CABARET TONIGHT
 AT ELKS THEATER

The cabaret special at the EIks the ater tonight promises to be the best entertainment of the kind yet offered by the popular Brandon stock com irany. Immediately after the regular performance of "The Man From Home" which has established a new standard for stock productions, the stage will be cleared for the performers to hold their weekly fun show" and from all indications this week it will be hum mer." The musical numbers are not so numerous in~ The Man From Home" and the musical members of the stock company have had ample time to pre- pare some new and startling stunts for the cabaret.
 Robbie" Deane is going to do one of Ter spectacular dances tonight, the kind that all her friends have been. asking for since she returned to Phoe nix. Irene Noblett shas some real '.jazzy" numbers; Jay Allard, Marie Rich George Banta, Eddie Young md every member of the cast, even all the members of the American Beauty Chorus" have some new and distinct ly novel acts that are sure to drive away all care and send the audience hc me laughing.
 In addition to the regular members Sof the company, two new features will b., added tonight. Miss Loana Graham classic dancer will put on one of her startling numbers: and Nick Brown.
 the man from way down east" has been engaged agai. for the cabaret to- night, and all who heard him a few weeks ago will be anxious for an op- portunity to renew acquaintance with the clever old fellow again.
 The Man From Home" is making q decided hit with playgoers and is going to break records for attendance at the Elks theater, and the big cabaret spe- cial tonight makes a double bill, either one of which is worth more than the admission price. The Thursday nights at the Elks have become so popular that patrons should make reservations early

LAONA GRAHAM TO BE
 SEEN AT THE ELKS

Miss Laona Graham, interpretative dancer has been engaged by Brandon brothers to appear at the Elks theater Thursday and Friday nights in con Junction with the Brandon stock com pany now playing Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson's great Ameri- can drama, The Man from Home" Miss Graham will put on one of her most dramatic dances, "P1ato's French Grotesque," in costume and special set ting, and will appear as a special fea- ture of the cabaret performance to- night and the midnight frolic tomor- row after the regular play.
 Miss Graham is very attractive per- sonally and has made a number of friends during her short stay in Phoe- nix who will be glad of an opportunity 10 see her in program of dances with the proper surroundings and stage set tings. Before coming to Phoenix Miss Graham was featured over eastern vaudeville circuits and has a load of pleasing testimonials from eastern newspapers and managers. Her dances are graceful, full of action, life and color and sure to be a sensational hit with any vaudeville bill in the country.
 She will be at the Ell1s two nights only, Thursday and Friday nights, in addition to the regular show, and there will be no advance in prices.

TOFT'S TO STAGE
 NEW YEAR PARTY

The night of nights, where fun, frolic and gay festivity go hand in hand, VIII be New Years eve at Tofts Country club. Bundles and great loads of noise and fun-makers have been delivered to the park and another train-load of guns whistles, horns, squawkers, whin- CTS, wheezers, stormers and ribbon con- fetti hats and all kinds of decorations will be in before the gay New Years party swings into action.
 The program of entertainment is complete, with the best talent to be had, in the shape of Frank Farnum i'll "Pavlowa's Swan Dance" among other features, and Chuck Ward, the master trick violinist
 Frank was just seen once in a tiny bit of this Pavlowa dance and every one said it was a perfect scream" Ward has been seen over the states, but he will furnish one of the biggest novelties in the entertaining line ever seen in Phoenix. It's trick violin stuff, but it isn't the violin that you hear you simply see 1t.
 If you want to be sure of ringside seats for New Years eve make reser- vations early.

erson Hough which comes to Mauk's Columbia theater beginning today.
 Looking back over the huge variety ot big fights in picture climaXes, it seems as though there is no longer any room for change. Film directors made their fights in storms, on land and on sea, on top of cliffs, in balloons and in airplanes, in border saloons and in the delicacy of elegant feminene boudoirs- It remained for Emerson Hough, the novelist, to write into a noval not in tended for the screen the color of an incident he had witness nearly 30 years ago and thus, when the novel was filmed at last, to furnish motion pie lures with an entirely novel setting for a primal struggle. As seen in the photoplay, Roy Stewart and Edwin Wallock, in the respective roles of chief hero and chief villain, of the all star cast, fight desperately on the roof of a shanty that is drifting, half sub merged, down the roaring flood caused by the bursting of a huge power dam in a narrow canyon.

