DICE AT BLUE BIRD
Laona Graham is in town to fulfill
an engagement at, the Blue Bir,d start -
:ig tonight and continuing throughout
the balance of the week, presenting an
act that to those familiar witlvvaude-
ille will immediately recognize as a
headline attraction throughout every
circuit of the country. Famed in the
atrical circles as the original Ha-
waian Nude Truth girl, her special en
gagement by the Blue Bird is an ex
treme stroke of good fortune for the
dancers of Phoenix, for it offers them
the opportunity to witness a dancing
specialty that will prove the most pre
tentious attraction a local dancing! em
porium has ever featured.
Laoria Graham, born in Honolulu,
reared and educated there, Is a girl of
striking beauty, who has been a dancer
since childhood. Specializing in danc
ing of tho aesthetic type, she has like
wise been accredited by the best au
thorities of being the most accom
plished exponent of native Hawaiian
and Oriental dancing the vaudeville
circuits have ever known. During her
engagement at the Blue Bird she will
each evening offer several numbers,
each one in costume, and each one an
alluring personification of the sym
phony of the dance beautiful.
Her . special wardrobe is being
shipped from the Pantages theater by
express, she coming direct to the city
from her engagement at that famous
temple of vaudeville in the coast city.
The announcement is made that de
spite the importance of this engage
ment the Blue Bird will not advance
the admission price. Her numbers will
occur at several times during the even
ing, and doubtless the Blue Bird will
be packed by the lovers of the light
fantastic during this engagement of an
act that has never failed to score the
biggest hit on any vaudeville bill on
which it has appeared.

Harry Carey in "Bullet Proof" as its
attraction for three days starting to
day. Harry Carey is one of the most
beloved western actors on the screen
and his pictures are always relished
by the fan who goes in for adventure
stories, and theme of rapid fire ac
tion, thrilling suspense, and amazing
escaoades. In "Bullet Proof the lover
of western stories has everything to
his liking. Its story is one containing
unlimited possibilities for the star.
who is supported by an excellent cast
of players. The atmosphere of the
early western plains is successfully
transplanted to the silver sheet, and
finds Carey in a story that maintains
his reputation to the utmost. The
Christie comedy i3 the added attrac
tion for this program.

"Rnmofhinsr tn Think About" is at-

with each day of the engagement. Far
reaching in its influence, the produc
tion differs from anytninjr ever oe-

theatres during the engagament. The
principal roles are in the hands 01

Blue Bird
The announcement of the Movie
Actor's ball, to be celebrated next Fri
day evening at the Blue Bird certainly
caused a stir in the dancing circles of
the city. The event is absolutely orig
inal and entirely novel. The scheme Is
for the participants to make them
selves up to resemble someone In the
movies and to the gentleman and llKe
wise to the lady who, in the opinion of
the Judges, comes closest to the per
son they represent, will go the prizes
which the management announces will
be real surprises, and something that
cannot but be appreciated by the win
rers. Here's the chance for the as
pirants for the screen to demonstrate
their sincerity. Remember the old
saying, "little purrs or powder, little
daubs of paint, make the movie actress
look like what she ain't," and try out
your knowledge of make-up. It's go
ing to be one of the biggest nights the
Blue Bird has seen which is only an
other way of stating it will be one of

