PAGE EIGHT THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 14, 1921 n Theaters STECK NUKES HIT IfJ IRISH COilDY One of the most charming and vari able bits of feminism to be imagined, Vilma Steck as Kathleen of Kildare. playing this week at the Elks, is a whole show in herself. Probably she has never won greater sympathy from her audience or moved them so swiftly from laughter to tears and back to laughter again, than in this comedy-drama of the invasion of New York society life, ' by a breezy little Irish girl with a gun, from Po catello, Idaho. - Del Lawrence, as the husband of the woman who thinks the welfare of her "soul" takes her lrvo the apartment of a man whose company Blue Bird Club DANCING The Crack Orchestra of the State. Ask those who were there last night A BIG ONE IS COMING Mayf ield teaches dancing has been forbidden her, is altogether J an jnieresLiiis oitm i .v . lng to be desired. Ida Mae Golze as the wife was pretty and convincing in a difficult and exacting role. This clever Phoenix young woman is re vealing a remarkable talent, none the less to be appreciated because it is a 'home product." Much praise can be given to Jay Allard for his handling of the part of "'Foror," the wayward son who is lovable in spite of, or is it because of, his waywardness. May Roberts is splendid as usual in the part of the mother, and Billy Billings ley shines as the English manservant Victor Gillard la perfect in the part of Barlow, . the suave man of the world, who makes love to his women clients because they seem to expect it and he doesn't want to disappoint them. The story of the play is ab sorbingly interesting, and the devel opment of the plot not altogether new to the stage, is fresh, breezy and entertaining from start to .finish. "BEYOFf THE LAW" AT THE PLAZA TODAY For tomorrow the management of the Plaza theater-has secured "Be yond the Law," the picture which so truly portrays the outlaw life, of the famous Dalton Brothers who terror ized the states of Oklahoma and Kansas from 1889 to 1892.

Not unlike many other outlaw gangs there came a day when they chose the wrong place at the wrone time.

Dalton gang, and that is Emmett who lived to tell the story. Emmett Dalton, the only surviving member of the gang says, "Don't try KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES-Some Shock! - By Pop Momand WHAT!
