 RED CROSS BENEFIT

Nothing sets the blood atingling and fills the people with enthusiasm like the patriotic lines from thrill ing military drama. Such a play is "The Red Cross Nurse" which will be given at the Elks theater on Tuesday and Wednesday nights as a benefit for the Red Cross fund. The story of the play is based on incidents in the late Spanish American war and depicts with vivid realism the story of the struggle for the freedom of Cuba. The play shows the unprepared condition of the country at the time hostilities were declared yet the eager zeal with which all classes. from millionaire to laborer. responded to the call of the president and fought shoulder to shoulder in the irresistible volunteer army. The play shows the life in camp and on the battlefield and carries great punch in the thrilling climax of the charge on Fl Caney, where our hoys suffered the greatest losses of the war, yet at the same time won the greatest victory
 As the name implies, the central figure is a Red Cross nurse. With the true American spirit. at the call of du- ty, she leaves home and frien.ls and seems ever present where there is suf- letllS or SlckDeSS ana carries cneer- fitness and relief into the hospitals and on the field, no matter under what flag they are fighting The role of The Red Cross Nurse will be as sumed by Miss Jeanne Russell, and the balance of the cast has been chos- CT with diligent care. Every effort has been expended to make this a bis. creditable production. The mili- tafy music will be furnished bv the band from the Indian school under the direction of Prof. Nenne: the soldiers will be the cadets from the Tempe ro' nal school: patriotic songs will be given by a chorus of local young la dies; yOurg ladies. dressed in the Red Cross uniforms will act as ushers and the whole things will assume the at mOsphere of military and Red Cross spectacle.
 The women of the Phoenix Chapter , have put their energy back of it to increase the fund of the Chapter of The American Red Cross Society.

 Devoid of ideals and all sense of honor when her husband goes to France to take his part in the great war she makes indolent love to his younger brother, Cedric. Later on the lad. too, responds to his countrys s need so she turns to a man who, in the guise of a Spanish art collector, is acting as a spy for Germany.

starts with the absorbing mystery of the murder of old John Argyle, an ec centric millionaire. Suspicion falls upon Argyle's adopted daughter Mary. and while the police are trying to amass enough evidence to convict her Asche Kayton, private detective ex- traordinary, is called in to prove her innocence. In accomplishing this the trail leads into the den of the cleverest band of counterfeiters in America and the action of the play is replete with thrills and moments of nerve-rackins suspense. In addition to it's interest as a mystery, the story unfolds charming romance between the de- tective and the girl he saves.
 As Kayton, MT. Warwick appears in probably the most sympathetic and entertaining role he has ever played for the screen. He is perfect type for the part and gives to the perform ance real distinctiveness and charm of personality The star has been sur rounded by cast of exceptional quail ity and as directed by Ralph W. Ince the production abounds in sensational bits of unusual photography and moves with uninterrupted celerity from the first to the last foot of film. Among the players are Elaine Hammerstein and Charles Hines.

skinner's Dress Suit at Hip

SktnnerS OfeSS 0uIt al mp
 If ever there was an ideal entertain ment offered in pictures Skinner's Dress Suit at the Hip comes nearer to filling the bill than anything that has been screened here in Phoenix for some time It is no startling picture of some woman with a spotted past. No risque story of the underworld and any child might go to see it and be benefited yet it is so human so full of laughs to filled just the things that happen every day in life that it has an appeal to every one no matter how blase the taste. Skinner was plodder but suit of good clothes awoke him and sent him staggering into the millionaire ranks with plenty of money and the way he got it will be a revelation to all for it is real funny and that's say ing lot now days when comedy seems to have all been worked out. The Pathe News which is shown with it is par ticularly good. Teddy Roosevelt is showing in a close up and his popu- larity is attested by the applause that greets him. Womanhood The Glory of the Nation " is underlined heavily for the midweek showing.
