MATTICE COMPANY
COME AGAIN NEXT WEEK
Will Play Engagement At The En-
pire Last Three Days
In Week.

Next week at the Empire Theatre
Will be equally divided between silent
and spoken drama. Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday moving pictures will
be shown and Thursday, Friday and
Saturday the Mattice Stock Company
will play their last engagement of the
season.
The attraction on Monday is Pearl
Shepperd and an all star cast, in an
amusing comedy drama, "Why
Change Your Husband"
Once every five years there comes
j great crook drama.
In 1900 there was "Jim the Pen
man."
In 1905 there was "Leah Kleschna' u
In 1910 there was "Alias Jimmy
Valentine"
In 1915 there was within the
Law"
Now in 1922 comes Tod Browning
with "Outside the Law" an under
world epic, starring Priscilla Dean.
Whether this will be another classic OF
crookdom, of course, cannot safely be
predicted. But the favored few who
have already viewed this feature film
pronounce it smashing human dra
ma, favored with a romance of the
underworld and the mystery of ter
rifle oriental justice. Screengoers
will have the opportunity to form
their own opinion when this picture
will be shown on Tuesday and We'd
nesday nights.
At the Empire Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, the Mattice Stock Co..
will make their last appearance in Pc

HEADQUARTERS
TO Be CHANGED
Board to Recommend Loca-
ton and Designation of 7
New Reserve Units

PHOENIX, Ariz.. June Following
meeting today of the state reserve
ALLEGATION board. it was announced
that recommendation would be made
by the board for the designation and
location of seven additional units of
the organized reserves in Arizona.
The board will recommed that head
quarters of the 2O5th infantry brigade
and the brigade's headquarters be
transferred from Tucson to Warren>
Ariz.. and that the headquarters COM
pany of the 409th infantry be moved
from Bisbee to Tucson.
The recommendations were deemed
necessary on account of the promotion
of Colonel. John c.. Greenway TO the
rank of hrigadier general in command
of the 2GSth infantry brigade. His
home is in Warren, and it was thought
advisable to shift brigade headquar-
ters there. The new commanding Of
ficer of the 409th regiment resides in
Tucson, necessitating the transfer OF
its headquarters. The 409th was un-
der command OF Colonel Greenway.

Judge Horner, after hearing the OBJ
