Home Town
to See New
Play First
Charles MiIIhoIIand's Work
Is to Be Viewed at
Civic Theater.

A home town audience is . pass
first judgment on "Faun," the new
play by Charles Bruce Millholland,
native of indianapolis, at the Civic
Theater, Nov %.
The script is now in the hands of
several New York producers, accord
ing to Director Frederick Burleigh
of the Civic Theater. Movie COM
panies, remembering the success OF
Twentieth Century" also will cast
interesting glances at the premiere.
Representatives of Gotham theatre
cal promoters are to attend opening
night.
The plays plot was suggested by
the life of Nijinsky, though "Faun'
is by no means biographical. 1t is
the story of Valsky, Russian bal
let dancer who marries against his
managers wishes. The manager,
Sergayeff, breaks his dancers con-
tract and forbids him to dance with
any other ballet.
Valsky tries vaudeville and fails
The outbreak of the World War
finds him in Salzburg. Austrian Of
flcials discover diagrams that the
dancer has made, and when they &C
cuse him of sending code messages
to Russia, Valsky has to dance fol-
his life" before a court-martlal tC
prove the innocence of the drawings
Later, Sergayef brings his ballet
to New York and members of the
troupe, finding Valsky there, force
the reluctant manager to take him
back. On opening night, Valsky re-
ceives an accidental injury which
affects his mind.
The final scene shows the dancer
in Switzerland, mentally i'll, and in
final conversation with Sergayef
something within him snaps, and
the curtain descends upon hero
gone insane.

Life Of Prince
in School Told
Romberg 0peretta to Be
Given Three Days.

Sigmund Romberg's THE Student
Prince" which comes to Englishs
Nov. IA, IS and 16 tells the story of
a young mans life at the Univer-
sity of Heidelberg.
The prince leaves the gloomy
castle, where he was reared, to
study at the university. He forgets
royal dignity and wins the respect
of his classmates because of his
gaiety and spirit.
He meets Kathie, innkeeper's
niece, and they fall in love. But
their happiness is DESTROYED by a
letter from the castle commanding
his return. The prince leaves,
promising he will return.
Becomes King
Two years pass, and the prince
becomes king. At last he escapes
his royal duties and returns to Hell
delberg. Meanwhile Kathie has
realized that they never can marry.
Rather than cause her lover fur
ther unhappiness, she pretends to
love another.
The book of the operetta is Doro-
thy Donnelys skillful adoption of
the play, "Old Heidelberg" and is
worthy of the lovely music with
which Romberg adorned it. The
work seems destined to a perma-
nent place in the affection of all
muSic-loVers.

Barons and, like the latter, is abetted
by that able straight man." Cliff
Hall. The skits are somewhat in the
Weber and Fields manner, and the
audience apparently liked them.
The best item on the bill, in this
spectators opinion, is girls band,
directed by Janice Janis. In rhythm,
smooth playing and clever arrange
ments, they surpass good many of
our well-known masculine aggrega-
tons.
Wilfred Dubois does some adroit
juggling with two tennis balls and
a racket; Blanche and Elliot pre-
sent out-of- the ordinary dancing
and Helen Doyle and Rose Moran
are the featured singers. The chorus
appears in colorful Ziegfeldian cos

Preston Foster Does Good
Work as Emhittered
Hero, Marcus.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

Better than The Crusades," the
newest of the spectac.e-dramas,
The Last Days of Pompeii," NOR
allies on the proverblal lesson Of the
triumph Of good over evil.
Marcus, the young blacksmith
about whom the story of "Pompeii'
weayes itself, is virtuous, ambitious
husband with a dutiful wife and a
cute baby boy. He can not see
where his happiness could be i'm
proved. An accident which causes
the death of his wife and child
turns him bitter, and he starts to
attain material wealth.
Becoming a fighter in the Roman
arena, Marcus, ruthless, soon be-
comes champion of the Circus
MaXimus, gains wealth and riches.
Adopts Friends Son
One of his victims leaves a young
son, whom Marcus adopts. The son
develops many Of his foster fathers
best characteristics, but the differ
ence between the two becomes a
definite breach when Marcus finds
out his son has been aiding Chris
tan prisoners, meant for the lions
in the arena, to escape.
THE Last Days Of Pompeii" could
not, of course, have gotten along
without a scene showing destruction
of the city. The manner in which
this has been pictured is highly
creditable. Although one can tell
the scenes have been faxed, one also
must realize that volcanoes, ready
to erupt, are not found lying around,
even by movie companies.
Preston Foster has cone remark
ably we'll with his first real char
acter role. Marcus changes charac-
ter from a kind and gentle black
smith into hard and conniving
business man, and back to a kindly
old man.
Casts Best Listed
Basil Rathbone as Pontius Plate,
John Wood as the groWn-up son,
Flayius, and Wyrley Birch as the
sons tutor-slaVe, are the best of the
cast.
Strangely enough, the scenes of
the crumbling Pompeii, of the pris-
oners fleeing under the rain of fire
from Vesuvius, and of the combats
in the arena before the blood
thirsty Roman 400" ultimately are
subservient to a fine, convincing
story, an innovation in this type Of
picture.
It's not as big, not as clustering,
not as top-heavy as The Crusades, "
but it comes nearer to putting across
q moral.

MODERN FHA HOMES

lin MODELTOWN

while the San Diego Ex-
position is one of the most in
teresting ever held in the
United States, a visit to Mod
eltown is worth the cost of
the entire trip" said Thomas
j. Elliott, state director of
the Federal Housing Admin
istration. who has just re-
turned from an FILA region
al conference, which includ-
ed a trip of inspection to
Modeltown, constructed un-
der the supervision of Aus
tin l.. Black, deputy region
al director of the admins
tration stationed at San
Francisco.
"Modeltown consists of Sc
houses, each of different de-
sign and any one of which
may be used by prospective
home owners who are desir-
Gus of building a new home
under the terms of the hous-
ing administration act. 1t is
located on an acre plot COW
ering one of the most beau
tiful glades in Balboa Park.
The location is ideal and per-
haps the most beautiful in
the spacious exposition
grounds. No exhibit attracts
more attention.
81 recommend that every
Arizonan interested in build
ing a new home, or in the
modernization of a present
home, visit this town. 1t will
simplify and make under
standable the real meaning
of the national housing act,
for it visualizes in dramatic
form the privileges and ben
efits of the act as nothing
else has done.

SCOUT REPRESENTA-

The Boy Scouts who were
elected to represent their re-
spective troops at the ma
tional Jamboree at Washing
ton. ID. c.. this month were
disappointed when that
event was called off on ac-
count OF the spread Of infan-
tile paralysis in the east at
this time. However. an in
teresting event was forthwith
planned for them and they
left Wednesday on a trip TO
the San Diego Exposition and
different towns along the
coast. There are about go
boys on this trip which lasts
about ten days and no doubt
this trip will supply them
with more real thrills and
enjoyment than the trip east.

the trip and was supplied
with n goodly number Of

Plow. 1t is very interesting

of this kind, and we doubt
if you have if you have not
seen this one. It is a power
full machine and equipped
with the conveniences of the
modern automobile. 1t fits
in on crop work from start
to finish, and really does a
lot of it. 1t pulls a wide
gang of breaking discs, six
middle busters, or cultiva-
tor plows for six rows, and
all it needs to complete the
job is a device for harvest
ing. II even has a starter
which eliminates the discom-
fort of getting down in the
hot sun and swinging on a
crank. They are now on
display at the Pinal Imple-
ment Company on East Cool
