 and Was Put To Work

The following sketch of part of
 the life of Jack Dempsey who may
 be the world heavyweight cham
 pion after July 4, will prove of in terest to ring fans:
 | NEW YORK, June 20.-It was bit
 ter cold as Jack Dempsey and Liz
 Fisher when whirling over the right
 of-way of the Mississippi Pacific
 Railroad, clinging to the rods" be
 meath a fast passenger train, bound
 for Pueblo, Colo.
 | It was so cold that Jacks fee,
 were frozen, and at town which
 Jack thinks was HoisingtoE. and, al
 though he isn't sure of that point | they had to unload" The fighter
 hobo was in great misery, and Liz
 helped him to the roundhouse in the railroad yards.
 Fired Up the Car. They wanted to lie down and sleep. but the railroad folks chased them out, and they limped down the tracks until they came to an old box car They got into the box car and built little fire on the floor out of paper and some slivers of wood The blaze thawed them out, and under it's warming influence they fell asleep I woke up after a while" says Jack, land I smelt something burn Ing. The floor of the box car was on fire. Well, we got out of there pretty quick, you bet, and went on up into the town We were good and hungry, but Liz" had no idea of how to mooch something to eat, so had to hit house myself Can't Forget That Girl. T knocked on the kitchen door of the first one we came to, and out came the prettiest girl ever saw in my life She had great big eyes and grand smile I don't know why. but I felt ashamed all of sudden. and held my head down while I was asking her for some eats. She game us a bundle of turkey sand wichcs ana soiEe oranges, and l don't think I ever tasted anything so good in all my life. Say, she was a pip!" They brought up in the railroad station, and were sitting there get ting warm when the door opened and a minion of the local law entered, casting an eagle orb about the place.
 Put to Work on Pins.
 "He was looking for fellows to go to work" says Jack, "and he spotted Liz and me right away. He knew we were 'boes, and he was hunting 'boes. That's the way they get the work done in Kansas. Come on, you fellers,' he says to Liz and me, I've got nice job for you
 Well of course, we didn't want any jobs, but we had to go along with aim CT 20 to jail and even works better than a Kansas jail. He took us to a bowling alley and set us to work sticking up inc ten pins after the bowlers knocked 'em over.
 "I had on a hig sweater, and l sweat like a good fellow putting up pins for while. They had some

HIGHER PRICES ON COAL
 MAY BE LOOKED FOR

NEW YORK, June 19.-A London special to the Times says that the reduced output of coal and the higher price to consumer are foreshadowed. Sir Aukland Geddes estimated the output for 12 months from July l, 1919, after the reduced hours come into force, between 214,000,000 and 217 100000 tons, as compared with 2S7 100000 tons in 1913. To preserve a quantity for inland consumption and bunkers, all present restrictions on consumption must be retained and exports must be reduced from 34,OO0.OOO to 23,OO0,OOO. An increase to the consumer of about four shil- lings six pense ton is indicated.

Flynn was pretty much astonished at the moment. but afterwards he merely laughed at the incident. The Flynn victory over Coffey that seemed impending when the towel came in would have been serious blow to promotorial plans. And Flynn was never a spoil-sport. In addi ton to all that, he might have done something to his hands if he had kept on hurling them into Coffey.

vaudeville acts and three good film offerings, theatergoers can be assured of diversified program not offered in any other city of the state.
 As to talent, Columbia patrons have the reputation of the Hippodrome vau deville circuit to rely upon. Due to some confusion in bookings and the influenza epidemic, which paralyZe1 the theatrical business throughout the west, the agency at Los Angeles was unable to schedule the regular per formers through this territory, with a result that this theater suffered to a considerable extent. That is to say. inferior talent was booked for this city. On two other occasions, the fea- ture acts had to be cancelled because some of the members were taken i'll.
 Time heals all wounds,' and con- sequently, things are now running smoothly. The regular Hippodrome performers are now being routed through this city and. the high stand ing to be expected will be the rule hereafter.
 As evidence of the excellence of the vaudeville, the Columbia management feels qualification in being able to an- nounce the following four numbers for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week:
 Woolford's dogs, high class act of trained animals: Christie Leonard, the Southern songbird; Nat and Flo AL berts, singers, takers and dangers, and Ware and Marvin, those personality girls, musicians and eccentric dancers.
 The film program for these two days includes a Current Events weekly Chester Outing scenic travel and a good two-reel comedy. There will be matinee both afternoons at 2:30 o'clock

