Woman IS d lasting tribute to the genius and ere ative ability of Maurice Tourneur, who has taken his place among the master directors of screen offerings-a place that puts him on equal footing with such artists as David Wark. Griffith and Cecil DeMille. Tourneur first won recognition in the directing world as the creator of Sporting Life and later as director of many of Mary Picl1fords and Marguerite Clark $ most successful offerings
 Woman" is a tremendous decor ative composition. undeniably the most artistic production of the year.

VISITORS HERE MAY
 RETURN 'FOR GOOD

Delighted with the showing of pros perity they are finding in Phoenix and expressing wish to make this city their home. Judge and Mrs. w F. Schuermeyer are visiting here from San Diego and staying at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Harry Kay Mrs Schuermeyer is niece of MT. Kay.
 The judge resigned as district at torney of San Diego county, California, to take the office of police magistrate in San Diego city. where he could have a better opportunity for carrying along some humanitarian work that had attracted his attention while in the county office. After nearly two years on the bench he retired about one month ago to resume the practice of law. San Diego does not offer the opportunities that Phoenix does for general practice, and he is studying the city throughly while keeping in con sideration all of the livest cities in the west
 The Schuermeyers are leaving here today or tomorrow to continue their exploration ald search for live places, and their telling their friends here that they probably will come back to stay.
