BELOW TIE SURFACE /, UNDER WATER DRAMA. STRAND ATTRACTION

Starting his engagement at the Strand today in Below the Surface" :" Hobart Bosworth returns to the city in a production which critics and re- viewers have reported the most as- founding under water picture ever made. Replete with action and scenes that represent the last word in unusual photography and situations. Below the Surface" presents Bosworth in the role of a deep sea diver.
 The drama is a very strong, yet a very appealing one, and depicts the lives of sturdy old New Englander who, with his son, is noted for his div ing skill. On one occasion a U. $. submarine is disabled while submerged and it is Martin Flint (Hobart Bos- worth) who makes the record dive, a feat which has cost the lives of those who had already attempted it, reach ing the sub" in time to rescue the crew and bring them to safety. The news of the rescue reaches the ears of a gang of crooks who decided on the novel scheme of enlisting the old diver in their circle, their object being to lrave him dive for the treasures of sSnken vessels and recover them. Fail irHg to interest the soic old diver, they turned their attention to his son, en- listing the services of a beautiful woman who has infatuated the boy and gained his consent. Her promise to marry him is his reward for rislzing his life. and when she deliberately leaves him, he is prostrated with grief. 1t is his father who takes mat ters in his hands and follows the gang to New York. Returning, the midnight boat is the victim in a collision witt another craft. In the panic which fol lows, Martin Flint discovered the wife of his son in the stateroom of one oi the crooks who had followed them or the same boat. The boat sinks, carry

THE MAN FROM HOME , WEEKS OFFERING BY BRANDON STOCK CO.

The great American comedy, The Man from Home,"' by Booth Parking ton and Harry Leon Wilson, is the bill at the Elks theater for the week start ing with the matinee today at 2:30. This great play by two of Americas foremost authors is the mG~ ambiti- ous thing attempted by the Brandon Stock company during it's engagement and should be a welcome treat to the theatergoer who likes a sound and sub stantial drama occasionally to act as a balance for the lighter vehicles that dominate the ordinary musical show.
 The Man from Home" is one of the gems of the American stage. It has story of deep appealing interest with telling punch in every act and com edy so rich and subtle that only a Tarkington or Wilson could write it. The part of Daniel Vorhees Pike, the loosier lawyer, made famous by Will ann Hodge, is one of the most lovable laracters in fiction. This role will handled by Ray F. Brandon, who is 0turning for the stage for the week. 4r. Brandon is very familiar with the 'rt having played it scores of times Hhen he was on the stage before com 'g to Phoenix. He is the ideal type
 
 impression with his local friends.
 The part of the grand duke will be handled by Ed Redmond. George Banta "II play lvon, Jay Allard, Almeric and all the rest of the favorites will be .1 good parts. And don't think for a minute that the musical end of the show has been overlooked. The mu- sieal numbers are catchy, tuneful and imely. They will be placed in an olio Q as not to mar or break in upon the eread of the story. The chorus num- 1ors in 'The Man from Home" are particularly pleasing and the costum T most elaborate and tasty.
 some of the big melody numbers 10 introduced this week are Sweet
 ttotie Sall' Blues for My Old Ken u,.ly Home" "Oh Angelo" When
 scilia Tries to Reach High C." and
 several others. Another announcements
