TICKET SALE F0R THE. INTENSIFIED M|L|TA|RE. STARTED ON MONDAY.

Tickets for the Mepestrel Militaire. the big minstrel shcw which the high school cadet battalion will stage next Friday and Saturday evenings. went with the launching of contest among the companies of the cadet battalian. The battalion has been or ganized for the work and a great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused which has resulted in the whole organization getting behind the big show and boosting it so that it may be an un- qualified success in all respects. The company which wins the contest will have the honor of choosing the Queen for the May Fsete which will be put on in the near future by the girls of the school under the direction of Miss Hurley of the domestic science de- partment. The May Fete is an annual affair, one of the greatest events of the school year, and to be chosen Queen of the May is perhaps the biggest honor which a girl may re- ceivc during her high school career. Under the requirements for the choos- ing of the Queen as laid down by Miss Hurley the girl must be senior and the choosing must be done by secret ballot. the results of which will not be made known until just before the May Fete-
 Last year the May Queen was chosen by the company which won the honors in the military field day. The choosing of this years Queen is an opportunity which all of the com panies are striving their utmost to gain.
 Tickets for the two evening per forrnanccs may be purchased from the high school cadets or at the Ford Soda Shop. There will be no re- served seats on Friday evening, but on Saturday evening every seat in the house will be reserved. The reserva- tions of seats will start Thursday morning. Seats may be reserved either at Vic Hanny's or the high school.
 The Menestre1 Militaire is show intended by the cadet battalion to give the people of Phoenix, those inter- ested in the high school and the high school students a good time. Under the direction of Robert Rosenhaur, attendance officer of the school, a show has been developed by the boys which is full of originality and pep and of such quality that it is bound to give an evenings entertainment second to none. It contains the darky dialect the laugh provoking negro sketches, and the old familiar circle of end men and interlocutor without which no minstrel show would be complete. but in addition to these, several unique musical numbers and stunts have been worked out with excellent sccess and an excellent quartet of high. school boys will give some real darky songs

~shot." Ordinarily types ride on street cars, for the best of them are rarely paid more than fifteen dollars a day. The United States senatorial type can be had in quantities at ten dollars for the days work. But this type was late and feared to lose his job. A bawling manager met him at the door,
 'You-you-" began the manager Then his eye fell upon the chauffeur.
 You're just the type I wantl" he shouted. Come with mel"
 Eventually the chauffeur consented to run his cab back to the garage and walk on in a scene as type of some thing or other. He was not bit fus- tered about it. Ii had been carefully explained to him that he need neither think nor act. The director does all that for the movie people. He tells each when to enter, what to do, how to do it and where In order that the characters should not forget his in s,ructions he repeats them through a megaphone during the progress of a scene.

 We'll, the reader is apt to suspect that there IS something wrong some where But these things, and more, are true. The explanation is that there are 14,O00 moving picture thea tres in the United States. Really, there are about 17,000 according to fairly reliable estimates, but many of these are store shows" which can hardly be classcd as theatres. It Is a conserva- tive estimate to say that the film thea tres will average 700 seats each, and one of the most unexcitablc distrib- utors told me that each theatre will be filled twice day for 325 days in the year.
 Very well, then. Fourteen thousand theatres of 700 seats. filled twice daily for 325 days giyes a total of 6.370,- 100000 paid admissions annually. Every ticket of admission was sold for ten cents. If only ten cents were paid for each seat, the total would be the impressive sum of $o37, 100000
 Such figures explain film prosperity. More people go to see motion-pictures than are interested in any other form of sport or amusement. Think of 1t l Baseball, tennis, golf, catboating, all dwindlc into insignificance when com pared to 6,000,000,000 paid admissions.
 No wonder that ten film theatres are being built for one of the other sort, and that they are usually handsomer and more commodious. Five hundred thousand persons are employed direct ly or indirectly in the motion-picture industry. Fifty thousand work on the Western Coast Tn the production end alone One million dollars is spent weekly in productions. But the totals of today are infantile compared to what the notion-picture men believe will be the sum tomorrow.
 A few years ago the film sought chiefly to register motion. Then 1t responded to the urge for magnifi- cence A gaping public became ac- quainted with huge temples and pre- historic cities of plaster.
 So great was the return from gen. timely successful production when the foreign rentals were included sAat the directors lost all caution. Money was expended in the most reckless fashion. One producer had canals dug near New York for filming a Venetian scene. The idea was an excellent one, and

Smaller sums ara kept in the barn.
 The money is real, too. Or most of ttc money is real. Only the con- ditions seem absurd and romantic. II you can imagine a gigantic Monte Carlo in which all the players are constantly winning, and in which, by some upheavaI of natural law, the house IS winning too, you can get an idea of the motion-picture business as 1t seems to one who looks on from the outside. Perhaps the gambling sirnilc is not good one. Think, then, of farmer whose crops grow pas sionately through sun and frost and rain and dry weather, and are always sold for increasing prices. Think of a perpetual bull market. Think of mines from which you take the raw gold with spoon. Think of buckets full of diamonds-

 AGAINST THE CITIZEN

Promises of a sensation rivalIing the libel suit of Governor Hunt against Colonel Breen and Allan B. Jaynes failed to mature yesterday in the libel suit brought by r. H. Mccullough against the Tucson Citizen and Allan B- Jaynes- The case was non-suited when called for trial and the charges were dismissed by Judge R. C. Stan ford in the superior court. Governor Hunt was one of the witnesses sub peonaed by the defense.
 Mccullough, who was formerly cap tain of the guards at the Clifton road camp, was asking for sl0,000 damages and based his complaint on charges made in an article published in the srrcson Citizen. About 20 witnesses from Arizona and California were here to testify for the defense who was rep
