Super-comedy at Strand

s'Salome Versus Shenandoah" the latest Mack Sennett comedy, the lead ing attraction at the Strand, where it will be screened for the final show1gs today, is a side splitting farce, pre- scented by a brilliant array of recog- nized comedians, and sumptuously staged. It is a typical Sennett pro- duction, fast, and funny. with no thought of plot further than the de- sire to keep the audience in roars of laughter throughout the showing, and to say that it has struck its mark is but a plain statement of absolute fact
 On the same program there is being shown Tn His Brothers Place" with Hale Hamilton, creator of the original Get Rich Quick -Wallingford" in the leading role. This is a brilliant com edy dama, woven about two brothers, one a successful business man and the other an unsuccessful clergyman. How the business man injected business methods into the church's affairs, and his success in putting it on it's feet forms the meat of the story.
 The PriZma natural color pictures of Japan and the Pathe News finish the program.
 Tomorrow starts the engagement of Douglas Fairbanks in The Knicker- booker Buckaroo. The Strands eS- elusive motion picture of the Coyote Long Beach football game will also receive it's premiere showing tomor- row.

Brandy falls in love with Charlotte Jimmy decides to tame his wife as Petrucio did the Shrew. He kidnaps her and takes her to boathouse- Brandy tries to rescue her, but Char lotte loves Jimnfy and refuses to be rescued Tanned Charlotte and her tanner prepare to lead a less strenu ous life.
 The play is one of the delightfully."- light comedy dramas that has plenty of action and a good plot sustained throughout. making it worth while offering in every sense of the word. And love story that turns out not to be a love story at all furnishes thrills galore and keeps the spectator on the seat of anxiety.
 A Harold Lloyd comedy that is richer in pure, rich fun than anything the versatile Harold has ever hereto fore done, if such a thing is possible, and a Mutt and Jeff cartoon supply plenty of laughter. The Columbia. . piece orchestra is getting better each day and the delightful musical pro grams are especially appealing to patrons of the family theater.

My Four Years In Germany

 The film is a chronological arrange ment of every move of all the factions in that momentous period immedia tely preceding Americas actual entry into the struggle. It is historical educa : ton, and an excellent medium to glean first hand information on some of the most important of all the worlds ques- tions.

Wreck Whole viIlaae In Film

An entire village, especially built for the occasion, was destroyed to pro- duce one of the spectacular scenes in Whom the Gods Would Destroy" the adaptation of harles R. Macauley's famous novel, resented at the Plaza theater for the last time today.
 This action was essential to the pro ducers to obtain the necessary effects in picturing one of the epochs of the subtle background of momentous dramatic occurrences which are pre- sented in illustration of their portent and influence on the destinies of men and women. Through Mir. Macauley's story is woven firm thread of TO- mence, portraying the experieEa>- of a man and maid who endured ar earthly hell of tortures and anguish in their search for love and happiness together.

"Up in MabeI's Roomn

r An innocent chemise, pink in color, nearly wrecks a home and certainly causes a poor defenseless husband 57 varieties of grief when his blushing bride learns that he presented it to another woman in Up in Mabel S Room,'' which comes to the Elks' thea ter on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan uary 13 and IA.
 Up in MabePs Room made New York laugh for two seasons. Boston and Chicago each rocked with mirth fun, just as other big cities have. And Phoenix. too, will laugh. Phoenix will be startled. And Phoenix will gasp with apprehension over some of the startling disclosures on married life that the daring play unfolds.
 Man, always a victim to feminine lure, plays an ingloriouS part in this greatest of American farcical com edies. He is badly beaten in the repar- tee between the sexes that proyokes so many laughs. And the evidence of the infidelity. all purely circumstantial. which is heaped upon him. gives the comedy much of it's sparkling humor and brilliancy.
 A. H. Woods noted New York pro- ducer. made a fortune from Up in antics like it. For two seasons it held the boards at the Eltinge theater in the nations metropolis.
 Seats are now being sold for this offering at the ElkS theater. The ad vance sale has been unusually large and Brandon brothers, managers of the playhouse, have cautioned friends and patrons against waiting too long to make reservations.

6heI heater LONG BEACH H-COYOTE
 GO ID BE SHOWN IN
 MOVIES HERE TODAY

The Strand will tomorrow screen the motion picture of the Coyote-Long Beach football game. The film was made especially for the Strand and should prove of a great deal of local interest despite the disastrous result or the gridiron battle, as far as the Phoenix eleven was concerned.
 In the first place. it marks the first instance of any athletic event in which local boys participated being made into a motion picture film. Little bits of various events have been photogra phed for the various news weeklies but in this instance the entire film is given over exclusively to this game, and it was photographed especially for the opportunity of allowing the Phoenix people to see the high school boys in action. There will be little shots of the vast assembIage of people on hand to witness the contest, for it was a gala day at the beach city-a half holi day being declared, and everybody shutting up shop to attend the game. Closeups of the' various players, inti- mate pictures of the various plays, spectacular runs hard plays, puzzling tactics, all are shown in the film, which promises to prove of equally as much interest to the Phoenix population as the actual game was to the Long Beach representatives.
 The Strand will screen this film in addition to it's regular program; there will be no advance in prices, and the film will be shown at every perform ance, beginning with the matinee to- morrow afternoon. It will be screened until everyone has had an opportunity to witness it.

In ;ae burden which the payment for
