ALICE BRADY IS STAR
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

Alice Brady in "The Hollow of Her Hand" from the pen of George Barr McCutcheon, opens a three day en- gagement at the Columbia theater and proved one of the most likeable of ferings of the season.
 Miss Brady takes the role of a young English girl who comes of a good fam fly but who leave her penniless. She is forced to earn her own living. After trying her hand at several vacations in England, she leaves for America to accept a position there. On the steamer she meets Challis Wrandall.
 Later at an inn she learns that he is married and scene follows in which she is forced to kill him in self de fense. Sarah, Wrandalls wife is noti- fled of the death of her husband She comes to the inn and while she is shocked to learn of his death, inwardly rejoices at the bravadoaof the person who has dared to do what she never had the courage to do. She meets Hetty on her way home from the inn and decides to protect her.
 Musical numbers at the Columbia for the remaining two days of the Alice Brady offering will be of the same standard of the past few weeks. Special numbers are prepared for each change of program by Director Barlow and the augmented orchestra aids in making the photoplay complete suc- cess. Special numbers by Dwight Deity, well known cello soloist, are also added features to the regular pro- gram

BIG CROWD PRESENT AT OPENING IF TIE
 AMERICAN CABARET.

The American opened it's doors to the public last night, formally dedicating the latest amusement enterprise in Phoenix and incidentally presenting one of the smartest dancing palaces and cabarets one would wish to step into.
 A large crowd was on hand and the expressions of delight that were heard On every hand were positive proof that this newest dancing place was away to a flying start.
 The American would hardly be rec ognized as the American theater of last season. The floor has been leveled and one of the finest maple floors anywhere in Arizona laid for the dancers. Benches have been ar ranged around the walls and in the space between these benches and the dancing floor, the tables have been arranged where the refreshments and "eats' are served.
 The orchestra, consisting of five of the jazziest players who ever assem- hled in a dance orchestra here, occupy the stage, which has been well ar ranged for the purpose. There is ample room on the stage for both the bthIeSlId ana lue elAeI IldlHeFS-

The courtship is inter rupted by the news coming to Draiey that his father is dying, and the news coming to the Wolf that the revenue men of the north were on his trail. Draley sends the girl message ex- plaining his inability to keep an ap- pointment, but the Wolf" hurriediy leaves for the north before the mes sage is delivered, and the girl returns to her home in the snow country thinking she has been deserted by the man who means more to her than life itself.
 But Draley's love is too deep for him to give up the girl without a search, and he goes into the northern wilder ness in the effort to locate her Being mistaken for a revenue man by the smugglers, he is caught amid many ad- ventures which several times threaten his life, and which give the story an unmistakable punch.
 "A Very Good Young Man"
 Here's a girl who says that the man she is to marry is so good that he cannot be true and listening to the advice of her mother, she tells him she cannot become his bride, for a man as good as he is would certainly SOW his wild oats after marriage. That's the predicament Bryant Wash burn is up against in his latest Para mount comedy success, A Very Good Young Man" appearing at the Lamara for todav o11d tornorroxv

Lesson of the Moline Fire.

Yesterdays Moline fire should at least serve as a
warning leading to preventive in the three
cities. Another time there might not be such good
fortune in avoiding loss of life.
Fire Chief Schmitt reports considerable careless
ness Island business district with respect
to permitting accumulations of waste materials in
Easements and empty store rooms, not infrequently
near gas pipes meters Wlfully inviting disaster
this is inexcusable after attention has been
so wildly called to the folly and danger.
Another thing that the Moline fire emphasizes is
the Importance of sort Of fire drill instruc-
ton among employees in large establishments For
tahately the New York store workers kept their
heads and made their escape without panic. Had
there been rush the fire escapes at the ele-
vator there would have been fatalities, without a
doubt 1t is not wise, however to always trust alone
to good and fortuitous circumstance.

