will screen, starting Saturday. Ru- pert Hughes original screen story, Dangerous Curve Ahead. made by Goldwyn into what the Rialto man. agement predicts will prove one of the most delightful comedies it has yet offered their patrons
 Dangerous Curve Ahead' is en- tirely different. It is sincere, and thereon perhaps hangs it's wonderful appeal. Humorous, it is genuine hu- nor, not forced comedy.
 It is a comedy of married life, based on the saying that the first five years are the hardest" and as has been the case with all the Rupert Hughes tales, he has injected into the story an atmosphere and environment so perfectly natural that one forgets all sense of the motion picture screen, of the silent actors and actresses 1 thereon, to thrill and laugh and live the story Hughes has so brilliantly constructed.
 Helene Chadwick as the cunning little bride appears in unquestionably her greatest role. Her transition from the carefree little village belle, sought by every young swain in the town, to the wife and mother is one of the most finished screen performances re- corded in years.

 Dangerous Curve Ahead" is beins offered without advance in prices and the management is urging attendanct during the matinee screenings. Spe- cial music will be offered by George J. Hayes at the mighty Wurlitzer.

 For pep" breeziness and sparkling comedy, Our Little Wife," the pres ent offering of the Bainbridge-Karns stock company at the Elks theater. is far ahead of anything seen in re- cent years. It was written by Avery Hopwood and is considered better and funnier than his other great success, Fair and Warmer" "Our Little Wife" is a splendid vehicle for the members of. the Bainbridge- Karns company and quite a diversion from the heavier plays of Turn to the Right" the offering of last week, and "Smilin' Through the big forceful drama that starts Sunday. Only three performances of Our Little Wife" remain, tonight and the mati- nee and night tomorrow.
 Even at this early date everything is in readiness for the first perform ance of "Smilin' Through" which ushers in the third week of the pop ular company, and both the house management and the company man. agement go on record as saying that the production and the performance will be the best seen in stock In Phoenix for many weeks past. and perhaps for many weeks to come. 1 There is great demand for seats for l the opening night and it looks as 1 though "Smilin' Through" will live up to its reputation and establish a new record in Phoenix.

 NEAR EAST RELIEF

During the Peace Conference in Par Is the American Commission to Nego- tiate Peace apprecating the impor- tance of accgrate first hand informa- tion about the Armenian situation, sent Capt. Benjamin Burges Moore of the American Red Cross as head of spe- cial mission to study and report on conditions. Captain Moore's findings as to the value Of the work done by the Near East Relief form part of his off clal report.
 "Armenians are sincerely grateful to us, Captain Moore states, since 1t is no exaggeration to say that they would have disappeared as a nation had it not been for this splendid help given them by the Near East Relief and he American Food Administration The best that sympathetic Americans can do Is to continue and enlarge the pres ent admirable work of the Near East Relief"

Mark l.. Bristol, U. s. Navy, High Commissioner to Turkey. who has charge of all American interests in the Near East, went on record whole-heartedly in support of the American relief organization.
 If I have been able to encour- age the workers of the Near East Relief or give them assistance in any way the Admiral said, Il feel that l am more than repaid In Keeping with the success that has attended the efforts of the Near East Relief Committee in this part of the world in the past hope the future will bring you greater success. It will always give me pleasure 10 render any assistance possible to the Committee as a whole, to any of the workers, and to the great work of humanity that the committee represents"
 When l39,000 Russian refugees from the Crimea arrived off Con stantinople, Admiral Bristol imme- diately cabled the Near East Re lief for help. and the Near East Relief bakeries fed these refugees and N E K workers helped the American sailors to get the sick to hospitals.
 Admiral Bristol Is in intimate touch with all the work being con ducted by the Near East Reliei and speaks from personal knowl edge of it's accomplishments.

WATSON TO THE RESCUE

Thomas F. Watson, the new United States senator from eGorgia, is to in troduce bill in the senate making liberty bonds legal tender. This would put them on a par with the national currency and restore them to at least par value.
 If the government ever hopes to sell another bond in this country in time of emergency it will do well to protect the bondholders now.
 It requires simply an act of congress to make one of these bonds legal ten. der That would require every person to accept them in palment of obliga tions just the same as currency.
 They would possess an added advan- tage over currency in that they would be drawing interest where currency does not.
 They would become a possession of value even to the small investor, where as now they are put a despised and depreciating drug in the market.
 It's clearly up to our Uncle Samuel, so shrewed in many things but so blind in this, for some of these days he may need the wherewithall to again patch his pants.

MccoNNELL'S GAMBLE

W1ILL1AM c. MCCONNELL, Federal Di-
w rector of Prohibition for this State has
gambled on his ability to hold on to his job.
He has been State Senator from the
Twenty seventh District His term would
have expired in December. 1924.
The legality of holding a Federal office
while he was member of the Senate was
questioned, and after some delay he has
resigned from the Senate. TO take effect on
the date when he was appointed to the Fed
Cral office
1t was said in Washington that he was
ineligible under an old order of President
Grant providing that no holder Of a State
office should be appointed to a Federal
office.
But there is more binding prohibition
affecting Mr.. Mcconnell than an order of the
President which can be rCscinded 1t ap-
pears in the Constitution of the State Of
Pennsylvania, which provides that mo per-
son holding any Office under the United
States shall be a member Of either House
during his continuance in office"
Mr.. Mcconnell had to resign one Office
or the other. He has chosen to retire from
the state Senate But no one knows how
long he can hold on to the Federal Job
The conduct of the prohibition enforce
ment officers in Pennsylvania has been Sc
verely criticized by special investigators
sent here from Washington. They have
recommended that the whole force be re-
moved on the ground that 1t Is 80 permeated
with corruptionists that 1t Is impossible to
separate the honest from the dishonest off :
GERS Mr.. Mcconnell apparently thinks that
he can convince the authorities in Washing
ton that he IL in no way responsible for
conditions mere and that he can be trusted
TO clean up the force.
Perhaps he can. Perhaps he can con
vince the men seeking to stop bootleggng
and the complaisant issue of permits to
Wholesale druggists for the sale of liquor
for medicinal purposes that he is able
and willing TO put the screws on the liquor
grafters and drive them into jail or out of
business.
Those who wish 10 see the law enforced
and those who are Interested in the ramif
cations of the liquor interests in this State
will watch the outcome Of Mr.. McCOnncll's :
gamble VITA considerable curiosity.
