AUDIENCE LIKED
FARCE At E[KS

Advertising did 1t. Advertising
power of suggestion--the psychology Of
print gave Roi Cooper Megrue and
Walter Hackett an idea for the clever
est farce Phoenix has witnessed in
many a day in 1t Pays to Advertise.
1t certainly paid the manager of the
Elks' for there was large matinee at
tendance and the evening performance
was still larger with the house well sold
out for the night.
The farce is unusually well constructed
and full of bright lines. There are
any number OF amusing situations and
laugh in every line. No one could see
1T Pays to Advertise" and not enjoy ii.
1t is just the kind of farce that keeps
one in good humor and sends him on
his way rejoicing.
The story has to do with the efforts
Of rich mans son to make good. 1t
is all about how the idle son goes to
work and brings the wealthy father to
time by bucking him at his own game
via the advertising route. In the end
he wins control of a soap factory and
the girl he loves.
The farce is well staged after the
manner Of modern business plays and
while the acting is not out of the ordin-
airy the farce plays itself and does not
require exceptional talent on the part
of the cast.
This is rather fortunate While the
company is we'll balanced and fairly
satisfying, there are no glittering stars
in the cast James Mulry, as the son,
rather overplays even for a farce but
mis- lines are so perfectly ripping that
he does not have chance to become
boresome to any great degree. Allene
Durano as the girl is hardly convincing
but. on the whole. her work is very
good. George Sweet. the man who talks
advertising. puts it over in a manner
to win his audience. He brings out all
the comedy his big part calls for In
small role Page Spencer has stood out
prominently and the balance of the
company pleased.

1t is the consensus Of opinion among
MasOns that if Belts can prove that
he joined Masonry in 1887 or even IN
lS47, he can lay Just claim to the title
of the oldest living member of the or
der The worst Of it is that Belts is
silent on the subject and this is taken
TO mean that he is willing to accept
the honor even if he isn't entitled to it.
Among the ladies none can be found
who will admit that they believe that
Belts joined as far back as either of
/ these dates. In fact many insist that
unless Masonry takes in members in
their infancy. Belts could not possibly
have Joined in any year ending in a
e. unless it was in 1917.
The Arizona Republican, however,
ever anxious to present the truth is
compelled to state that Masonic rec
ords show that Amos A. Belts was mi
tiated in Arizona Lodge, No. ?. f. &
A. VI. in 1927 and there can be no
| further argument about it.

"Morty, you've been drinking" an
swered Lydia lightly, trying not to let
him see how his words agitated her.
81 love you, Lydia. Why don't you
believe me?"
Because you haven't proved it."
"How can prove it2"
Give me the formula"
In her apartment in the town Lydia
was enjoying her afternoon cigarette
the next day when the maid showed Mrs
Strange in. Lydia, who of course could
not refuse to see her, prepared uncom-
fortahly for the interview. While she was
dressing she pictured in her mind some
awkward country woman, some 'gawk"
of a creature, as she phrased it to herself
She was surprised at the refined, delicate
little woman who stood before her
She bowed. Mrs Stranger" she in
quired.
Doris stood looking at her steadily, her
hands clasped in front of her. "Do you
love my husband?" she asked.
Lydia Emmons, entirely at loss how
to answer remained silent.
81 have not come to you to make
trouble" Doris went on "But, you see |
love Mortimer, and we have no children.
So that will make it easier"
Easier for what?"
"To let him divorce me-"
81 will answer you truthfully," said
Lydia 81 do not love your husband at

"Then why is your name coupled with
his constantly Why does he spend all
his time with you? Oh, won't you either
take him, if you want each other, or give
him back to me2" wept Doris
Lydia looked at her, and an intense
curiosity stirred in her. She put her
hands upon the other woman's shoulders.
"Why does he mean so much to your"
she asked. "He is not worthy Of you"
"He is! He isp' cried Doris indig-

