pany's representatives were strong in
their argument that it was not neces-
sary to increase the wage schedule to
keep men at work on the lines.
Old Maps Show Air Castles.
The air castles which the company
has been building over the proposed
extension of the lines in Kenosha were
IN evidence at the hearing and there
was an entirely new set of maps show
ing extensions which have been pro-
posed at former hearings of the com
mission. The company had made few
changes in the proposed extensions
and the lines made were practically
the same as in former months. Thev
provided extensions west on Salem
avenue, north and south on Rowland
avenue with connecting links for the
INES on the west portions of the citv.
They also provided for the installation
OF the sidetracks and double tracks
which have recently been put in bv
the company to improve the routing Of
the cars. The company referred tn
these sldetracks and switches as a
start Of carving out the extension
plan for Kenosha.
Business Shows Deficit.
The company as at former hearings
submitted to Commissioner jackson
, long reports of engineers showing sta
tistics of the operation of the lines
| and these indicated that during the
first six months of this year the com
pany had small deficit 1t was de-
clared that with the closing up of the
Main street bridge the deficit had been
constantly increasing during the last
six months of the year. It was en-
couraging to see that the deficit claim
ed in the present reports was not near
ly as large as had been claimed in re-
ports in the former year and it was
evident that the six-cent fare and a
considerable increase in business had
made the business much more satisfac-
tory to the men behind it
1t is not anticipated that the com
pany will make any effort to place
other men in the places of the men
now employed as trainmen. In fact it
is expected that the men will be kent
at the increased rate and that sooner
or later the commission will hand down
q decision granting a fare increase.
The hope of the city officials is that
the new order of the commission will
contain punch enough to enforce the
extensions which the company has re-
peatedly suggested

Ramona

The cattle country, the romance of the Rio Grande, the picturesqueness Of the days when the plains were thick with walking millions hats the spirit of 'Lasca," one of the most famous poems ever written around the early west.
 'Lasca" has been adapted for the motion picture screen, and is the Ra- mona's attraction for the final times today.
 Frank Mayo, surrounded by an ex- ceptionaI cast, is the featured player. The spirit of the famous classic has been thoroughly maintained in the pie turized version, and many stirring scenes are the result. Action runs ram pant, interwoven by the famous TO- nance of the early days, and "Lasca'' is proving a treat with the Ramona s clientele. Among the outstanding g scenes might be mentioned the stam- pede of the herd of maddened cattle, the outbursts of jealousy by 'Lasca,' ,'' the vast stretches of ~olling plains. In fact, every element of the production bespeaks careful direction and thor ough understanding of the subject in hand.

Of course, an evening isn't complete any more, even though preceded by a movie, unless one drops into the Amer ican for at least a few dances. That is, one may expect to dance only few dances, but they are very apt to in- crease greatly in number under the 5azzy lure of Gene Dabney and his Vernon six
 And because Phoenix joy lovers are keen to appreciate real music, endless interest has been expressed concerning the artistry of Gene Dabney. Not only is he capable of performing musical wonders on the saxophone and clarinet, but he is a composer of many popular airs of no little fame.
 One who is familiar with the prom inent Los Angeles beach cafes can readily understand Dabney's local pop ularity when they know that with his Vernon Six he radiated similar kid glove jazz at the Blue Bird, Vernon Country club and the Jewel City cafe at Seal Beach.

 AT TIE ELKS TONIGHT

The great musical revue. George
 Whites Scandals of 1919." which has come to the fore in the largest cities of the country with a record for ca paclty attendance, will open at the Elks theater tonight. Heralded as one of the most spectacular entertain ments of the season, ''The Scandals Is generously supplied with snappy comedy, tuneful music, lively dancing and big cast that slips on and off the stage and keeps things moving at a break-neck speed. Prohibition mod ern hotels, Long Island murder trials, the "shimmy,'' as we'll as the H. c. L. and other timely topics all come in for their share of satirizing, while a chorus of lovely ''scandalmongers' contribute catchy songs that. are war ranted to pass any fair board of censors.
 The chief assets of the show are youth that is saucy, joyful and active and an abundance of pep and zip. There is hardly principal that is over draft age and this applies also to the ladies of the chorus, which breaks rule 43 Of the union by refusing to divulge wrinkle The catch-me-i if-you can spirit is expressed first in George White, the originator of the Scandals of 1919," who has assembled an array Of material that is universal in it's appeal, the book and lyrics being writ ten by Arthur Jackson and White him. self As a close second comes the mu- sic written by Richard Whiting, Her bert Spencer and Al Gumble, and hold ing third place. yet simultaneously eclipsing all these is the scenery de- signed by the Law studios under the direction of Herbert Ward. In the large cast are Grace Cameron, Jack Edwards, Duke Rogers, Helen Wilson, the White Way Trio, Blanche Boone, Fred Cady, Irene Gray, Victor Carne, Elizabeth Hopkins, Edward Bisland, Wally Sharpless, James Buckley, Irene Watson, Billie Brandon, Dollie Gold, Sylvia Dayton, Helen Kay, Lillian Fletcher and Aneta Hoffman.

The in evitable happens and he falls deeply in love with the earl's wife, who all ready loves him, believing that he is the earl. The denouement is splendid, and just exactly as it should be.

Strand

Wallace Reid, appearing in his Para mount Aircraft riot, ''The Dancin' Fool" ends his engagement at the Strand with the final showings today. In this picture Reid has an entirely different role from any he has yet offered his millions of admirers, while at the same time taking decided ad- vantage of the ever present oppor- tunity to score heavily in a very con- genial interpretation.
 The story revolves around a young country boy whose blood is filled with the fire of the dance. On arriving at the city where his uncle is engaged in business, the boy has high hopes of becoming a power in the commercial marts. But the lure of the dance catches him in it's grip, and he fre- quents the cabarets. It is there that he meets Junie Budd. a cabaret dancer, whom he interests with his ability in the dance. An agreement is struck whereby these two become dancing partners, and then uncle and his busi- ness seem to interfere. But the boy has dispelled the old theory of 'business and pleasure and combines them both to the distinct betterment of each one.
