Fatty ArbuckIe at Strand

If you have not seen Fatty Ar
 buckle at the Strand in Brewsters s
 Millions this will be the last chance,
 for the picture finishes its engage
 ment tonight. Not in the history of Arbuckle's career on the screen has he had a picture that has given him the chance of this smart stage sue
 cess. The stage version is funny. but it remained for Arbuckle to put in so many bits of unique comedy that it is little short of an innova-
 tion in screencraft. Take the scenes where the book deals with Monty Brewster when he is baby. Ar buckle, by a clever trick of photog-
 raphy, has produced himself as an infant. He does some of the finest work of his career as the baby and the trick by which he is seen with
 the funny Arbuckle face and the baby body is one of the most mod ern tricks of the camera There are so many laughs in the picture that one has hardly time to recover from one until another breaks. With the feature is seen a two reel comedy creation, ''The Dog Doctor" and the Pathe News reel Tomorrow the bill | at the Strand changes and one of the finest heart interest stories of the

The regular Saturday night dance at the Maricopa Country club is just going to be one feature event after another. Those who have heard the new band are very enthusiastic over its music. Many have said that 1t is the best four piece band that has ever been brought to Phoenix. w. J. Smith is a wizard on both the clari- net and saXophone, and you will not miss very many numbers when you come out to the Maricopa Country club. Sunday night we will have 10 spot dances for Browns chocolates. The band has prepared a special pro- gram of entirely new music. The club membership, good for the entire week, is only 50 cents. and you can bring just as many guests as you want to at the regular price of ad- mission, 10 cents each.

"The Third kissD at the Hip

Today sees the final screening at the Hip of Vivian Martin in The Third Kiss" a Paramount picture that was considered when Miss Mar tin came to that program as the best she had made to date. It is a sparkling little story of a girl who had not been used to being kissed and it took several real fervid ap- plications to make her believe the boy who did the kissing was really in earnest. The feature is augment ed by a fine western film, The Show Down." one of the fast moving, dra- matic stories founded on the by gone days of the west when things were in the making out here and when guns and men and laws all got mixed up in the shuffle. Tomor- row there comes to the Hip 'The Land of Jazz" which is said to be the story of how the California moon- light mixed with some keen jazz mu- sic upset a brace of marriages and changed two pair of lovers. It is a good picture and comes from the William Fox studios.
