Now 1t might be supposed that an
insect. having a compound eye. would
be able to see more detail than we
do; in other words. could separate

matter of fact, owing to the small
aperture of the lenses composing the
facets of the eye. and the spacing
between the facets. insects see less
detail than we do.
It has been calculated that a
dragon-fiy cannot see separately two
objects that are placed less than one
degree apart. In other words, to such
an insect two silver coins lying on a
table three inches apart, and viewed
from a distance exceeding fourteen
and one-third feet, would appear as

TRIPLE PROGRAM At
THE COLUMBIA IS
To BEGIN SUNDAY

Following their policy Of the most
for your money, Mauk's Columbia
theater has secured for the first four
days of this week big triple pro-
gram that for real entertainment
value cannot be equaled.
In addition to Alice Brady's big
picture, Dawn of the East" Kathryn
Farrar, Utahs wonder violinist, and
her Harmony band, present a jazz
band act that has played in all of the
leading cafes and vaudeville circuits
on the coast. They will give two
shows each evening and a Sunday
afternoon matinee Of one of the snap
piest musical acts shown here in some
time. This means four full days OF
joy for Phoenix dancers, who viii
have this opportunity to hear jazz as
she is done by the g-timers.
Alice Bradys picture, Dawn Of the
East" is a love story of old China
and new America. The story con-
Germs the adventures of Natalya, a
Russian noblewoman, who, with 9TH
ers of her class, is forced to flee
when the revolution breaks out in her
country. With other refugees, she
makes her perilous way across the
Siberian plains and finally arrives in
China, hoping to get to America from
there.
But she is penniless. and she finds
that in the ancient Chinese city there
is neither work nor charity for wom-
en-. Her culture and education are of
no commercial value in obtaining
work, and the only thing she can find
to do Is to sing nightly in notorious
cafe much frequented by European
travellers.
Her daring coup 70 escape from
China to America and her subse-
quent difficulties with a willy oriental
villain who follows and blackmaile
her make q tense drama OF unusual
interest.
AS an added feature Of this already
large program Harold Lloyd presents
his new comedy among Those Pres
ent." Those of you who saw his
other two will not be disappointed in
this one.
Incredible as Il may seem, this
triple program is being presented at

The characterization in the picture
is said to be a triumph of the art of
pantomime. The sinister DIR. Cali

mannerisms, creates a weirdly fasci-
mating impersonation. The character
Of the somnambulist Cesare, over
whom he exercises a psycho-analyti-

tragic intensity OF its horror and suf-

Another Sunday rolls around, and
with 1t the attention Of all the dane
erS is turned to Riverside Park and
the wonderful weekend dances which

enclosed: with Carol Reeds baby

with the roads all paved TO the park,
these dances have become the most
popular event of the entire week.
The refreshment service is main
tanned all evening on the same plane
of excellence as marks the service
throughout the week at the Frolic.
The ballroom at Riverside Park
boasts OF unquestionably one of the
finest floors in the entire southwest.
OF cushioned construction, there is
no fatigue, no matter how much
dancing one does. And this, coupled
with the excellency of its condition,
the ease OF movement over its sur
face, the big, roomy, inviting appear
ance make OF Riverside's ballroom the
ideal dancing palace.
The admission price remains at 10
cents and dancing at five cents at

be approximately 100 feet long and

One of the great factors IN creating
the mood of terror and mystery which
