ROBIN HOOD' MOST FASC|NAT ING IF AL
 TIE COMIC OPERAS

Robin Hood,' which will be pro- duced at the Elks theater Sunday. and Monday Dec 1s and 20, is acknowl- edged to be the greatest masterpiece of comic opera ever written by Amer jeans. The charm of Reginald De Ko- ven's music is as fresh today as when it was first enjoyed 25 years ago, and the dialogIe of Harry B. Smith is as sparkling now as it was then. Like fine old wine Robin Hood" seems to improve with age, It has stood the acid test of time because 1t is a real work of art, and the genius which in spired it should gratify the pride of every American.
 Nothing could be more fascinating than the story upon which the opera was founded. The old English tale of Robin Hood and his band of outlaws is famous one and their merry pranks in Sherwood forest have furnished Sir Walter Scott and other writers with stories that will live as long as our language. Around this celebrated theme was built the delightful opera by de Koven and Smith, and in it's musical form they have given us a new pleasure

SAN CARLO GRAND
 OPERA CO. ID BRING
 NOTED ARTISTS HERE

Brandon Bros. managers of the Elks' theater announce that the San Carlo Grand Opera company, now on its ninth annual tour of the United States and Canada, will bring to this city a cast of noted artists and a repertoire such as no organization of like char acter ever has presented here.
 Reopening the Manhattan Opera House, New York, after the Hammer stein temple of music had been closed to this form of entertainmnt for 10 years, with an exceptionally successful four week season, the company which Fortune Gallo has led to progressive achievement for the last eight years is making this 1920-21 tour a metro politan procession. From each sue cessive city visited comes word that old favorites and new artists alike have won their audiences completely.
 Following out his policy of years, Impresario Gallo has retained those singers who, by their talents and abil- ity, have helped to build up the San Carlo reputation. Among these are Manuel Salazar, tenor; Queena Mario coloratura soprano; Stella De Mette, mezzo- soprano; Mario Valle, baritone, and Piero De Biasi and Natale Cervi bassos. He also has strengthened his personnel by the addition of such artists as Luisa D'Arclee, soprano from the Colisea, Buenos Aires; Made leine Kettle, gifted young American soprano; May Barron, mezzo- soprano from Italy and Latin-America; Flu genie Cibelli, tenor from the leading opera houses of Italy; Giuseppe Coral To, tenor from the Teatro Colon, Bues- nos Aires, and Nicola D'Amico bari tone from the Teatro Costanzi. Rome.
 As always, particular attention is paid to the San Carlo chorus. Gaetano Merola, musical director, insists that voices shall have first considerat ton and that they shall have thorough training. He is just as careful of the orchestra, which has been selected from the foremost organizations in the world
 With 90 members in the company, and scenery and costumes of quality and quantity unusual even for San Carlo, opera of the highest standards may be expected when the organiza ton comes to this city on Christmas Day, Saturday December 25, Matinee and Night.

MANY SONG HITS IN
 NEW MUSICAL PLAY
 AT ELKS THIS WEEK

If there is any truth in the adage that You profit by experience' then Her second honeymoon" should have been better than the first, and the new play which opens at the Elks theater with matinee this afternoon, which. by the way, is called 'Her Second Honeymoon" should be better than any previous endeavor, though that would be expecting entirely too much for the concensus of opinion right now is that the Brandon Stock company is coming nearer to putting up a $2 attraction than the companies that charge that amount and what further pleases the local theatergoers is that they can see the Brandon Brothers productions for popular stock prices.
 Her Second Honeymoon" which will run for the entire week with mat inees on Sunday, Wednesday and Sat urday promises to be a big laugh fes- tival with a very interesting story. beautiful melody numbers interpolated at just the right spots. clever dancing srecialties by the dashing American Beauty Chorus dressed in bright, new.

'EARTHBOUND ID START ENGAGEMENT
 AT STRAND TODAY

Earthbound' starts this morning at tite Strand. p'his is the announcement that has been awaited more anxiously than perhaps the booking of any other motion picture in the city for several years. For "Earthbound" holds the reputation of being not only the most unusual picture to ever reach the screen-but the discussion of a subject that reaches everyone-the subject of life after death.
 Associating in the cast such people as Wyndham Standing, Naomi Chil- ders, Mahlon Hamilton, Flora. Revalles William Lawson Butt, Alec Francis Billie Cotton and Kate Lester, Goldwyn has arrayed a staggering lineup of talent to interpret the picture that has beld the whole country from ocean to ocean spellbound in it's grip.
 It is an awe-inspiring theme-a staggering plot built around in equally staggering creed-and Basil King has suggested that it will be best enjoyed If the picture is followed fin it's natural order of mathematician the begin hing to end. It is in the endeavor to afford Phoenix the opportunity to so review the picture that the Strand is opening tue theater at II o'clock this morning announcing that each show VIII require two hours to project. This VIII make the screen times: 11:0O. zoo. 500, $500. 7:0O, $500. It is also re- quested that advantage be taken of wherever possible of the morning and afternoon screenings, that the conges- tion on the night shows will be re- ueved.

