6he[ heater ROBIN HOOD' COMING TO HE ELKS SUNDAY

"All the world loves a lover; all the world loves the big outdoors, and l fear all the world also loves an out law" says Miss Elsa Thiede, the Maid Marian of Ralph Dunbar's Robin Hood" which comes to the Elks the ater December 19 and 20, with Q mati- rec the opening day. "So perhaps 1t is no wonder the big theater- going public goes on year after year loving ing to let any of the newer compost tions usurp it's place in their affec tions. For, while most of them have lovers, and some have the out-of- doors, and one Or two an outlaw none has the triple appeal of all three, and none has the wonderful De Koven mu- sic that makes new friends each year.
 q admit that 1 am a Robin Hood enthusiast, and my enthusiasm is based on the supreme test for the sing CT of any role. I've often been asked, Doesn't an actress become horribly, terribly tired of a single part night after night-don't you sometimes wish to fly to some place where no such play, and no such songs exist?' I'll confess that this is true with the usual opera. but not with such a part as l Maid Marian. In it I am simply an 1 intensified reflection of the opinion ot 1 all the allwise public. The more times l play and sing the role, the more I love it.
 'Tn tell you something else that is unfuue We all know that stage scen- cry is merely canvas and paint, that OUT Sherwood forest is just a flat back drop and that the sunlight and shad- ows of MT Dunbars lovely settings are made by very prosaic and very ugly calcium lights high up in the wings of the stage. I am constantly seeing all this mechanism which tho stage proscenium hides from you, anc in most pieces the actor never lose: consciousness of st. But such ha:

DON'T ouIr JoR oN MONDAY

Do not hand in your resignation on Monday. If you must resign take some other day in the week. That Is the day of all days when you want to quit the job Resist the temptation, Monday Is no sort of a day to resign, according to SS. Louis R. Welzmiller, physical di- rector of the West Side Young Mems Christian association, who says that of all days in the week, it is the day of depression.
 Blue Monday is no joke-for thou sands of people it actually is blue. ac- cording to the doctor.
 Monday is blue" said the doctor, because with one class of folks Sun day is day of great exaltation and the next day they are down in the valley.
 With another class 1t is a case of overeat and underexercise, which brings a depression when Monday comes, and they have to take up the regular tasks. New York Telegraph

Grand opera christmas offerina

When the San Carlo Grand Opera company comes to the Ellls theater next week this city will have an oppor- tunity to see the greatest touring opera organization in America. It is admit ted to be second only to the Metro politan and Chicago Grand Opera com panies- two permanent organizations which no company that goes on tour can hope to rival.
 When it is shown that to present a repertoire of operas it is necessary for the San Carlo company to travel by special train, the first fundamental diff fictulty which such trope faces, is en- countered. The San Carlo company has a repertoire of nearly a score of grand operas. It employees over a hun dred persons. If all of it's scenery could, by a magician's wand, be con verted into habitable houses, it would blosson into tn imposing city of stu pendous architecture. Castles in Spain, In Scotland, in Italy, French chateaus, bull rings, Venetian palaces on the Grand Canal with gondolas threading the waterways; cathedrais and jails- all the edifices n which human affairs and passions transpire are compressed into the confines of the baggage cars which carry the canvas walls and painted drops.
 But the properties and effects are the most tractable of the clements
 which go to make grand opera. Of the
 most intractable it may be impolite to
 speak; but long before the bolsheviki got a reputation, the ways of tenors and prima donnas were common knowl- edge. And in addition who that lifts
 hammer or rosins a fiddle bow has not heard that ''in union there is strength" Even the ladies of the en- semble," who lift their girlish voices in song and their toes in terpsichorear evolutions, yea, even, they have welded themselves into one of the staunches unions in the world. and theirs is {
 world wide union, for it is an interna.

American

It seems evident that dance lovers of Phoenix who have learned to know good music will always be ardent en- thusiasts of the music of the American band, judging by the way the musi- clans have been followed for the past two week ends 9t Toft's Country club. The big crowds that have packed the spacious ballroom each Saturday and Sunday evening make it clear that dancers of Phoenix know the best dance is where the best music is played.
 Tonight the American band will once more be at the American and the swing will revert back to the Phoenix danc- ing palace, bringht spot of the city
 All the details for the comfort Of G9e many patrons of the American have been taken care of and it is always possible to have the best of table serv- ice. And if you have not perfected your dance step to your own satisfac ton the special Christmas offer Of dancing lessons is, still open.