American


 A double bill will be given tonight at the American, in addition to the wonderful dance always afforded. Chuck Ward. champion trick artist on the violin, will be in action again to- night, and by action that Is what Is meant. This is violin to be seen more than heard, for it's not in the same spot more than two seconds at a time.
 Farnum, the eccentric dancer who has danced everything from the ridicu- ilous to the sublime since he has been .at the American, will have a feature number for tonight, which is all his own, and one which the Orpheum cir suit said was the best of the year. Farnum has perfected dance called the Mixers Dance and tonight he will put it on with all the aecessary accessories.
 With this combination of talent at the American tonight, the most popu- lar dancing palace will be packed.

Make up your mind right now that you're not going to miss the "doinsp New Years eve at the Blue Bird for the information has leaked out that it will be night such as has been never before enjoyed. Preparations are go- ing forward at a rapid rate, and when the throng of merrymakers gather at the Blue Bird Friday evening surprise after surprise will greet them.
 Old Man Time has a very able rep resentative in the "Temple of Happi- ness" and his latest protege, 1921, will be ushered in with all the pomp and ceremony befitting his station, fact that guarantees the evening will be one that no one can afford to miss.
 In the meantime, dancing is enjoyed every evening, and Carol Reed and his inimitable jazz band never fail to please.

THE TEN PER CENT ADVANCE

This announcement of a ten per
cent advance Of wages in the mining
industry of Lake Superior has not
created much stir but it means a
whole lot. 1t means some millions
of dollars distributed in wages and
salaries in addition to what was dis
tributed for the same service in 1919.
Furthermore, there will doubtless be
more men employed this year. The
10 per cent advance affects all in
comes under $500 per year. Ad-
justment of salaries above that sum
will be made by the companies direct.
The advance is effective as of Feb. /.
The mining company whose payroll
has been S1,000,000 yer year, and
there are many who have a payroll
as large, or larger than that, is now
on a basis of 100000. There is
just one fly in the iron ore producers
ointment. He doesn't mind the high
wages but he does banker for service.
One mine manager says:
''The only thing we have to COM
plain of is ineficiency, or the dispo-
sition of miners to do just about SO
much and call it day. The average

wage for contract miners is now
$7.36 per day of eight hours. Many
make more, of course, but we would
like to see them earn $12 to $13 per
day. If they would turn to and
hustle the ore out, and earn the big
money, they would do us as well as
themselves a service, for they would
cut down our overhead by so doing.
But when they are satisfied to earn
a comparatively moderate wage we
feel it in the overhead. Some of the
contract miners, of course, are tax
ing advantage of their opportunity
to make big wages, and we wish they
all would"
Average wage for underground
miners is $7.36 compared with $2.75
in the lean days of 1914. A steam
shovel runner now makes minimum
of $11.55 per day of 10 hours. Com
mon labor gets 1888 per day of SIM
liar length. Mine locomotive engin-
GERS earn 1882 and brakemen seas
per day.
There is great prosperity on the iron
ranges Of Lake Superior. This pros
perity has existed for long time and
is more pronounced now than ever
before. It is true that the neces-
sites of life cost more now than they
did in 1914 but if the miners were
to vote on the question of $2.75 per
day and 1914 prices, or $7.36 av-
erage now, with possibilities of SIP
or more per day, and the current
prices, there would not be many
votes to return to the old days.
This great prosperity in the Lake
Superior region can best be under
stood by the old timers, for there
have been lean periods which they
will never forget. The young men
on the Lake Superior iron ranges do
not know what hard times are if they
have lived here all the time.-Skil-

HELP HOTELS AND
SUMMER RESORT
TEN THOUSAND LAKES ASSOCI-
ALTON MAPS OUT FINE CAM.
PAIGN--MOTION PICTURES
OF SUPERIOR FOREST.