that adds zest to the story of the great est of Englands' popular heroes.
 Robin Hood" was by no means an imaginary character. He really ex- isted, and his romantic adventures happened during the reign of Richard Occur de Leon, the very mention of whose name arouses a thrill Robin Hood was originally a nobleman. who became an outlaw in revenge for an in justice done him by the authorities. He was extremely popular with the common people. and little wonder, for he only robbed the rich and shared his spells with the poor. He easily evaded the officers of the law, whose unsue- cessful efforts to catch him furnish much of the humor Of the opera. The love scenes between Maid Marian and him are without doubt the most TO- mantle in all comic operas For this we should be devoutiy grateful, for all the world loves a lover, except, per haps, his rival
 An opera of such merit as Robin Hood' demands 8 singing cast of the highest order, and the coming produc- tion fully meets this requirement, as the principals are all of grand opera calibre.
 Heading the cast is Albert Parr as Robert of Huntington (Robin Hood) and Miss Elsa Thiede as Maid Marian Other popular members of the company are Betty Baxter, who sings Allan-a- Dale Harry Longstreet sings Little John, Mary Baker is seen as Anabelle 1 while the part of Will Scarlett goes to William Degan.
 The comedy roles are admirably cared for by Tom Burton as the sher- | if of Nottingham, Madeline Hartfori as the buxom Dame Burden. and Ru- dolph Kouch as the willy Sir Guy oi Gisburne.

I'm Wall Street
Four Months Money Lent

Wall Street brokers, whose diet Of
time money has been inordinately slim
in recent months, yesterday found what
they now look upon as liberal supply
Of such credit. The largest sum lent
on time on the floor for Stock Ex-
change purposes that has been put out
in several months was reported to have
been offered yesterday, and it was
quickly taken. The amount in itself
was infinitely small in comparison with
what the latent demand is, yet the ap-
pearance Of the funds encouraged Dor
rowers. On mixed collateral tho money
was lent at 8A per cent for four
months.

Sustaining the Weaker Roads

One of the quantities in figuring
the worth of specific railroad securi-
ties is the lack Of data as to precisely
how the new rate increases will affect
the earning. of any given road. The
Esch- Cummins act provides merely
that the earnings Of each of the
various groups of railroads shall be
equal to 51A per cent of the value OF
the property of the carriers. Within
the group, some roads may con-
ceivably earn more and some less. 1t
is not k ,wn what the policy of the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
be toward the roads that earn less. In
view of this uncertainty, the view of
S. Davies Warfield, head of the Ma
tional Association Of Owners of Rail-
road Securities, on the subject is es-
pecially interesting. In his capacity
as chairman Of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, Mr.. Warfeld says: "Since
the operation Of the act in relation to
rates is more or less automatic, should
the increase named not yield the ex
pected return under the requirements
called for by the act, the commission
will doubtless make the necessary ad-
justments to meet those requirements"

matter Of fact, the private crop reports
have lately been making estimates con-
siderably larger than that Of the gov
eminent, and this has been one of the
principal factors in hammering cotton
prices down. It's about time. in the
opinion of oldtime cotton market men
for certain of the Southern cotton

MEXICAN Development and progress, as outlined BY the
w new government Of Mexico, viii act as an impetus to
business in the United States, especially In FL PasO and
the southwest, for it means the opening Of a new market
for American goods and a supply Of raw materials with
which Mexico is bOunte0usly blessed
Before the revolution 40 percent Of FL Pasos trade was
with Mexico. When the revolution cut off that trade many
expected to see the city take a slump from which it would
take years to recover, but the spirit Of FL Paso was shown
when this great handicap was quickly overcome, new trade
throughout the southwest was developed to compensate for
that which was lost, and the city forged ahead. In the 10
years Of the revolution the city has doubled in population.
This was accomplished in spite Of the closing Of Mexico,
which had been one Of the citys best trade areas.
To profit most BY the new field which promises to open,
e. Paso VIII lead the way for the rest Of America in e1-
tending commercial relations and business acquaintance
It is too much to hope that Mexieo's troubles are over.
She cannot have peace until ~banditry is suppressed, and
she cannot win the confidence Of the world until she has
demonstrated her ability to protect foreigners and foreign
interests. But the new leaders know the world and its
ways. Thus far they have evidenced a desire for American
friendship and an ability to cope with the internal situa-
ton which promises results They appear to be of a more
practical turn than their predecessors.
The United States government and people have no de-
sire OF purpose to exploit Mexico. They have no territorial
OF political designs. In educational work along this line,
FL Paso, the gateway to Mexico, can exert a powerful IN
flusnce. It is here that Mexicaus get their impressions OF
the United States first hand, and if they receive neighooriy
treatment IN FL Paso, they VIII understand that America
is still their friendly vel wisher, disposed to cooperate N
developing Mexico, and requiring nothing but just dealing
according to the usage Of eivilize nations and the business
world.
