PRESIDENT KIND, NOT COLD,
SAYS MISS HALL

Miss Sharlot M. Hall, AriZOna's be-
loved poet laureate, who carried to
Washington this states electoral vote,
in letter to Mrs. L. e. Hewins of
Phoenix, said in part:
"The band, so often spoken of in
connection with White House func-
tions, played us along gaily, and in
time [ was speaking again to Presi-
dent Coolidge and to the lovely little
lady who stood beside him. He was
gravely courteous, she quite personal
in the warmth of her greeting to me.
"The president is not at all like the
descriptions of him which we have
read. q have now seen him three
times.) He is kind, not cold, a little
grave but with keen humor in his
eyes and the culver of his lips. He
may not joke but he sees all the fun
he laughs and smiles and his voice
is a fine index of the man-so cour-
teous, SO just and balanced I am al
most as enthusiastic about his voice
(fOr you remember that is my own
most special interest upon meeting
peOple) as / am about the melody in
the voice of Mrs. Coolidge.
Here are two people who embody
our finest American ideals I am
growing more and more proud of hav-
ing carried the Coolidge vote of Ari-
zOna to Washington
SIN dress, the president looked like
any careful business man.
Mrs. Coolidge wore conservative
gown of white satin brocaded family
with gold, with long V of lace down
the train at the back. Her hair is
very dark and her small face very
womanly and gentle.

BELAsco CHANGES HIS MIND

David Belasco, probably the great
est of American theatrical producers,
has at last surrendered to Equity
When the thespians of New York
and other cities organized the Actors
Equity Association some years ago
in order to secure fair wages and
decent working conditions for those
who work in theaters, Belasco was
one of the leaders of the opposition
At one time he was reported to have
said that he would quit the theatrical
business before he would submit to
trade union regulations.
But he has changed his mind Last
week he gave out statement in
New York that he would support the
program of the Equity advisory board
formed to study radio and adjust all
stage disputes.
Equity has been doing a splendid
work for the actor and the theater,
declared Mr.. Belasco.

ROUTES OF NEW MOTOR COACH
SYSTEM

Final disposition of the town ditch
that runs through Five Points has
been approved, and the old street
car system is to be supp1anted with
a motor coach system that will serve
all parts of the city. This has been
definitely decided by plans of the
city divulged at last meeting of the
commissioners:
No. /. On Indian school road from
Fourteenth street to Central Avenue,
then south to the Center street
bridge Gust beyond Riverside park;
Commute service.
No. 2. On Central Avenue from
Mcdowell road to Lower Tempe road
approximately a mile beyond the
Center Street BRIDGE; Commute
service
No. 3. On Washington street from
Seventeenth street to Seventeenth
Avenue; north on Seventeenth ave-
nue. to Adams Street; then west on
Adams street to Twenty-second ave-
nue.; 10-minute service.
No. 4. On Van Buren, street from
Twenty-fourth street to Grand Ave
nue.; then on Grand Avenue to the
state fair grounds; 15-minute service.
No. 5. On Seventh street from
Thomas road to Washington street;
Commute service
No. g. On Twelfth street from
Mcdowell road to Van Buren, street,
Commute service
No. 7. On Seventh avenue from
Mcdowell road to Yavapai street;
Commute service.
No. 8. On MoreIand street from
Fourteenth street to Central Avenue,
then on Central to Washington
Street.
The company proposes to operate
for 10-cent fare, with one transfer
allowed between the hours of a. m
and midnight.
The 1O-cent fare provision may
prove a stumbling block, it being
contended that the street cars, if al
lowed the same fare charge might
have continued it's service to a profit
able basis, resulting in satisfactory
service.

NEWS OF THE
W0MEN'S CLUBS
EASTER EGG HUNT
AT BERGEN PINES

Mrs. Mary E. Torrey, chairman of
the Institutional Cooperation Com
mittee, is planning an egg hunt for
the folks out at Bergen Pines on Eas-
ter Sunday afternoon. About one
hundred patients will be able to par
ticipate in the thrilling search for the
vari-colored eggs. Prizes are to be
given to the best hunters, and every
thing possible will be done to make
this memorable day for those who,
through force of circumstances, are
compelled to lead a more or less
humdrum existence.
In this connection, be it remem-
bered that Mrs. Torrey is very glad to
receive discarded magazines and
other reading matter for the residents
at Bergen Pines. 1t seems a pity to
throw away good magazines and other
literature when they can in this way
be made to do double duty. Mrs
Torrey says that the boys are eager
for reading matter and fairly pounce
upon the magazines and books which
she takes out to them.

"Hell's Bells"

After fitting about the outskirts Of
the Great White Way for going on
three months, until it has established
itself as one of the seasons hits,
"Hells Bells" Barry Conners' spark
ling comedy of youth, love and
laughter, moves into the George M.
Cohan Theatre, Broadway at Forty
second street, Monday evening, March
%, and settles down for a summers
run.
Although its title has nautical
twang, and several New York critics
likened it's hilarious humor to that of
"Abie's Irish Rose," Mr.. Corners
comedy deals neither with seamen
nor with racial troubles. 1t is the
story of two sons of the Arizona
desert who come to New York to Gre
ate a market for a more or less
mythical mine. It's double love story
presents two of the funniest proposal
scenes ever seen on the stage; while
the attempts of the sisters of one of
the "desert rats" to railroad him to
a lunatic asylum provide plenty of
thrills.
Tom H. Walsh, probably the great
est delineator of desert characters,
and Eddie Garvie play the leading
roles, with Shirley Booth and Hum
phrey Bogart as the interesting
young people. The excellent sup
porting cast includes: Lotta Linthi-
cum, Joseph Greene, Camilla Crume,
Virginia Howell, Violet Dunn, Ern-
est Pollock, Fletcher Harvey, James
Cherry, Clifton Self, and Converse
Tyler.
1t is presented by Herman Cant
