REAL CLASS SEEN
IN CAST FOR ELKS
"KAPERSO OF 1922

ANY producer or director Of any
musical revue will tell you that to
try to put a show across without real
soloists and ballad singers is to 70
up against a job as tough as the lad
who is flirting with perpetual mo-
tion Is up against; in the language
of the bards, "she amt never been
DONE"
Nor is the ''Kapers of '22." the show
which will shortly be presented un-
der the auspices of Phoenix lodge,
No. 1856, B. p. O. Elks, even going to
attempt such task.
Roy Marsh, the producer, has given
all sorts of proof of his wiseness
when he selected Miss Anna Luke.
A sweeter singer, a girl of more
pleasing stage appearance, or more
charming personality than that pos
sessed by Miss Luke would be hard
to find. And she injects that Won
derful personality into her vocal rem
ditions. She is going to delight with
several song numbers during the
"Kapers." We heard her sing "One
Kiss" and we predict a rousing hit
with everyone in every audience. And
Marsh tells us she is going to render
two or three more. If the rest of
them are anywhere as near as good
as "One KISS ner success Is assured.
and the 'Kapers" is a big step for
ward on the advance towards the
goal of universal satisfaction with
the theatergoer.
And there you have another evil
dence of the real entertainment worth
of the show all the city will be raw
ing about after the first perform
ance. Every possible thing is being
done to insure perfection. Smooth
ness is the keynote, snap and pep"
and vim. It's big time attraction
and the big time methods of hand
ling it are going to put it across with
a bang.
To Miss r. Paula Revare must go
the credit for the wonderful chorus
which will delight in "The Kapers."
What this little lady does not know
about drilling girls ''ain't IN the book"
believe us, and believe us once more
when we tell you she's proving it,
too, with the beauty chorus. Every
ensemble number is going to be a
feature, anyone of them worth the
price OF admission, and the bunch of
them the biggest value Phoenix the
atergoers have ever been offered on
a musical show either amateur or
professional.
The seat sale for the "Kapers" will
open at the theater next Monday
morning. We got that dope hot off
the dope sheet. And tickets for all
the performances will be sold then.

America, where she marries an Eng
lishman. An agent of her Chinese
husband tracks her and attempts TO
blackmail her. From this point the
story quickly unfolds to a dramatic
climax that surprises for it, orig
inality and daring.
All of the characters are excep-
tionally well chosen, but perhaps
more interest centers around the
name Of Michio Ptow. the famous
Formosan dancer, whose name is an
institution in New York art colonies.
Notable among the productions ne
has staged are "Bushido," which he
produced for the washington Square
Players, and Faithful" for the New
York Theater Guild. He has also
danced with Adolph Bolm in the
Ballet Russo. A master OF panto-
mime, he has made the character
of Sotan in Dawn Of the East" one
of the most sinister ever screened.
AS if this was not enough, the man
agement has added Harold Lloyds
latest comedy, Among Those Pres
ent,' to cheer things up. That is
Lloyd's long suit and he does 1t to
perfection. You'll say so when you
see him caper through three reels
of condensed joy.
This big program closes Wednes-
day. giving way to the strangest
film in the world, "The Cabinet of
DR.. Caligari,' which will close the
week at regular house prices. James
w. Dean, the famous New York critic,
unhesitatingly puts Caligari at the
top of a list of the 10 best photo
plays of 1921. over such pictures as

second and 'The Three Musketeers."

MEETING BIC AID
INCAMPA|GN TOUSE
ARIZONA PRODUCTS

The meeting of farm bureau heads,
purchasing agents and wholesale dis
tributors held at Tucson last Thurs
day accomplished a great deal Of
good in encouraging the use OF Ari
zona products in the state. in the
opinion OF Dr. John bennett, Jr., Of
the Hassayampa Creamery company
here, w. J. Lewis of the Lewis ranch
at Chandler and other valley men
who attended.
> The. conference, which was ar
anged by the Arizona Industrial con-
ress as the first important step in
Is use Arizona Products" cam
)aign, succeeded in bringing produc-
ers, consumers and middlemen to-
gether as never before, in the opin-
ion of those present from Phoenix,
and cannot fail to AVE a marked ef-
feet.
"The meeting accomplished a great
deal OF good" said DIR. bennett yes-
terday. when farmers and mer-
chants get together they find mutual
ground for understanding and CO.
operation, and their products find a
more ready market"
The creamery head pointed out
that the problem of stimulating the
mainly matter of showing consum-
ers products are made at home which
are just as good as those which can
be imported. In other words, Arizo-
ma people who do not use Arizona
products generally fail TO do so be-
cause they do not know there are
now home products which can be
used instead of the imported goods
they have been in the habit Of buy
ing.
The meeting also will be of ma
terial benefit to the valleys dairy
industry, in the opinion of DR.. Dem
nett, who believes Arizonians need
only to be shown the valley produces
evaporated milk. butter and cheese
Of the same quality-and in some
cases superior--as the dairy products
which are shipped in. The volume
Of local dairy products used in the
state is materially increasing, he
said, as people learn of them.
The same situation applies to jams
and preserved fruits, according to
Mr.. Lewis, who also believes the use
Of Arizona products will increase as
they become known to the public.
"The meeting in Tucson will have
a very good effect In every line OF
production in the state" said MIR.
Lewis. ut showed the distributors
and purchasing agents that Arizona
has products just as good as any that
are shipped in, and everybody got
together to see that the consuming
public becomes aware Of that fact"
Both Dr. bennett and Mr.. Lewis
gave talks at the meeting, the former
on the dairy industry Of the state
and the latter on the canning and
preserving of fruit in Arizona.

No Villians'-and here again is
comedy the prevalent note struck in
the story. This feature presents the
charming little star as a girl opera

Fashion NelUs
Notes by Wire
| to The ARGUS

Chicago, Feb. 15.-In spite of the
strict decree in favor of longer
skirts, a decree which has all the au-
thority of Paris back of it, the skirt
length in America this spring bids
fair to be any ones game. Only
having rid themselves of long
dresses, American women-always
more keen for the comfortable and
practical than the Parisienne-are
chary about entangling their legs
again in unnecessary yards of
cloth. Chicago has come out open
ly for a skirt much shorter than
any on the Partisan boulevards, and
Chicagoans are seen in frocks only
an inch or two longer than last
years. But on the other hand
Chicago skirts are not generally as
short today as those in New York.
The solution will probably be to
make evening gowns longer. sports
clothes perhaps trifie shorter
than ever, and other gowns any
length which individual taste may
dictate.
Paris, Feb. 15.-Girdles form the
most important feature in some of
the later evening gowns. Now that
