 The Sultana Theatre was fill ed to overfowing by an appre- ciative audience and the per formance was very we'll re- ceived and the entertainers re- ceived a full measure of ap- plause. The program is good one and all who were of the audience Monday night would be pleased to hear it all.

p. P. P. SPECIAL
 VISITS WILLIAMS SUN,
A Trainload of Genial Fl Paso Business Men Seeking Closer Commercial Relations With Arizona Dealers Editor Herald Interviewed

The Pep, Push and Progress Special carrying a trainload of El Paso business men reached Williams on schedule Sunday night at 7 80. The Texans were welcomed very cordially by Williams people who were as- sembled in large numbers at the station when the train ar rived. The Barnes Boys Band played selections which were highly appreciated by the towns guests and they remark ed on the youth of some of the members and especially on the fact that mere school girls were members of the band and play ed their instruments with com mendable skill.
 The military band which ac- companied the Boosters favor ed Williams citizens with selec- tions on arrival and later in the evening gave a free concert in the Sultana theatre. The en- tertainment of the military band was a rare treat and it was thoroly appreciated by the audience which filled the theatre.
 MT. Reese, proprietor of the Sultana, extended the hospital ity of his theatre to the Fl Paso- ans and they witnessed the screen entertainment of the evening. After the perform ance the towns guests received a formal welcome, L. s. Will Hams delivering the address. The response was given by H. D.Slater, editor in chief of the Ell Paso Herald. The Special left for Flagstaff at 8:3O Monday morning.
 MT. Slater Talks
 The News was fortunate in be- ing able to interview MT. Slater in regard to Ell Paso and the situation along the border. FL Paso has become a real metro polls with commercial interests of vast importance. She has business buildings as large as can be found almost anywhere and as modern, too. About 30 per cent of Ell Paso's trade came from Mexico before the revolutions set in, MT. Slater said, and Ell Paso feels the un- settled conditions seriously. The city has grown, however, with remarkable rapidity and when settled conditions obtain again, Mexican trade will give an impetus to Fl Paso which will set her long way for ward.
 MT. Slater sees no settle ment of MeXico's troubles in the near future. He anticipates that revolution will follow rev. olution for years to come. Of course, no one can tell what may come out of the European war. We may become embroil- ed with Mexico with what re- suit can not be forcasted. MT Slater discredits the statements that a large number of Ger mans are across the line enough to make us serious trouble. He thinks the reports of German activity in Mexico have been greatly exaggerated
 The Purpose of the Special
 MT. Slater said the purpose of Fl Paso business men in the Pep, Push and Progress" movement was to cultivate friendly relations with mer- chants and business men gener- ally in Arizona and to try to

tended and all present were well rewarded for their patron age. The Barnes Orchestra played several selections while the seats were filling and then the curtain was raised and a stage-full of High School pupils was exposed. They sang two choruses: "The Lost Chord" and "Who Is Sylvia" This was followed by a scarf drill by the 7th and 8th grades. The drill was beautiful and we'll eXecut- ed. It was encored and repeat 'ed. The next number was a song by Claude Melick. Young Melick has a good bass voice and his rendering "The Gypsy Trail" was so heartily encored that he was compelled to re- spond and sang "When the Bell in the Lighthouse rings ding dong." Again he was called back and sang the last stanza of the same song.
 The next number was by the girls Sextette who sang Bird in the Hand." This number had in it a thrill which quite carried the audience away.The sweet voices of the singers were very much appreciated and the song enjoyed. The Sex tette moved backward to the limits of the stage and then all 7 turned suddenly with faces to the wall-so it seemed, but, Horrors faces were still look , ing at the audience, but such faces! No longer the faces of sweet sixteen with rosy cheeks, ruby lips and shining eyes, but comical caricatures of the human physiognomy represent ing the maiden lady of ad- vanced age but still in the ring. The change so complete and sudden, quite took the breath away. The spinsters warbled and nodded and smirked, quite to the amusement of the audi ence and especially the young CT part. The girls carried their number off with great success and were encored voci- ferously.
 The Swedish Folk dance which followed was beautiful, indeed. The 7th and 9th grade girls tripped the measures of this dance with rare grace. Of course they had to repeat and then the spectators were not satisfied. It was very delight full to watch them, all moving . together with perfect rythm.
 Then came the one act farce which gave the entertainment it's name: :"Box and Fox" The characters were we'll person. ated by young Messrs Claude Melick, Levi Montgomery and Walter Finney. Mrs. Bouncer (Walter Finney) had rented a room to two young men: MT. Box (Claude Melick) and MT. Fox Uevi Montgomery). One worked during the day and one at night but neither knew for a long time of the other. So good a thing as Mrs. Bouncer had could not last. Box and Fox were appropriating things from each other and both lay ing it onto Mrs. Bouncer as was quite natural. When the dis covery was made that the room had dual occupancy, a fight was barely averted. Mrs Bounc- CT kept the young men apart but she lost her rOOmerS. Box and Fox left the stage arm in arm and in the most amicable frame of mind.
 The receipts of the evening were $47.0O to be used for the benefit of the high school bas- ketball team. ..