keep. Simply splendid. All we have
to do is to get up at 6 O'Clock in
the morning when it is nice and
dark and play around with the
cutest little hammock imaginable.
When you have arrived at the most
interesting part of this game, the
four hitch period, and you are won
dering whether you are going to
beat your previous record and get
six instead of five, the bugle blows
and Immediately throws you into
a state of great indecision. The
problem is whether to finish the
hammock and be reported late for
muster or to attend muster and be
for not having finished
your hammock. The time spent
in considering this problem usual
ly results in your trying to do both
and in failing to accomplish either,
getting reported on two counts.
Any enlisted man is entitled to play
this game and he is sure of making
a score. After running around in
Vulnerable miles of early morning
camp scenery and losing several
buttons from your new trousers,
you come back and do Greek dances
for man who aspires to become
a second Mordkin or a Mr.. Isadora
Duncan. First he dances, then we
dance; then he interprets a bird
and we all flutter back at him.
This being done to his apparent
satisfaction, we proceed to crawl
and grind and weave and wave in
a most extraordinary manner. This
is designed TO give US physical
-poise to enable us to go aloft in a
graceful and pleasing manner. At
ter this dancing in the dew you re-
turn for a few more rounds with
your hammock, clean up your bay
and stand in line for breakfast. At
ter breakfast we muster again and
gentleman talks to us in a voice
that would lead you to believe that
he thought-we were all in hiding
somewhere in New Rochelle. Then
there are any number of things to
do to divert our minds-scrub
hammocks, pick up cigarets, drill,
hike and attend lectures. AS a rule
we do all of these things. From
3 p. m. until S:45 p. m. if we are
fortunate enough not to have a lee
ture party we are free to give our
selves over to the riotous joy of
the moment, which consists of lis
tening to a photograph swear bit
terry at piano long past it's prime.
The final act of the drama of the
day is performed on the hammock
an animated little sketch of arms
and legs conducted along the lines
of Houdini getting into a strait
jacket, or does he get out of them?
1 don't know, perhaps both. Any
way, you get what | mean.

" I MR.. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am 16
years old and in love with a boy
of 81. He tells me he loves me and
has asked me to marry me. I told
him 1 was too young and would not
think of even being engaged until l
was at least 20. This boy has now
stopped coming to my home and
goes with other girls. But he sees
me every week and renews his of
fer. l love this boy and do not
want to lose him. But still do
not want to be tied down by being
engaged while I have not yet out
grown my girlhood. Please advise
me. UKELELE PEGGlE.
You show very good judgment in
not becoming engaged to man
while you are still so young. If
the man really loves you he will
wait until you are of a proper age,
and II he does not wait you can be
sure you would never be happy
with him if his love is so unstable.
There are too many responsibilities

point and not deal in glittering generalities
that mean nothing.
For example: If young man were start
ing out today without dollar and the ideas
which present successful organizations

Not at all.
However much we have been able to do
there is still so much to be done, SO many
opportunities to be developed, that
need despair of a chance to do something worth
while
There thousands of new starting places
waiting to be discovered. There are thousands
of needs waiting to be filled. There is a great
reward awaiting for any who has eyes to
see the need and ability to meet it.
Opportunity? Why. opportunity is the
cheapest andy most plentiful of all our treas
ures. Like rich virgin soil, it only waits to be
found and used.
This paper exists to spread ideas, the best
that can be found. 1t aims to furnish food
for thought 1t desires to stir ambition and
encourage independent thinking.

The electric needle in expert
hands is not harmful and the result
will be satisfactory and will not
show. There is no regular cost,
each operator charges according to
his own rates. There is no other
permanent. way. Each hair is re
moved by the needle and is rather
a tedious process.

Secrecy at Versailles.

Doubtless those who favor secrecy at the YER
sai1les conference consider their reasons sufficient
We are glad though, that the American delegates
have gone on record against such procedure
AS events unfold it becomes Increasingly matter
Of doubt whether those who temporarily direct
ing European affairs really have learned much from
the war At least there has been almost total lack
Of disposition ability apply such knowledge to
The profit of democratic government, for which we
all were supposed to have been fighting.
The world is extremely anxious to know what Is
done at Versailles and also how it is done, and why!
Il is the worlds business and everybody is paying the
bill OF course there will be serious objections
to secret committee meetings and Investigations but
there should be chance for open discussion of every
question and press representatives should not be
barred at the time of formal adoption.
The peace conference surely does not hope to put
anything over by secretive methods. If it perpe-
rates injustices they will have to be reckoned with
later and it will be better to thresh them out now or
even fight out than to defer their
settlement.
That is the democratic way to do business and if
the peace delegates are wise they will take the ad
vice and follow the example of representatives of
the most conspicuously successful of democracies.
