Hippodrome Has Good show.

Hawks Sunshine Girls put on a new
bill yesterday at the Hippodrome, and
quite contrary to expectations and
usual procedure 1t is even better than
its predecessor, which, by the way
was itself better than three.fifths Of
the musical tabs now infesting the
Sun circuit. The audience got warmed
up at the start last night and greeted
all the big numbers with roars OF
laughter and loud demonstrations with
hands and feet. Several times the
encores went the limit and awaited
nothing, because there were other good
things waiting for a chance to get
over.
The musical numbers, which are
mainly instrumental, are the big cards,

"a love Sublime" at the Princess,
introduces us to modern and humble
Orpheus whose Tyre is .ten.penny
flute. 1t Is faithful adaptation Of the
romance by Samuel Hopkins Adams
which tells wistful and touching
story but is bit too detailed and tedi.
GUS for perfect screen production. The
elusive significance OF the original
plot is lost when transferred to screen
action but it nevertheless makes an
appealing if somewhat hay love
story.
Phillip is the powerful young Greek
who works in a rolling mill for his
daily bread and plays the flute for his
own enjoyment. He meets a little
French waitress in a cheap eating
house and the friendship between
these two is just budding into ro-
nance when Toinette is injured in an
automobile accident and sent to the
hospital where brutally careless in
terne tells Phillip that she is dead.
The shock affects his mind and he
wanders hopelessly through the re-
mainder of the play until his Toinette
like Eurydice, comes back as from
the dead and the two are reunited.
Wilfred Lucas as Phillip is in the
unusual role of an alien which is not
entirely adapted to his type of charac-
ter work. Carmel Myers is appealing
as Toinette, and the rest of the char
acters, especially that of the Little
Red Doctor" played by Bert Wood
ruff are we'll done.
The "heart interest in this play will
appeal strongly to patrons who prefer
sentimental scenes to stirring action.

sleepIessness.

When you are sleepless for no other
apparent reason than that you just
cannot get to sleep try the following
remedy: Take seven to ten cloves.
Place them in cup. Pour on a cup
full of boiling water. Let stee for ten
minutes. Add dash of nutm Sweet

of ten in all those instances in which
sleeplessness does not arise from some
deep.seated disorder.

CIVILIZATION.

If the "war lords" of blood stained Europe would only take an evening off and witness the produc- tion of Civilization" as shown on the moving picture screen at the Yuma Theatre last Saturday night, they would probably have less desire to take human life than they have shown up to the present time. It is beyond question the most powerful plea for universal peace that has fallen from the tongue of man, horrible beyond description at times, at others so pa- thetic that even the heart of "war lord" would melt, if he would but take the time to study the pictures. The theatre was packed to the doors and it is doubtful if Manager Johan- sen ever had more appreciable audi ence in that popular theatre.

NEW BIDS FOR PRINTING.

The board of county supervisors having rejected all printing bids at its meeting the early part of the month is now advertising for new bids, but the board having arbitrarily ruled that it will receive no bids from a regular weekly paper shuts out the ARIZONA SENTINEL entirely from entering into competition with either the Morning Sun or the Yuma Examiner. Inasmuch as the proceedings of the board are required to be printed but once it seems rather queer that the oldest continuously printed paper in the state should be so unjustly discriminated against. and inasmuch as the board threw out the Examiners bid, which was some 40 per cent under the next lowest bid, it doesn't seem at all nec- essary for MT. Shorey to put in anoth- CT bid. It will be surprising if he does. However, day of reckoning will come and that won't be very far off, unless the board of supervisors mend thei' ways very materially.

WiNTERHAvEN FORGING AHEAD

A casual glance at the thriving Win. terhaven townsite across the river in Sunny California is apt to convince one that Manager Deyo never sleeps, for permanent improvements are con- stantly being made. The big reser- voir being constructed to furnish wat CT for domestic and fire protection purposes is nearing completion. It is constructed of a concrete base with and immense steel tower on top of which is the tank designed to hold upwards of 10000 gallons of water, furnished from deep wells. The water is of the most excellent quality for domestic purposes, similar to the re- clamation wells on the Arizona side of the river. In addition to this several new buildings are in course of con- struction, including an immense imple- ment house, while the several hun dred acres of land for early vege- tables are now planted and will soon present a sight well worth visit acress the river to look at All in all Winterhaven promises to be all that Manager Deyo has claimed it would eventually be. The big mercantile store is filled with Bardites every day in the week, the prices competing fa- vorably with any town in either Ari. zona or California.
