 Supplemental to this feature the Business Girls club will serve an in- troduction In the shape of a movie surprise that will be a record in Phoenix. To even hint that the added attraction would be to rob it of it's novelty. The usual News weekly will be added for good measure and the girls of the club plan to provide ushers for the day from the membership
 It is understood that the ushers at the afternoon as well as night shows Will offer a quartet of VocaliSts be- tween reels The fact that the entire profits of the day are to be taken Ey the club makes it purely "" af- fair. The ticket window, the Goor and the theater with the exception of the operating booth will be managed by the girls themselves.
 The management of the Hip last year donated the theater for a day and when called upon this season willingly turned over the house for the good cause. It is expected that a great many tickets will be sold for the fund by the members who will make a cam- paign. The fact that all tickets sold go to the fund, the theater in no way participating, assures an added inter- est in the ranks of the friends of the club
