Young Movie Star
Turns Picture Critic

Carmelita Geraghty is among
those film players who see pictures.
In one respect she differs, for while
she closely follows every picture
dramatic critics review as worth
seeing, she also takes in those pic
lures that are 'panned."
Good acting and bad should be
noted by the ambitious actor. l go
to see pictures of all kinds. In this
way | can elevate my own stand
ards and by having examples of bad
acting in my mind 1 take the bet
ter precaution to avoid doing things
that are inartistic," she declares.
every actor should read the criti-
cisms of dramatic editors, and while
one may differ with them some
times, they offer valuable aid. Pic
lures are an open textbook on
screen acting. Los Angeles Ex-
aminer.
Miss Geraghty will be in Winslow
during the airway celebration as
the representative of the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce.

WINSLOW WILL BE
STARTING POINT
FOR HOPI DANCE

Winslow promises for the first
time in history to be the main
starting point this summer for the
greater part of the tourists who
come from all parts of the United
States to attend the annual snake
dance of he Hopi Indians each year.
This fact has been made possible
through a pamphlet which is being
distributed and mailed out all over
the country by the merchants of the
city.
The pamphlet is an interesting
piece of literature prepared for dis
tribution by the Winslow CONNER
cial club and written by Charles l..
Murphy 1t deals with an introduce
tory description of the desert and
surroundings of Winslow which
leads into a detailed account of the
Hopi Indians, their mode of living,
their traditions concerning the
snake dance, and their actions dur
ing the dance, from the catching
of the snakes to the last rites at
the end.
r. M. Bruchman, local Indian
trader, has mailed out about 1000
of these circulars, sending them to
merchants and customers on his
mailing list. To date, replies have
been received from practically ev-
cry state, Mr.. Bruchman says, and
almost every mail brings additional
letters.
Some of the letters ask for more
information, while others state that
the writer's will be present for the
dances if they are notified of the
exact date of the dance. One reply
from Oakland contained the infor-
nation that a party of II people
from there are. planning to make
the trip They will come several
days before the dance and make
Winslow their headquarters while
seeing some of the scenic wonders
of the surrounding country, it was
stated.
Another letter, from Wilkesbarre,
Pennsylvania, states that party
of five are planning the trip from
that place.
Many other letters of a like ma
ture have been received, and Mr..
Bruchman says that many have
asked for more information who
have not said definitely that they
would attend
The snake dance is the prayer
of the Hopi Indians for rain and
it is the only strictly religious
dance of their tribe which the pub
lie is allowed to attend. 1t usually
takes place at some time the latter
part of August. This year it will
be held at Mesa of Walpi, at which
place the postoffice is called Po-
lacca.

American soil.
Captain Smith is on three
months furlough, and will come to
Winslow by train, as he is taking
much needed rest from the strain
of constant aerial work. He will
be the guest of the city at the
banquet and ball on Saturday eve
ming, May 16.
Mr.. Hausler will arrive in Wins

fly here in an naval deHaviland
