COLUM BIA

One of the best programs the Colum- bia has ever offered, is the promise of the Columbia management for the bill offered at that house for Sunday and Monday.
 The feature of this program is Baby Marie Osborne in Winning Grand ma,' and a special children's matinee is being offered for Sunday afternoon. Baby Marie is one of the greatest of the child actresses and her popularity extends from coast to coast-and then some. Her screen work is of such high character, however, that her en- tertainments are equally as pleasing to the older folk as to the kiddies.
 Another big kiddy feature of the program is the new Chaplin comedy, Triple Trouble" This is an abso- lutely new pictere, not a reissue of any picture previously done by the famous Charlie and is his latest re- lease. Chaplin is an entertainer of both young and old patrons and his latest release is something that has scored heavily wherever shown.
 The Columbia Screen Telegram, showing official war pictures, is even better this week than ordinarily-and that is saying a good deal. It shows first official pictures Of General Pershing, commander-in-c chief of the American Expeditionary forces, at his work directing nearly 100000 United States soldiers in their efforts to make the world safe for humanity. It also shows Pershing on an official visit to American camps. Other official war views include scenes from the battle fields. with members of the Red Cross lending aid to the wounded soldiers, some interesting scenes at the front like barber shops, some aeroplanes in which American aviators were killed. front line telephones. delivering big guns, Y. M. C. A. workers distributing smokes, in fact everything that is nearest to the heart of the American people in this day.
 Fourth big number on this all-star program is Ford Sterling in a two- reel comedy, His Wild Oats.'
 Here is ten-reel program of some of teh fastest, funniest and most cleverly acted films that have ever appeared in Phoenix and it is being shown at the Columbia theater for Sunday and Monday only.
