screen epic, as stimulating and purifying as the snowy air on a mountain peak, is Basil Kings pie tured story. ''The Street Called Straight which completes a three day stay sat the Columbia theater today.
 During its run at the California Theater in Los Angeles, not long since, it was the cause of all manner of discussion because of the newness of it's theme as a photoplay, it's diff eerence in construction and in the direction of the various characters under the guiding hand of Wallace Worsley.
 In The Street Called Straight" Basil King shows the way to happi- ness, but not by means of contorted physical action that takes the char acters through dramatic situations in the accepted dramatic fashion, but what might be termed mental action. The spectator is made to feel the joy and hate, love. truth and tragedy m the lives of those who people the story by a glance or an expression of the features.
 "The Street Called Straight is the second of the eminent authors work s to be produced by Goldwyn, and bears out the promise of the producer to make the best pictures it is hu- manly possible.

Allan Dwan, in offering it as a Realart special has accom- plished a remarkable achievement, for he has gone to the extreme in spectacu- lar production to bring to the silver sheet the spirit of romance that per vaded the Davis story in its written form. And yet, he has not overdone the thing, nor has he sacrificed any of the Davis force. On the contrary he has given the screen version a most charming addition by bringing the cpl sodes in Central America right down to the minute, offering those southern revolution torn republics as they ac- tually are today, with the Davis char acters brought to them for good measure.

His Fathers Wife" At Plaza

His Fathers Wife" the new World feature in which June Elvidge IS starred. supported by sam Hardy comes to the Plaza theater today.
 This is something distinctly new ll the line of picture plays. dealing with a situation which is becoming more frequent every day.

 Soon after Winthrop dies. His son returns just in time to be with nm when death comes.
 This leaves the young widow and the son who is some years her senior together.

 Saturday night is always the Saia night of the week for Phoenix amuse- ment seekers, and although IL reahy is a difficult matter to pick out pan ner nights at the American. Saturday nights are always extremely happy ones at the pretty little Adams street dance palace.
 They are thoroughly aware that the ioys of good music and of meeting thelr friends are never lacking there, In fact. the musicians who make up King Brady's Big Six seem to nave al, Iis iie. exbanstihle supply of harmony and life and they never fail to impart some or it to their hearers.
 There is to be no Saturday afternoon dansant at the American today because of the Cbildren's Mardi Gras ball which is to be given there. but it would De well to give just thought now to the fact that the same delights winch are found at the American during the week are on hand at the Arbor on Sunday afternoon and evening.

MANY APPLICATIONS ARE RE-
CElvED BY COUNTY AUDI
TOR ENDERLEY.
REQUESTS COME FROM
ALL PARTS OF NATION
Many Received From California,
Some From Washington, .. c., But
Majority Are From Male and Fe-
male Students at Colleges and
Schools.

Applications for absent voters bal
lots are being made to the county
auditor in larger ndmber than In
former years, indicating heavier
vote. The inference is that practical
~ all voters absent from the city are
interested to the extent of calling for
the absent voters ballots and will
vote at the November election.
Almost every mail brings from one
to dozen applications and the APP
plicants sent requests from all parts
Of the United States. Many applica-
lions have come from California and
several from Washington. d. c. The
greater number. however. are from
male and female students in colleges
and schools. OF these the majority.
thus far, are from Iowa State Col
lege. Ames, with the State University
of Iowa second.
The necessary blanks are being
sent to the applicants to permit of
sufficient time for returns.
Husbands and Wives. Disagree.
When the county board of super
visors named members OF the cleo
ton boards. selecting largely from
lists submitted by county chairmcn
and suffrage leaders, they reckoned
not with the will OF the woman.
The supervisors, perhaps. were
ignorant OF the political completely
OF families, but the county chairmen
and suffrage pilots might have made
more careful inquiry as to some OF
the women voters suggested.
It was assumed, In some cases that
the husband. being democrat. the
Wife would be OF the same political
faith The women voters. however,
are showing complete independence
and two or three named as democra-
tic members of boards have notified
the county auditors they can not
serve unless listed as republican
voters. In one or two cases the pro-
tests were surprising as the hus-
bands have been prominent in DEM
ocratio circles.
Attic no women selected as repub-
lican members of election boards
have refused to serve because of af-
flliation with the other party, it Is
possible that some republican hus-
bands have democratic wives. As 1t
is not possible In all cases to retain
the selected officer on the board as
representative Of a different party.
some of those named and refusing to
serve must be dropped from the list.
Sample Ballot Soon Ready.
The sample ballots soon will b.
ready for the aid Of the new voters
The ballot will present the tickets
Of the republican, democratic, social
list, prohibition. union farmer and in
dependent parties. Only two count,
tickets will be presented to tho
voters, the republican and demo-
cratic. The socialist candidates at
the primaries did not receive a suffi-
cient number of votes to qualify and
the prohibition party placed ticket
in the field.
