Nellie McHenry and her excellent COM
pany come to the Los Angeles theater
the last three nights of this week, with a
matinee Saturday.
Nellie McHenry has, to a certain ex-
tent, invented her own style of plays,
and on this occasion will present her
latest success, "a Night in New York, 7"
written expressly for her by H. Grattan
Donnelly. The title expresses the en-
tire plot, which consists of the adven-
lures of Jefferson Manhattan, a gay New
York clubman, and Willoughby Still, a
New England clubman, who, on the eve
of their entering into domestic bliss,
scheme to go to the French ball at the
Madison Square garden, without their
intended wives knowing of 1t and to have
one jolly night of it in New York before
settling down for life. Mile. Henrietta,
known as the Peerless Peri, queen of the
vaudeville stage (Miss McHenry), while
visiting friends in New England, as
sumes to be Miss Henrietta. a quiet, de-
mure, country maid, falls in love with
Willoughby Still and the marriage is to
take place in New York. Mile. Henriet-

gins in New York, where all the charac-
ters reside. Benjamin Fitzhugh, a very
domestic man, is induced by his friend,
Col. Roderck Majors, to visit the Cleo
patra, very gay resort. Mrs. Fitzhugh,
who is jealously disposed, getting wind
of this little trip, determines to follow
her husband, and enlists the services Of
a young man who is desperately in love
with her sister. They visit the Cleopa-
ira too late to catch up with the way
ward husband but just in time to be
gathered in by a police raid. Fitzhugh,
after leaving the Cleopatra with Majors,
assaults cab driver and is arrested.
Mrs. Fitzhugh is released pending in
vestigation, while Majors escapes. Fitz-
hugh is sentenced to Blackwell's island
for thirty days. He tells his wife that
business matters demand his immediate
departure for Mexico, and leaves to
serve his sentence. In the second act
Fltzhugh is a prisoner on the island,
where he is seen in the lockstep march in
his prisoners garb. While there his
wife comes as an envoy of the womens s
flower mission. A decidedly foppish in
dividual Immediately proceeds to fall In
love with her in the presence of Fitz-
hugh, thereby causing the latter who is
not recognized, the greatest agony. In
the last act Fitzhugh, who is supposed
to have just returned from Mexico,
makes brave attempt to keep up ap-
pearances and the complications which
are brought out in the final situations
are ludicrous in the extreme.
Mr.. Collier is supported by an excel
lent company. Maclyn Arbuckle will be
seen in the role of Majors, and Charles
Mason as Loveall, the foppish warden.
The clever German comedian, Dan Ma
son, contributes character bit which is
said to be one of the funniest Dutch COM
edy parts ever seen. Louise Allen will
appear in her original part of Mrs. Fitz-
hugh, in which she made such a success
in New York, and the cast also has Vio-
let Rand Carolyn Elberts, Katherine

late in the evening. Joyce accompan-

time he left her home he has not been
seen by any of his friends. 1t is sup
posed that on his way home he was
held up and robbed, and that, offering
resistance to the thieves, he was MUIR

I'll weed the garden, hunt for eggs,
And feed the chickens, too.

Now, grandmamma, please don't forget
To meet me at the train!

And take the next express;

But grandma isn't you!
And 1 forgot, when l came here,
I'd got to sleep here, too!

Because I'm your own little girl,
And do love you so!

occasion he has been found dead with

strange medley of sounds, impossible
to reproduce and difficult to describe,

is preparing. Several large powders,
one of which weighs over ton, will
be appropriately lettered and placed in
position to mark the site of the first
house built in the town, the scene of
the Indian massacre, and other points
of interest. These powders are al
most as interesting as the town itself,
all being worn smooth as if by

were found far from any stream.

at the same time the expense of enam-

The frame and wheels are of wood

spindles have been superseded by bolts
