For the first time in months, Doro- thy Gish, the bombast little comedl- enpe of screendom, is again in Phoenix 10 delight her host of friends, and will Strand screen for a two days stay only, offering her latest Paramount hit -"Tuinrng the Tables
 To those who remember her Bat ting Jane" sHThe Hope Chest" T oots,' { and Polly Polly" it will mean a world of fun to mention that Turning the Tables is just as good as any of the former releases, and by many critics considered better of fering. To those who were not fortu- nate enough to have witnessed her former triumphs. suffice it to say that the quicker they get acquainted with Dorothy Gish, the sooner they will learn what winsome little lass she really is and what a volcano of mirth she turns loose with her every ap- pearance on the screen.
 Turning the Tables concerns a poor little ricsh girl" She is an heiress who lives with her aunt, un- happily, to be sure, but habit persisted in becomes second nature, tis said, and this is about the only way one can account for her continuing to dwell under the same roof with the scheminG old woman whose cupidity has long since been aroused and whose every move looks toward gaining pos session of the fortune of the girl whose mirth cannot be downed ana whose spirit of youth refuses to be killed even by a tyrannical old aunt The upshot of the entire matter is that Doris Dorothy Gish) is sent to an i'm sane asylum. having been adjudged mentally unbalanced, and it is in the .'bug house" that all the fun takes place culminating in a very pretty TO- nance. in which the battle of cupid pitted against the combined efforts of a gang of swindlers makes fun by the barrel for the audience.

CRAY VOLTS GHOST.'
 STORY OF EARLY WEST
 BEGINS AT HIP TODAY

H. B. Warner will hold the Hip screen for a two-day stay. beginning today, when he will offer The Gray Wolf's Ghost
 This story of the early west is based on the belief prevalent among the early Spanish and Indian settlers that if one of their daughters married one of another blood, then i'll fortune would be visited upon the house, and the sign would be a coyote whining at the door of the looge-
 Despite the fact that at the opening of the story the railroad engineers were already forcing the path of ad- vancement through the west. the be- lief was still the guiding star of the amazed natives, who were wont to at tribute the coming of the railroad to the marriage of one of the daug hters of one of the most respected land owners of the country to an Ameri- can. It happened that young American, in search of his father. who had years before deserted his mother and taken with him what little money she had saved up, was visiting the country. He meets and falls in love with the youngest daughter of the family to whose door had been Id already all the i'll luck of the neigh borhood, and again public sentiment is fired not only against the family, but against the young American who, un- knowingly, had in measure aided the fires of hate through his activities in railroad promotion and friendliness towards those who sought the fran chises for rights of way. The love story is builded steadily until it vies in i'm portance with the eScapades of the young American who battles on for his life and liberty Many stirring scenes are necessary for the carrying out of the story. which will be received as one of inc a of of the. week
 On the same program will be of fered another of the Christie come dies.
