Once upon a time there was an an
cient Quaker family by the name of
Collins. And they lived in the cjtjr of
Philadelphia and were a very sober,
steady-going lot, as all good .Quakers
should be.
And then Arthur Collins came alonr.
Arthur was determined on a stage ca
reer and even the beautiful vpice na
ture endowed him with was scarcely
excuse enough for his forsaking his
Quaker forefathers. But there had
evidently been enough serious ones in
the Collins family. It was up to Ar
thur to make the world laugh.
And so Arthur Collins went to JCew
York and became a light opera singer.
He appeared with D" Wolf Hopper ia
wang" and with Francis Wilson In
The Uon Tamer." Now he is known
far and wide as a delightful singer of
songs that make you laugh.
Annur Collins and his partner. Bv-
rcn Harlan, will give a concert at the
high school auditorium on January 26.
Their appearance promises to be one
of the finest entertainments Phoenix
has ever had.

HI FUEE
AT THEATER TODAY
Today at 2:30 o'clock is the regular
souvenir matinee- at the Elks theater
and In addition to the powerful western
play "The Squaw Man," which is being
"put over" so effectively by the Bran
don Stock company, there is tempting
ly beautiful surprise for all the lady
patrons in the shape of some new and
attractive souvenir importations. The
Wednesday matinees at the Elks have
grown to be the most popular event of
the week and it creates no surprise
when the class of attractions produced
by Brandon Stock company, is oooJA
ered. In fact, this season, the lack of
the road shows has not been noticed
for Brandon Brothers have installed a
company far superior to the average
road attraction and the mounting, cos
tuming, scenery and effects are above
the average for any road show.
This week's attraction, "The Squaw
Man,' is perhaps ' the most pretentious
offering of the season and is being
most capably handled and presented by
this ever popular company, and even
Into this intense and dramatic story
of the west, the musical numbers are
injected at Just the right spot to en.
hance the value and not detract from
the very interesting story. The peppy
and pretty chorus is seen in some very
charming, new, bright and catchy cos
tumes and adds much to the beauty and
enjoyment of the performance.
The cabaret tomorrow night willhavo
a chance to give the audience a world
of fun, pep, life and merriment, and all
the performers are working extra hard
to make the cabaret feature this week
a memorable one.
"The Squaw Man" runs for the bal
ance of the week with another popular
matinee and Saturday, and on Sunday
the new play opens introducing Miss
May Roberts to Phoenix playgoers.
Miss Roberts is the possessor of much
personal charm, attractiveness and a
world of ability. She will appear in
"The Sweetest Girl in Dixie." and will
be a most valuable addition to the
Brandon forces.
one, Osbert Gaunt, past 40 years on
life's road, has become an embittered
monomaniac, with but one thought,
and that to revenge himself upon the
woman who in his youth Jilted him
when she had an opportunity to marry
a wealthier man. The opportunity at
last presented itself through this wom
an's young and pretty daughter. Mis
judging and misunderstanding the girl,
Gaunt eventually persuades her to
marry him, and then plans to make her
life miserable to pay for the suffering
her mother's act caused him.
Pretty Elaine Hammerstein is seen
in the leading role, and her splendid
work as Virginia Mynors, the daughter
who pays, makes the plot development
logical and plausible. Because of things
he has seen, her husband thinks Vir
ginia is the same sort of person her
mother was, and he feels justified in
the punishment he had planned for her.
But when he finds that he was entirely
wrong in his analysis, he is contritely
sorry, and tries to make amends, only
to find It too late. Then develops a
very pretty and touching love story,
which, niter a great deal of splendid
drama, brings happiness to every one.
The story is superbly told and presents
a plot of original development.
This splendid picture was shown at
Mauk's Columbia theater yesterday, I yet attempted in pictures.
and will remain until tonight. It is the
first production featuring Miss Hant,
merstein in her 1920-1921 program, and
is said to far surpass anything she has

"Idols of Clav" at Strand
Today is the final day of the engage
ment of "Idols of Clay," George Vitz
maurice's third photoplay for Para
mount, in which Mae Murray and Da
vid Powell as the featured players. The
story is that of the romance between
a young girl of the South Seas and a
talented Londoner who has sought the
tropics in the effort to forget an un
fortunate love affair with one of the
butterflies of his set.
The romance begun under the warm
skies of the southern isles swings to
London, where in both the highest of
the British metropolis society elements
and the lowest of London tenements it
is unfolded, as climax after climax
builds to the tremendous denouement
which Ouida Bergere has written into
the story.
Tomorrow starts the two days' en
gagement of Douglas MacLean in "The
Jailbird," with "The- Penalty," starring
Lon Chaney as the underlined attrac
tion to start Saturday.

Bessie Barriscale at Hip
For the rext two days, starting: to
day, Bessie Barriscale will delight Hip
audiences with her presentation of
Robertson-Cole's feature, "The Woman
VN ho Understood."
A story of modem married life, the
theme takes for its characters two
souls with "artistic temperaments," one
a sculptress the other a violinist, giv
ing birth to the romance in the famed
"Greenwich Village." The" girl proves
a model wife, but the husband is un
able to forget the rule of the Bohemian
life until matters have advanced so far
that the relations between husband
and wife are greatly strained. It is
then that "the other woman" appears,
but her appearance is a blessing in
disguise 'rather than an obstacle to
married felicity. How the story un
folds, revealing a new twist to "the
eternal triangle," is a triumph not only
for the star but for every member of
the exceptional cast. The Christie
comedy is the added attraction.
Vaudeville at Ramont
Vaudeville and pictures continue as
the menu at the Ramona, where de
lighted crowds are daily taking advan
tage of the top notch program being
offered at regular house prices.
The vaudeville bill, as is usual with
the Ramona, is given over to variety
of specialties, snd wholesome enter
taining value. Magical and illusionist
tricks occupy a very prominent part
of the program, and the stunts always
prove a "knockout with the audiences.
The balance of the bill is divided be
tween novelties and musical offerings,
the entire program being augmented by
the screening of feature motion pic
tures.
Jack Pickford in "The Man Who Had
Everything" is the headline attraction
in the motion picture end of the show
Music Feature at Blue Bird
Wonderful music dispensed by Carrol
Reed's inimitable jazz band, a floor
that cannot be excelled anywhere, the
largest, roomiest, and most beautiful
dancing palace in the state of Arizona,
a refreshment service that is the em
bodiment of purity, cleanliness and
sanitation, ample and efficient check
room facilities, a wonderful seating ar
rangement, are all features which are
nightly- enjoyed by the happy crowds
who journey to the Blue Bird, where
clean dancing under the finest auspices
continues, as always, to be the policy.
Five cents is the price of dancing at
the temple of happiness, where the
strictest of supervision is always main
tained, guaranteeing clean amusement
at a price within the reach of all.
