Cominu to The Elks


 The laughable comedy, Jerry made famous by Billie Burke, will be the opening bill at the Elks theater on Monday. April 15, Miss Emma Bunting, the favorite of the Southwest, playing the leading part.
 The four acts of the play are jammed full of wholesome, clean comedy, the kind offered by the stage usually about twice a year. The company sup porting Miss Bunting is far above the average and the play is staged in a manner which deserves the highest praise. The scenery in every act is the work of an artist and the action runs as smoothly as could be desired.
 Msss Bunting need never fear of los ing her popularity. for an actress with personality, who can really act, always commands a large following. As everyone knows, the play Jerry was big success in all of the eastern cities. It tells the story of whole hearted girl of IS, who is aptly de- scribed as the girl an hour ahead o1 time"

Dainty Story at Columbia

Miss Gail Kane, the Broadway favo- rite, whose motion picture admirers like her best in comedy, has something in the way of big laugh to offer them in "A Game of Wits" at the Columbia theater. She causes q too presumptious old financier to surrender her to a younger and filter man, after giving him a gastronomic and mountain climbing run for his money.
 The old chap found he couldn't keep up with his busy young fiance, and, worn to frazzle, he paid her s100,00O to quit and marry the man of her choice. Miss Kane's portrayal of the witty maid who thus escaped being an 'old mans darling is gleefully done.
