A STITCH IN TINE
SCORES BIC HIT FOR
LAWRENCE PLAYERS

"a Stitch in Time" which opened the
second week of the Del S. Lawrence
Players engagement in this city proved
even more popular than the initial Of
fering. Pleasing the large matinee and
evening audiences, the comedy drama
was received with hearty enthusiasm,
the play having a more general appeal
than the average attraction.
Wits its dashes of humor, its love
theme and its interesting plot, the play
held the attention of those who would
not miss a Lawrence opening. That
the number is increasing is testified to
by the box office, for after all the popu-
larity of company is its best recon-
mendation.
The local theatergoers like the Law
renee company and like them especially
well in the play they are now producing.
1t is an attractive story of a young
girl who enters an artists studio as
maid and who brings to him her quaint
wholesouled philosophy. Her unselfish
devotion to the man who has befriended
her, her efforts to make his sweetheart
worthy of him, even to placing herself
in wrong light in his eyes, are telling
points in the play that are emphasized
by the clever acting of fascinating
Wilma Steck. That the butler spoils
her plans and reveals the true situation
is not a matter of regret to the aud
fence who would not have the play enc
otherwise than it does with the little
maid in the arms of the artist whom
she loves.
The artist is we'll played by De
Lawrence and the butler is splendidlN
handled by that clever character actor
Howard Nugent, who is unquestionabl!
one of the best members Of the vel
balanced cast.
Melba Palmer is another favorit
who even in an unsympathetic role i
popular. Miss Palmer is always charm
ingly gowned and this, too, has its ap
peal with at least the feminine hal
of the audiences.
Margaret Nugent made yer.
charming and real mother who wishe'
her daughter married and excellen
bits were also to the credit of Josepl
Kemper, William Wagner and others il
the support Of Miss Steck and Mr.. Law
renee.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Strand

"a Society Exile" starring Elsie
Ferguson, and which the Strand is Of
fering as the attraction for today and
tomorrow, has met with the same pro-
nounced approval as Los Angeles reg
istered for the production on the occa-
sion of it's screening there recently.
Beautiful in location, and gorgeous
in settings and costumes. "a Society
Exile" is a wonderful demonstration of
the advancement of the motion picture
art. Elsie Ferguson, as the victim of
Islander and gossip, gives a wonderful
portrayal of difficult role, and proves
that she is one of the screens most ac-
complished actresses. The story is a
most appealing one highly intresting,
and handled in a masterful manner by
the star and her exceptional support
ing cast.
With the feature is being shown a
Mack Sennett comedy, when Love Is
Blind" the PriZma natural color pic
lures and the Pathe News, with the
musical program being taken care Of by
the Strand symphony orchestra with
Eugene Redewill conducting, and aug
mented by the beautiful organ solo by
George j. Hayes, who is playing one of
his own compositions, accompanied by
the illustrated song slides.
Wednesday starts the engagement of
Dorothy Phillips in "The Right to Hap
piness" Allan Holubar's latest sensa-
ton, which will be screened at no adj
vance in prices.

WOULD ELIMINATE
TARE FROM COTTON

MESA, Nov. 17-With a view Of
eliminating the tear of % pounds that
is taken off of every bale of cotton
sold in the Salt River valley, Mesa
cotton growers at a meeting held at the
city hall Saturday afternoon appointed
4 committee to confer with the gin
ners and buyers. The custom, the
Mesa growers contend, is one that is
practiced alone in the Salt River val
ley. and with cotton selling at S6c,
they feel that too much of a loss is
sustained. The committee appointed
is composed of George L. Freestone,
Ed. Eway and w. T. Tweedy.
During the course of the meeting
the growers listened to addresses by
Mr.. Stevens and Mr.. Davis. represent
ing the Arizona Egyptian Cotton
Growers association. These mer
asked for an affiliation OF the Mesa
growers with the American Cotton
Growers association in the marketing
OF the local produce and a committee
of three. Len Nets, NJ. NJ. Crandall
and d. J. Jones. was appointed to in
vestigate the matter and report back

CALL MEETING FOR
TEMPE BOY SCOUTS

TEMPE. Nov. Ito form some
definite policy and program for assist
ing the work OF the recently organized
Tempe Boy Scout troop, a meeting of
The parents OF the members of the
troop has been called by the acting
scout master for next Wednesday
night, beginning at 8 o'clock at the
city hall. All persons interested il
the boys Of Tempe are expected to
attend.
The need for some action by the
citizens in support of the Boy Scout
movement here has been apparent for
some time. It has been frequently
pointed out that the local Boy Scout
troops must have a fair chance if it
is to accomplish anything, and while
the boys themselves are. very much
interested In the work, little can be
done without the active support and
cooperation OF their parents and the
other residents of the town. For the
older people to sit idly by and expect
the boys alone TO take care of such
matters as appointing a scout master,
financing the troop and obtaining
permanent quarters. is little short of
neglect.
AT the meeting Wednesday night,
TO which all residents have been urg-
entity. invited, 1t is desired that the
parents take action along these lines:
Adopt a resolution asking the troop
committee to appoint permanent
scout master and recommending such
a man. Consideration should be Civ
en- this matter as man old enough to
command the respect of the boys but
with sufficient boy sympathy to I'M
derstand their problems, should be APP
pointed. The present acting scout
master is little more than a boy him
self and he feels that it is an injustice
10 ask him to continue with this work
when there are so many older men in
! the community. who have the time to
devote to It.
Adopt a resolution asking the troop
committee to appoint several assistant
scout masters and making recommen-
dations for appointees There should
be men who will be able to take the
boys on Saturday hikes and who have
/ "a sufficiently knowledge of military
raining to give the troop at least an
\ elementary knowledge OF il.
\ Arrange for a permanent troop meet
\ ing place.
Pledge and collect a sufficient
4 amount to insure the troop having the
necessary funds with which to carry
4 on its work, and appoint a board OF
trustees to administer this fund.
