tSTATE SUFFERS LOSS OF $5OOOO ON ACUA FRL4 SAYS MADDOCK

Damage done the state highway bridge across the Agua Fria by the recent floods is estimated by State Engineer Maddock to run between $5O,OO0 and $60,000. Both approaches have been badly torn up and the course of the river has changed until now very little water runs under the bridge, the main body flowing through 5O0-foot gap between one approach and the bank.
 Work will start immediately in re- pairing the damage. It is believed that an entire new section will have to be constructed to bridge the 500- foot gap

 For the first time since the flood communication has been estab. lished between Phoenix and Buckeye Through the damage done the high way bridge across the Agua Fria on the Phoenix Buckeye road, the wash ing out of the Arizopa-Eastem rail- road bridge, and the damage done to the telephone lines leading to Buck eye, that town has been practically shut off from supplies and communi- cation for several days. & z

THE EXCEPTIONAL CASE

Five-year-old Freddy often showed pugilistic tendencies. One day he had been using his fist on 3-year-old sister Helen. The visiting aunty said:
 Freddy, don't you know that a gentleman never strikes lady?"
 Instantly Helen stopped crying and exclaimed:
 "Oh, yes, they do."
 "Why, Helen" said aunty, "when did you ever see gentleman strike a lady?"
 With an air of Convincing proof the little maid replied:
 "Why, my daddy spanks me-"

SEES BIG SEASON
J. Fred Zimmerman Optimistic Over
Theatrical New Year

"When the Orpheum and Keystone
Theatres resume for the new season l
feel they will be as bright and fresh
as when they were first opened. I may
also add that it is my belief, based on
nearly half century of study of con-
ditions, that the coming theatrical sea
son bids fair to overtop, in business
way, any that has preceded it in many
years." said J. Fred Zimmerman, Sr.,
owner of five theatres and interested in
a dozen more.
The Orpheum will be opened on Labor
Day with the Mae Desmond Players.
Miss Desmond is under contract to ap-
pear in every production. Mr.. Fielder,
Mr.. Hitner, Miss Sanford and other
fnvorites will appear in series Of
standard plays. The Orpheum has been
renovated from top to bottom, the Be
lasco system of stage lighting installed,
new draperies and furniture provided.
The keystone will open on August %
under the same policy that has proved
successful. Among the improvements
is a new stage, new system of stage
lighting, new decorations and fur
nishings and q fresh stage equipment.
The theatres will be under the man
agement Of NJ. w. Taylor, with Frank
G. Zimmerman representing his father S

VAUDEVILL|ANS QUIT
CHARACTER MAKEUP
Stella Mayhem, for Instance,
Sings NANNY" Ditties in
Evening Dress

One marked change in present day
theatricals, noticeable to the regular
patron who witnesses all branches of
entertainment, is the lack of character
make among stage stars. Seldom
does one see grotesque costume or facial
make up unless it is the comedy aero
bat or burlesque comedian, and even
in these cases 1t is rare. The red
whiskered Irishman, the Hebrew with
the "crepe" beard and the blackface
comedian with. the fright wig' are
almost extinct.
Among women stars, comedy make
up is almost unknown, the present day
comedienne depending entirely upon
her personality for comedy, either in
talking, singing or dancing. One case
in point is that of Stella Mayhem,
known as 1.-THE Cheeriest Coincidence, "
who comes to Keith's next week. Miss
Mayhem has forsaken character make
up. Regular theatre patrons remem-
Der her characteristics of the old south :
ern "mammy." There is probably still
desire to see her strut across the stage
in that character, but She has aban-
doned it, and now does all her coon
songs in evening dress.
Miss Mayhem has not abandoned
"coon" songs; as a matter of fact she
features them in her repertoire and she
does the "waddle" she introduced on
her nanny" characters, but the
CHEEKY comedienne has forsaken char
acter makeup.

lem concerning her happiness equally as
acute as the poor working girl. Miss
Ward heartily agrees.
1.-The highly educated woman" she
said, literally surrounds herself with
obstacles. She is more difficult to please
than her simpler sister. She has also
somewhat increased sense of independ-
ence in the feeling that she is compe-
tent If need be to take care of herself.
At tho same time it is perhaps equally
true that relatively smaller number
of men have the courage to think highly
enough of themselves to propose to her.
And so the rule works both ways. To
marry and give in marriage is n funda
mental which no wholesome education,
however high or broad, can in the long
run ever push far to one side. Which
shows that, reduced to clementals, all
of us differ in nowise from the girl in

COOLING THE STANLEY
Elaborate Ventilation System in Use
at Movie House

That science has made great progress
in the way of ventilation in public
places is illustrated by the new system
now in vogue for cooling and making
comfortable the Stanley Theatre. This
system was evolved by experts in ven
tilation.
Space forbids lengthy description of
the methods used to make the Stanley
cool Monster fans, constantly In mo-
ton, carry iced air to every part of the
auditorium through the air retorts
placed in the main floor and at frequent
intervals along the walls. The system
is SO intricate that for a fraction of a
second every minute this pure air is
forced up and out through the house
and at the same time n suction system
carries all the spent air.

FARNUM AS WILLOW
Fox Corporation to PIcturlze "lf
Were King"

"If I Were King" the play which
+. Ii. Sothern presented for q number
of seasons on the speaking stage, has
been chosen by the Fox Film Corpora
ton for the next William Farnum pro-
duction. The play was taken from the
novel of the same name by Justin
Huntly Mccarthy, and it created even
more of sensation in it's play form
than had the novel. SOthern made a
vivid stage picture of the part of Francois
Villon, madcap poet. Mr.. Farnum has
q romantic temperament which should
suit this part, and it is expected to be
one of the biggest creations of his mo-
tion picture career.
Opportunities for extensive scenic eff
fects and for gorgeous costuming are
virtually unlimited. 1t is declared that
in it's transition from the stage to the
screen the play not only will lose moth
ing of its charm, but should gain, for
it's scenes can be presented in spec
tacular form not possible on the stage,
while every detail can be rendered on q
more elaborate scale.

A CHANCE FOR ACTRESSES

Oliver Morosco is seeking another
Laurette Taylor and he must find her
within the next seven days among un-
known young actresses. This fact was
disclosed yesterday when the producer
sent out an IS. o. S." to various
theatrical centers for young actress
capable of playing a role quite similar
and fully as important as that created
by Laurette Taylor in "Peg o. Ny
Heart"
The role for which Mr.. Morosco is
seeking young woman of Miss Tay-
lor's personality and accomplishments is
the leading feminine role in "Seven

of the same name, which is scheduled

constructed and enlarged Little Theatre,

Miss eara In New Romantic Role

As a beautiful, semisavage princess
of a South Sea Island tribe, Theda Bara
will be seen at the Victoria week of Au-
gust II, in the first showing of her
latest William Fox production, "a
Woman There Was" The wild, pic
turesque islands Of the South sea, abode
of the pearl hunters, were chosen for
the locale, and Miss Bara is the center
of an unusual drama-a woman of fire
who defes her tribe and gives her life
to save an American missionary to
whom she has offered her love. This
is essentially an out of doors picture,
with the tropical jungle and palm stud
ded shores serving as stage. In one
scene Miss Bara leaps into the seething
sea as typhoon sweeps over the island.
A village Is all but swept away.
