Again in the name of outraged hygiene
find it my duty to protest against the
entire absence of ventilation OF our thea
ters. The system of freshenlng the AIR
now IN vogue at all the houses IS to open
doors and windows, creating diaft that
will blow your programme from your
hands or give you an infuneza. Usually
however, even this method is not avalled
Of and the result is an atmosphere that,

ductive of migrainc and lung disease.

patrons cannot get it they should stay at
home. Managers would then tumble
over themselves in their haste to intro

City Editor La Veen of the Express,
whose ponderous personality is only set
off by the occasional lightness OF his wit
and whose great fault is an sindispositlon
to treat other newspaper men fairly in
his paper when the Press club was alive,
wrote farce to be given for its benefit.
The club died before it could be benefit
ed and was deserted by all, even the
"kitty," and the affair was never pro-
duced.
Mr.. Percy Fepimore, the good looking
press agent of the Orpheum, heard OF the
farce ard has secured it for his house, and
it will soon be produced. If it is given in
the original shape there will be series OF
hully gee and wot tell from every well
known person in the city. for it it full OF
local gags and personalities.

Bob Scott, now playing an engage
ment at tthe Burbank theater, and Fred
A. Cooper, the popular manager OF the
same place of amusement, werej assocci-
ated together twenty-three years ago, and
at the time we've considered second to
none in their line of business-that of
comedians and song and dance artists.
These gentlemen have many friends in
this city, few of whom have seen them
in their palmy days. Their old accquaint,
nnces are prevailing upon the CELEBRATED
pioneer team to do a'turn or two" dur.
ing Mr.. Scott's stay in this city. There
is no doubt but the pleasant remem-
brances of the past and a little encourage
ment of bouquets and a budget Of recog-
milton would enable them to appear with
little variation. from what they were in
their prime. They have forgotten none of
tho old tactics. Their appearance would
assure crowded houses nightly, as they
would be whole show in themselve yes.
