NOW comes the big fun show.
 Billy Cochran's Minstrels is to be the bill at the American theater, be- ginning Monday night, when fun, fast and furious, is to be the order. The minstrel show is to be the same as that produced by Cochran at all the big army camps during the past nine months. It made a tremendous hit with the soldiers and is certain to dc the same in Phoenix.
 Billy Cochran is to be the interloc- utor. while Kek Schilling and Bert Herbert will be end men. 'Bud' Dun can is prepared to give the fun a bis bost with his inimitable' comedy. liar old J. Healy will sing some new navy songs, assisted by the American the. ater beauty chorus in bluejacket cos tune.
 There are 20 song hits in this min- strel show, with specialties of dances songs and batter. Special scenery has been prepared by the new scenic artist for this entertainment, and Day ton c. Payne and his jazz orchestra will keep the music up to the usua. standard.
 Lili Croueste, Patsy Breck, the La Terra sisters and the beauty chorus will contribute pep and ginger to tht big show.

COLUMBIA

There arc SO many good things in thc Columbia thcater program for the week of March 2-9 that it would be difficult Co single out a single offering and call it the biggest value of the week. lnIsmuch as PhOeniCians are moro interested In road attractions, however 1t is probable that Margaret Mayos latest and most successful laughing hit His Bridal Night" will he tho most appealing. This great comedy farce comes to the Columbia Friday and Saturday with a matinee Saturday afternoon.
 Opening tho weeks program is Earle Williams. in "The Highest Trump" from au original scenario written by ". H Van Loan and Mir. Williams. This is Che first of the Nitagraph Star series releases and comes Co Phoenix with the highest possible praise from screen critics.
 It is a production that is of great moment particularly at this time, in .smuch as it portrays. in a sense, de- tails Of tho operations of the German spy organizations before and after the war and counter measures of the allied secret service. These things are the basis of The Highest Trump" feature production for sunday and Monday. Augmenting the program for these two days is a Sunshine comedy, undoubt- edly tlN best comic series recently pro- duced. and 60 Mutt and Jeff cartoon reel.
 The Hippodrome vaudeville schedule for Tuesday and Wednesday brings an

that there might be any theater -goers to miss this show and miss the charm ing portrayal of Kathleen by Miss Wilma Steck, the leading woman of the Del s. Lawrence company.
 Thes uccess of the Del s. Lawrence company in Phoenix was instant. Ten minutes after the rise of the curtain on the opening night it was evident that the company brought here from San Francisco was a winner and that the stock engagement here would be the biggest success of any in the his tory of the theater
 While Kathleen is an Irish girl who marries itno a rich family and goes to a big city to live, the play is not an Irish play, the scenes all being laid in New York. Those who do not like Irish plays" may have their fears dis pelled-
 Aside from the entirely competent members of the Del s. Lawrence com pany, the plays at the Elks are pre- scented in a manner that is fitting and of the same standard as the people, The stage settings in Kathleen of Kildare" are a delight to the eye.
 There are but two more perform ances of this charming comedy, and then will be presented on Monday night the successful comedy drama, After Office Hours" This play, which is running at the present time in New York, tells the story of a young woman in an office in a big city who strug- gles to retain her position and her honor, but, through the exercise of woman's wit and ingenuity, she wins out.
 In this play Miss Steck has one of her very best roles, excelling, if possi- ble, her part of Kathleen. MT. Law renee will be seen na very strong part, while all the other members of the company are capably cast. There is special scenery for the production.

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH.

Investigations continue to disclose
the rather strange fact that although
prices are high and higher, there is
no protiteering. And once more 1t
may not be out Of order TO mention
that we do things here in way to
encourage proflteering. Buying, with
anything like science in 1t, is practi-
cally unknown here The Hutchinson
Gazette, in looking 1t over, sizes the
situation up in this fashion,
THE American public persists in
buying things it doesn't need and ut
exhorbitant prices. The cheaper cuts
of meat do not move any faster when
the better cuts double in price. Shop
girls are shOd in the latest styles of
shoes whether they cost five dollars
or fifteen pair. The travelling pub
lie demands the best the finest no.
tells have to offer whether the price
be three dollars a day or thirty. The
cafes and cabarets and grills and
similar resorts are as thronged as
ever, and the cheaper restaurants,
where the serving Of food is the main
business, do not gain in popularity.
Nobody that is anybody" quits joy
riding when tires are boosted fifty
per cent. Whether gasoline be fif-
teen cents or fifty gallon, the
roads are crowded on Sunday. The
only institution not patronized in a
period Of inflated prices is the saw
ings bank, and the higher the tax is
the more dense the crowd becomes
around the counter. No other ma
ton does this. No other nation can
afford to do it,"

the click OF his pick against the

Clearly It was an epochal day in
the history OF that Ohio village, for
the preacher and his flock, goaded
to action, then and there launched a
Sunday lid crusade which in less
than one short week has taken such
hold that hereafter picture shows,
drug stores and everything else Of a
worldly nature. even to butcher shops
and grocery stores, must rigidly OBJ
serve the Sabbath mandate.
