sented by a cast of players which
includes Mabel Julienne Scott Stuart
Holmes, John Davidson, Joseph
Swiclard, Snitz Edwards, Dick Cum
mings, Earle Schenck, and a score of
the most prominent players in shad-
owland.
Fanny Herself is undoubtedly the
greatest woman story in years. IL
has attracted the entire nation, first
as a magazine serial, and later i'm its
book form, and no under the skillfui
handling of Tod Browning. its value
is even double through the medium
of the great silver screen.
Edna Ferber peered into the great
heart of womanhood in writing the
engrossing novel. No mawkish sem
timentality enters the theme there
is no 'mushy" material--but on the
contrary it is a great, soul stirring
narrative-the truest story ever told.

presenting in the stellar character
Fanny-an absorbing study of the
heart of woman, revealed in dramatic
force that will hold everyone posi-
lively spellbound.

DON 7 DELAY LONGER
IN GETTING TICKETS
FOR 'KAPERS Of e

Wen, how's everybody? Before we
go any further we would like to an
nounce that we're going to confine
our remarks to the evils of careless
ness and the seriousness of proera-
stination, pointing to very vital
question as the example Of one Of the
most important questions entering
into the life of the average Phoeni-
clan at this time.
Have you secured your tickets for
the "Kapers of '22"--the big show
which Phoenix lodge No. 3S5. b. p.
o. EllSs are going to stage for five
nights starting next Monday evening
at the Elks theater?
It's rank carelessness il you
haven't, and when one stops TO con-
slider the host of disaster caused in
the world through this very evil. one
shudders when one thinks of the
chance he is taking through pro-
crastination. What greater disaster
could befall any Phoenician than TO
not be able to obtain a seat for the
show which everyone will be talking
about. And yet-that's the very dis
aster you're inviting through that CO.
evil procrastination.
The seats are selling right now at
the box office for all performances
of the 'Kapers." You can obtain
them for any one of the nights-or
all of them if you want And they're
selling right smart, too, we're here
to tell you.
George Branscomb is In the box

ter, Rocco, just as she had brought
this Inflated farmer good luck, in
order that a happy fortune might
come to his own affairs. Ill-luck had
pursued the prince. even after he had
reached Rocco's farm, where there
was only one chair, one broken one,
and he got it; only one grasshopper,
and he got 1t in mis- milk; only one
bee, and he got it.
Fortune smiled on him after Bet
tina came under his palatial roof,
and he would have been happy to this
day had not Pippo, Bettina's sweet
heart, wandered into court as a
strolling musician, accidentally dis
covered the turkey keeper, and es-
capped with her by jumping through a
window and swimming ashore, and
later joining themselves to the enemy
army. Bettina's presence brought
success to the battles, and Prince Lo-
renzo was forced to flee with his
beautiful daughter Fiametta and
Rocco and earn living as wander
ing musicians.
AS a musician Mr.. Andrews is "at
his funniest, when he. comes into
camp fully disguised and entertains
his own enemies by playing a 'kazo-

"kazo- trombone" is? No? Neither

RAYMOND HATTON IS
At COLUMBIA TODAY

He was coward. He was striped
with yellow like zebra. The sight
of six-gun turned his blood to wa
ter and his life was one long night
mare of fear. Fate yanked him out
of an east side taior shop and spilled
him into the widest cattle town in
the West There he was, backed up
against the wall, with his girl be-
hind him and the town bully ready to
fill him full of holes. Then things
begin to happen.
Can't you just imagine Raymond
Hatton in such a role? This in
short is the plot of Goldwyn's latest
picture, Ellis Back Against the
WALL" which begins a pre- release
showing at Mauk's Columbia theater
today. In letter from the home OF
flee Of the Goldwyn corporation the
Columbia is congratulated on secur-

Pleasinn Earoe AZ Ramona


"Polly's Filtration" the new light
comedy offering of the Broadway
Girls company, which had its intro
duction to a Phoenix audience last
night. proved to be one OF the most
pleasing farces seen at the Ramona
this season. The new bill contains
the best comedy lines of any recently
produced and presents many complex
and ridiculous situations, all revolv-
ing around the business affairs and
office routine Of Eddie Young. the
clever eccentric comedian, who es-
says the role of big business man.
Assisting in the presentation Of this
sparkling comedy we find Carolina
Bronson. Johnnie Young, Bobbie
Mack, Hazel Chene and Eva Stewart
all having interesting character as
signments and each contributing a
new speciality number.
The new bill is featured by new
musical acts, vaudeville bits, clever
singing and dancing and the frequent
appearance of the beauty chorus,
who are ali dolled up in wonderful
new wardrobe. The double dance
number by Johnnie and Eddie Young
is one of the clever bits offered with
the present bill. Hazel Chene is seen
in a clever character ballad entitled
MARY Jane" with special costume
for the occasion; Carolina Bronson
has a new blackface speciality. while
Eva Stewart contributes the comedy
song and dance number assisted by
the dancing chorus. Eddie Young
also contributes an eccentric dance
number which is a knockout and
called for repeated encores last night.

oWomen Men Lovev-strand

The Strand today finishes the en-
gagement of Women Men Love-"
the tremendously human dramatic
document in which William Desmond
plays the lead, supported by Martha
Mansfield and Marguerite Marsh
The story contrasts strongly the
qualities in the feminine makeup, and
discusses broadly and pointedly the
positive ard negative, revealing what
characteristics in woman are best
loved by man, and which are in no
case acceptable. and then looking at
the game of life from the woman's
side il shows how some women strug
gle to have the lovable qualities pre-
dominate and how some others are
proud that the negative have the
upper hand. In the telling the drama
has woven a very enthralling story,
built about the usual triangle of
husband his wife and the sister of
the wife. In this instance there is
no three -cornered love affair, insofar
as the eternal triangle is concerned
but there is a strong undercurrent

ending sacrifice.
In Fanny" we have a woman
whose soul is continually torn be-
tween the materialistic and the spir-
itual. In the moments when the
spiritual side of her nature claims
the girl, her real character asserts
itself, and she is "Fanny-herself'
but the dreams of material success
continually battle for recognition.
Fanny with her mother gives up
everything that the brother might
be educated as a violinist. He is
sent to Europe-the little family
struggle along, frugality and the
strictest economy are necessary that
the dream of the mother be realized.
The boy develops into a great mus
ician, and then promptly breaks his
mothers heart through his marriage
overseas. The mothers death a short
time afterwards, finds Fanny alone
and disgusted, realizing the folly of
her years of sacrifice, she leaves for
the big city and soon becomes a
successful business woman-the head
OF a large mail order department
store. Here is where the conflicting
emotions in the heart of the girl build
for such tremendous dramatic pre-
santation. Fenger, the smooth ex-
to material success-Heyl, a former
playmate, now a newspaper man,

Fanny herself be allowed to come to

the rescue, and once again it is the
sister who is made the butt of a cruel
and relentless fate. With pulses

Instead Of a driver, you call the

When the pilot wants to start the en-

on the propeller in front just as you
would pull to crank an automo-

spinning, then the motor is ready for
flight.
