BANQUET IF MESA'S
 AMERICAN LEGION
 |S GREAT SUCCESS

MESA. Oct. 9.-There were great times at the banquet of the Mesa post of the American legion Wednesday night. Thirty dive men gathered around a sumptuous banquet at the American Kitchen and did full justice to the repast. They went through that dinner in record time and then settled back to the enjoyment of a musical program secured for the oc- casion by the entertainment committee. Misses Irma Vance, Jeona Pomeroy and Mrs lmogene Guthrie rendered violin trios and responded to repeated encores. Vocal solos were sung by Miss Merle Skousen and eX-service man Johnson. The latter sang army songs. and in these at times the others joined though it is admitted that most Of them were too full for melodious utterances. Mrs. Duke was the ac- companist for the various numbers.
 Addresses were made by Judge Dougherty, Secretary Lush and others of the legion. Among other matters of business was the appointment of a committee to look after permanent quarters. The membership of the local post numbers 42 men and there are more who will join. The enter tainment committee announced a dance for the coming Friday night, details of which will be given later.
 It is considered that now the Mesa post is firmly established and will proceed steadily to the working out of a strong, influential body of men united in the best interests of their country.

asaas Brush HamIetn at Hip

William Desmond will for the final times today, present at the Hip, "The Sage Brush Hamlet" one of the most pleasing western dramas presented in this city for quite a while. The title of Hamlet" has been given this erst- while college man cowboy, for, like the Hamlet of Shakespeare, he had a reason for his peculiar actions. Ham, let of the old days chose melancholy as the piece de resistance" this Hamlet from the cactus chose the easiest weapon at his command-"red kicker" and never was there a more complete "souse" than this boy DOT trays, but never takes a drink. The whole story hinges around the fact that this boys father has been the v1c- tim of band of thugs. To entise the leader from his lair, and get him in the open, the son pretends to be the champion booze hound of the western territory, striking the most responsive chord in thugs nature. When he does entice him into the fight, the action starts in earnest, the climax showing the complete victory for Hamlet, not only in averaging the wrong, but win ming the sweetest girl he had ever known.
 Tomorrow the Hip will offer a big double bill, headed by Mary Pickford, and augmented by Charlie Chaplin in Shoulder Arms"

PUTTING LIFE INTO
 TEMPE MEN'S CLUB

TEMPE, Oct. S.-The Mems club be- ing apparently in a semi dormant con- dition, three young men of the town have undertaken to carry on privately the clubs social program until such time as the organization gets on it's feet or until the local post of the American legion is in position to undertake this work.
 Accordingly, a dance is scheduled for next Friday night at the Cosmopoli- tan hall for which an admission charge of $1 per couple will be made, or to be more correct a charge of $1 for each gentleman attending, women be- ing admitted free.
 At the last dance put on under this sort of an arrangement, the guaran- tors failed to realize expenses, but ii is hoped that the coming event will be in every sense 0 huge success. The young men who have guaranteed the orchestra and rental expenses are Pau Aepli, Harvey Holmsley and Allan Perry.

"The Miracle Man. al EIks

With but three more evening per- formances after tonight and matinee on Saturday the very unusual offering of "The Miracle Man" at the Elks theater will be withdrawn and those who have failed to see this remarkable drama will have missed an opportunity that will not come again for a long time.
 The Miracle Man as staged by George M. Conan, who is responsible for more theatrical successes than any other living man, and as presented here by the very capable Edler company is by all odds the biggest treat of the season. It is filled with surprising situations and intense lines. Miss Winifred Greenwod. Clifford Alexander, William Brewer, Charles Perley and others of the principals of the com pany have splendid roles.
 Owing to the Christian Science lec- ture at the Elks theater Sunday after noon, there will be no matinee that day The final performance of "The Miracle Man" will come on Monday night, giving way the following night to "A Pair Of Queens" the very funny farce which will be the bill for the next week at the Elks.
