a3 from Greenland to
Labrador and down the, coast Of
Maine. The next probable voyage to
this coast was by John Cabot in 1897
and later. by his son Sebastian. 1t
was. however, Capt. John Smith. the
leading spirit Of the settlement at
jamestown. who sailed as far north az
the PenObscot and first drew a rough
chart of It.
In the grant by James to the Ply
mouth Colony Maine was included in
their territory. Opposition to the Ply
mouth Colony arose among the kings
courtiers and Sir Ferdinando Gorges
and Captain Mason succeeded In OBJ
tanning for themselves rights to the
country between the Merrimac and
Kennebec rivers. This they divided,
Gorges taking the northern section.
Meanwhile Gorges had sent over "a
small colony to the mouth Of the Ken
nebec. but this settlement was soon
abandoned. The first permanent set
Element was made In 1925 at what is.
now York. Massachusetts objected to.
Gorges' claim and finally annexed all
the territory up to Casco Bay and
called this northern section, the Dis
trict Of Maine. Maine was dissatisfied
with the rule of the mother state and
by 1920 succeeded In being admitted
to the Union as the twenty-third state.
Maine was the first state to adopt
prohibition. In the beginning Maine
was strongly Democratic. It. was
largely for this reason that she OBJ
jected to being ruled by Massachusetts
which was Federalist. Since 1856.
however, Maine has been decidedly
Republican,. It has six electoral votes
for President.
The name Maine was so designated
In the charter Of 1888 in which Charles
I granted this land to Gorges. 1t had
already been commonly used by the
sailors as distinguishing the mainland
from the many islands along the Shore.
The nickname for the state is the Pine
Tree State. It's urea is 5000 square
miles, which is practically as large rs
the combined area Of the other 1--WE
New England States.

 AND PICTURES AT
 THE RAMONA TODAY

Yes, Miller and Gordon are going up to the Yukon in their Sunday musi- cal offering at the Ramona. The two dutch" comedians in rubber boots and flrs will pull their comedy wheezes in &reproduction of Alaska But that wont bother the girls, for. they look just as well in fur lined. tights as they do in any other kind and they are so shapley that what few clothes they affect don't make much difference any way.
 If you have not taken on the Ramona habit this will be a good time for you to pay the initial visit, for the big double show there is bound to be the talk of Phoenix. Last week the musi- cal comedy tribe set the whole town gossiping with their splendid little of fering and they seem to think that this week they will do even better and have lot of new patrons in the comfy little combination house.

DYNAMITE ALLEN W|THGEORGE WALSH
 AT THE HIP TODAY

George Walsh is at the Hip start ing Sunday morning in Dynamite Allen" smashing picture of the type that Walsh alone knows how to make. In the part of Dynamite Allen Walsh is seen a young son of a man who has been sent to prison for life on thread of testimony given by a girl, and the son believing in tie innocence of his father gains the sobriquet of "Dyna- mfte'' because of his vigorous hunt for the real murderer of the mine owner for whom his father worked.
 Tn the still hunt which he makes he is tangled up with the crooked nephew of the widow of the murdered man. learns that the nephew is one of the worst kind of crooks. How he circum- vents the plots this ungrateful boy matches is best told in the smart pic lures which bear the name of the principal character.
 ~Dynamite'' has no baby's job land ing the real murderer of the man his father is serving time for, and if you think you have seen Walsh step in some of his former pictures go down to the Hip and catch him in this one. He will give you a healthy run for your money for he fights his way to success through maze of plots and counter plots vanquishing the crooks by brains when possible, and by his sturdy fists when he fails to accom- Rl1su HIS cioS pS<1CcLuiiy-
 Dynamite Allen is corking good picture and one that has an appeal for every member of the family. The boy will get a real kick out of the fighting Walsh, as Allen, while sister will grow sentimental over the love affair of this dashing avenger, mother win wish she had a boy who could love and fight like Dynamite, while pop will swell up and tell how he used to 20 some himself when he was the age of Walsh
 Mutt and Jeff complete the bill with their latest comedy offering, Sherlock Hawkshaw, the fool detective. If you think Mutt is not some sleuth drop in and see him do a bit of detecting. Mutt can be counted on to find liyn- berger cheese if the room is not too large and the lights don't go out. This bill obtains for Monday and Tuesday as well and is real offering for the Hip.

