them in Jail at Harrisonburg in Gaia
houla Parish.
The day after being placed in Jail
they confessed to Che killing of Dave
Bell. In making the confession of
the killing they stated that Bell had
threatened to kill them, would not let
them go ashore and that they felt
that their lives were in peril while in
his company. I do not believe that

THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 1921

fact MT. Dale's criticisms have been upon with the same respect as have those of that dean of all critics, Will liam Winter whose word a decade since was accepted as final.
 It was during Miss Robson's en- gaSement in New York last season in "Tish' that Mir Dale who reviewed the play. sought Augustus Pitou, her man ager, and submitted the scenario of "Nobody's Fool" an idea he had had in mind for Miss Robson for some time. Mir. Pitou having read it, asked Miss Robson her opinion; it is needless to say that she was delighted with the idea, although the part she was to interpret was different from anything she had ever essayed. Mir. Dale was at once commissioned to write the play and have it ready for a try-out this spring, at the tail end of her season in Irish" On it's premier. il was found that there was hardly a line to change in the entire manuscript, and the newspaper critics of the several cities where the piece played were unani- nous in their encomiums of both star and play.
 Miss Robson has been surrounded
 with an exceptionally strong cast
 and the production given the play al
 most bespeaks prodigality. The sale of seats will open at th'

However, this time the boys were not to be taken into camp and at no time in the game were they threatened with even a rally on the part of the Stars. Errorless ball was played by the Northside boys and Young Terrill served them over the old pan just a | trifle too fast for the Stars to connect with them. as a consequence the Phoe- | nix boys only received three bingles of the scattered variety as against the twelve good bingles garnered by the Greys.

Comedy Attraction at Strand


 Never has a comedy played the Strand that has created such en- thusiasm as the High and Dizzy" the present headline attraction. in which Harold Lloyd is seen in the first of his super comedies.
 It is in answer, to the insistent de- mand that the Strand has held the comedy over a day longer than the original booking, it being the arrange ment that the comedy will be shown today and tomorrow.
 Laughs, roars. screams ring through the house in great waves of merri- ment as this clever boy introduces a line of comedy entirely new to the screen. There is not slap stick bit in the entire production, and yet there was never q "custard pie" com edy that ever went across with half such zest as does High and Dizzy with every show. Lloyd's antics on the ledge of the high Los Angeles building comprise a line of action en- tirely new 10 comedy films, and to say that it is a knockout success is putting it mildly
 The added attractions are Enid Ben nett in 'Hairpins" and the Pathe News the entire bill giving way Thursday to George FitZmaurice's latest pro duction 'The Right to Love- starring Mae Murray and David Powell.