prominent farmers and land owners, a warm advocate of good roads and the bond issue. This land owner re- lated:
 Some years ago I located in the Salt River Valley, and 1 have bene- fitted in so doing. At the same time a friend of mine settled in Orange county, California. In covering 6O,oO0 miles on my travels over the dirt roads of Maricopa county I have worn out two automobiles. l am at present wearing out my third machine on the same roads.
 But my California friend, who bought his machine at the same time that I bought my first car. has travelled 10000 miles over the PAVED HIGH WAYS of California, and he tells me his car is still serviceable It is of the same make as my cars, and therefore the only explanation is offered by the incontestable superiority of the paved
 A Fair Question
 Here's a fair question to the busi- ness men:
 "How much business do you
 transact with your country GUS
 toners when it rains? Do you
 think that paved roads will make
 communication with these cus-
 toners harder? Do you fear that
 your delivery vans will use more
 gas on paved roads? Do you be-
 lieve that paved roads will wear
 out your tires sooner than dirt
 roads decorated with holes? Do
 you fear that $20 taxation bn a
 $10,000 valuation year is going to
 send you to the poorhouse, the
 savings and benefits of the paved
 roads notwithstanding?
 And a question to the land owner! Do you wish to increase the value oi your land? What do you think is more likely to raise your land in worth-a paved road on which you "scoot" city, wards and on which the city scoots tC you Sin no time," or a dusty dirt road. with a generous supply of chuck holes, that becomes a bog and quag- mire whenever it rains? And do you think that $20 a year Is too much when it comes to doubling the value of your land as has happened in Cali. forllia? Rather a good Investment don't you think?
 And what do you think is the reason i that automobiles filled with tourists bound for southern California. hav' formed the habit of rushing through Phoenix towards the coast, to settle down in the latter region, and bu. | land ana Dulld homes tHefe' Anu ho here?
 Prepare Now for Future
 Don't you think if we had goo' roads in Maricopa county that thes wealthy tourists might be induced t stay here awhile, to see rthe Roose I welt dam and the Apache Trail, t enjoy this unsurpassed winter climate and subsequently to build homes an invest money here, and advertise you city and county to the world, just a I has happened in California?
 There may be passing disappoint ment about crops not sold as profit ably as might have been expected But is that the time to sit by tn waters of Babylon" and voice val regrets? Is it not rather the time t be up and doing" and to build wit foresight and resolution the roads ths lead to greater prosperity and prog ress?
 To each and every one of thes questions, the progressive taxpayer of Maricopa county will furnish th only common sense reply on Decembe 31 when they will vote ''Yes" for tn } good roads bonds, with a triumphar nnaiorityi

the British soap magnate, found that the African natives on his huge Congo cocoanut plantations would not work hard because the minimum of exertion gained them enough money to satisfy their needs, he put up movies in the cocoanut areas. The natives were so eager to see the pictures" that they went to work in order to earn money enough to pay for their tickets. The result was that the greater part of their earnings returned to the source from which it came, through the me- dium of the movies. That is what is known as thrift-in England.

young people on the farms involve the transplanting of city attractions to the country-movies, sports, social gather ings, educational facilities. When it comes to sanitation, some of our worst slums today are in the country dis tricts; and when it comes to the old fashioned virtues, one must remember that the city takes most of it's dissi- pations publicly, while those of the rural districts are often concealed James H.

Miss Hall is an especially good type for the character of the flirtatious Helen, an attractive girl whose twinkling eyes and captivating smile convert the students of a college into so many slaves When Lillian Hall was a child she was termed Mighty by her family. Consequently, she was ordered to take a business course in school in the hope that the work would make her sensible. But she refuse1 to have her future thus engineered so, upon finishing at school, she pleased herself by entering stock at the Knickerbocker Theater in Philade.- phial Miss Hall has had very suc-

The Hip

Tom Mix continues as the Hips at traction for today and tomorrow. His vehicle for this engagement is Three Gold Coins, William Fox feature in which the inimitable Mix again IS cast for his familiar western portrayal. The Three Gold Coins is an excep- tional offering insofar as Mix Is con cerned, for the stunts he offers in this picture are different from anything with which he has delighted his millions Of admirers so far. Te theme is very interesting adventure story, inter woven with a most appealing TO- nance Of course Mix is up for many hairraising stunts, and he more than makes good his title of being the greatest daredevil in motion pictures. Hard riding, gun play, fist fights. in trigue, suspense, escapes, and much cowboy action marks the picture as one of the fastest Mix has yet made.

Goldwyn's super special Earth bound" the most widely discussed photoplay of the day, is the present attraction at the Strand. where ca pacity houses are voting 1t the most remarkable picture to ever visit Phoenix.
 It's powerful story logically un- folded, and told amid surroundings that inspire with their grandeur and force, is a resume of life after death. Basil King, the author, has &C., complished a remarkable achievement in "Earthbound." and T. Hayes Hun ter, the director, has given the silent drama production that will never be forgotten. Every member of the cast is to be congratulated on the exce1- lent delineations brought to their re- spective roles
 "Earthbound" is the biggest sensa- tion in years fin pictures, and the Strand is exnocting crowds at every screening. The management is urg- ing strict adherence to the screen times. in order that the picture may be enjoyed in the manner suggested by Basil King.
