Notes from Music and Drama.

Los Angeles will be the fourth city in
which The Girl l Left Behind Me has
been presented since its original produc-
tion more than year ago.
The stockade scene in the third act of
The Girl Left Behind Me, is said to be
one of the most intense and realistic
situations that has yet assumed stage
shspe.
The Girl Left Behind Me company
brings all the scenery and everything in
detail which was used at the Empire
theater, New York, during the success
full presentation there for 200 nights.

Wilson Barrett says that Americans
do not go to see Shakespeare plays

There seems to be some doubt about
Fred Cooper having secured the new

claimed that well-known manager in
this city has made bid for it. with
every prospect of securing it.
Fay Templeton will star in Madame
Favart under the management of George
Mcclellan, the husband OF Pauline

At Covent Garden, London, the pit

David Balasco, one of the authors of
The Girl Left Behind Me, is also the

Announcements.


Charles Frohman will present for a
week, commencing tomorrow night, at
the Los Angeles theater, what is claimed
to be one of the best American dramas
which has yet assumed sCage shape, The
Girl Left Behind Me. David Belasco,
one OF the authors, is we'll and favorably
known to stage literature as the author
of The Wife, The Charity Ball, etc., and
Franklin Fyles, his collaboration, is as
we'll known in the principal eastern cit
les as brilliant dramatic writer. The
company is the same as last appeared in
the Empire theater, New York produc.
tion, and Is said to be of unequivocal
excellence. Mrs. Berlau-Gibbe, who
enacts the heroine, has acquired emf
nence in New York by her forcible act
ing, beauty of person and high standing
as mem ber of the ewellest set OF that
city. This play was first produced over
year ago, andsince its original produc-
tion has only been presented in three
cities-in New York for 200 nights at the
Empire theater, in Chicago for 135
nights, and in San Francisco for four
weeks at the Baldwin theater, from
which city it comes direct to US for
weeks engagement and Saturday mat
inee.
The Girl Left Behind Me is dis
tinctly American play, dealing with the
American character only, and the incl
dtnts upon which it 10 based really hap
pened in the Indian country in Montana.
1t deals with daughter of general
who is located at the government post
of the United States army, who is be-
trothed to soldier she does not love
and ia loved by another soldier whom
she can not in loyalty to her noble
womanliness encourage. But, when the
latter is accused of cowardice by the
former her glorious qualities all rise
within her, and, putting aside all dread
of the future and basing her hopes on
right and justice. she boldly eende the
lover she likes but dare not accept on a
mission that means certain death. not
that he may die, but that he may by his
bravery wipe out the aspersion that has
been placed upon his character. Hos
tile, heartlsHs Indians are outside the
military post, through whose gates the
lover rides, leaving the girl who is all
the world to him behind him. She
fears that he may never return but she
hopes and prays. In the awful moment
when the Indians are about to force
their way into the garrison, the bugle OF
the regiment coming to the rescue is
heard, and in rushes heroic lover an
nouncing victory and rescue. The viii
famous fance soon unmarked and the
young couple who should never have
been permitted to feel single heart
pang, are made happy. The play is
divided into four actr, and throughout
is OF that kind which touches the heart
of fair women and quickens the pulse of
brave men. All the correct scenic en-
vironment and all the attention to detail
which has characterised the successful
presentation of the play elsewhere will
be seen in the forthcoming production
tomorrow night at the Los Angeles
theater, and and with it all signs fail
the week will be one of the most pros
porous as well as the most enjoyable of
the amusement season thus far.

And now, though it strip him and his
deeds of their last claim to romantic con-

Notwithstanding the scar across the cheek

LORD DUNRAVEN.
fiis Political Life Depicted in His Par
liamentary DoiHgs.

McCiure's Magazine.
Lord Dunraven took his seat In the
House of Lords as a supporter of Mr..
Gladstone. who subsequently offered him
a minor post In the Government. But at
that time the yonng traveller took but little
part in politics and so declined the ffatter-
ing invitation. His real entry into public
life, and, in fact, the foundation of his
subsequent career as a politician. are due
to an article which he wrote in the New
York World on Mr.. Gladstone's famous
attack on Lord Beaconsfeld. The
article obtained much attention at
the time and attracted the notice
of the Conservative chief, who was
much struck at the clever criticism
of the young Liberal peer. An acQuaint-
ance sprang up between Lord Beaconsfield
and the writer. which later on ripened into
friendship, and probably had something
to do with Lord Dunraven joining the
Conservative party.
His early speeches were chiefly on for
eign policy. and the intimate knowledge
he showed respecting treaties OF all kin ds
was an additional link between him ard
the leader of his new party. His favorite
theme was Egypt, and he rarely missed
an opportunity of condemniDg Mr. Glad
stones policy in respect to that country.
Later on he interested himself more es-
Decialy in colonial affairs. Here his per-
sonai acquaintance with the North Ameri-
can colonies stood him in good stead. and
gained him the ear of the House OF Lords.

People Losing Their Teeth From a
New Cause.
Washington Star

Washington Star
"People are losing their teeth from a
new cause nowadays" said dental sur
geOn. ''It is complaint which seems to
have become common only within the last
fifteen wears or so. Recession of the gums
1t is called. Tartar is deposited at an abb
normal rate, and this carbonate OF lime
secreted from the saliva pushes the gums
back from the teeth. After while. II
nothing Is done to prevent. the trouble gets
as far as the sockets, which become in
famed. Finally the teeth fall out.
"a weli-kDOwn statesman came to me
fourteen years ago with a bad case of the
disease. Every tooth in his head was
loose, and one of them was so far gone
that ! took it between my thumb and
finger and quietly lifted it out Within
three months had fixed him up so that all
the rest of his dental equipment was per-
fectly solid in his jaws. 1t was accom-
plIshed simply by removing the destruc-
tive tartar and preventing it from accGmu-
Iating again; also with the aid of "a little
medicine applied to the gums. The dis
tinguished patient of whom speak comes
to me every two or three months and
undpr!ops p little treatment. In that way
have Leea able TO keep his teeth for him
thus far.
1T is a very peculiar disease. N In case
so far advanced as the one | have described
it can hardly be cured. That Is to say, the
tendency to an accumulation of tartar cam
not be stopped. ALI that can be done is to
prevent it from accumulating by scraping
1t away at intervals and by medicinal ap-
pEcations to the gums. In an early stage.
however, the complaint is perfectly cura-
Bile and the tendency in most cases can be
overcome. But much care and continual
attention are required. Otherwise the
person will have lost some of his teeth by
the time he is 40 years old. and after that
the rest of them will 60 rapidly. The
making of false teeth has arrived at great
perfection, but at best they are poor SUBJ
Stitutes.
LAS have said, this may be regarded as
a new disease. At all events. it is only in
recent years that il has become prevalent.
1t is important that ueople's attention
should be called to it. From years to 20
care should be taken of the teeth less they
decay. There is little danger of that after
the twentieth year is passed. But from
tina. time on one should look out for tarter.
