One of the very best attractions seen in Phoenix this season, regardless of the admission price, is the verdict that the audiences have rendered on "The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" the present of the Brandon Stock company at the Elks theater.

She has a wonderful sense of humor, a well modulated well trained voice and her artistry shows years of experience. Brandon Broth CTS have been the recipients of many congratulations on this latest addition to their splendid stock company. Yet all the praise for the finished perform ance of The Sweetest Girl in Dixie is not showered on Miss Roberts alone for all the players stand out like an au-star cast Marie Rich was never SC charming, she fits the role as if it had been written for her and in her pretty little southern gowns. looks every inch the sweetest girl, not only in Dixie, but anywhere else; George Banta is striking and Eddie Young gets lot of comedy out of the old southern darky James Hughes makes himself so disliked that the audience would like to see him killed. which is a splendid tribute to MT. Hughes fine portrayal of difficult role. L. Victor Gillard Jay Allard and Mary FIadeland are all extra good and the musical numbers quite appropriate and well costumed
 The production is as good as any road show would carry and there is g distinct treat for the patrons of the El1s this week. The same production will run for the entire week with the regular souvenir matinee Wednesday and the bargain matinee Saturday.
 The company is already hard at worl on the big production of Mrs. Wigg: of the Cabbage Patch" which is under lined for production next Sunday.
