MAUK'S , THEATER 3 Acts of Big Time VAUDEVILLE DIRECT FROM GRAUMAN'S irf LOS ANGELES FIRST TIME IN PHOENIX! Visions D'Art Most unique posing act ever presented here. Wonderful lighting ef fects enhancing beauty of living models.

So many features bring them selves to the fore in this production that it is difficult to know where to start even an announcement that will cover the scope reachPd in this drama. Sir Arthur Wing Pinero wrote "The Truth About Husbands," under the title of "The Profligate." and he scored a brilliant success in the achievement. It has been said by the literary and dramatic critics that in this work Pinero actually out satirizes Bernard Shaw. Again, the story is a very vital one, a discussion in the broadest kind of treatment a question that confronts every wife. There are no issues evadpd, it is a fiatfooted presentation of the case of husband versus responsibility before and after marriage. It Is based on three salient facts. First the assumption that man is not born to marriage, but that he achieves it as a condition in life, a sort of graduation from earlier false ideals end relationships. Second, the as TONIGHT AND MONOAY SPECIAL PROGRAM NO ADVANCE IN PRICES Orley lies Concert Pianist "Staccato Caprice' Vogrich "Nocturne" lies "Cholla Dance" Homer Grunn THURSDAY COLUMBIA ORCHESTRA PRIZMA COLOR FILM theater last season and only recently sumption is made that every male animal learns the lesson of life before marriage, and that somebody has to pay for the experience. Third, that after marriage many a man faces the problem f protecting his wife from a menace he himself created in the days of bachelorhood. There is- no double btandard with Arthur Wing Pinero. He holds the husband as ac countable as the wife. He dares to discuss truths which every wife fears, but often dismisses with the assump tion that it is the "nature of the animal." Many pictures have been made, with themes, blaming the wife, here is one which lays the responsibility squarely at the door of the husband. and then sets about and in the most pointed way proves that the respon sibility rests exactly where it be longs. He takes his characters from the average walk of life. He draws his .people with the strokes of ac tuality, there is no theory In "The Truth About Husbands." in short, it is Sir Arthur Wing Pinero at his best. ' The Rlalto is screening the produc tion without advance in prices, and is urging attendance during the matinee showings. The announcement Is made that a complete line of added attractions. Including the News and a comedy, will complete the program. o African natives work in pairs pull ing passenger carts, while a single man draws a Japanese Jinriksna. o Japan's agricultural land amounts to 25 per cent of its total area.
