CONAN SUCCESS

"The Talk of New York" the great George M. Conan musical success, has proven one of the biggest attrac- tions staged by the Ed. Redmond Musical Comedy company at the Elks and as the last two performances of this most popular production will be given at the matinee performance this afternoon and tonight, it is safe to predict a turn away audience for each performance.
 Ed. Redmond, in his original char acterization of "Kid' Burns, is giv- ing a stellar performance and he is ably seconded by Myrtle Dingwall, Joe Kempa, Marvin Hammond, Minor Reed, Bocbie Deane, Billy Cochran, Evelyn Koenig, Eddie Mitchell and the bevy of singing and dancing maid-ns.
 Twenty big and distinctly song and dance features interpolated dur ing the action, tend to make the play a most diverting one, and with the big comedy moments, melody features and galaxy of costume ere ations, the play whirls along with kalediscopic action throughout the three big acts.
 For fair week the Redmonds will present the tuneful musical concoc- tion, "The Girl in the Taxi" This special musical show is replete with comedy and song features and the seven evening performances to be given as well as the three matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday is bound to draw record houses and no doubt smash all records held for attendance at the Elks.

Redmond and his big musical comedy company will present at the Elks Theater commencing Monday evening and continuing throughout the entire week, the tuneful and col orful musical concoction, "The Girl in the Taxi" This play has been specially selected for the Fair Week attraction, for not alone does it give each member of the popular company spiendid opportunity in diversified comedy characterizations, but the play itself is one of the snappiest and breeziest in the musical com edy line and permits of the inter- polation of a series of bewilderina and melOdiOuS songs and dance fea- lures.
 Fair Week visitors will rejoice in the fact that the Redmonds will be one of the attractions during their sojourn in the city, for the popular players are well known to theater goers throughout the entire state and their wholesome form of entertain ment appeals nightly to all of the discriminating theatergoers The hap py diversion from somber dramatic plays to the breezy musical sort is another big feature that will tend to make the cozy Elks' theater a popular amusement center each even- ing during the fair.

compositions and also in his cele- brated recital and informal talk on the music of the North American Indians is an interesting figure in the musical world. Cadman has more than composed singable songs, part songs, piano music and cham Der works; he has struggled for an ideal and has fought for this ideal when others grew weary of the fight ing. Unjust criticism has been his, scorn of those who disbelieve in the use of folkthemes for compost ton has been heaped upon him, and little short of attacking his sin cerity has followed him, yet after five years of composing, writing and featuring, he has came into his own and those who once reviled now praise. This is usually the case in those who labor valiently for an ideal.
 Many of Cadman's ideas with re- gard to American composition have changed with his growth. While he has never been fanatical in his ad- vocacy of Indian themes, he has worked arduously in this cause, and his enthusiasm and zeal in 1908 and 1909 has led scores of Ameri- can composers to consider the in corporation of Indian themes in com position. His tremendous success with his Four American Indian Songs" and his recitals ands talks upon the subject of Indian music has reached even to Europe and when one considers that> his songs are al this time being translated into the Russian language, one is forced to the conclusion that his work and ideas have been of considerable power if not of value.
 Cadman does not say that the American school of composition shall find itself in the use of Indian themes. Like many of his contem- poraries, he believes that it will form but a unit in that movement. What he maintains is that the American composer has as much right to use Indian, Negro, Creole or other melo- dies indigenous to American soil as the Scandinavian, the Slav, or the Gaul has a right to employ those folk songs with which they are so familiar. Because an American com poser happens not to have Indian Negro or Creole blood in his veins is no reason why he should pass by Indian, Negro or Creole melodies since they offer such field fol color and contrast.
 In a recent interview Cadman ad- mits that a higher form of Ameri- can composition may be found 1T

HIP

With the view of inducing the vis- itor as well as the home guards to visit the Hip during Fair Week the management of that theater an- nounces that there has been selected special program for the entire seven days. Opening this morning with Jack Gardner in Men of the Desert" the western picture holds for Monday and gives way to Harold Lockwood in Paradise Garden"
 fParadise Garden" is taken from the novel of the same name and tells a fascinating story of young man reached to manhood without ha, ing seen a woman. Orders of his fathers will having been carried out. he attains his majority in Paradise Garden under his tutor. Lockwood is said to have never had a chance to equal this splendid story. Par adise Garden" remains for Tuesday and Wednesday.
 On Thursday and Friday, Sun lights Last Raid," a western picture par excellence Is the announced bill The New York review of October 6 speaking of this picture in a criticism says: If (mentioning the director of recently shown internationally hHOWH Sldl All d WcotciA plCtuIeJ could have seen 'Sunlight's Last Raid,' before completed-he could have made real western picture, for this one Is the best ever turned out of any picture makers studio"
 That alone is some praise for the Review does not depend upon film makers for its advertising patron age and speaks its convictions through it's columns. This picture is Vitagraph and should find high fa- vor with Arizonians, for it's scene is laid in this state and is said to be as near ideal as a western picture can be made before the camera

Startling news comes from the in
terror of Germany. Yelled though
the situation is In the mists of a
rigid censorship and obscured by the
shackled conditions of the German
press, sufficient has leaked through
to indicate that the German empire is
facing a great economic and political
crisis.
The information printed Is that
10000 striking munition workers have
engaged in bloody riot in the great
Prussian fortress town of Magdeburg
and were only prevented from burn

with the military.
This story comes from the Dutch
frontier, with sufficient detail to make
its claims to authenticity impressive.
On its heels arrives the account of
demands made by the leaders of the

dictionary character that compliance
with them would mean a prompt end
