ADJUSTMENTS
BUT 5 MORE TIMES IF POLLYAVIIA, HE
 CLAD PLAY, AT ELkS

''Polyanna.'' the glad play, the play with love and healing in its wings, the play which has made so great a change in the lives of many, is soon to make its final bow in Phoenix. There are few perhaps who have not seen this famous play or read the book, but many come again and again finding always something new in it's lines. The critic of this paper stated that MT. Bainbridge was "al- most ideal'' in the part of Pendleton and that the entire production was up to road standard. Certainly no higher praise could be accorded any artist than was given Miss Seville in her charming interpretation. Cleora Orden, the ingenue of the company, has another Irish comedy part of the type that has endeared her to Phoe- nix audiences, she is a laugh a sec- ond while cavorting about the stage. Then there is dear old Hughie Met calf, who doesn't look a day over 40 when you meet him on the street but who blandly inform you that he is 65. He has wonderful part and plays it ideally. By the way Metcalf walks 20 miles each and every day sleeps only five hours a day-learns his part easier than any member of the company and says he can whip any man of twice his age. Who said Os1er?
 Saturday afternoon the very popu- lar children's half price matinee will again be the feature and as every child that lives wants to see this glad play, packed house may confidently be looked for.
 Next week, commencing Sunday afternoon. Pals First" is the offer ing. William Courtenay made tl1's play famous during it's long run in New York city. It is play of much the same tyne as Turn to the Right" and has never been done here before, in fact, never has any company pre- sented week after week plays of this character in Phoenix.
 Phoenix is indeed proud of this clever company at the Elks and everyone hopes to see them remain throughout the season.
 Frisco's Underground Chin atown
 A picture of unusual merit is being offered today and tomorrow at Mauks Columbia theater. Gouver- neur Morris has given to the screen his first scenario and it is one of the best things he has done. A pie ture of San Francisco's underground Chinatown, it excells by far any thing in this line that has been shown here for some time. The story concerns the great love that an American holds for a white girl who has been raised as a Chinese, by an old Chinese servant who rescued her when she was baby from the rebels in the Boxer uprising and brought her to America. Newcombe, the American, finds her here in a Chi nese den and falls madly in love with her. The way in which he rescues her from the clutches of Tong lead CT who is seeking her. and finally battles his way to her is graphically portrayed. The big scene of the pie ture comes when Newcombe and his Chinese friend "the Worm cast the Tong leader into a room, the walls of which are so arranged that by the manipulation of levers they can be moved together to crush the occu- pant. The stoic calm in which the villain meets death is typical of the Oriental. As the ceiling descends to crush him he slowly and calmly rolls and smokes cigarette. A Hall Room Boys comedy. "The Beach Nuts" a Ford Educational Weekly and the columbia orchestra complete the bill.