THE H|GR COST IF LIVING AND BOOZE-
 |S \ REAL PROBLEM

This here high cost of living is complicated problem. On Saturday night a citizen was accosted at a street corner by two men, each carrying a battered suit case. We are honest working men from Globe" said one of them ''We have just come from the mines and are broke. Could you let US have a quarter?" They looked like miners, but whether honest or not the citizen had no means of knowing.
 But he caught the fragrance of their breath; it was no perfume waited from cheap bootleg whisky, though doubt less it had undergone bootleg handling, it had its irigin in whisky worth while, for the citizen is a judge of such mat ters.
 I'm surprised" he replied, that you're not panhandling in a Packard, a Pierce Arrow or a Winton eight. You've both got something richer than I've had for many day. If you'll tell me where you can get more of that for d quarter I'll give you a dollar"
 We don't want any more of it." said one of the panhandlers; we spent the last cent we had for a' pint of it and the effect of it is about gone; we want some beans or something that will stay with us. The fact that we're only ask ing for a quarter is proof that we don't want to spend it for the demon rum | There's no place in Arizona where you can get a drink for a quarter" Thereafter the citizen went into Il | reminiscent and calculating mood. He | recalled the early days when a drink | anywhere on the Pacific coast was two | bits, not because that had anything to | do with the value of liquor but because | two bits was the unit of currency on | the coast. Later as the currency de- | teriorated. one could buy a drink O, | whisky for fifteen cents or a Hong | bot" If he wanted another drink i'm mediately he could buy it for the re- maining "short bit' Some thrifty | souls, regular patrons for whom one | drink at time was enough, had ar | arrangement with bartenders under which they paid alternately a long | bit' and a ''short bit
 A little later in the progress of civil | ization there were ten cent houses | About that time nickel beer made its appearance and the soloon keepers oi | the pioneer days felt that the old order
 was slipping away.
 The citizen then came back to the | prices of today and brought mathe- matics to his aid. And right here | every parent should see that his sor ' pays more attention to. mathematic, | than is now given 10 that noble sub.
 ject in the schools, in order that lik,
 this citizen he may arrive at inter l esting conclusions.
 The citizen remembers that ther,
 are 70 drinks of whisky in a gallon
 that is, 70 decent drinks, neither tn,
 so-called gentleman's drink nor tn, l drink with sideboards topping tn, l glass.
 The current price of whisky accord
 ing 10 the latest quotations from tn,
 bootleggers' federation is SS a pint
 and it is said by those who have in
 vestigated that that is rather unde
 than above the real market price. Tn,
 citizen found that there are Sst drink
 in a pint and that therefore the pric,
 of a drink of whisky in Phoenix nov
 is 91 3-7 cerSs.
 Truly, the old order changeth.

foundly sympathetic drama, it's been a long time since anything that could equal this production has reached this city. We're not attempting to say that it's the greatest thing ever done in picture, but for this particular type, it is a film of unusual excellence, one in a hundred, if your please.
 The story opens in Rumania ana the action quickly carries one through picturesque Balkans, China, Japan, a unique mining camp in western Amer ica and on to New York, contributing a variety of atmosphere which will be greatly appreciated. The outstanding feature of Her Moment" however, is the splendid acting of Anna Luther who does by far the best work of her career in the numerous tensely dra- matic scenes which provide an unend- ing series of climaxes for the story. The story and play deal with the redeeming power of pure love and has a sharply defined heart interest touch which will appeal to every type of picture fan. One of the many big moments in the film comes when a volcanic mountain erupts and smoth- CTS quaint village beneath mantle of fiery molten lava
 A Sunshine comedy, one of those films that drives dull care away, and a Mutt and Jeff, one of those perpet- ual fun producers, augment the pro- gram today.
 First Griffith Coming Again David Wark Griffith's master film spectacle, The Birth of a Nation, comes to the Columbia theater at pop ular prices on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. February 20. q and 22. This will be the first time that this great est of all film plays has ever been shown at popular prices in this city Founded on facts in American his | tory during the reconstruction perioc following the Civil war and the days of the carpet baggers, this play is nor, | than a mere film spectacle-the dream of some master producer. It is correc' in every historical detail - Griffith himself saw to that when he made the production.
 first great film spectacle ever pro- duced and thousands are of the opin- ion that it surpasses anything ever at tempted. It is the unfolding of one oi the many intensely interesting page. or Amerlcan history Into WHICH lHs master producer has woven one of the sweetest love stories ever told.
 And when. Griffith offered to thu American public this super -photoplay l he created three film stars who art recognized the world over as leaderl of the art. These are Henry B. Walt hall as "the Little Colonel" Lillian Gish as the lover and Mae Marsh a! l the little sister.

Her Moment said by critics to be the most extraordinary problem play on the screen, will be seen at the Co., lumbia theatcr for the last times to- day. This big super production, in which Anna Luther, the Titan haired star IS featured, proved big surprise at its first shOwings yesterday, far surpassing expectations. It is one of the most powerful and entertaining film stories seen in Phoenix in many Q day.
 The entry of this photoplay into Phoenix was practically unheralded. True, its producers said it was a great photoplay, but all producers say the same thing, so the Columbia manage ment paid no particular heed to the tip"

@e[Iloater EUROPEAN WAR IN
 SPEAKING TABLEAu

Highly patriotic was the farce "Guer- Ia Europea," presented at the Elks theater Sunday afternoon by Angelica Mendez and her company of IT play CTS. It proved to be extremely inter- estlng to Americans as well as to Span- ish- American residents.
 The speaking tableau was preceded by a foreword before the curtain by caesar MendeZ, the author and brother or the star. At the rise of the curtain at the playing of the national airs of France. and America the American Red cross and the Mexican White Cross appeared. Then came care-free Mexi- co. careless of his existence and drift ing with the tide of events.
 France then appeared, followed by John Bull, Italy and Belgium. Uncle sam invites Mexico to join him in the war, but he replies that he has enough war on his own hands at home. The kaiser and Japan come on the scene, the former bearing a map of the southern part of the United States. The kaiser asks Mexico to join him in fighting America and her allies and promises Mexico in return to give her Arizona and New Mexico.
 Uncle sam pleads with Mexico to remain neutral. while he is backed up by all the allies. After a struggle be- tween the kaiser and Japan on one side and Uncle sam and the allies on the other, Mexico finally determines to remain loyal to the United States. This brings prolonged applause from the audience.
 An old man, representing the poor 1 doWn-trodden people of Mexico, ap- pears leading a little boy. He pleads ! for justice for the Mexican people. Car ranza and Villa denounce each other | Then in tableau in which Angelica Mendez Is represented as Mexico, all factions are urged to drop their fight ing.