NEW S|X-P|ECE BAND
 IS AT THE AMERICAN

Always something new and better at the American. This time it is to be an entirely new band which will arrive at the American Monday afternoon all set for the opening for Monday nights dance.
 The American management has been on the coast for the past few days looking them all over carefully with the one intention of bringing the best that the coast afforded back to the Amer ican. There was one big band of six pieces in Los Angeles that the whole city boasted more about than any other and of course that was the one elected for the American patrons. The Amer ican always has followed the policy that only the best the country afforded was good enough for the patrons of the American.
 Six pieces playing all the snappy musical novelties of the season and all the latest hits as they appear. No more four-year-old favorites or nightly reviews will be heard at the American for this band has built it's reputation on the fact that it plays music as it should be played and only the latest to lead the whole country now with new music for everything is grabbed by this aggregation hot off the press.
 Be at the American Monday night to help the favorites of Los Angeles think that Los was los long ago and that Phoenix is the livest and happiest spot on the face of the map. This band in a week will be sorry that they ever hung onto Los as long as they did. Call 1947 and make reservations for Monday night.

POLLY WITH PAST AT ELKS THEATER
 WITH WILMA STICK

Today at 2:30 p. m. marks the open ing of Polly with a Past at the Elks theater for a run of one week pre- scented by Del S. Lawrence and asso- ciate players with charming and pop ular Wilma Steck in the title role of Polly" Polly with Past" is one of the best comedies of the present day; it is neat. clean, high class and thoroughly modern sparkling with wit, and sarcasm and with an ingenious plot fully as interesting as it is unique. It was written by the coauthors, George Middleton and Guy Bolton, and was for more than a year the reigning Broadway success at the Belasco theater in New York.
 The management could not have chosen a more fitting play in which to bring Miss Steck back to her Phoenix friends and this great modern comedy could not be in better hands for a Phoenix audience. The part fits the personality of the star down to the last detail and all in all it is a happy com bination. Miss Steck counts her friends here by the hundreds and it seems that they are all trying to get into the Elks theater today either this afternoon or tonight
 particularly pleasing feature of the part of Polly and one that ap- peals especially to the women is that

VIM. $. HART IN THE TESTING BLOCK |S
 AT STRAND TODAY

If you are a "BilP' Hart fan the Testing Block" will send you out of the theater a bigger booster than ever. If you have never cared for the west ern hero, it will make you a fan of his, for it is the best picture he has ever made since he came from the spoken drama to the silver sheet.
 It is a wonderful love story of day that will never again be equalled in the gold rush to California when men went wild with the fever of hopes of finding their fortunes in yellow metal in the new Eldorado. it is replete with love, adventure. daring exploits, and is set in a Tiffany of the woods
 Mid the giant redwoods of the Sierras. band of outlaws find a trav- cling troupe of minstrels. The little company is playing its way from camp to camp and the chief attraction of the band is the winsome pretty slip of a girl who plays such soulful music on her violin that the band of cutthroats set in silence until she has finished and then comes lust in their hearts as they speculate on who shall have her as his prize.
 It's a battle that will not soon be forgotten, the fight between these mad rum inspired road agents, and when the end comes and the intrepid leader Of the bunch vanquiSheS his men, a miracle takes place. For love has come to the hard man of the woods and instead of desecrating the purity and honor of the girl musician he takes her in due time to wife and then
 Such story would do credit to a Bret Harte. This iron man softens under the hand of his dainty wife until their baby comes when he knows no happiness like that which falls to his lot. But his path is not all roses for she is stolen away from him and his resolve to stay right receives a severe shock, when she leaves him and takes the precious babe with her But his regeneration is too complete to succumb to the shock and he fights out

the mightiest battle of his eventful career and wins her back.
 It's all so big, so fresh, so different from the common or garden variety of pictures that it stands as the critics of all the big cities have pronounced it. the master effort of "Bill' Hart since his very beginning. It is so clean, SO sweet, so redolent of the Rcdwoods that it marks for pictures a new thought.
 You'll sure like "The Testing Block because it belongs in every way. With the feature is seen the comedy Hold Me Tight" a Fox Sunshine, and that is endorsement enough. The Pathe News unrivalled anywhere and unequalled on the screen adds to the offering.
