To majority of theatergoers MT Walthalls professional career dates from the enactment of the role or the little coloner' in Griffith's Birth of Nation." The fact is that Walt hall had been a professional player for 14 years prior to his selection for that part by MT. Griffith. A big ma iority also consider his work in the picturization of Thomas Dixon $ "Clansman" as his greatest achieve ment. But no such belief is held by Walthall. He thinks that he has done better work in at least half a dozen other pictures, as he frankly admitted last night.
 A peculiar happenstance in con nection with the filming of The Birth of Nation" was related by MT. Walthall last evening. When he was first approached by MT. Griffith. he said, he argued with the producer as to the part he was to play
 "T wanted to enact the role of the club footed senator, Stoneman," :" Walthall said 'I had previously seen the stage play, The Clansman,' and, in my opinion, the heavy character afforded the greatest opportunity. Griffith finally convinced me that I was best suited for the other part and I accepted his terms.
 NO, the salaries of movie players were nothing to brag about in those days. I worked for [. very moderate sum-a sum that was moderate even then"
 Prior to his engagement with Grif- fifth in the production of the Birth of a Nation,'' Walthall had served under Griffith with the Biograph company. Griffith was then director of the Biograph organization. Born in Alabama, MT. Walthall was well qualified by nature and training to enact Southern roles.
 Mir. Walthall will soon end his first season as head of his owa road com pany. The company is now en route back to Los Angeles, his homo, from where it started on the road Oct Il last. While playing in Pboeni-: he stayed with his brother, John Walt hall, at Scottsdale. Another brother Mai Junius Walthall, also formerly resided at Scottsdale. All three brothers own acreage in the Scotts- dae district
 MT. Walthall is now considering a film engagement on the coast this summer. during the vacation p period Louie Gottschalk is anxious to pro- duce "The Mimic" and has core sponded with him regarding enact ment of the lead role, he said.
 NO, no, I have no intention of de serting the stage for the screen" ht concluded.

URGES ROTAR|ANS ID
 WORK FUR THE BONDS

In order that Phoenix may con tinue to move forward in the race of municipalities, it is necessary that the entire list of bond issues be voted at the election May 27. declared L.. w. Coggins at the Rotary club luncheon yesterday.
 The added cost to the taxes on each individual is so small and the bene- fits to be gained by the voting of the bonds is so great that there should be no opposition to the issue, he said.
 Colonel Coggins reviewed each proposed bond issue and explained the need of each to the city. He urged every member of the Rotary club to get out on election day and work for the success of the bonds.
 Mel Fickas gave service talk on insurance, devoting his time to an explanation of the workmen' S compensation act, it's history and the manner of it's operation in this state.
 G. F. Cooke gave an interesting service talk on meats.
 Jim Griffin was chairman of the meeting.
