 After a solid seasons success at the Longacre theater, New York City, the comedy success, Nothing But the Truth" is making a tour of the west, with the well known come dian, Max Figman, in the stellar role. The original company will appear at the Elks theater three nights, begin ming tonight, with matinee Wed- nesday.
 MaXmel Amusement company, the managers of this highly successful farce could not have selected a better, or more fitting actor for the difficult role of Bob Bennett, than MT. Fig man. His personality uniquely fits the difficult character, his unction is a gift that belongs" and his ready wit and capability for "ad-lib' makes him ideal for the part.
 Usually the author of success ful farce or play is most pronounced in his rule of stick to the lines" but in this particular farce, the author must depend largely upon the ability of the actor to "ad-lib" for one of
 
 most important-is that between the actor and the clock.
 The story deals with the ability of the leading character to tell the truth for "A hours, the 24 hours is up at exactly 4 o'clock in the afternoon and as the audience will laugh more or less, at it's pleasure, and the clock cannot be made to wait for the laughs, nor hurry when the laughs are not prolonged, it is up to the ability of the actor to provide anus ing scenes and dialogue that will per init the climax of the third act to be on the stroke of four" It some times keeps the others in the cast guessing" as to when to speak their lines and participate in the action of the play for it is most unusual to hear the same dialogue or see the same action repeated by MT. Figman.
 Youth Has Fine Part Warren Millias-and who has just passed his eighteenth birthday-gives every promise of becoming better known to the masses of the Ameri- can people than his justly famous | forebear of the Elizabethean period.
 Filled with all the fire and artistic temperament of the French. of which country he is a native, although in 1 the United States since eight years of age, young Millias gives a delight fully captivating portrayal of "Waf- l fles" in Her Unborn Child" and the i best reviewers of the land predict a l brilliant histronic career for him.
 There is noticeable flavor of the French in the speech of the boy who | 4l,o 'Waffles.' but decidedly much of the true artist which presages future in the speaking drama if he continues unspoiled. The entire cast is ia. 1 above what one would expect in g play the title of which is so jarrine to the established niceities of ths stage"
 This is but a brief mention from 2 column review given recently in tn, San Francisco Call. in which city "Hel Unborn Child" enjoyed the phenom enal run of six weeks to overflowins houses.
 This startling play will be seen il Phoenix at the Elks theater, three matinees and nights, commencing Friday, February g.
 Empty Pockets" at the Hip
 Today sees the final screening o Empty Pockets the Rupert Hughe 1 picture at the Hip. It is perhaps saf to say that no First National Exhibit ors picture has given better satisfac tion than this splendid crook pla done for pictures. Its wealth of char acters gleaned from every walk in Ney York city makes it a novelty pictur and it has been handled in the usua Brenon way.
 A new Screen magazine augments tn bill today and tomorrow comes Ma Murray in one of the kind of picture she always does well for the screer It is called Face Value" and is a smar tale of a girl who just escapes tn reform school to climb to the very to of the heap. With it will be shown l, good o. Henry picture in two reels The Hip patrons have learned to kno' these splendid short masterpieces an they are worth as much to the patro
 in entertainment as the usual o-calle feature.
 Ethel Clayton in "The Woman Be , meath" is underlined for Friday an Saturday.
