* If there was one thing of which Mrs. Julian
was firmly convinced, it was that "she could
not hear over long distance.”
Even the thought of attempting it discon-
certed her.
So her daughter was not surprised one eve-
ning, after the telephone bad rung, to hear
her call excitedly:
"Dorothy! It’s long distance—Philadel-
phia! You take the call. You know I can’t
hear over long distance."
Dorothy smiled. “Yes you can, mother,
if you 1st yourself. It's as easy as any other
call. Try it."
Mrs. Julian shook her head, but turned
again to the telephone.

Grey Thriller Filmed
The Davis Mountains’ and an
early day gang of Texas outlaws
form the background of “The
Last of the Duanes," Zane Grey
story now running at the Ma-
jestic.
George O’Brien aa the he-man
of the wide open spaces displays
some good horsemanship.
The story is little different
from the other Zane Grey offer-
ings. But it is good—any writer
must be good to have the follow-
ing Grey does.
There are also four good acts
of vaudeville and a war comedy
that is a comedy. George Arthur
and Karl Dane are seen In their
first abort comedy, "Men Without
Skirts," and it takes you back to
their full-grown pictures in which
they evoked oodles of laughter.
Eddie Nelson gets the biggest
hand on the vaudeville, bill. His
is a sidesplitting farce—a mono-
log except for a cop at the begin-
ning. Enos Frazere does some
I poetical wisecracking as he swings
high above the heads of the au-
dience.

Small Capacity of Playhouse
Makes Demand
- Vigorous
Little Theater Week opened
Monday morning with distribution
of scrip books for the coming
season already well under way.
Many former subscribers order-
ed their tickets a week or more
before the distribution really be-
gan, according to Jim Avery, In
charge of the distribution. The
committee expects redoubled in-
terest in the community theater
this year, and it is believed the
books will be distributed in a
abort time.
Limited seating capacity of the
playhouse on West Tucker Street
necessitates that only a limited
number of books be sold, but the
committee Is anxious that every
person in the city be given the op-
portunity of subscribing.
The scrip books entitle the
holder to see seven plays for $5,
if they are purchased during the
next week. Members of the com-
mittee will be at the box office all
during the week to receive orders,
either personal or by telephone.
Under present arrangements,
the Little Theater will present the
only legitimate shows scheduled
here this Winter. Altho the names
of the productions have not yet
been announced, it is known that
an unusually good assortment of
manuscripts has been collected by
Neil P. Savage, who obtained
them in New York this Summer.
Mr. Savage also was able to make
advantageous royalty arrange-
ments with the New York prodae-
ers,. enabling him to obtain plays
which usually are too expensive
for community, theater produe-
tlon.
Director Cameron King is cast-
ing the first play now, and an-
nouncement of the title and the
cast is expected soon. '

Undoubtely there are. Long distance ser-
vice has improved so rapidly in the last few
years that those who have not used it recently
cannot be expected to know how much like
local service it is.
But the “proof lies in the eating." One
actual call will tell you more about the ease,
speed, and clarity of long distance than we
could in a whole book.
For long distance ia not only clear.
, It’s speedy. In most cases you
are connected with the distant
telephone while you hold the
line, particularly if you can give
