THE POLITE WORLD

There has. been such an exodus to the
mountains and seashore the past two
weeks that there are few left to keep the
giddy whirl of society in motion. and
during the quiet summer afternoons as
one takes his siesta it would not be a
bad idea to expose the sensitive palate OF
their conscience and take retrospective
view OF their sins of omission and COM
mission by ana against each and every
one of us in the ''polte world" (O. Rus
kin says that there are but two faults in
social life-idleness and c4uelty, but these
two cover such a multitude Of minor sins
that they could be divided into infinites-
imaily small parts and each stand promi-
nent as a vice to be avoided. The fomi-
nine portion of society is especially given
to cruelty. but my lady's reason is
welded with such nicety and with such
a delicate touch OF sarcasm that her stabs
are not always apparent. except to the
one tor wnom they are meant.
The ways OF woman are passing
strange, and the tactics used to stand
re-eminent in everything are varied as
they are amusing. With girl-and es-
pecially debutante-her one desire
above all others is for people to know she
is popular, and this fact she wants to be
realized by her male friends.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Orpheun.-ln these fin de steele uays
theater-goers demand novelty and origin
ality from the people who amuse them.
The prevailing fancy, not only in this
country but abroad. is for vaudeville, and
like most fashions that are for the mo-
ment admired and quickly forgotten, the
popular amusement grows in favor as the
public becomes better acquainted with its
delights.
There is more artistic ability, more wit,
originality and cleverness displayed by
the high class vaudeville artists OF the
actors of the so-called legitimate stage.
The speeches that gain applause for the
latter are written for him. while the
specially artist must originate for him
self. He must not be an imitator, mere
purpet speaking another's words, but a
genius with an ability to create char.
acter distinct from everything else.
The vaudevilles are the big money
makers in the theatrical world today.
Some OF them, the greatest, receive as big
a salary as the president, and there are
many who earn more in year than the
great operatic singers. Since the Or
pheum opened the Los Angeles public
some OF the big vaudeville attractions
and the best performers of the world are
booked to appear here during the COM
ing season.
A complete change oi bill is announced
for tomorrow night, when six new artists
are to make their first appearance.
Among them are two of Director Gen =
eral Waters most recent European i'm
portations, the Savans, famou duo of
acrobats and equlibrists from the Berlin
Wintergarten. The Savans are brother
and sister. and were trained in their act
from infancy. The brother possesses
prodigous strength. He sustains his
sister upon one hand, holds chalr in
his mouth while she balances upon it.

AT THE THEATERs

Pinafore at the Los Angeles theater on
Friday made the old feel young. and the
eung wish they had been old enough to
near it in its youth. 1t was charmingly
sung, Miss Padgham, Miss Holmes and
Mr.. Huntlev form o trio OF twinkling
stars.
The plan is to take the company to
Catalina and give performance with the
Hermosa for the stage and the pier Tor an
auditorium. The opera has never been
Setter played here since the days OF Old
turner hall, now the Orland lodging
/ ouse, but then on the site Of Mr..
Perry's music hall. Then Miss Mamie
Perry was the st-voiced, most engag-
ing Josephine, Madame Mara the most
piquant. plump, pert Little Buttercup.
and Mr.. Seymour Locke the most impos-
Ing Captain Corcoran imaginable. Then
there was iendishly happy Deadeye.
and q most impressive Sir Joseph, whose
names l cannot recall, but who deserve
enrolment.
These were gala nights. All Los An
geles was there and everybody knew every
body else, SO that all the intimacy OF a
meeting of a sewing society, or church
social added to the enjoyment. The hall
was seated with straight backed chairs,
with solid wood seats, Martin Lehman
was the only stage manager in the city
and the once famous Owl club was not yet
hatched. That was the first heard of
Pinafore, but the last of the merry, in
nocent little opera wi not be heard until
the happening OF some tremendously dis
tant event such as the blowing OF Ca
briels trump or the building Of the Salt
Lake railway.
A performance Of As You Like 1t. with
cast composed exclusively Of ladies OF
Los Angeles to sustain both the male and
female characters, is in preparation for
performance at the Los Angeles theater
on the 18th of August. Similar perform
ances have already been given with good
success in New YORK and London, but
Los Angeles will be the first city IN the
west to attempt it, and Judging by the
enthusiasm already displayed by the fair
participants, it promises to be big sue
cess.
The cast is almost complete and rehear-
sails have alreay commenced under the di-
rection OF Mr.. p. J. Duggan. who is well
versed in the Shakespearean drama.

The premium list was taken up ut
the department of horses and it was
decided that there must be more
money put into the list. There ap-
peared to be no necessity for the in
crease of the size of the premiums, but
all the members thought it advisable to
increase the number of classes. Hith-
e1-to it has been customary. for in
stance. to classify cobs and hackneys
under the same head. and in this
there would certainly be injustice done
to either the one class or the other.
1t was decided to divide the classes.
and the standard set there was held
through the entire revision, with the
result hat there are many more premi-
ums offered for subdivision of classes.
The footings were not made and the
total amount Of the premium list is
not vet a~acertained, but It will ga be-
.yond that Of last year, and at the same
time insure a very large increase in the
number and diversity of the entries.
