LA TOSCA FEATURE
 IS BOOKED AT HIP

La TOsca," passionate. warm heart ed daughter of old Rome, who of the generation of Bernhardt, Duse, Mod ieska and our own Fannie Davenport has not thrilled to the mention of the very name of this singer of the Rome of yesterday. this lover who ri- vailed the famed Carmen in her de- votion to the man of her heart. Who has not followed in operatic song and dramatic stage story this Italian hero inc who, persecuted by the designing chief of police 70 Rome, consents to give her beautiful body to the lustful "prefect' for the freedom of her lover about to be executed.
 This girl who. in a rage, kills the would-be betrayer and hastens to the execution grounds to find the sweet heart who the lying prefect has prom ised to save with blank cartridges. dead. The startling denunciation of the chief by the grief-racked La Tosca and her mad declaration to the soldiers that she has killed the beast are all too vivid in the minds of those who have seen La Tosca on the stage to need mention in the picture announce ment.
 The stage afforded little chance for the wonderful leap of La Tosca to escape the soldiers who pursued her to avenge the death of the prefect of police. The stage leap was out of a canvas painted window to mattress in the rear of the artificial set, but this sacrifice of the picture La Tosca is said to be the very acme of screen realism. where the picture audience is rewarded daily with real events acted and carried through with fidelity to de- | tail.

THE HIP

Running the gamut from Sardou's passionate love tragedy of La Tosca,' the Hip goes to modern story of a woman with two natures, who one mo- ment is a devil incarnate and the next an angel on earth, in The Two Souled Woman" with Priscilla Dean, and closes the seven days, starting this morning, with a snappy American man story, with Harold Lockwood in the big part. It is called, Lend Me Your Name"
 The Two Souled Woman" reveals Priscilla Dean one of the finds of the year past, in picture that has queer twist. It depicts the life of girl vho leads two distinct lives.
 One moment she is a lovable, giriish creature, willed with song and happy in her home life, and the next momer. she turns devil himself sn her hellish designs on her fellow men.
 Coupled with the story runs a fine love theme that finds expression in happy ending despite the trials that pest tEis lover in his attempts to tlend the opposite moods of his sweet heart.
 "The Two-S Souled Woman" is billed for Wednesday and Thursday and is followed by Harold Lockwood in 'Iend Me Your Name" from the novel Of the same title
 It is one of those fast-T,oving Lock- wooc stories with a great love theme running through it, and obtains for Friday and Saturday. being aug mented with comedy from the Key stone makers.
 The greatest News weekly since the war will be shoUn at both houses, the Hip and the Lamara, when the first pictures taken of the British raiding raItv at Zeebrugge. the Belgian sea- port where the Germans have q sub marine base. This is an exclusive Hip aLo Lamara feature.

starting this morning at the Lamara. Francis X. BuShman opens the ball in The Brass Check" remaining for two only William s. Hart in a brand new aircraft production which has never been shown before in any Arizona city, and is said by his critics as well as his friends to be Hart's best out door picture since he went to the Art Craft program.
 It is the first of his newest pie lures, in which he appears as a Cana dian northwestern character. The story is laid in the snow country and is full of dogs, and men, and hardy outdoor shots, where the country is wild and rugged and the men are ac- tuated by primitive tastes and habits.
 Hart remains for Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday, and is followed by the eminent Japanese actor, Sessue Hayakawa in Hidden Pearls" an oriental creation which gives this gifted oriental actor a splendid chance to score.
 Hidden Pearls" will remain for Fri day and Saturday and is replete with action and mystery
 The usual Burton Holmes travelogue is added for Tuesday, Wednesday and | Thursday. while Benjamin Chapin as Lincoln, in "The Presidents Answer another of the Son of Democracy stor- l ies, is the added attraction on the firal | two days of the week.
Arizona republican., 1918-06-09

The story is modern and holds the charm of the well told tale dealing with the combination of love, romance, mystery and adventure.
 If this feature in itself were not enough to supply the usual excellent entertainment at the Lamara, that house will feature also the first pie lures taken of the recent British raid on Zeebruggc. the German submarine base, and the pictures, the first of the kind to be shown anywhere. should prove an added card at the Washing ton street theater of movies.
 "The Brass Check" and the Zee brugge pictures remain Sunday and Monday, and with them will be screened Ford Sterling in a Keystone comedy, "A Desperate Scoundrel," a laugh from the first flicker of the pie ture on the screen. This comedy adds to one of the best programs the La mara has seen fit to offer Sunday and Monday in months past.

has never. the critics say. had ve- hicle that compares with La Tosca," the tragedy queen of Rome.
 Replete with it's passionate love scenes, it's gripping climaXes, it's sen sational episodes, and brought to it's end with the sacrifice of La Tosca when she leaps to her death from the wall of the castle, this picture holds new place in screen creation.
 Victorien Sardou wrote La Tosca" for the immortal Sara Bernhardt more than 30 years ago. It took place over night as one of the worlds greatest love tragedies, ranking with "Salome," Carmen and the tragic recital of the Borgias.
 The filmy gowns worn by Bernhardt in her original version of La Tosca," and later copied by the grand opera stars who followed in the wonder love tragedy, have been duplicated for Miss Frederick and at St. Augustine, Fla the oldest Spanish city in America, where the picture was made, duplica- tions of the Roman settings of the story were builded.
 La Tosca" has shown all over the country as an advanced priced attrac- tion, and here it will be on the regular Hip program, with a Current Event news reel added.
 The most notable film achievement in the News Weekly world also is at the Hip and Lamara today, when the | first pictures of the recent British raid on Zeebrugge. the German sub marine base, will be screened. This is the feat that startled the civilized world.
 The Vindictive, the British cruiser, riddled with German shell fire, is shown as she leaves the mole where ] the Jack-t tars of Britain made sea his | tory.
