WHEN BEARCAT WENT
 DRY" AT PLAZA TODAY

Charles Neville Buck, author of When Bearcat Went Dry" the super feature which will be the attraction at the Plaza Theatre today, began his literary career in Louisville. Kentucky as a reporter on the Courier-J Journal
 In order to while away time while waiting to fulfill his assignments, young Buck wrote fiction stories on the back of envelopes and slips of paper. At night, when his newspaper work was over he would collect these slips and put them together. The re- suit of these labors would be sent away to magazines, and if one editor turned them down away they would go to another.
 This persistence won out in the end. Mir Bucks returns from his stories became so remunerative that he quit his newspaper job and took to fiction seriously. He soon became the most noted writer in this country who made use of the mountains of Kentucky as the background for stories of moon sinners, illicit stills, feuds and feudists.

Later the peasant girl comes to New York and in time em barks on a theatrical career. becoming, by reason of her shyness and aloof- ness, "the Saintly showgirl'' in a dash ing musical comedy.

This is cruelty brought to her attention when she falls in love with a young man claimed as the es pecial property of the leading lady. This girl lays a trap for Sadie into which the girl promptly falls and her sweetheart is made to believe that Sadies saintliness is only a pose.

Since the organization of the club there has never been more interest manifested in a golf tournament than there was in the annuac up event held last Sunday and Saturday at the San Marcos links. The winning by Daniel Nugent, Jr.. of the principal event was not a surprise to those who have been watching his consistently good pIayin 2 throughout the season. In justice to Dr. kimball Bannister, who was de- 1eated in the preliminaries by Nugent, It must be said that the doctors pro 1esslonal duties have naturally pre- vented any consistent practicing this winter ,and the both Saturday and sunday his playing showed much of the form that gave him the champion snip in the Southwestern tournament at Fl Paso last season.

 PICNIC ON DESERT

Screaming sirens. blowing horns and the staccato notes of many engines marked the departure of a train of 2S motor cars carrying 1S3 freshmen stu dents from the Phoenix High school for the "wilds of the desert'' about , o'clock yesterday afternoon. The pie nic on the sands proved to be one of the biggest events of it's kind in the high school annals
 Arriving at a point about two miles northwest of the Country Club, the motor cars were abandoned tempor- arily for a wild scamper over the hills. Signal fires were built on the sur rounding peaks while over big fire in the valley "eatS' were prepared. After storing away a generous supply of this worlds fruits, meats and vegetables, the members of the party gathered about the smouldering embers of the big fire for an hour of story telling. Plaintive calls of coyotes who had been left out of the feed" enhanced the ef- fectiveneSs of the grimmer tales. The return to the city was made at 9 o'clock.

MISS TALMADGE IN . ROMANTIC STORY Is
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

One of the best opportunities yet af- forded Constance Talmadge for the display of her talents is the role of Geraldine Barker in "The Veifed Ad- venture" which opens a limited stay of two days at the Columbia theater this afternoon. A beautiful thread of romance runs through the picture, and romance, it might be said. is Constance Talmadge's long suit" Her many ad- mirers can be assured of a rare treat when they view her work in this pie ture She is full of her customary dash and pep and her vivacious per sonality is given free rein. Her work in this production is exceptionally good and is certain to increase her already enviable popularity among local screen patrons. Geraldine Barker is a young and beautiful society girl, whose mar riage to Reginald Crocker, a society flop is averted. This occurs when she is trying to teach Richard Amnesty, a young man from Texas, a lesson as to the influence of woman over man, is herself enlightened regarding men. and unconsciously teaches herself a vital lesson of life.
 The supplementing program numbers include a Mutt and Jeff cartoon reel, damned chuck full of smiles and laughs, Polar dcomedy and also hits the funny spots, and Bray Picto- graph. The Columbia orchestra will be on the job, usual.

ORCHESTRA
 HAS MAR|MBAPH

No instrument adds more to the sorority and rythm of dance music than the marimbaphone, its deep throated wooden timbre casting a sub tie hypnotic influence over it's hearers. Although this instrument belongs to the xyIophone family, it is the regal member and holds itseluf alooft and a stranger to any but the most skilled musicians. For this reason few dance orchestras can boast a marimbaphone.
 After 15 years of hard study with the violin Geo. c. St. John, member of the original Peacock orchestra ap
 bearing nightly at this popular dance hall deserted the Stringed instrument for the Vaccinations of the marimba- phone and is now master of great five octave instrument The ordinary xylophone is limited to two octaves.

SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR ID ANY SHADE Don't Stay Gray! Here's an Old-time Recipe That Anybody Can Ap- ply

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat uraI color dates back to grand mothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked ap- pearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out ut-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of .Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound,'' you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply damp en a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this throug.. your hair. taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another application or two it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
