Tonigh Phoenix theater- goers bid
farewell to their own bright star,
Miss Ruth Renick, who gives her
final night performance of Merely
Mary Ann at the Elks theater at

ADJUSTMENTS
feature PROGRAM
At STRAND MAKES
UNUSUAL OFFERING

A program OF features that en-
braces everything from comedy to
adventure, divided into four divisions,
headed by the Miracles OF the
Jungles' will hold the Strand screen
for a three days engagement start
ing today.
NO picture in years was any more
auspiciously received during the pre-
miere installment than was Miracles
OF the Jungle" last week, the begin
ming of the story. It is so widely
different from anything ever before
offered, and so novel in the use OF
such a galaxy of wild beasts that the
word exceptional but states mildly
the worth OF this feature as an enter
tainment medium.
The chapter first shown gave one
Just an inlIling of the size and tre-
mendous adventure value to be dis
closed and at the close OF ii. we
found the two girls seemingly help
less amid the city of lions, with the
beasts arriving from all sides for
the kill"
Taking UP the thread of the story
at this point, we next follow the lit
tie party through "The Passage of
Death" Here again will more OF the
action lof the animals take place,
forging the story ahead in the search
which the two secret service men are
conducting through the Dark Conti-
uent on the lookout for a fugitive
from justice.
Everyone will be particularly in
terested in this installment. 1t bears
a peculiar import to the telling of the
story, and is an even more exciting
chaper than the opening action.
THE Alarm" a stirring red blooded
adventure tale OF the early west is
one of the added attractions. 1t has
been said that there has been no
western drama released this year that
has any faster nor any more thrilling
action than does THE Alarm"
The comedy end Of the program
win be supplied by Mutt and jeff in
"The Village Cut-ups" and by a Sc
lected Star comedy which will also
be shown. Pauline Ford in new
songs will be another attraction.
Taking it all in all, the lineup for the
three days starting today looks to be
one of the most interesting in weeks
at this popular theater.

BRINGING UP
FATHER" OPENS
At ELKS FRIDAY

Fresh from it's conquering triumphs
at the Manhattan opera house, New
York, and the Metropolitan opera
house, Philadelphia, Bringing Up
Father in Wall Street" has arrived in
town. According to all accounts this
is the best offering of the series thus
far and no doubt will enhance the
popularity Of these ever mirthful
George McManus cartoon creations to
a notch of success never heretofore
obtained.
The new attraction, divided into
two acts and five scenes, interpolated
with tuneful, rollicking, infectious
and ear haunting melodies, will hold
the boards at the Elks theater, COM
mencing Friday, Jan. 13, with the
usual matinee Saturday. This time
poor old Jiggs Mahoney, still pursued
and harassed by Maggie, his better
half, dabbles in Wall street, where he
meets with numerous humorous and
side splitting adventures, aided and
abetted by the ubiquitous Dinty and
the other famous and beloved char
acters. The company is large and
capable one and an engagement of
unalloyed, unstinted and unmitigated
hilarity, screams, laughter and joy
eternal should be the unusual order Of
things.

doubtful il any of these stars get

WANTS STANDARD METHOD
 OF RATING MOTOR TRUCKS

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Rob- bins B. Stoeekel has requested the Ma tional Automobile Chamber of Commerce and the Society of Automotive Engineers to formulate a standard method for rat ing motor trucks to determine their safe carrying capacity.
 Under existing regulations, the motor hicle dept. will not register a truck for a capacity greater than is guaran- teed by it's manufacturers as being safe. This system is working satisfactorily in cases of trucks that have not been ma- terially changed since leaving the fac tory, but it provides no method for de- termining the weight that home made trucks may safely carry.
 The department has received many ap- plications to register at excessive capacl- ties trucks that have been made by put ting commercial bodies on touring car classes. It. is difficult to determine what is a safe load for such trucks, par ticularly when the owners have made some effort to strengthen certain vital parts to meet increased strain.
 In order to overcome this problem, the department desires the organizations men tioned to fix certain minimum size or weight for the different parts of truck of given capacity, similar to the restric- 1 tions placed upon the parts of elevators or the regulations which restrict the electrical current that may be passed through various sizes of wire
 The departments move in this direc- tion is made primarily for the sake of safety to users of the public highways l and secondly to enable it to assess against truck owners fees commensurate with the wear of their cars on the roads
