CLEOPATRA" WILL

Phoenix theatergoers will see at the Columbia theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, for the first time in this city, Theda Bara in William FoXs screen production Cleopatra" It has been pronounced by competent critics to be far ahead of all of the other big motion pie lures that have been manufactured either in Europe or in this country. The superlative "stupendous" is said 10 fittingly describe the picture. Full advantage has been taken of every opportunity to illustrate the sump- tousness, magnificence and briliancy of the Egyptian and Roman eras. Thousands of people were employed in making the picture with three thousand horses being used in several big situations. Scenes of substan- tial magnificence represent Cleo patra's reign in Egypt, one in par ticular being her entry at Tarsus in her barge of state to meet An tony. It is rich in the extreme
 Egyptians, Roman soldiers, royal court atendants, slaves dancing girls Jews, Greeks, Assyrians, Parthians,- all live as in the days of the Pha- roahs.
 Royal splendor IS declared to have a new meaning in William Fox's "Cleopatra"-a riot of gorgeousness color and splendor.
 The story of Cleopatra begins wher she is driven from Alexandria by the victorious army of Caesar, it ends when she kills herself by the bite ot the asp, after being conquered by Octavius.. Between these periods there are wonderful scenes of interest that glow with the passion of emo- ton in her conquest of Caesar by the charm of her person; the wiles sht employees to ensnare Mark Antony and, likewise through her machina.

tions in making a love conquest of Pharon of the Pharaohs, who had taken an oath to- kill her.
 The battle scenes are pronounced tremendously strong and thrilling, while the naval battle at Actium, in which so ships are set on fire and sunk, is holding in the extreme. It is the first naval battle in history. Theda Bara wears some startling costumes-there are fifty in all-and she is said to portray the role of the siren of the Nile with rare fas- cination.

Current Calendar Years Necessities

NOV that additional war taxation is as
Y sured, Congress 1t to the country
to give it this legislation without a days
unnecessary delay. 1t is granted that the
House and Senate must have time to consider
thoroughly a measure which reaches deep
into the pocketbooli OF every man and woman
in tho country. but the ground which those
bodies will go is not new. 1t has been
gone over once within year, and three times
since war developed IN Europe. All know the
sources which must be drawn upon for the
money that is to be raised. 1t is necessary
only to determine what percentages each
taxable interest can bear with least peril to
the nations business
Tho matter of haste in passing this bill
is scarcely less important than the need for
moro revenue itself. Tho President has de-
clared that whatever measure is enacted must
be made to apply to the current calendar year.
and the taxpayer who is to adjust himself
to retroactive piece of sisation @. that
sort is entitled! to know With the least pos
sible delay what his assess merit is to be.
There are excess profits taxpayers oSen now
who are compelled TO borrow monsy to meet
the levy oi last year, fact which Eecms
absurd it's face but one which is never
theless true.
Moreover, the President has given notice
to the country that 1t must prepare to absorb
IN the autumn the largest war loan yet Of
fered by the government. The success of such
a loan will be in serious doubt If Congress
at the time is still debating the war tax bill.
The uncertainty and the uneasiness which
inevitably proceed from a taxation measure
might conceivably render such loan i'm
possible. The thing to do is to pass the war
tax bill before the summer is over and pass
one, however large it may be, that the people
OF the country can understand.
Tho President has announced that in
comes, profits and Injuries must pay the adj
ditonal tax. This is sound policy. It con-
templates leyies In directions where they will
weigh least heavily. Surely the man OF in
come is the man who has something to con-
tribute. The business which makes a profit
is the business which can stand tax and
luSuries have ever been the most equitable
sources OF Federal revenue. Inheritanccs
might be- classed Injuries. Certainly the
money drawn by the government from them
is not money which should be regarded too
tenderly by the taxing power.
Congress is raconciled, it may be believed
from the expression OF it's leaders, to tax
legislation before adjournment comes II
that is true, the House and Senate should
make up their minds to act at once A Joint
hearing on tho part Of the Ways and Means
Committee and the Finance Committee might
facilitate earlier action.
