Ten Nights in a Bar Room
There is something inherent In our
natures that makes us like best the
things of our childhood and this may
account, is some degree, for the Won
derful success of the old story written
Two generations ago, by L. s. Arthur,
entitled, Ten Nights in Bar Room"
coming to the Majestic. The story was
read by young and old alike and when
dramatized on the legitimate stage was
one OF the strongest attractions on the
road. AS moving picture it has won
derful opportunities and depicts many
beautiful picture scenes that in the
story are only described. In the last
presentation Violet Craig takes the
leading part of Fannie, the sweet
heart and later the wife of Joe Morgan,
first one of the most popular young
men OF the country, but later the vii
iage drunkard. 1t remained for Mrs
Craig, the dramatic reader to add the
speaking voice to the scene under their
personal supervision. 1t presents in a
most forceful yet novel manner one OF
the best known stories ever told
At the EIks
Could you, if you had to, spend a
million year? Looks simple, doesn't
it? Sure, that would be a clncn. If you
think it, would you want to see the diff
ficulties that Monty Brewster en-
counters. in trying to separate himself
from one million dollars in the brief
period of one year. That means to
spend $9,195.00 every day in the year
/ exclusive of Sundays. The inix-ups,
complications and snags that fall in
Monty's path makes one of the fastest
melodramatic farces that the stage has
ever seen.
From a scenic point of view MI.
! Lorch will have chance to more than
| spread himself, for the climax of the
third act is most spectacular, showing
BheWster's party of his private yacht
in the midst of terrific storm.
! "Erewster's Millions" has been seen
/ and read by thousands, but as this is
| it's first production in Phoenix rec
ord business is looked forward to.
