Lyman.
 The second is that of W. H. Minor, the appeal being taken from a decision handed down by Judge John A. Ellis of the Yuma county superior court. Clem- ent H. Colnfan will represent the ap- pellee in this action.
 Several bootlegging appeals are also listed on the criminal calendar, some of which will be disposed at this time. it is thought. The civil calendar also contains many interesting cases.

The patrons of the Empress are re- ceiving War time shows at the regular prices. Everything in the market has advanced in price, but the management of the Empress declares that at last they have what they want-five head line acts direct from the Burbank the ater.

Space will not permit of reviewing each act but each act is a headliner and deserving of special men tion. A trio, three doubles and a single also two reels of feature pictures Prices always the same

Vivian Martin at Lamara

Both the gay and serious sides of the life of an artists model are graphically depicted in The Wax Model" with the beautiful little Vivian Martin, which will be seen at the Lamara today only. In this Pallas- Paramount picture, Miss Martin is seen as little French girl, the most popular model in London, in which she has ample opportunities to display her natural charm and piquan- cy. This story made sensation when it appeared in Smart Set Magazine, and there is every reason to believe that it's more vivid presentation on the screen will prove even more successful. Thomas Holding is featured in the stars support ard among the others in the cast are George Fisher Helen Jerome Eddy, Senor Buzzi and Kathryn Vaughn. As an added attraction Victor Moore will be seen in a one reel com edy, "A Honeyless Honeymoon" and the Bray cartoon will be shown today onl'.

The production throughout is markedly pleasing. If your hair is red, a free ticket awaits you at the box office
 Billie Burke in The Harvest of Sin has most satisfactory showing. A beautiful scenic travelogue is also shown.

The story is so very unusual and so different that it is bound to make q very lasting impress sion on the thousands of mothers and sweethearts who know their loved ones are going to be asked to defend the country's honor The ending to this story is so startling that it can be said to contain the one brand new thing in the current photoplay month.

ROADWAY AND ELSEWHERE

This is the way | long have sought
and mourned because ! found it not.
Our Drama League and our Little
Theatre have piped to US and reprosch-
fully inquired why we were so reluct-
ant TO dance. At this critical moment
in steps Mr.. Walker and shows US that
dancing is great fun, not as matter of
obligation, but Of enjoyment, relaxa-
ton. self-expression, and we dance and
thank him for the opportunity.
Half century ago, in the days of
the Metropolitan and the Academy of
Music, when old White was the cher
ished comedian whose mere appearance
upon the stage set the audience into
an expectant roar, when Katie
Fletcher was our ideal of romantic
heroines, Indianapolis had theatre of
its own and it's actors their stanch ad-
mirers, who missed no .frst-night op-
portunity to testify their loyalty to
favorite players, in many cases per-
sonal friends and acquaintances. Then
the perambulant star began to bring
his own company, the syndicate cast
its tentacles over us and we succumbed
to Little Buttercup's vision of stage
existence, Here to-day and gone to-
morrow Drama is a complex matter,
and rather than trouble ourselves we
surrendered, as did other communities,
to the astute wholesalers of Longacre
Square, who gave US sugar-coated and
pan-placative banalties at 50 a seat.
OF course, there were sporadic stock
ventures, commercially handicapped
and confined in their offerings to the
outworn products of the star system.
But let's not forget that one of these
ventures gave US Lillian Sinnott's rare
revelation of child tragedy in Mary
James Pa tragedy her own life
echoed swiftly thereafter.
"Only Mr.. Walker himself knows
why he picked indianapolis as good
place for a summer stock season. The
plan had failed repeatedly and his own
reception-apart from the encourage
ment of President Potts and his IN
fatuated Drama Leaguers-was frosty.
The general public didn't know much
about him, but suspected that any
manager who lectured to college stu
dents, wrote some of his own plays
and carried his theatre around in a
portmsnteau must be that outcast

EDDIE CANTOR ARRIVES

by Mr. Ziegfeld for the Midnight
Froic." As he himself explains, there
was considerable competition for his
services. After hearing his voice, Zieg-
field and Dillingham; fought for him.
Ziegfeld wanted Dillingham; to take
i'm and Dillingham; wanted Ziegfeld to
take him. At present he is the clouded
star of the "Follies," and it looks as
though he will have to sing That's
the Kind of Baby for Me" to the end
OF his days.
So much for his history. As a human
being, he is distinctly a success. He is,
as was subtly hinted in the opening of
this story, completely unspoiled. His
rise to success has not turned his head
to look at chorus girls nor the other
temptations in the way of an earnest
young fellow who would rise. In spite
OF his sly dog references in his present
rlonologue. there is indisputable evil
dence that his wife waits for him after
The show. No man can be really a con-
frmed rounder who is fond of repeat
ing the ingenious sayings of his in
fant children.
There is very little chance OF Eddic's
return TO his native element-white-
race. Il seemed, few weeks ago, that
he might really achieve this, the de-
voutly y-prayed-for consummstion of
every worker in black-face. When the
"Folles" opened in Atlantic City it
embraced a scene between a pair OF
lounge lizards" Eddie played one OF
the lizards, exhibiting in proof thereof
a seventy dollar suit designed to 60 with
kis white face. And the scene was for

EDDIE CANTOR is the unspoiled

having been decided upon, he applied

was here that he became a black-face
comedian. The leading member OF the

face to his partners black-face' and
objected TO the presence of any compel

dition was arbitrarily made to the
ranks of the temporarily colored
comedians.
After some experience with this skit
Eddie decided to visit our newly-linked
cousins across the sea. (Lest there be
snv doubt as to what is meant, let it be
added parenthetically that he went to
Iondon). On his return he joined

/ But Mr. Walker is as plucky as he IS
versatile, and he went right on making
/ his productions as if each of them was
to go on the road for a five-year run.
"Then came The Dummy and Mrs.
/ Talbot, and - presto, change, - we
/ awoke to the fact that there was some
thing particularly worth while going
on at the Murat, with dancing in be-
I tween whiles and every new play better
and livelier than the one which went
/ before. Did we atone? Whenever be-
{ fSre was there a demand here for a
second week of a new and untried play
such as greeted Seventeen?
"The case reminds us of Charles Le-

Clare put his arm around her waist, gave
ten kisses at laist,' promptly replied,
Since you've now made so free, you
may marry your Mary Malone Since
Mr.. Walker has made such bold and
determined love to us, what can we do
but surrender at discretion and invite
him to stay indefinitely and give Ind

year round? OF course, that would be
unprecedented and would make New
York and Chicago sneer, but if Mr..
Walker wants us and we want him,
why bother Broadway about it? We
had our own theatre once when our
playgoing population wasn't tenth of
