Mapleson at Her Majesty's theater. He

The past weeks theatrical itinerary
1n Los Angeles has been an interesting
one in several respects. The Los An
geles theater opened Monday night
with a benefit to Miss May Nannary,
which was well patronized; Mr. Royle's
company followed for the remainder
of the week. presenting Captain Impu-
!dence and Friends. in most accept
able manner OF the first play it can
well be said that it is unquestionably
one OF the best American productions
that has been seen here in years. The
comedy is bright and sparkling, and
the melodramatic touches full of force
and feeling. In these days of whole
loale adaptations from the French and
German playwrights. the work of Mr..
Royle comes with all the refreshing eff
feet of cloud of rain in the heat of
harvest time. His work in both of the
plays stamps him as writer of more
than ordinary ability and promise. ana
let US hope that he will not let his pen

Agent J. j. Rosenthal is in town
ahead of Roland Reed,who Will play at
the Los Angeles theater this week.
Jake has been in the theatrical business
for 10, these many years, and was large
ly instrumental in the success OF Inc
Little Tycoon a decade ago. 1t was
Jake who gave the original production
of Uncle Toms Cabin at Wallacks
old theater New York, in the early SOS
Jake played Uncle Tom and Rudolph
Aronson, then just landed played
Lawyer Marks. AS Aronson would eat
TO fat meat save roast goose, it was de-
cided as a sort of poetic compensatory
retribution to have him chased across
the floating ice by a flock of live geese.
The play made a great hit with the
BaXter-street people, who crowded the
house nightly.
The Orpheum has been crowded every
night during the week and fine bud
get of attractions was offered. the peo-
pie 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 dp-
plause.
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. Maflin and other
well-known gay burlesquers Roland
has the happy faculty of adaptability,
and has scored some notable successes
of late years.
1t is announced that we will have the
famous Loie Fuller with us during the
season. La Loie has made half mil
lion in her new-fangled skirt dance,
which can best be described as the
apotheosis of all dancing. She is draw
ing $4,000 a night in staid, sober Phila-
delphia, and will take the coast by
storm. Not many years ago Miss Full
Ter was playing the modest part of Us
tame in dramatization of She for $50
rer week, but the times have changed.
Los Angeles audiences are often
quoted by members of the theatrical
profession as being cold, which is a
most unjust accusation, as has been
proved here scores of times. The Los
Angeles theater going public is, how
ever,a discriminating one, and is not al
! ways pleased by the attempts at enter
tainment that are successful in the east.
Our theater goers look for genuine mer-

ger of Friends and Mexico.
Henry E. Dixey has been engaged by
Charles Frohman to appear at the head
of cast engaged for New York pro-
duction this month. The piece is
called Thoroughbred, and was origi-
nally presented at Toole's theater, Lon
don Mr.. Dixey will play the part first
done by Mr.. Toole.
A good deal of fun has been invented
out of the fact that Melba and Calve,
the famous prime donno, are learning
to ride the bicycle in Chicago. They
promise to give their first public exhi-
btion as bicyclists when they return to
New York. AT present they do all
their riding and falling off in the Sc
culsion of their hotel rooms.
The popularity of MaggieCline among
the swell set was fully illustrated last
Thursday. when Senator Calvin S.Brice
was wiring to nearly every place of
amusement in New York, wanting to
engage her to appear at a reception
given by his wife in Washington last
Friday night. Miss Cline was at Tampa
! Bay, Florida. where she has been the
past ten days, and could not reach
Washington in time for the reception.

Queer Sign In New York.

Some more queer signs have been dis

abound. One of these signs reads: La

that the leap year privilege really does
exist elsewhere than In the imagination

sign is found on the east side. 1t reads:

Substitute for Corn Cobs

A new kind of pipe, which is said to be
sweeter and in many ways superior to the
corncob or any other inexpensive pipe
now on the market. is to be made in Ne
vada county, California. from the burrs
which grow on the pine trees in that sec
ton. The pine burr pipes are said TO re-
main freer from nicotine than any other
and they have long been used locally. A
factory has been started to manufacture
the pipes for the general market, some
one having taken out a patent on the
pipe.

GONE FROM HIS HOME
frankie McClelland, 8 Years Old, Is
Missing Since Tuesday.
HIS PARENTS ARE WORRIED
The Father Believes That He Is on
aFoot Journey to His Grand
mother, Who nesides In
Deer Lodge.

