Tonight Verdi's magnificent "Rigo
letto" will be presented, with three in
ternational stars in the leading roles,
Miss Consuelo Escobar, Vincente Eal
lester and Giuseppe Agostini.
With the San Carlo company par
ticular attention is paid to the chorus.
Gaetano Merola, musical director, in
sists that voices shall have first con
sideration, and that the chorus shall
have thorough training. He is just ns
careful with the orchestra, which has
been selected from the foremost or
ganizations of the world. So Phoenix
today, for the first time, will have the
opportunity of seeing performances
worthy the name of grand opera.
Even the big San Carlo grand opera
company at the Elks theater this
afternoon and evening will not deter
the work on the special production
of "The Man From Home," which
opens for a week starting tomorrow
matinee. The Elks stage is equipped
with a special paint frame and bridge
and the scenic artist, Ben Tipton, cai.
work unmolested while the big show
is on.
Mr. Tipton, who has delighted the
Elks patrons with his elaborate set
tings during the present engagement,
is making a special effort on "The
Man From Home," and promises the
most' complete and beautiful produc
tion that ever graced the Elks stage.
The play is one that admits of elab
orate settings. The scene is laid in
Sorrento, Italy, and a lavish -design
is passible. The stage crew has built
an exact duplicate of the original pro-

duction and all familiar with Ben
Tipton's work know that he will be
able to produce the proper colors and
effects.
The play brings Ray F. Brandon
back to the stage in the part of Daniel
Voihees Pike, a role he has essayed
many times, and with all the rest of
the favorites of the BranT.on stock
company in pleasing roles the holiday
week at the Elks should be the most
delightful one of the entire season.
"The Man From Home" perhaps is
the -best work of those famous co
authors, Booth Tarkington and Harry
Leon Wilson, who have contributed so
many gems to the dramatic and lit
erary stage. It has a story of deep
absorbing interest yet full of rich
wholesome comedy, the kind where the
laughs, often chase away the tears.
The same prices will prevail
throughout the engagement and the
production will run for the entire
week, with popular matinees on Sun
day, Wednesday and Saturday. Seats
may be reserved for any performance.
Keep Your Eye on Eddie
Eddie is a boy of whom compara
tively little has been heard simply be
cause he is not one given to blowing
! his own horn. Those who see him as
Chet Todd, the strong, simple country
boy in "Down Home," showing for the
last times today and tonight at
Mauk's Columbia theater, will agree,
however, that he might well blow it
and blow it hard. For Edward Hearn
has marked ability and a personality
that embodies all of the qualities
necessary to the term, "screen mag.
neti'sm."
As Chet Todd, the upright, lovable
youth who figures as the hero in
Frank N. Westcott's "Dabney Todd,"
the novel from which "Down Home"
was adapted, Ed Hearn will complete
ly win your heart. You will watch
with eager interest his development
from a blacksmith's apprentice to the
up-to-date small town business man
he ultimately becomes. From the first
moment when, dressed in a rough
flannel shirt and leather breeches, he
cries to the unscrupulous young vil
lain who works everybody and every
thing or his own ends: "I ain't got
your manners, Larry Shayne. your
f?tore clothes or your money but I'm
not givin" her up yet," to the time
when he, too, has "store clothes," and
a growing bank account and an honest
business as well, you are in sympathy
with this rugged splendid boy.
Ramona
An enjoyable Christmas awaits the
patrons of the Ramona in the program
arranged by "Mack's Merry Mermaids,"
who will offer a rollicking, happy con
coction of music and mirth, built for
laughing purposes only.
With Dolly Fowler .Anita Meredith,
Pat Patterson and the "Delightful
Dancing Dollies' 'all with important
roles, with Victor Vernon and "the
three of us," all contributing im
measurably to the genuine success of
the present bill, one is guaranteed real
entertainment.
The feature picture program leads
off with Gladys Brockwell in "A Sister
to Salome," and is augmented by a se
lected program of added features em
bracing both western drama and comedy.

ter than any literary success of Its
kind of recent years, "Rebecca of Sun
nybrook Farm" lends itself admirably
to motion pictures and in the hands
of Mary Pickford the character is so
excellently done, so brilliantly inter
preted, that it sema the nrie-innl Re
becca has leaped from the pages of the
dook to again review her life for the
followers of motion pictures.
, On the same program Hoot Gibson
is starring m A Two Fisted Lover,'
a stirring western drama. Tomorrow
begins the engagement of the Para
mount special, "Held by the Enemy."
The Strand
As its Christmas feature the Strand
is offering Ethel Clayton in a very
appealing story of love and sacrifice
"The Ladder of Lies." The picture will
close its engagement with the final
showings tonight.
Those who saw it yesterday were
enthusiastic in their praise of its be
ing as fine a picture as Ethel Clayton
has ever done. The story is thorough
ly modern and decidedly human. It
reveals the experience of a young
woman illustrator whose best friend
has married a shallow creature, who
treats her marriage vows in the light
est fashion. In the spirit of saving her
mend from unhappiness the girl as
sumes the blame for several escapades
which involve another man, and in so
doing threatens to wreck her cwn
happiness. Her noble sacrifice proves
the incentive for the guilty persons to
vindicate her.
Tonight, also, sees the close of the
"Who's Who" contest which the Strand
haa been conducting for the last week.
The prizes will be distributed just as
quickly aa the winners can be ascer
tained from the hundreds of blanks
which have been filed in the contest.
Tomorrow starts the engagement of
liODart Bosworth in "Below the Sur
face," likewise the week of the pic
tures which will disclose the identities
of those who puzzled all Phoenix in
the "Who's Who in Phoenix" contest,
place Thursday at the camp in the
Fowler district, where the company is
engaged in road construction.
The event will be unique in the his
tory of the club, and it is understood
that practically the entire membership
will take the opportunity of attending
the affair. All those who wish to ac
cept the invitation have been requested
by the president of the club to notify
Mrs. Lloyd Christy before o'clock
Tuesday afternoon. Automobiles will
be provided for the luncheon party,
which will leave the club house at 11
o'clock.