Organization of holding COM
pany with capital stock of several
million dollars to finance the con-
struction of additional hotels and
summer resorts throughout the State
of Minnesota, to take care of the in
creased travel that has been created
through the advertising campaign
carried on by the Ten Thousand
Lakes Association, was decided upon
at the annual meeting of the associa-
ton, held at the Radisson Hotel, Min
neapolis last week. Through this
plan, the association hopes to put in
to circulation millions of dollars
brought into the state by tourists
each year which have been turned
away to other states that are appeal
ing for summer travel and have the
accommodations to care for them.
A committee was appointed to dis
cuss ways and means of promoting
this proposition and definite pro-
gram will be outlined in the very near
future. The urgent need of such a
proposition was voiced unanimously
by the one hundred delegates that at
tended the annual meeting. Lack of
proper hotel facilities for the visitors
was discussed by the resort men and
immediate steps toward avoiding the
inability to house tourists was de-
clared to be imperative, and the only
remedy was seen in the forming of
the holding company.
The program of the Ten Thousand
Lakes of Minnesota Association to be
followed this year includes coopera-
ton with all agencies for passage of
Amendment No. 1, known as the Bah
cock Good Roads Amendment. Closer
cooperation with hotel and resort
men in the state in order to provide
better facilities for the tourist.
To attract permanent summer
home builders to the state.
To interest investors in the agri-
cultural, industrial and commercial
opportunities of the state.
To Take Motion Pictures.
Moving picture expedition through
Superior National Forest in coopera-
ton with the U. s. Forest Service, the
Commercial Club of Ely, Minnesota,
and the st. Louis County Club, which
pictures will be given international
circulation. Educational campaign
in cooperation with other travel or
carnations through the newly
formed American Travel Develop
ment Association to stimulate travel
in America by Americans and dis
courage travel abroad.
Compilation of Badeker on the
waterways and highways of the state.
This, in addition to the advertising
campaign to be conducted with the
appropriation made by the state and
supplementary funds that will be con-
tributed by individuals and communi-
ties throughout the state.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ONE?

Here is one on the use Of verbs
manufactured out of nouns, satirized
by E. B. Hughes in The Writer by
the story of the city boy who wrote
his brother on the farm as follows:
Thursday we autoed out to the
Country Club where we golfed until
dark. Then we trolleyed back to
town and danced until dawn. Then
We motored to the beach and Fri
dayed there" The brother on the
farm promptly wrote back:
Yesterday we buggied to town and
baseballed all the afternoon. Then
we went to Ned's and pokered until
morning. Today we muled out to
the cornfeld and geehawed until
shutdown. Then we suppered and
then we piped for awhile. After that
we staircased up to our room and
bedsteaded until the clock fived."

SUPERIOR HAD
SOME TEAM
THE FASTEST GAME ON THE
ELY FLOOR GOES TO THE
VISITORS-SCORE %
TO Is.

Before wildly enthusiastic crowd
that filled every seat in the Audit
orium Saturday evening the Ameri-
can Legion team of basketball shoot
ers went down to defeat at the hands
of the Cathedral Athletic Association
team of Superior in the best game
ever played on a local floor on a
score Of % to 16.
The Superior boys opened the per-
Torrance in the beginning by shoot
! ing baskets from whichever quar-
ter and at the end of the first half
led the locals by score of three to
one. The second half considerably
changed the aspect and the locals
played the fastest article of ball they
have put up for the season. The lead
from the first half was too heavy to
overcome however and the game
ended before the difference could be
equalized. Five minutes more Of
play would have changed the score.
The evenings waits were made
more pleasant by the Ely Finnish
band which rendered choice selec-
tions and the game between the
grades of the school. A notable
feature of the Ely-Superior game was
the gentlemanly behaviour, Of both
teams. 1t was game between
gentlemen and the best side win. This
was in strange contrast to several
other games we have seen where it
seemed to be the ambition of every
player to see how many men he could
lay out.
