 Douglas Fairbanks, athletic star of Triangle Fine Arts, again has part in "The Americana" that gives him full opportunity to display his athletic prowess. The play is fairly saturated with action.
 Fairbanks goes to Patagonia, a South American country, arrives just while the country is in the throes of a revolution, starts out to discover the former president, who has been showed out of office by usurper, rescues the daughter, makes the usurper take to the bushes, reinstates the legitimate president and incidentally wins the hand of the latter's daughter for a life | mate. He scales walls, climbs trees. whips a whole company of South American soldiers in a subterranean passage and comes up smiling. Margaret Wilson, who appears in

NOVEL F|REWARKS
 FUR NATIONS DAY

Thursday will be Nations Day at the state fair and Thursday nights fireworks spectacle will be the grand climax to the days celebration. State fair officials are leaving nothing un- done to make the stupendous military fireworks spectacle the biggest thing of it's kind ever brought to Phoenix.
 Antonio Alois, one of Europe's most talented Italian pyrotechnists, will be here to take personal charge or the night exhibition at the fair grounds.
 The idea of portraying the recap ture of Fort Douaumorit by the French was conceived by MT. Alois in order to give to the people of America clear version of the gigantic struggle which is now taking place in Europe.
 MT. Alois took part in the terrific artillery duel between the French and Bavarian regiments which were then defending the fort, and which finally ended in the complete destruction Of the immense concrete walls of the fort and the capture of the Brandenburg regiment by the French. On account of receiving a serious wound in this attack, MT. Alois was returned to his home in Italy, and later, on account of war conditions in. his native country was given permission to transfer ms talents to America
 MT. Alois is bringing with him many new and novel ideas in fireworks which have never before been seen in this country, and state fair patrons are as- sured of real treat on Thursday night.
