BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR

triotic attire last evening for the

Hurst not written "Just Around the
Corner "Humoresque" would still be
ranked as the greatest human story
the screen has ever known. 1t is,
therefore, a most significant fact
that the author should break her
own record-and with another story
of the East Side-the same locale as
furnished the background for HUI
moresque.
The present story differs entirely
from the former triumph in the CEN
trail idea--the interest centering on
the daughter of the house rather than
on the son. But there is that same
deep understanding, the same Won
derful expression Of mother love--the
same accuracy of types, and condi-
tions.
AS one writer has said OF it: Gust
Around the Corner rises above the
rattle and clatter of New York into
the best that human hearts can
know" And this is the out standing
feature of the production. There is
an intimacy OF family life-the ties
of devotion-a mother-~her son--and
the daughter-all living life of pow
erty-the daughter brought close to
life--the brother the bulwarll on
whom the mother placed her trust
and the other mantle super man
who came from the streets. into the
life of the family. New York's East
Side--what a mine of material for
screen stories-and how masterfully
has Fannie Hurst made use of that
material. "Just Around the Corner
is eclipsing the record of "Humor-
esque" wherever the feature is being
screened, and the advance interest
augers for the same condition to pre-
vail in Phoenix.

ADJUSTMENTS
LAST CHANCE To SEE
DUNBAR OPERA CO. IN
"PINAFORE" TODAY

If you want to give the family a
real treat today take them to the
Elks theater to see the Dunbar Opera
stars in the tuneful Gilbert and Sui
livan opera III. NJ S. Pinafore." This
beautiful production will be repeated
this afternoon and tonight only and
tomorrow Sunday brings the new
production Of THE Mikado"
Few people realize the amount of
work and energy required Of a COM
pany TO produce one Of these great
operas each week and produce them
in the finished style that the Dun
bar people do. Opera work is even
Nwore difficult than dramatic work.
The dramatic actor must have
number of requisites. Among them
physical form suitable to the char
acter he portrays. q good carrying
voice, that can be heard throughout
the theater, and above all. histronic
ability and personality which forces
the audience to see only the charac-
ter he impersonates. and not the one
who is acting the part.
The operate singer must have all
OF these qualities in full and what is
most essential. a good singing voice.
Many charming singers are poor ac-
tors. AS a rule church singers sell
lists on the stage. Very few singers
do ever make good actors, in fact
these two accomplishments seldom
unite in the same individual.
Taking these facts into considera-
ton, one readily realizes how diff
cult has been the task to assemble
such an operate company as the
Dunbar company, which is giving
those wonderful productions at the
Elks.
Take for instance Harry Pfeil the
leading tenor of this sterling organ
ization. He has a voice of charming
quality, sweet and yet powerful
enough to fill any theater, with high
Ces" in abundance. He has the form
and personality for romantic roles,
and besides is an excellent actor.
in Robin Hood YOU saw Mr.. Pfeil
dash into the fair at Nottingham
as the noble Earl of Huntington, and
join himself to the merry outlaws
who robbed the rich only to give to
the poor. In THE Mascot" you saw
him az the weak foppish prince
without character or any aim in life
except to basque in the eyes of the
Princess F'iametta and in "Pinafore"
he is a Jolly Jack tar" on board his
majestys ship. Each role is dis
tinctly different. yet in each he is
particularly good
1t is extremely interesting each
week to note how these Dunbar stars
change their character and you like
them better the oftener you see
them
"The Mikadoa promises to be lust
little bit better than anything that
has gone before.
