"oh, You Woman" at Lamara


oh. You Woman" the Cecil &. De
Mile feature comedy, from the com
bined efforts of Anita Loos and John
Emerson is up for its final showings
today.
The feature is keenIy satirical in
nature and brilliant in its execution.
IL takes for its central idea the fact
that in many cases woman has sup
planted the sterner sex in the fulfilling
OF positions handed down through the
ages as belonging distinctiyely TO men.
Ii all comes about through the fact
that soldier returning to his native
town from overseas service finds the
woman of his home village paradinE
around in masculine attire. He finds
women poStmen. women firemen,
women truck drivers, women police
men. and receives the shock of his
life when he enters his own home TO
find his mother in mans toys. He is
thuudeTsIruck when she tells him that
women have no time for the making OF
The much revered pies that mother
used 10 make" Then starts his cam
paien to restore the femininity to
females. and laughs pile over each
other as the clever plot unfolds.
The added attraction is The Kid
and the Cowboy" "A fast>moving west
crn story.
Sunday brings Tom Mix TO the La
mara in The Speed Maniac"

There have been few diplomats in

credit.
To Mr.. Gerard was given the oppor-

Johnny Get Your Gun" made
small sized fortune for John Cort for
its success at the Criterion theater in
New York, where il ran for more than
u year, and when it was sent on tour,
and this included a long stay in Chi
cago, it again beat many other road
attractions with a far greater record
for long metropolitan engagements.
Johnny Get Your Gum has the bene-
fit of popular appeal for its humor is
infectious and wholesome and yet 1t
holds a double love story and a touch
of heart interest. Johnny Get Your
Cum will do much toward adding to
the already brilliant record of the
Del &. Lawrence company.

ChiIdren's Matinee At Strand

The Strand win this afternoon
screen their childrens matinee of Mary
Miles Minter, holding that screen in
the first of the new Realart picture,
Anne of Green Cables This en-
gagement will be brought to O. close
with the final showings of the feature
tonight.
To say that Realart pictures have
made u decided hit with the Strand
audiences is mildly stating a real fact,
for never was there a more suspicious
reception given the premiere of any
program introduced to Phoenix.
Anne of Green Cables is a low
able production, admirably prese nting
the four famous Anne" stories from
the pen of l.. NJ. Montgomery. The
film follows the written story minute
ly. and in the stellar role, Mary Miles
Minter has done what is unquestion-
ably the best work of her career.
In addition to the feature, there will
be screen this afternoon the Century
Animal Comedy-this time featuring
Brownie" the Boston terrier comedian
in Brownies Dog Gone Tricks The
Outing Chester pictures and the Fox
News will also be shown.

City Council and Citizens from Fourth
Ward Talk About Opening J

NOT TO EXTEND LINES
Manager Roberts of the keokuk EIec-

Prohibitive for This
Now. .

! A conference was held in the coun.
! ell rooms this morning between the
members of the city council, City En-
gineer Winters, the Rev. J. e. Cum
mings of West Keokuk Joe Morris,
Mr.. Harmon, J. E. Mitchell, Peter
Kelly, and T. c. Harrison and F. NJ.
Roberts Of the Keokuk Electric COM
pany in regard to the opening of a
pathway or road through J street %
Commercial Alley and additional car
lines.
The Rev. Mr.. Cummings presented
his arguments for the opening of J
street, and said that it was an inn
provement which would help the in
dustries such as the Carbide COM
pany, the Electro Metals company
and the Iowa Can company, in that
it would help the employees by giving
them easy access to the plants. He
also spoke of desired extension of
the street car tracks.
Mr.. Morris and Mr.. Harmon both
said that they thought the people in
West Keokuk would much rather see
the improvement of Reid street, and
the extension of the car line out that
street to K street
II IeUUtIlS, lildudSeI vi llt hSb-
kuk Electric company, summed up the
whole situation when he said that an
extension OF the street car lines at
the present time could not be con-
sidered. He had had the matter up
with the Boston Office and made a
trip to Chicago recently, but was
told that the proposition could not be
accomplished. The costs. he said,
were prohibitive at the present con-
dition of finances in the country. 1t
was not a question of rails alone. 1t
was a question of costs of everything.
| freight rates and labor. In this he
was borne out by the city engineer.
Further discussion was held be-
tween the representatives of the
West Keokuk organizations and some
of the factory men present in regard
to opening up the street.
