MUTT AND JEFF ARE
 SAME OLD SCREAMS

Mutt and Jeff in the Woolly West" which opened a two days engagement at the Columbia theater last evening was rather more than what has come to be expected of the Gus Hill serial musical comedy production on the famous cartoons. It was a ripping good attraction, not only because of the clever antics of the two well-known characters, but from a viewpoint on which musical comedy is judged. There are number of authentic song hits. Vocally, the performance is well above the average, and the show is unusually strong in its dancing features.
 Best of all is the chorus. It Is a chorus of girls, real girls and not an clents made up to. appear as such. They put a dash and spirit into the songs they sing, and their costumes are so many and various that the ap peal to the eye is never ceasing, during the entire performance.
 It was a crowded house that greeted the favorites on their eighth and most successful visit to Phoenix. It was a well-satisfied audience which de- manded encores for practically every number.
 While the lines are not over-rich in humor, there are after all few com binations of words which can rival a Mutt and Jeff dialogue for comic eff feet.
 One of the prettiest women who has ever made her appearance on the Columbia stage is LiZette Fuller whose dancing was captivating. Helen Lanes effective voice lent much to the per- formance and another notably good voice was that of Frank Lambert There is of course a bit of a plot, but it is indescribable. It has to do l with a gold mine in Arizona but it is of such minor importance when there are so very many good features that it can well be overlooked.
 The kiddies will enjoy their old ! friends at the matinee this afternoon | and everyone who missed last even 1 ing's performance will be wise to at i tend the show tonight.

THIRTY YEARS IT. LIFE SEN FENCE f OR VAN RITTER
Man Who Shot William
 Woolf Given Severe Pen alty By Judge Stanford; Long Trial Comes To End

From 90 years to life was the inde- terminate sentence imposed yesterday bv Judge Stanford upon J. E. Van Ritter.
 Van Ritter, who was found guilty of assault with intent to commit murder, is only 24 years of age. and if he serves the minimum sentence imposed, he will be an old man when he leaves the state penitentiary. He looked younger than his years when he stood before the court as sentence was pronounced He was almost boyish as he stood there waiting for the words which will place him behind the bars for practically the remainder of his life.
 Have you anything to say, Van Ritter, why sentence should not be pro- nounced'
 As the court asked the customary question, Van Ritter stepped forward and said firmly. "Yes, your honor. There was not sufficient evidence for a jury to return a verdict of assault with intent to commit murder" | F. C. Struckmeyer for the defense asked the court to recall the testimony of Van Riter's teachers who testified as 10 his exemplary conduct as pupil in the public schools of this county. He also reminded the court that there wer. witnesses who testified as to Van Riter's condition of mind shortly before the shooting.
 Held Crowd at Bay After the court passed sentence, | Struckmeyer gave notice of appeal ! from the sentence and also from the order denying the motion for new trial l The motion was argued shortly after the noon hour when the man who shot William Woolf because of dissatisfac- ton over an automobile trade, came up | for sentence.
 | Allegations of error in the instruc- tions to the jury were made by Struck meyer who took up the instructions one by one pointing out features that he ! claimed were misleading and wholly wrong. Particular objection was made l to an instruction read by the court Temporary frenzy or passion arising from excitement or anger, even though the frenzy or passion may be ungover- nable and nav produce crime, does moi exempt a person from responsibility where he is otherwise sane, and has the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong as to the act in question" County Attorney L. Nj. Laney in an- swer to MT. Struckmeyer stated tha' the instructions were abundantly sus- tained by authorities. He cited num- Der of authorities, the court denying | the motion of counsel for the defense. | The Van Ritter case has caused z great deal of interest, particularly be cause of the exciting half hour preced
 ing his arrest after the shooting O William Woolf. It was about the mos interesting 30 minutes in the history O the Phoenix police department.
 Walking to the middle of the stree after shooting Woolf. Van Ritter held crowd of several hundred people at bay
 He finally was overpowered through ; ruse.
