TIE NAN FROM HOME
 MAKES GREAT HIT AS OFFERING 1T TIE ELKS

Distinctly different is "The Man From Home" the play which was se- lected by the Brandon Stock company for this weeks bill which opened at the EIks theater yesterday afternoon with a matinee performance and which played to a capacity house last night.
 And different too, is the cast that is presenting this comedy drama, which is declared to be a favorite on the American stage today, for Ray Bran don is appearing in the title role. And judging by the reception given Mir Brandon at his initial appearance yes terday, the role was wisely chosen.
 The Man From Home was written by Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson, both of whom have endeared themselves to the American public. The Man From Home" is a mixture of comedy and pathos that sways one from laughter to tears with such start ling rapidity that the one is quite likely to overlap the other.
 As Daniel Voorhees, Pike, The Man From Home" and the guardian of Miss Ethel Granger Simpson and her broth CT Horace, Mir. Brandon proved to be the right man in the place. Aside from his splendid stage presence, Mir. Bran don handled the rather difficult part with an ease and skill that bespeazs daramtic ability and stage experience.
 The plot of the play hinges upon the European custom of giving a dowry, or settlement, with the young lady who marries, especially if she be marrying into family of rather more than or dinary prominece. The play brings out the contrast between the English way of handling such matters. and the more democratic and perhaps more desirable American method.
 In this particular play, Daniel Voor- hees Pike, of Indiana, goes to Italy. where his ward, Miss Ethel, and her brother, are visiting. Miss Ethel, which part is played in an unusually clever way by Miss Marie Rich, has consented to marry young St. Aubyn, the only arrangements left uncomplet- ed being the settlement of some s750,- 900. It is this that her guardian has crossed the ocean to attend to- and he is not altogether pleased with the young Englishma nand refuses to per nit of the financial settlement And so things og from one complicated sit uation to another until an ending that Is certain to please everyone is reached Russian revolutionist, escaped from Siberia, has considerable to do with l the unraveling of the plot, as does a letter from the American consul in London.

 The reporter talked with the mother of one of the prize winners The sirf wears her golden hair in 17-year- old fashion, possesses a good deal of grace, frolicsome procllvities, and is one of the brightest Latin students in the Nyack high school. The mother breathes matronly forbearing tinged with a tendency to say what she has TO say in the briefest possible manner. Here it is:
 'T don't say I approve of what hap pened at that performance. The point I wish to bring out Is that I wasn't there. and neither, for that matter, were the awfully shocked church peo- pie. All l know is this: My little girl told me that afternoon that she was to take part in a movie and I thought it would be a lot of fun TOT the child. thought she would take part in one of the crowd scenes or things like that. l had no idea that the girls would per form. And still no matter what they did. they did it as children"
 Town folk observed that although the mothers were ready to talk, their daughters manifested some shyness. and Nyack's young bloods snicker audibly and have no less audibIy ex- pressed not only their sanction of the performance, but a desire for a repe- tition as we'll. Meanwhile, the church folks nerves are on a ragged edge.

The action at all times highly dramatic, is accentuated through some very realistic battle scenes, scenes of bombardment, and action centering around the struggle between the north and south. The story, well known to theatergoers, re- views the romance of a northern sol dier and southern girl developing a very appealing love story, born in the strife of battle, nursed in the trials of siege and culminates in a happy end- ing made possible through very dra- matic incidents.

When it comes to something abso- lutely new in the amusement world you will find it at the American to- night for Frank Farnum will be there doing another one of his famous dances. "the Miser's dance"
 Frank scored the big hit of the even ing at Toft's Country Club Saturday night and showed the possibilities of his rapid changes by giving a series of different dances, ranging from Pavlowa's best to the buck and wing and the soft shoe. Tonight F'arnum will break loose with something en- tirely new to Phoenix.
 Farnum has been trying out several professional dancers in order to find someone who might be good partner in real Bowery dance. Really it is a task to find a suitable partner for Farnum, for when you consider that Farnum was the best dancer on the Orpheum circuit this year you know that there would be very few dancers who would make a suitable partner for him.

WHY A SEA SHELL RoARs

The sounds we hear in the sea shell are really air waves or sounds made by air waves, because all sounds are produced by air waves.
 The reason you can hear these sounds in a sea shell is because the shell is so constructed that it forms a natural sounding box. The wooden part of a guitar. zither or violin is a sounding box. They have the faculty of picking up the sounds and making them stronger. We call them ''reso- nators," because they make sounds re- sound. The construction of a sea shell makes an almost perfect resonator A perfect resonator will pick up sounds which the human ear cannot hear at all and magnify them so that if you hold resonator to the ear you can hear sounds you could not otherwise hear. Ear trumpets for the deaf are built upon this principle.
 Sometimes when you, with your ear alone, think everything is absolutely quiet, you can pick up a sea shell and hear sounds in it. But the sea shell Will magnify any sound that reaches it.
 It would be possible, of course to take sea shell to place where it would be absolutely quiet, and then there would be no sounds.
 There are such places, but very few Of them. A room can be built which is absolutely soundproof.

for an amendment to the constitution

was the real spirit of our constitution,
but it has been evaded in thousand
