LOS ANGELES THEATER.--The
second appearance of the Jules Grau
Opera company was in a rendition of
Fra Diavolo," which was given last
night with a closer attention to the score
than characterized the company's per-
formance the night before. At the same
time the liberties taken were not few,
and may be imagined when it is stated
that Zerlina sang the tender Scotch bal
lad Of "Annie Laurie in order to COM
pose her nerves before retiring to the
publicity of her three-quarter excelsior
mattress. She also sang the prayer, or
at least some Of it.
For the finale Of the second act the
sextette from Lucia di Lammermoor"
was introduced. In extenuation of this
offense 1t is urged that other travelling
companies have done the same thing,
plea which could not be put forward
in a case of petty larceny. The theme
of the famous sextette is so entirely
removed from anything the light opera
contains that its introduction is nothing
| less than a piece Of vandalism that can
only have been conceived in ignorance
| and born Of the brain Of vaudeville
| manager.
| Eloisc Mortimer was cold and un-
sympathetic Zerlina and recited her lines
with the apathy of school girl. while
| her singing Of the part was not above
mediocrity. She gained an encore for
her singing of the romance "On Yondcr
Rock Reclining" and her rendition of
"Annie Laurie" was also applauded by
the people who recognized the singular
appositeness Of the selection.
Martin Pache was the hero of the
opera and to piece out his efforts and
those of the company a little Lord
Fauntleroy was introduced between
acts to sing some more.
The plea is made that this is cheap
opera and that naturally so much can
not be expected as when the prices are
higher. While this Is true it only re-
mains for the people who have been
grumblng at high prices to take this
opportunity to pack the house, and this
is just what they have failed to do
While the attendance thus far has beer
quite light, the entertainment may be
considered worth the price of admission
especially by those who like a pour
boire in the shape Of vaudeville special
ties in addition to the regular opera.
At the matinee today '"The Chimes OF
Normandy and in the evening LA
Grandc Duchesse."

DEDOUINS OF THE DESERT
Madame Mountford's Talk Last Even.
ing at Simpson Tabernacle

At Simpson tabernacle last evening
Madame Mountford, in her third talk
described the Bedoulns of the desert
The background was arranged to rep
resent a tent divided in the center. On
one side the life of the women was illus
trated; on the other that of the men.
The costumes were again totally
changed and the manner of life, traits,
characteristics and habits of the chill
dren of the desert were described.
The speaker again illustrated her
points with tableaux and pantomime by
herself and her attendants. She again
applied her illustrations to certain well
known scriptural texts and by her ex-
plantations of the customs of the people
gave to them new meaning and sig
nificance.
There will be no lecture this evening,
but tomorrow evening Nine. Mountford
will speak on "Ecce Homo, or from
Bethlehem to Calvary" A good sized
audience gave the speaker close atten-
tion last evening and she was frequently

A Vegetable Sea Rope.

The largest plant in the world is be-
lieved to be gigantic seaweed, the
nereocytis, which frequently grows to
height of more than 300 feet. The
stem of the plant is as strong as an Or
binary rope, and large quantities of 1t
are dried and used as rope by the In
habitants of the South Sea islands,
where the curious vegetable ropes are
found. This seaweed usually grows at
depth of from 200 to 800 feet. As
soon as the plant takes root pear
shaped balloon is formed, which grows
with the stem toward the surface of
the water. This balloon frequently has
a diameter of six feet or more. 1t has,
of course, an upward tendency, and
therefore keeps the stem growing until
it floats on top of the water. This enor-
nous weed grows in such quantities
that large meadow-like islands are
formed, which frequently impede navi
CATION. The ropes made from these
stems are used for building purposes
and the balloons, when dried, make
very serviceable vessels.
