to operate 1t. in connection with the big gambling picture, Without Linn it" shown for the last times today.
 The wheel used at the Columbia in the display is one that was oper- ated here in the old days when gamN bling was a part of the business life of most western cities. The croupier who shows the Columbia patrons just how the wheel operates is the same who in Tex Richards Goldfield resort, "The Northern" won from Diamond Field" Jack Davis, S19,000 in 20 min utes' time. Every ticket purchaser at the Columbia today is given sev- eral chips with which to try his luck on the wheel. No gambling is per mitted, but the display is carried out as though played for high stakes.
 The picture. Without Limit" is an adaptation of the Saturday Evening Post story Temple Dusk" and is a masterpiece of interest. The scenes are laid in and about the ultra -ex- elusive gambling house "The Yer sailles'' and the atmosphere of the temple of chance permeates the en- tire picture. A gripping story of human frailties and weakness and strength is woven into the story and makes it one of the most fascinating pictures ever shown here.
 Also on the big special today. Don Fiatti renders a program on his won derful chron1atic accordion with which he has won fame on vaudeville circuits for the past 12 years. A Hall Room Boys comedy and a Ford Edu- cational Weekly complete a bill re- plete with interest.

of trio of desperate men. who, not content with trying to ruin her uncle, have turned their attention to her. She is kidnapped by them and held prisoner in an abandoned shack in the hills until rescued by Dale; they are then mercilessly pursued by Snake Anson and his gang of des- peradoes and are forced to take a wild ride through the hills and hide in Dale's hidden valley for months until they can make the attempt to get home. Dale is accompanied by his pal, a cowboy named Las Vegas, and Helen by her sister, Bo. While in the hidden valley Dale falls in love with Helen and wins her for his wife. At the same time Las Vegas falls in love with 80, and an amusing court ship is carried on by him.
 This picture should be especially interesting to all who have visited around Prescott, where the scenes are laid. It is essentially an Arizona picture and was therefore booked by the Columbia management at great expense in order to let Arizonians have a chance to see it.
 A Hall Room Boys comedy and Fofd Educational Weekly are the augmenting features of this feature program.

NEW YORK SUCCESS CAMBRIDGE 'KARNS OFFERING AT ELKS

That cracking new melodrama, At 9: :45,' exactly as procSced at Will jam A. Brady's playhouse, New York city, comes for an engagement of five days at the Elks theater, start ing with a matinee today at 2:30. This is the seventh production of the popular Bainbrjdge- -Karns company, and when the management states that At 9:45" is the most thrilling, most sensational of mystery plays, patrons can feel assured of something really worth while.
 At 9:45," by Owen Davis. is an expressing melo/rama of mystery, marriage and murder and had most successful run in New York. The story differs from any plays having to do with crime in that 1t Is not laid in sordid surroundings. The characters are people you know" and the action moves swiftly from the library of a wealthy New York family to one of the most fashion able restaurants in the metropolis. back again to the library, and then to the bedroom of the same house, where comes the unexpected and thrilling denouement.
 A daring attempt at murder is the foundation upon which MT. Davis has built a series Sf intensely interesting situations and surprising climaxes. Nor is the element of humor neglected.
 From the moment Howard Clay tons all but lifeless body is discov- cred. the play moves apace. Several people might have have shot Howard Clayton, sevyral people had ample reason and the opportunity to shoot him, but it is not @ntil the last mo- ment that the truth is disclosed.
 The play has been given an en- tirely new scenic production from 9he curtain line back, and 1t is as near like the original as it is pos- sible to build. It is a wonderful veh- icle for the clever members of the Bainbridge- company and shows them in a setting entirely diff ferent to anything seen heretofore.

Strand

Today is the day of the kiddies' matinee at the Strand, when every boy and girl presenting the coupon which has been printed in the papers, with three cents, will be admitted to the theater and entitled to any seat in the house to witness King Queen-Joker," the elaborate comedy which stars Syd Chaplin.
 This production is up for the final screenings today at this theater It is doubtful If there has ever been produced a comedy that brings to the screen any more magnificent ap- pointment, any more gorgeous set tings, or any more brilliant costum- ing, nor has there been one in a long time that is so crowded with the laughs as is this hurricane of fun.
 The comedy was actually photo graphed in three countries, and the stunts range all the way from slap stick comedy to daring airplane an tics. The story of the comedy is that of a barber who became king for a single day and of the adventures that l befell him on the lark.
 The added attractions balance out a perfect bill which will give way to the starting tomorrow of Para mounts presentation 10 William de 1 Miles production of What Every Woman Knows" Sir James Barrie $ l immortal stage hit which starred Maud Adams for several seasons.

 FILM IF SEA LIFE

Zane Grey's famous story of life in northern Arizona, "The Man of the Forest" which comes to Mauk' S Columbia theater next Thursday. Friday and Saturday, is familiar to nearly every book-lover in the city.
 In the perturbation of this popular novel, the plot of the book has been followed faithfully and each scene will be instantly recognized by the beholder. Another noticeable feature of the film is the faithful way in which each individual character is portrayed: in fact, the entire cast deserves unstinted praise for the successful way in which they have acted the picture.
 The story is one of love and thrill ing adventure in the modern Arizona of prohibition days and concerns the adventure that befell Milt Dale, the hunter, in his attempts to protect Helen Raynor from the machinations
