Pauline Frederick at Lamara

As an emotional actress, Pauline Frederick, who comes to the Lamara today and tomorrow, appearing in Mrs. Danes Defense" her latest Par amount picture, is unquestionably one of the leaders of the screen. Her won- derful technique and convincing DOT trayal proves the wiseness of Para mounts choice for star to bring to the screen the role in which Margaret Anglin scored a veritable sensatAl a few seasons ago on the speaking stage. It Is drama of the most intense type, and furnishes thrill after thrill, through its many unusual scenes and remarkably clever drawing. Pauline Fredeick is seen in the role of wom- an, hunted to the last stand, straining every point to keep down the whispers of scandal. which are rapidly assuming giant proportions, and which she knows are based on facts. As the net closes about her, and she realizes that she must forego the happiness she has striven for, the great depth of this tai ented woman's art becomes apparent. Mrs. Danes Defense" has been re- viewed everywhere as one of the great est pictures of the year, and will

 PRESENTED AT HIP

He was just out of college when his father telegraphed that he was very ill and to return at once. He arrived to find his father just passing to the great beyond, but with strength enough to tell him that he had been ruined by a crook partner The young fellow took an oath to hunt down the crook. He knew him for master thief so he de- cided to become the "Crookedest Man in The World'' in order to meet the other man at his own game and this is the story that critics from New York to San Francisco have pronounced" the fastest melodrama ever filmed. The final punch is the flashing of a mess age to the girl in the case by means of the great lighting system of New York City. The Crookedest Man in the World" telegraphs in the Morse code his message by. winking all the lights in New York. It is smashing picture of wonderful interest.

 So the people at home must stand behind the men at the guns. There must be self sacrifice and deprivation and there must be the strongest finan- cial support that can be given. There must be confidence, but there should be no foolish optimism. We must face facts.
 Following Professor Tatlock's we'll applauded address. Chairman George Stoneman of the Four Minute Men elo- quently urged his auditors to appreci- ate the fact that the time for action has arrived and must be improved. We are fighting to keep the Germans from our own shores" he declared. There is something that each of us can do in this emergency and each of us must do it. It is a time for acts, for service, not for words"
 He considered it no time to mince words-a man either is loyal or dis loyal. and he made especial reference to the activities of the l. w. w.. who have been trying to fasten themselves upon loyal labor, which he prophesied would soon rid itself of the burden.
 Loyalty, the Wstchword
 Chairman Heard of the state council stated that he and his co-laborers were tremendously encouraged by the re- suits arrived at in Wednesday nights meeting in Globe, where a county council was started with a truly excel lent lprit of unity between the labor ing men and the employers. Loyalty is the watchword in Globe. There has been general betterment of efficiency all along the line of patriotic endeaVor from Washington down to the com munities that soon will be organized. There is no more overlapping of effort nationally. Within the state all plans are working out well. Especial suc- cess has attended work with the boys of the Arizona contngents in the army, the closest touch being kept with them as a feature of the state coun- cil's welfare work.
 There is to be another meeting in the near future, when announcement will be made of the assignment of work and of the composition of con- mittees.

Gold Rush Days at Empress

The old gold rush days are pictured in William Fox's latest photoplay, Six Shooter Andy" ill which Tom Mix IS starred and which will be shown at the Empress theater today.
 The story is said to have been taken from real incident that took place in the town of Bannack, Nevada. It is thrilling story of graft in high places, and of injustice to the gold miners.
 As Andy Crawford (Tom Mix) is en- tering the town he comes upon girl whose father has been killed by one of the gang" of Bannack. She has eight brothers and sisters.
 The gang" is led by the sheriff. An dy begins to do things right and in his way runs counter to the sheriff. Finally the sheriff tries to claim Susan for his own. That act brings the end of the sheriff and the beginning of de- cency in the town. Andy gets much help from Susan's brothers and sisters, all clever little actors.

 RACE IN FAVOR IF MIR, STEWART
Friends Withdraw Name of Man Who Was Only Prevailed
 Upon to Run for High School Board Because of His
 Desire for Change in Management When they Receive
 Notice from Mr. Stewart That He is Supporting Change

The contest between the only avowed candidates for membership of the high school board ended yester- day when the following statement was issued by J. NJ. Stewart, defining a position with reference to the pres ent management of the school which many of the voters had misunder- stood:
 To Voters of Phoenix High District It has come to my attention that my candidacy for school trustee is being supported by some who be- lieve that I am pledged to the re- tention of MT. Cook as principal. My only purpose in running for school trustee is to serve the community ill case I am elected, and | believe that, that interest is best served by a change in the office of principal.
 J. M. STEWART. Thereupon those who believing that there should be a change in the management of the school and who had nominated John L. Gust as q candidate for the membership, with drew his name in the following state ment:
 Mir. Gusts Name Withdrawn To the voters of the Phoenix High School District:
 The undersigned induced John l., Gust to become a candidate for the High school board, because we felt that in this high school election there is a very definite issue before the people. Mir Gust by wire. placed himself entirely in our hands.
 To our mind, the issue is that the best interests of the high school can best be furthered by change in thu administration.
 In view however, of the fact that J. NJ. Stewart has assured us that the issue to his mind is precisely as we view it, that he is opposed to the retention of MT. Cook as prin- cipal of the high school and II elected he will endeavor to secure a man better qualified for the posi- tion-we are withdrawing the name of Mir Gust, as he accepted our sug gestion that he become a candidate reluctantly and only as a public duty in view of the issue. and we ask the united support of Mr. Gusts friends and the friends of this issue to the candidacy of MT. Stewart.

Wonderful War Pictures

Many pictures of military activities on the western fronts of Europe have made their way to the screen but, The German Curse in Russia" which shows at the Columbia theater for the last time today is the first war film of any importance to show the manner in which warfare in the east is conducted.
 Surprisingly intimate views of trench life were caught by Donald Thompson who procured these p:csures obviously at great peril to himself. Time and again the scenes show Russian soldiers going over the top not a few fall

Real Comedy Causes Laugh

A great deal of film comedy is horse play, but David W. Griffith in The Birth of d Nation" coming to the Co., lumbia theater proves that quiet, re- fined comedy is big laugh maker and pleases better than the old style crude methods.
 One of the best laughs in 'The Birth of a Nation" is the lovesick sentry in the hospital scene gazing at Elsie Stoneman. This particular bit is of the sure fire" order, for never does an audience miss the rapt devotion of the sentinel and the naughty expression of the young lady rebuking him with a million miles away look.
 Paul Leblanc is the name of the young actor who has made the unex- pected hit in the part. He is a New Dr. leans Creole by birth and played com edy roles with Mime. Bernhardt before going out to Los Angeles where MT. Griffith discovered him. The costum- ing of the young soldier is wonderfully accurate to the period or 1864. Some of the recent civil war portraits in the magazines and newspapers are almost doublets of this sentry figure, showing g what care Griffith has used in repro ducing the Civil War type.
 Miss Lillian Gish wears her cos times that are heirlooms in her family. times that are heilooms in her family. Through Griffiths skill all the actors in the production are made to appear as if to the manner born and not awk- wardly moving about in habiliments to which they are unaccustomed.
