1t is very difficult for reviewer
to do compete justice to film

at the Palace this week. It is
work to be approached with
certain amount of seriousness us.
ually lacking in such matters,
for, seen in the light of the first
two or three reels, nothing can be
discerned but perfection, after
which comes q reversion to true
Hollywoodian style.
AS has been said, the first two
or three reels are almost startling
In the completeness of the illusion
presented. The Partisan scenes,
the gradual weakening of the
moral fiber Of Elsie Maury under

these early reels stalks a grim
shadow in the person of Lon

There are certain actors and
actresses who were destined to
play certain parts. AS Percy
Marmont was Dick Heldar in 1.-The
Light That Failed" SO is Dorothy
Mackaill the spirituelle Elsie
Maury. Here Is a part requiring
repression--acting more spiritual
than physical. Miss Maclxaill
proves her, right to place in the
sun by her splendid performance
of the difficult role. Nor is
Ricardo CorteZ, comparative
newcomer, to be denied his de-
served praise. In part that
dominates the first half of the

Lon CLANCY, almost wasted in

sheer force to position that chaI-

MAE MARSH Is IN
''DADDIES" AT
RIALTO

Bachelors clubs have been
formed again and again since the
time Of which Shakespeare wrote,
and have been as often dissolved
by the same dreaded fate-mar-
riage.
Take such situation in real
life, in a book or on the screen,
and it's mirth-provoking quality is
a foregone conclusion. Have that
bachelors club adopt "a" orphan
while lodging matrimony and you
have a riot of fun, but multiply
that orphan by six and you'll need
to invent language to describe the
result.
Though a theme fraught with
untold possibilities for fun, it is
also one which can be spoiled by
unskillful handling. 1t is, there
fore, an impossible task to place
responsibility upon any one per-
son for the successful result
achieved in "Daddies," which is
the Rialto attraction this week.
John Hobble wrote the story,
which was turned into a stage
play by David Belasco, under
whose supervision the film was
also made. Julien Josephson
adapted it to the screen, and Will
liam A. Setter chose and directed
the splendid cast without which
1t would have been a flop"

and five clever youngsters monop-

The entire action takes place
within the confines Of one large
house, clearly demonstrating that
the success Of a picture does not
depend upon expensive and exten.
sive scenery.
Wee Willie" Robyn, who has
proved as popular with movie
audiences as with radio fans, will
continue to delight them with his
songs for yet another week as
an addition to the program, which
also includes the Rialto News

The democratic party last night fir
ed the opening guns of it's state and
national campaigns in Winslow at
Kelly's Pastime hall, when United
States Senator Henry F. Ashurst,
State Mine Inspector Tom Foster and
w. D. Claypool, candidate for state
corporation commissioner addressed
an audience of about two hundred peo-
pie. 1t was the largest political meet
ing held in this city for many years.
DR.. Geo. P. Sampson, chairman of
the county democratic central COM
mittee, introduced the speakers.
Mr.. Claypool was presented first.
He stated in his address that he was
one who believes that the corporation
commissioner should have other quail
fications besides being a rate expert,
such as common honesty, common
sense and little common decency.
didate said that he believes that he
has practical experience in public
utility, which is of more importance,
since the state maintains two rate ex-
pertS in connection with the commits
sion.
The nominee intimated that he had
been disappointed in the attitude
which Scott White had taken in con-
testing his nomination. In cOnclud-
ing his remarks, Mr.. Claypool pledged
himself to his party and declared that
if elected to the position of corpora
ton commissioner, he will give any

important office.
Tom Foster was the second speaker
introduced by DR.. Sampson. Mr..
Foster started his campaign speech
with the declaration that the only
qualifications he possesses for the Of
fee which he seeks is that he is a
hard rock miner, but before he was
through with his remarks, the voters
were more than satisfied that he has
qualifications which have made his
incumbency the most successful since
Arizona was admitted to statehood
The nominee declared that the peo-
pie of Arizona want a practical man,
and when the voters elect him, they
do not want him to be a fashion plate,
sitting around the state capitol in
white flannels, but they want him TO
get out and find bad ground and harm
ful conditions underground, which are
injurious to miners.
Senator Ashurst was the principal
speaker of the evening. Mr.. Ashurst
is one of the most eloquent speakers
in America, and held his audience
spellbound with his recital of condi-
tions in Washington his analysis of
the three major candidates for preS-
dent, and as he called it, 'the ac-
counting of his stewardship for the
past eight years" 1t has been that
long since Senator Ashurst spoke be-

P D. Grizzard, wellknown Wins
low business man and agent for the
Standard Oil company, died suddenly
last evening a few minutes past SIX
O'Clock. His death was great sur
prise and shock to the people OF the
city.
About three weeks ago Mr.. Grizzard
was the victim of an automobile ac-
cident in which he suffered what were
thought to have been minor injuries
consisting of two broken ribs and a
cut on his wrist Loss of blood from
the latter weakened Mr.. Grizzard's
strength. and complications from the
injuries followed, resulting in affec-
tion of the heart. 1t was not known
even by his closest intimates until
Yesterday that Mr.. Grizzard was seri-
ously ill.,

State Bank Examiner Hammons
says that the present condition Of the
bank is due to the institutions inabil-
ity to realize on long outstanding
loans to cattle and sheep interests OF
northern Arizona, a condition occa-
stoned by the drouth, depression in
the cattle market, and general condl-
tions affecting agricultural and stock
industries.
Concerning the situation in WINS

ally:

tribute to Governor Hunt, and thank
ed his stars that the democrats had
again nominated Hunt for the gov
ernorship. He stated that he was
proud of his long acquaintance with
Governor Hunt, having known him
since boyhood, as a business man
banker and later as a statesman.
Senator Ashurst told in a most un-
derstandable way of the founding OF
political parties, tracing the origin OF
the present parties back to the time
of Hamilton, leader of the federalist
party, and Jefferson, founder of the
peoples party, the now democratic
party.
He took up in order and explained
their courses in Washington of mat
ters pertaining to the soldiers dis
ability and capitalization measures,
the postal employees increase of pay
bill, described Coolidge's veto of the
bill to increase the pension of G. A.
R. veterans, and the oil scandal stu
alton He scored in emphatic terms
the administration attitude concern
ing the post office department and
scored the idea that the department
is operated for profit any more than
the navy, the national parks or other
government departments.
The Mail has not the time before its
hour of publication to give a complete
resume of the senator's speech as it
would like but all who were in the hall
last evening will long remember it.
