Ralph Dunbars robin Hood"
Opera company returns to the Elks
theater tonight for a limited stock
engagement in the standard comic
operas and will open tonight with
Audran's wonderful composition, "The
Mascot"
The series OF tuneful duets sung
by Theodore Pennington and Carl
Bundshu playing Bettina and Pippo,
respectively, would be enough IN
themselves to constitute an evenings
entertainment of excellent quality.
Miss Pennington's charming soprano
voice is still well remembered by
those who were fortunate enough TO
hear robin Hood" and the role of
Bettina, the charming little country
maid fits her as il it was written
especially for her and Mr.. Bundshu
who is also well remembered here
as a worthy lead for Miss Penning-
ton.
Then there is beautiful Paula
Ayres, Harry Pfiel, George Olsen. Ed
Andrews and all the rest of the Rob
in Hoods" who have excellent roles in
THE Mascott," which all goes to
warrant the greatest treat Phoenix
amusement lovers have ever wit
Messed at the modest admission price.
The Mascot" the work of Edmond
Audran, is comic opera with just
enough plot to interest, the conven-
fional unities being artistically dis
regarded and just enough slap
stick" scenes to amuse without naus
eating. The play is a fine vehicle for
the excellent talents of the players.
There are musical gems in THE
Mascott" that you will be whistling
for weeks. You will never forget
"The Gobble" duet. "All Morose
Thoughts Are Now Flying" Come,
Let Us Be Off, Quick as Bird" the
"Ourang- Outang" song and the many
other gems that Audran has woven
into the plot.
At the modest admission prices
charged Phoenix amusement lovers
should grasp this opportunity of hear
ing another masterpiece of comic
opera. "The Mascot" will run for
six nights with bargain matinees on
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

The Rialto is presenting the pro-

George. j. Hays at the Wurlitzer

sion and dancing charges are con
cerned. The new policy is that of the
club plan--the dues charged at the
door covering the dancing for the
entire evening. There is no further
charge for dancing, and the member
may dance as often or as little as he
likes.
Admission is gained only on the
payment of the dues and the present
alton Of the membership cards. These
cards are not issued to anyone un-
der is years of age. The cards are
obtainable only at the Frolic, and
they must be signed by the properly
authorized official OF the club.
The new plan is proving the wise
ness of the new law, in eliminating
the minors, and is much more satis
flying to the clientele than was the
old system of dance tickets for each
dance. 1t offers the opportunity for
the constant improvement in the
clientel which is happening nightly,
and it is attracting more discrimi-
mating dancers with each evenings
dance.
Carol Reed and his inimitable
Sincopated orchestra furnish the
music at the Frolic every evening.
Excellent refreshment service is
maintained at all times.
E. S. Mayfield. floor manager at
the Frolic is prepared to teach all
the latest dances, and may be reached
at any time either at the club or at
his residence by calling $3.50 by
phone.

the United States in behalf of means
for closer economic union, for lasting
peace and for the general good the
countries represented.
The Central American countries

they are among III, minor countries "

Washington that something Of great
good to the world may come out o.

held In this city.
II Is just about year ago that the
great conference called to discuss the
limitation Of ornaments and Far
East problems was held In this city.
Navy matters were discussed Unc TO
some extent settled AT that gathering.
but the land ornaments problems
were unsOlred
In Central America there has been
through the years IA succession of war
like troubles, internal revolutions and
wars between the different countries,
the latter occurring occasionally upon
very small prUyocation.
II IL known that AT the coming con
ference the question Of land disarma-
nient will be discussed or at any rate
partial disarmament. II seems to be
agreed that " something along this
line Gun be accomplished there will
be less danger In the future of trouble
between Central American countries
May Set Example for Europe.
The discussion of partial dis',rma-
ment will not. Of course, and cannot
have any direct reference to like mat
tiers in Europe. but for some reason
there is very definite hope in Wash
ngton that the example Of this little
conference" may be- followed by some
greater conference. and that eventu-
ally the land ornaments Of the great
powers materially may be decreased
and the chances increased of pro-
longed peace.
