AL ARE PLEASED AT
 WHITE SLAVE PLAY

The Elks theater was filled to capac- ity last night to witness the opening performance of the sensational sue cess, The Girl Without Chance, and to say that every moment of the per formance was enjoyed would be to express it mildly. The play was, in theatrical parlance, riot. The story is an extremely interesting one and ably handled while the players, each and every one, gave finished perfor- mances of their various roles. There was rot weak spot in the entire east, while the scenic equipment was more than adequate Nothing better than "The Girl Without a Chance" has been seen in Phoenix in several years. and those who did not see it last night can assure themselves of a real dra- matic treat by attending the final per formance at the Elks tonight.
 A matinee will be given this after noon at which ladies only will be ad- mitted. There is nothing offensive in the play, and while it concerns very delicate subject, it is so ably and cleverly handled that it gives offense to no one

 Dooley is said to be capable of run ming an automobile with his legs and feet as well as many expert chauffeurs can with both hands and feet.
 In addition to controlling the ma chine perfectly and making it perform stunts beyond the abilities of the ordi nary driver. Dooley is accredited with the power to emulate bucking broncho with his car.
 Last June, it is said, Dooley, with his hands in steel bracelets behind his head, drove from San Francisco to Salinas. The distance is 11S miles and the time was three hours and h min utes. He made the 32 miles from Stockton, to Modesto, Calif, in 42 minutes. He drives at a rate of 45 miles an hour as a general rule, it is ! declared.

Bajo la tarde azul, recien llovida,
por los senderos h1medos y solos,
fbamos caminando a la ventura
con la elegida de los lindos ojos.
Alguno que otro viejo nos miraba,
curiosamente, CON humane asombro;
-iDonde ira csc pareja de muchachos!
parecian decirnos con los ojos.
iDonde ira esa pareja de muchachos!
Hacia la vida, hacia ell querer mas hondo,
hacia la crispaci6n mas luminosa.
haciael amor, que ~santifica TODD.
Con que orgullo mirabamos las cosas.
ell cielo azul, ell horizonte rojo,
y aquellas callecitas solitarias
despertandose al paso de nosotros.
Cada jardin-lte acuerdas?-cada seto,
cada rosal colmado de pimpollos
parecfa arrojarsenos de alfombra
en- un ampli homemade de retonos.
Despues, la vuelta con andar mas lento,
la voz mas suave, la emocion mas honda,
ell mismo amor, va quietamente humane,
sin la locura de las fiebres rojas.
Une especie de uncion, cast sagrada,
un halo de bondad sobre las cosas
y nuestros dos espiritus gemelos
flotando en- la oracion como dos sombras.
La noche, d~ulcemente, vino al cabo.

que nos mirase con mirada atonita.
