the Los Angeles theater this week.
Jake has been in the theatrical business

of Uncle Toms Cabin at Wallack

Lawyer Marks AS Aronson would eat
70 fat meat save roast goose, it was de-

retribution to have him chased across
the floating ice by flock of live geese.
The play made great hit with the
Baxter street people, who crowded the
house nightly.
The Orpheum has been crowded every
night during the week and tine BUD
get of attractions was offered. the peo-
ple of LosAngeles cannot see or hear too
much of Charley Ward and the remark
able feat of the Kins-nerS has nightly
called forth rousing bumpers of ap-

Speaking of Roland Reed recalls to
mind his remarkable versatility. Reed
has played in all the branches of the
profession. Many years ago we recall
his excellent work in burlesque when
associated with "Dickie" Lingard.
Alice Hastings, Alf. Mafiin and other
well-known gay burlesquers. Roland
has the happy faculty of adaptabillty,
and has scored some notable successes
of late years.
1t is announced that we will have the
famous I.oie Fuller with us during the
season. La Loie has made half mil

which can best be described as the

DISINFECTED KISSES,
Science Comes to the Aid Of Love and
Takes the Sting Out Of Pleasure.

lakcS the Stlng Out OF treasure.
From the st. Louis Republic.
The gratitude of lovers is due Dr..
Hurty, of the Indiana state board of
health. for extrcating the sting of fear
from the kiss of love.
Scientists have been trying to dis
courage the pleasant practice of sip
ping the nectar from the lips of love
and beauty by intimating that mixed
with the honey were swarms of horrid
bacteria that were likely to give the
Slippers any kind of an old thing in
the way of complaints from a bad cold
to case of diphtheria.
Although we believe that there are
lovers who will tell the scientists and
their bacteria to go to blazes and will
take theic nectar at the risk of life and
limb, yet the information is disturb
ing and tends to emhitter the honey
and take the edge off the relish. There
is fly in the precious ointment of
loves delight, and the courts of sweet
dalliance are haunted by the specters
of the sick room.
But DR.. Hurry has shown how all of
these spectres may be driven away and
mortal men may again revel in the
sweets of the ruby lip. as they did in
the old days when ignorance was bliss
He says all that Is necessary to make
kissing healthful is to carefully wash
the mouth with a disinfectant before
indulgence in the luxury.
This simplifies matters for lovers. All
they need to do is to make free use of
disinfectants and they can hit the lips
as often as they please. OF course. the
first question when a man calls on his
sweet love will be, Have you disinfect-
ed?" and IL the answer Is mutually
