COIUM BIA

This week s program at the Columbia affords plenty of diversion for the theatrically inclined, bringing as it does the greatest war production ever shown here, 'The Unbeliever." strong western featuring William S. Hart and a comedy drama with Bryant Wash burn playing the leading role
 "The Unbeliever" is probably the most talked-of picture that has ever been shown in Phoenix. Aside from It's lofty, patriotic motive. it's great lessons, it's startlingly realistic scenic effects, the thrill of the story itself makes for an entertainment that holds the spectator in breathless absorption. The United States war department loaned many hundred members of the marine corps to carry out the effects the story demands, and as a result the military scenes are done with an ex- actness and convincing snap that gives grimly perfect setting for this magic but inspiring glimpse into the horrors of No Mans Land" In fact, Uncle Sam himself regards this photo drama as the greatest stimulant to recruiting that has ever been designed "The Un- believer is playing a return engage ment at the Columbia theater for Sun day and Monday only.
 Tuesday and Wednesday, the popu- lar hero of western dramas. William \. Hart, comes in one of his character istic productions, "The Patriot" The play is unique in that not a single feminine character is portrayed on the screen throughout the five reels. A Finley nature film and a Toto comedy Fares, Please will augment the pro- gram. ,se For Thursday, Friday and Saturday the Columbia theater will show Bryant
 Washburn in a new comedy drama "Kidder &t Ko." This film has enioyed i remarkable success on the coast and is light, airy story which unfolds smoothly with many amusing situa- tions. This program will be aug ! mented by a Columbia Screen Tele- | gram and One-reel comedy.

MADAMEPETROVA IN
 LIFE MASK AT HIP

Serving two features on one bill seems to be the summer fad in Phoe- nix movie circles for both the Hip and Lamara offer double bills under the one offering head.
 At the Hip Madame PetrOva comes in her very newest dramatic work. "The Life Mask" and Fatty Arbuckle is to be the add attraction in "Fatty's Indian Princess" one of his fast nov ing comedies.
 The dramatic feature of the double header is said to be one of Petrova' s best screen efforts. The Life Mask" is d baffling mystery play with the famous Polish star as a sleep walking bride.
 "The Life Mask is adapted to the screen from the famous novel of the same name by the unknown writer who gave to literature the now famous story, M. L. c.
 It is said to be a decided innovation in type of story for this gifted woman of the stage and screen. She plays the part of girl forced into marriage with a man for whom she has not the slightest love.
 His subsequent injury and her lapse into semi consciousness while walking in her sleep leads to a complication that marks her as a murderer when he is found dead Following the sensa- tional accusation that she is the guilty one. there comes the arrest of several other characters in the story and the | unravelng of the interesting and hys- i tery shrouded plot affords big cast in support of Madame Petrova a splendid chance to make film history, for this is one of the finest values yet offered for the screen from the marts of the First ! National exhibitors.
 | As a relief from the rapidly moving 1 mystery play with it's tensely human ! moments and it's gripping episodes, will i he shown Fatty Arbucl1le in one big | laugh entitled. "Fatty's Indian Prin- | cess" This is a chance Fatty takes l advantage of in such whirlwind style
 as to earn for this picture the title ot
 the mo better ever done by Arbuckle'

LAMARA

Three stars feature a particularly sparkling week of moves at the Lamara starting this morning. Peggy Hyland opens in "Other Mems Daughters" and is followed Tuesday by Marguerite Clark, dainty and beloved little screen sprite. who will be revealed in one of her most charming of recent offerings from the camera, Rich Man Poor Man"
 Miss Clark who has been identified with fairy stories for the past several months will be welcomed in this mod ern story of the old adage that where there is no love riches avail nothing.
 The picture has been made from the novel of the same name written by MaXimilian Foster. which had a splen- did vogue when it was on the book stands
 The Clark picture remains for three days and is followed by the star pie ture in Charles Rays career, His own Home Town" revealing the star in one or ms fastest pictures of just the sort he alone can de well
 His Own Home Town" is the story of political pot boiling in a country town where a minister, in league with some politicians, is so crooked that he
 
 insure sleep, as a straight one will not fit him.
 His son is away from the family dom 1clle and returns on the eve of cleo tion, riding the rods under the passen- ger coach, and his paternal sire fails to recognize in this ill kept youth the l spark of genius, for the wandering one has the kick" but at the same time he needs kick to arouse his sleeping talents. The batter gives him that kick and in turn is shown up so nicely by the boy that he takes to the tall and uncut with a one way ticket. Charles Ray never had a better ve- l hicle and when this picture ran at the | Million Dollar Grammar theater 1t was staged and set like a grand opera pro- duction, so well did the management think of it's splendid possibilities.
 Aside from the dramatic features at the Lamara it is perhaps safe to say that the Official Government War Pic

It is a spirited play of the gay side of life with a deep human emotion running through it that carries the heart interest.
 Miss Hyland plays the part of a girl yet in her teens who is wakened from her sirlish dreams in a convent, where she is being educated. by the announce ment from her mother that the father has fallen into habits that make furth- CT life with him unbearable.
 The girl goes to her fathers studio to find brawl in progress and a pretty girl dancing in abandon on a wine laden table.
 This girls father, who comes on the scene. is so hurt over the depths to which his own daughter has fallen by reason of the duplicity of the father of the heroine of this picture, that he deliberately sets out to wreck the hap piness of the innocent girl and bring disgrace on her father through her
 He has some success at first and it looks as if he is about to succeed but this is not an ordinary girl, and after a wild journey through Bohemian New York with parties that would have shocked Nero, the girl escapes to bring back together her father and mother and to perfect her own romance which began in the height of the strenuous times she had lined out to bring her father back to himself
 Peggy Hyland, who came to this country with the great English actor Beerbohm Tree, is one of the hand somest and most gifted stage women of England and won fame in pictures al- most from the very day that that she arrived in this country. for she has been in many fine productions but none to match this sparkling sex story ot men and women with too much money and too few morals.
 With the feature will be shown w s. Hart in a picture new to Phoenix "The Great Divide" This is not the picture of the same name that played here some two years ago but is pro- duct done exclusively for w. s. Hart and is one of the characteristic west erns for which he alone is famous.
 The two programs obtain for Mon- day as well.

THE HIP

The Hip has four pictures this week starting this morning. Madame Pc trova in The Life Mask" begins today and remains for Monday. It is fol lowed by "A Mans World" with gifted Emily Stevens in the part of the woman who awakes to learn that this world has two standards and one for the wo- man will not do for the man.
 Owing to other bookings. this splen- did special cannot be retained for more than one day and is to be shown for Tuesday only, giving away to Dorothy Phillips in "A Mortgaged Wife" which is the story of wronged wife, calling a spade spade in dealing with this age old problem of sex against sex
 Dorothy Phillips has the star part of the girl who is roughly handled by fate, and that she plays it well is best af-
