BETTER HURRY F
 YOU WANT 4 BERTH

Are you planning on going on a journey? If so, you had better make your Pullman reservation a few weeks before you start.
 Officials at the local United Railway Administration offices report that res- ervations on the through Pullman cars for lower berths are taken for two weeks from the present date and draw ing rooms are reserved a month ahead It is stated that many of the travellers are buying round-trip tickets, others are returning home. Most of the traffic at present is toward the east and mid dle western states.
 Hundreds of tickets, officials state were sold during the past winter to the coast states for the reason that Phoe- nix could not furnish stopping place for the many tourists and visitors who wished to remain here, but were con- pelled to seek other cities with more facilities to care for visitors. The sale of railway tickets this spring has maintained about the same | average as last year, an administration official stated yesterday.

\ DANGEROUS GIRL
 |S b|G H|T AT E[KS

"A Dangerous Girl' at the ,Elks theater last night proved to be very attractive girl, and so did the whole play, for large audience placed it's seal of approval upon the first pre- sentation of "A Dangerous Girl' as presented last night by the Del s. Lawrence company. Again a novelty was the bill, the play being entirely different from anything yet produced ! by the Lawrence company.
 The play had a war setting, for 1t l had it's locale in New York City and ! had to do with German spies and other i interesting things, including Ameri-
 can secret service men. It was well presented and staged and scored an | other success for the Lawrence stock 1 company.
 An interesting feature of this play 1 was the appearance of Phoenix so-
 ciety girl. Miss Georgia Mintz, in the
 cast, she taking the role played by l Miss Florence Printy who was unex- pectedly called to San Francisco. Miss | Mintz played the part of Marion King
 ston, a role almost as prominent as 1 that of the leading woman, Miss Steck. Miss Mintz made a delightful impress sion, being extremely natural and was | accorded a fine reception. She received l some beautiful flowers. Miss Wilma Steck, as the dangerous
 woman, secret service agent. made
 as usual. her big hit with the audience. l She was refreshing in her role and
 played the part vivlciously.
 Miss Margaret Nugent was treat
 as the scrub woman: Maurice Penfold ! was unusually good in the role of Rob- ert Foolmore, in love with Marion. His characterization of the man who finally proves himself to be rather of the right sort was excellent. Del $. Law
 renee was satisfactory in rather a
 minor part for a leading man. Bert Hadley and Alfred Alridge were well cast. Howard Nugent had less to dc
 than in any previous play, but was of
 course, all that could be desired.

The week passed, and when they met again one girl said she had been less forum ate that week than usual, for the con ductor missed her fare only three times. Another reported five rides for nothing.

Miss Marvin Hammond, Joe Kemper, Miss Robbie Dean, Eddie Mitchell, Miss Peg gie Betts-she used to be Blevins-all received a warm and heartening re- ception as they were recognized by the audience.
