MOTOR CLUB DOES NOT FAVOR
POLICE CHIEFS RECENT MOVE

The Motor Club of Harrisburg
through it's secretary, ]. Clyde N.Y.
ton, has recently sent out letters to
all members, relative to the recent
communication sent out to all motor
owners by the "Chiefs of Police AS
sociation," with headquarters at
Harrisburg, advising them their Or
ganization proposes to endeavor to
recover stolen cars for their sub
scribers, the fee being $1.00'fo each
car registered with them.
The Motor Club of Harrisburg
feels that this is a project that
should not be encouraged. In the
Motor Clubs opinion the men COM
prisiug this organization seem to be
regular police officials, and as such
the public is entitled to their best
services without the payment of any
special fee.
The Pennsylvania Motor Fedora
ton is now preparing u new motor
vehicle law that will be presented at
the next session of the Legislature,
which, If it is passed, will go long
way towards checking the traffic in
stolen motor vehicles.

advance necessary to meet the in
creased cost of material and labor,
and that as that cost is the same to-
day as it was three months ago,
there would be no decrease in the
price of the Apperson.
Conditions unknown at the present
time may reduce prices during the
summer months, but inasmuch as
the manufacturers of automobiles
are at least year behind in their
schedule, it will be 1920 before any
noticeable readjustment takes place.

 The greatest asset which Miss Curtis has as an actress is her naturalness.

 Many actresses spoil role which requires the subordination of their real character by attempting to add a grace and a suavitY to it which should not be there. That is to say, they are afraid to sacrifice their own personal charms for the sake of the picture Miss Curtis does not make this mis- take.

CHILDREN MUST BE IN SCHOOL, LOCAL

Cooperation with the superior court in it's child welfare work. will be ac- lively advanced by the Arizona Con- gress of Mothers according to a deci- sion reached by the executive board of the congress yesterday.

Children in the Detention Home will also claim the attention of the congress, which will lend it's best efforts in the child betterment work.
 Another important action taken by the board yesterday was that in con- nection with children of school age who are not enrolled in the schools. A reso- Iution was passed asking that every school district where a truant officer is
 not already employed appoint one and that he make point of locating all 1 children not attending school. The congress referred particularly to the cotton districts where it is understood a
 number of children are not registered
 at the district school.

At the Lamara

Today and tonight sees the final screening of William Farnum's pictur- ization of Zane Gray's splendid western classic, "The Lone Star Ranger" at the Lamara theater.
 Not since the screening of Riders of the Purple Sage" has there been seen locally a picture with such a kick" as is found in this lzirile story of a man who set out to avenge the death of his chief.
 Farnum is cast as a Texas ranger in the bad days and has his work cut out to unearth band of expert cattle thieves who were also responsible for the death of his pal. The leader of the gang proves to be a supposed highly respected citizen and, worst of all, the father of the girl this hard riding, quick k-shooting ranger loves.
 How he takes a position on the ranch of the gang leader, and how he pays the debt for the death of his friend and wins the girl, is the pith of the story of The Lone Star Ranger" It's a gripping semi-historical narrative of Texas when men rode hard and fought easily; when a life was a thing weighed lightly in the balance.
 Following '"The Lone Star Ranger will be seen Gladys Leslie in a smart society story of modern life. "A Stitch in Time" It remains for two days al the Lamara.

ADJUSTMENTS
STRAND ENTERTA|NS
 BIG CROWDS NIGHTLY

The Strand settled down last night to run Of seven days on the wonder tul Miracle Man" which bids fair to break all attendance records. It is a picture that not only gets them in on the advertising but every one who sees it goes out with the hope of sending friends to enjoy the splendid performance.
 The locale and the wonderful out door shots where the old Miracle Man is seen with his faithful dog gazing with fast dimming eyes out over the wonderful sunset at sea, are impossible except on the coast of Cali fornia where the scenic wonders were found to make this picture not only dramatic triumph but to make it artistically almost the equal of any advertised scenic wonder.
 The best advertisement of the pie ture of the Miracle Man" is the de- lighted patron who comes out after seeing the production. To those the pieture owes it's wonderful drawing power for no one who sees it will ever forget 1t and yet none are able to de- scribe it when once they have seen inc splendid work.
 The Miracle Man" is so big that to mention anything else in connection seems out of place but the fact re- mains that with the feature is shown what on any other screen would be termed special feature. It is the first "Prizma" colored photography picture ever shown in Arizona.
 The Miracle Man" continues at the same price until Saturday when the Famous Players -Lasky have consented hv wire 10 permit the local manage ment to give a special Saturday mat inee for children and women when g special price wiU be made, it is said.

THE MIRACLE MAN 1T. ELKS |S GREAT PLAY
 AND WELL PRESENTED

In sitting down to write review of ''The Miracle Man" the reviewer does so in an entirely different frame of mind from what he had pictured when ne en- tered the Elks theater last night to witness the Edler Stock company's presentation of George W. A. Cohan's drama.
 Instead of finding himself in the po- sition Of writing with view to say something nice" about something in different, he finds himself wanting to get the message across to the people to go and see corking good play unusu- ally well presented. For that is precisely what one will see if he goes to this weeks offering at the Elks. You musn't miss it, if in the H. C. of L. days you are still on speaking terms with the man in the box office. And, in the words of The Hopper" the dip who parades as cripple, that goes double" for those to whom money is no big item.
 The play having met with success in the big theaters in the east, the story of it need come in for no critical con- ment here. MT. Conan isn't in the habit of dramatizing plots that aren't worthy. Briefly, the play is the story of a quar- tet of New York crooks-three men | and a woman Ca woman, of course)- who stumbles across the Miracle Man in small Maine town, man who appar- ently has the supernatural power of | healing the sick, the halt and the blind ! By means of Helena, the woman crook they get on the inside track with the | old man, from which position they plan l to bring crowds of healthseekers to the
 Patriarch, have the woman collect the fees, unknown to the old man, and turn | the spells to the band to be divided
 among them.
 ] For the purpose of obtaining appar- ently uncontrovertible evidence of the
Arizona republican., 1919-10-07

Miracle Mans powers, two of the crooks come into the town, one in the guise of hopeless cripple and the other as victim of tuberculosis. The evidence" is to be used as bait with which to hook the hoped-for healthseekers.
 From the opening of the play, the audience is taken with the daringness of the plot, which is unfolded to the audience and to the other three crooks by Doe Madison, the advance" man and the brains of the gang. Clifford Alexander handles the part of Doe" in a very creditable maner. The climax comes at the moment the two crooks are to affect their faked cures, when the fakers, already affected by the un naturalness that pervades the atmos- phere of the Miracle Mans humble country home, utterly collapse at seeing a little cripple boy of the village throw away his crutches and walk into the arms of his unbelieving father-cured by the Miracle Man.
 From that point on the crooks reform in ne-tWo-three order, all under the healing influence of the patriarch. This is entirely to the satisfaction of the conscience stricken audience who want to see a happy consummation of the love that has sprung up between the two "crippled' crooks and two of the village lassies and between the brains of the gang and the woman crook. It all comes out fine, of course.
 Just a word about the acting. It may sound somewhat trite to say that il would be hard to pick out the star in the cast, but we are honest in making such statement They are all very diff l ferently good in very different parts And that's the way we like to see a cast well balanced.
 "The Miracle Man" will be the bill at the Elks for the remainder of this week. with matinees on Wednesday Saturday and Sunday. It is an excep- tional stock offering for Phoenix ol for any other city, and none who zoe: | to the Elks this week will regret it It's a great play, mighty well presented