For the second time little frankie Nc
ClelIand has caused her motehr and faith
er to suffer mental anguish. MI. anu
Mrs. d. F. McClelland live on Ash street
On Tuesday frankie, who Is only years
old, went to the Lincoln school ana mas
not returned to tell her parents that ms
teacher kept him in as punishment Tor
mischief that he was guilty OF the oay
before in playing hockey"
1t appears that the young boy was
afraid to go back to his teacher, fearing
consequences that he probably knows
more about than any one OUTSIDE OF the
school room. No doubt his fears were en-
larged when he considered the probable
result of a meeting with his parents TO
explain his trouble with his tutor.
Mr.. McClelland inclines to the BELIEF
that his boy has started on foot Jour-
ney to his grandmothes, who resides In
Deer Lodge. A year ago. while his moth-
er was living in Deer Lodge, just before
she came to this city to join her husband,
who was and is still working here. the
child nourished a grievance against his
maternal parent and carried out his threat
to decamp by coming here to his father.
Inquiry among his little companions sets
all kinds of stories ahoat. One boy says
frankie told him that he was going to
Deer Lodge to see his grandma, Mrs.
Nancy McClelland. Others say they saw
him about town late in the afternoon and
many become visionary as soon as their
judgment is appealed to and tell stories
that are as far from plausible as the
youngster is from home.
The parents are heartbroken, the moth
err is grief-stricken. and neighbors and
friends are exerting themselves in what
seems to be fruitless search The faith
er's fear is that he has wandered from
the road and may be suffering from ex-
posture, while he firmly believes that the
boy is making for Deer Lodge. His home
is one that he should not want to shun,
as his parents have always treated him
kindly.
When he left frankie wore an ordinary
dark suit of clothes. a yellowish striped
cap. His hair is light brown, slightly
curly. and his eyes are blue.

Grimth's Faust.

A large audience witnessed the dra-
matte version of Goethes Faust" at
the Evans opera house last night. The
performance was very loudly applaud
ed in almost every scene. Griffith be-
ing the center figure, the Mephisto was,
as he deserved to be, appreciated by
frequent rounds of applause.
The company is very much better
than the one of last season. Miss Ger
tie Lodge, a most clever actress In COM
&c opera, who has appeared here with
several opera companies and always in
a prominent part. showed her versatil-
ity by her splendid acting of Martha.
The company leaves for Butte this
morning.
Between the fourth and fifth acts of
Faust" Manager Mcguire appeared
before the curtain and very pleasantly
impressed the audience that Mr.. James
ONeill would be with us for two
nights. Mr.. Mcguire spoke of the new
play, THE Lyons Mail" and of Monte
Cristo," which, said the speaker, is
identified as much with James O'Neill
as is RIP Van Wrinkle" with Joseph
jefferson, and further that Mr.. O'Neills
performances would be one of the
greatest treats OF the season.

THE COURIER OF LYONS.
A Thrilling True story of Mistaken Iden-
tity Dramatixed.


The time of the Directoire In 1896 was
a period when Justice was melted out
quickly to offenders OF all classes and all
stations. Unhappy as this circumstance
may have been TO the innocent, its ex-
istence at that time is responsible for
The Courier of Lyons" the new play in
which Mr.. O'Neill has met with such
overwhelming success and of the presid-
ing magnitude that Lesurques, a charac-
ter in real life. came very near being ex-
ecuted for a murder committed by Du-
bose, a famous criminal and a real one,
whom Lesurques had the misfortune TO
resemble. In the real story Lesurques
was guillotined. although innocent, be-
cause justice did not find out her mistake
until IL was too late. But that ending
would not OF course, do for dramatic
purposes. so the author adroitly had Lee
surques saved in the last moment by the
ingenuity of his daughter and her sweet
heart.
To the theater-going public the main
interest centers In the fact that on the
stage one actor is required 10 play the
part OF both Lesurques and Dubosc. Mr..
oNeill takes this role. and is said TO
have added another creation TO his Won
derfui repertoire. The play is thoroughly
romantic In character and a vein OF hu-
man sympathy runs through its threads
IL has been staged in an elaborate man
ner and the subordinate roles have all
been entrusted to actors and actresses of
high renown.
THE Courier OF Lyons" will be seen al
the Evans opera house on Friday and on
Saturday night the ever-popular Monte
Cristo."