WILLOW
American
They are all here, the artists who
will compose the new big band at the
American for the remainder of the gay
dancing season in Phoenix. The arm
load of strings and fingers in the
shape of a banjo demon came in for
the final rehearsal yesterday and was
very much on the1 Job last night, and
the lad who Is going to blow a nesty
trumpet will be on deck for the first
long blast tonight, making a complete
band and the best that ever nit this
section by far. American dancing fol
lowers have been inquiring of the
management all season asking if it
would ever be possible to get the
original six band that played the sea
son at the American last year, but
Manager Street even went them one
better and got the original six plus
some' more which is more good for
tune than any of the dancing patrons
had expected. No additional plans for
a season of Joy at the dancing palace
need be made for the arrangements
are complete for the season. You'll
see more dancing delight at the
American this winter than Tias ever
been imagined in Phoenix. Get out
to the American tonight early for the
old gang Is on Its toes and anxious to
show the old pep that you were so
wild about last season.
Because ot its decision, expressed at
the recent bond election, to expend
(655,000 in extending and Improving
the water, sewer and fire prevention
systems. Phoenix will be called upon
to pay a tax increase of 8 cents on the
$100, according to an unofficial esti
mate of Mayor Plunkett yesterday. He
estimated that the city will have a
$50,000,000 valuation on the next as
sessment roll.
Following out the figures, it was dis
closed that had the entire bond issue
carried, the increased taxation would
have been a small fraction over 12
cents on the $100. According to this
estimate, by voting to add another 4
cents on the $100, Phoenix could have
realizen an enlarged paving program,
and extended and improved park and
playground system, a new city hall
building and remodeling of the present
structure, and a $100,000 state armory.
Official canvass of the-v votes cast
on the bond issues will take place
Dec. 13. However, as there was a very
light vote cast, it is not expected that
the canvass will reveal any material
change in the unofficial figures.
Regarding the park and playground
system, the new city hall and other
civic improvements which have been
long1 under consideration. Mayor Plunk
ett said that an ordinance was being
prepared which calls for the formation
of a city planning commission with a
membership of about 100 representa
tive civic workers. This commission
will work In conjunction with the firm
of Bennett & Parsons, the professional
city planners who have been retained
by Phoenix to assist in formulating
ideas for the general development of
the city.
According to the mayor, this commis
sion probably will be called upon to
consider any future proposed bond Is
sues for civic improvements before the
vote of the general public is requested.
Under euch a schedule needed im
provements will be fully outlined by
this firm which will submit the report
to the city planning commission. This
commission then will make its rec
ommendation to the city commission. It
is believed that by this method the
general attitude of the people will be
known before any ordinance calling for
a bond election will be passed.
Admitting the city hall, and' espe
cialy the jail and police department,
was in a deplorable condition, none of
tho city officials interviewed yester
day could suggest a remedy. They
pointed out that as the people of the
city voted against expending any money
in this direction it would not be ad
visable for the city commission to in
clude such improvements in the budget
for the ensuing year. Because of the
cramped conditions now endured in the
police department the suggestion was
made, and probably will be carried out,
that a basement coal bin be cleaned out
to serve either for the office of the
chief of police or as a municipal court
At the present time police court is
held in the private office of Chief
Brisbois. This arrangement handi
caps both the court officials and the
police department.
Officials were ot the general opinion
yesterday that no more bond elections
for city improvements will be held very
soon.

RADIO FOR RIVER BOATS
The day of the jintrle bell and man
ual steering in steamboating on the
Mississippi Kiver having given way t
electric buzzers and power steering by
levers, now comes tho wireless ns a
means of operation.
The war department has shipped
from Washington wireless outfits to
bo set up in St. Ixuis, Memphis and
New Orleans and upon the six tow
boats which will comprise the new ex
perimental power fleet for the St.
Louis-New Orleans barge operation.
Grounding on a bar 'will no longer
mean a walk of many miles from the
bank to the nearest telegraph station
to summon assistance. The "S. O. S"-4r
will go out by radio from the boat la
self. A wet summer Is healthy because the
rain washes the air and flushes germ
laden dust away.
Viola Dana at the Columbia
As its special feature attraction the
Mauk's Columbia theater will show
"The Willow Tree," the super-produc-
costume creations do so much toward
the success of the show; there Is a
very pretty little love story and the
laughter comes from the audience in
wave on wave, in fact, the laughs come
so fast that many of the audience are
still holding their sides when they are
leaving the theater.
This week Marie Rich, the new lead
ing woman, is the new feature and this
dainty little actress is a real feature.
She has already won many friends and
is going to be immensely popular with
the Elks patrons.
Tomorrow will be the regular sou
given to each lady present, and Thurs
day night will be another cabaret night
a weekly feature that is now looked
forward to with eager anticipation.

What do we want of road shows, so
long as Brandon Brothers continue to
furnish the class of attractions that
they are offering with their stock com
pany at the EHks theater? The con
census of opinion is that the theater
patrons are profiting by the scarcity
this season. In the matter of cast,
production and the selection of plays
the Brandon Stock company furnishes
a better evening's entertainment than
the great majority of the road shows
that favor Arizona with a visit.
The present production "Why Grow
Old?" is exactly as advertised, an ex
hilerating comedy of youth, life, love
and laughter. Youth is combined with
beauty and gaiety in that dashing