Doris looked up swiftly into the others
face, and she put her hands in Lydia's
with the same childlike confidence.
ooh, | believe in you!" she cried. 81
am so sorry for what said You are
a good woman, and shall tell every

Lydia smiled and kissed her.
On the veranda of the club Morti-
mer Strange was waiting for Lydia
Emmons. He had been waiting most
of his spare time during the past three
days, and he was uneasy and perpleXed
at not having seen her. 1t was growing
dark, and a sort of iaded romance was
growing in the mans soul
An d when at last she came the spur
ious pa assion that leaped up in his heart
threatened to sweep him from his bear
ings She was dressed all in white,
and there was look on her face that
reminded him. though he did not know
why, of Doris in the days of their court

She sat down at his side and they two
were together at last, as Mortimer had
hoped He took her hand

for which you asked"
He drew the paper from his pocket
and gave it to her
Here is the value of million dollars
he said "What the bribes of the Reich
company could not effect is yours You
shall keep it, and the proceeds, as the
proof of my love"
"Morty," said Lydia quietly, did
you ever tell any other woman that you
loved herr"
mot as tell you" he answered
Your wife, then You didn't care
for her when you asked her to share your
life in the long ago?"
Mortimer wriggled in his chair, why
do you mention my wife?" he asked.
Because you have the best wife in
the world, and are the least deserving Of
her." she answered "You are a fool,
Morty, just common little fool. You
are going to get the worst turning down
that you have ever had You are going
to be made to see yourself as you are
a little man in big part, who has lost
his bearings and taken the spurious

hard-so hard that pretty Mrs. Lydia
Emmons, at his side, tapped him play
fully upon the arm.
What is the matter that you are SO
silent, Morty?" she asked.
81 was thinking" returned Mortimer
Strange, gulpng down his drink
He had been thinking extremely hard.
He had been thinking over his past. At
the age Of thirty-fve, four years ago, he
had suddenly found himself transformed,
through a mixture of luck and ability,
from hard-working clerk in the war office
to manager Of the Ginever powder factory,
at a salary Of fifteen thousand. The pow
der factory was in intimate touch with the
government at Washington and was the
only maker of the famous new thermolite
powder
AS a clerk, Mortimer Strange had lived
contentedly with his wife, who was a
couple of years older than himself, in their
pretty cottage outside Washington. Doris
had worked hard for him; at thirty-seven
her beauty was little faded But they
had cared sincerely for each other
Then had come the removal to Gloss,
and Strange found himself in an entirely
new atmosphere. For the first time in his
life he realized that evening clothes were
an indispensable item in mans wardrobe.
Then there was the social life, and the
country club-and, in short, he had come
into the world of which he had often spec
ulated but which he had never thought to
enter
Doris had tried to keep up with the new
life But the motherly little woman had
hated the glare and glitter; she pined secret
ly for the kitchen and the fireside At
last she had given up the attempt to live
Mortimer's life Gradually they had
drifted apart The wistful look on his
wife's face was the hardest thing that
Mortimer had to bear.
And the friends that had grown up
around him as if by magic were of the fast
set. There was Mrs, Lydia Emmons, for
instance Nobody knew where Mr. En-
mons was, but she had money and spent
it royalty Nobody thought it strange
that she and Mortimer were always to-
gether
The man had lost his head in his sur
roundings; they were too big for him. He
was little statue on a mighty pedestal,
the important managership of the powder
factory. None of his business acquaint-
ances entered into the social whirl A
staid lot, he left them at the factory door
at four o'clock His life thereafter was
his own
Whats the use of thinking?" inquired
Lydia, pouting.
"No useW cried Mortimer hilariously,
starting up Come in! They're going
to dance"
In the dance his enigma seemed to re-
solved itself. He knew that he had out
grown the old life. 1t had become i'm
possible. He had won a high post but
he had given hostages to fortune in the
shape Of his little, neglected wife The
dance with Lydia Emmons seemed to cap
his decision. He drew her outside
