Practically no snow remains on pres ent feeding grounds, only patches ap- bearing in the vicinity of Williams and about one inch n the Grand Canyon district while in the foothills of west ern New Mexico the ranges are entirely open.

Gus HiIrs MinstreIs at Elks

The new 1919-1920 edition of Gus Hills Minstrels will make it's first ap-
 pearance at the Elks theater com mencing April 15, with matinee Sat urday, April IS. This wonderful or ganization espousing the cause of hil- arity, merriment, tuneful music, rev elry, color, fun, comedy, novelty, wit
 repartee, vaudeville, farce. mimicry characteristic dancing and happiness
 IS enjoying vogue seldom accorded to any similar troupe, and at the same time establishing precedent not like ly to be eclipsed by so-called produc- tionS embodying all the ingredients of burnt-cork exposition. It is a combina- ton or old-time and minstrelsy of the day, coupled with all the alluring qualities Of sure-fire, never-to- be- forgotten production arranged for the purpose of disturbing the gloom of the world. Its dominant keynote is laugh ter. 1t serves, or at least that is the purpose of its sponsor, to eliminate Mr. Crouch from the face of the earth All the favorite blackface funsters in captivity have been engaged to serve the trick of installing happiness. Just how it has succeeded we leave to the triumphal career of the organization itself which is now in it's third pros porous year. George Wilson, the dean of ebony-hued Ethiopean comedy is still valued member of the company Others who aid and abet him in his inimitable tomfoolery machina tions are Wall, Jack Kennedy. Lee Ed mondS, William Hallett, Herbert Vii lison, Fred Freddy, Carl Graves, Ed Denys, Max Maxen, Three Musical Gates, William and Walter Markwith, James Brady, Eddie Gallagher, Jack Hayes, Johnny Buckley and p other singers and dancers and comedians. If you wish to hark back to the halcyon dax rf s<<-s<e and congregate with the purveyors of modern minstrelsy of the hour you must see this show which must be wit messed and heard to be thoroughly ap- preciated. Even the modest press agents store of available adjectives fails to pen-picture the lure of its wholesomeness, originality and other fun compelling propensities. Don't forget the inevitable street parade It is a treat in itself

Guy Bates Post cominq


 Guy Bates Post the great American actor, comes to the Elks theater five nights, starting with Sunday. April IS, in his much-discussed play. "The Masquerader," in which he has won the highest praise of his wonderful career from not only the foremost critics of the eastern and western theatrical centers, but of Australia as we'll.
 In "The Masquerader" Post plays a dual role which serves to display that versatility which marks him as Amer ica's foremost actor. It is most fas- cinating performance that he gives and one far removed from the conventional portrayals associated with most mod ern dramas.
 The Masquerader" was written by John Hunter Booth from the much read novel by Katherine Cecil Thur Ston, and is presented under the di rection of Richard Walton Fully. The elaborateness of the scenic investiture. the novel electrical effects and the general magnitude of the effects are pronounced features.
 Supporting Post are such clever players are Alice John. Elwyn Eaton, Clarence Handyside, Audrey Ander- son, Reginald Darlington and others.
 'In Honor's Web" at Lamara
 Harry T. Mercy, Vitagraph's popular star, never had better vehicle than Tn Honor's Web,'' the present offer ing which closes it's engagement with the final showings at the Lamara to- day.
 The role assigned Mercy calls for a very matter of fact man-not an ideal ist--but an idealist when it comes to a code of honor which believes that his word is his bond-and once given there is no power on earth to make him go back on it. On this charac- teristic hinges the development of the absorbing plot which the picture con- Iains. He has promised silence in or fer to save a woman's good name, and even though he faces a term in prison for a crime he did not commit-a sen- ,ence that could have been averted had he spoken the word he promised not 70 speak-the man remains firm. The author has very cleverly handled the periods of doubt more

The Auditorium took on a gala APP
pearance last night such as has not
been seen since its opening last fall
when the annual formal dance of the
knights of Columbus was held. About
$50 attended the affair, which proved
to be one of the most successful ever
conducted by hal organization.

Fred O'Brien's jazz orchestra started
to fill the spacious hall shortly after
8 o'clock many were present to enjoy
the first dance over the floor which
was like glass.

dancing door instead of up in the bal
cony. and the entire ceiling and bal
cony ratings were draped with huge
American flags and bunting. Nothing
but the American flag and red, white
and blue bunting. were used in the
decorating n the effect was impress
sive.
Many beautiful evening gowns were
worn by the young ladies present
while a majority of the men wore full
evening dress. AS the couples glided
about the hall under the canopy Of
flags, was given the impression of
a large military ball-only the civilian
full dress suit of the men ook the
place of the khaki colored and navy
blue uniforms of the service men.
1t II O'Clock dancing was discon-
tinued until all had been served with
refreshments consisting of ice cream
and cake, after which the dancing was
again begun and continued until 2
O'Clock this morning. In former years
the Knights of Columbus have been
handicapped in conducting these an
nual affairs owing to the lack of floor
space in the halls in which their
dances were held. las night however
