AT THE THEATER

BURBANK.-''EastL Lynne" u attracting
larger houses with each succeeding night
and the performance goes with commenda-
BILE smoothness. The experiment Of plung-
ing this excellent company into the weepy
depths Of domestic melodrama Of this
character, or rather want Of character, has
been justified by its success.
Miss Oliver as Lady Isabel proves herself
able to command the sympathies Of her
audience, exhibiting as she docs an amount
Of pathos which her previous work here had
not indicated, for the reason that 1t was
not called for. Miss Tidball Is not yet quite
at home In the part Of Barbara Hare and
therefore talks most OF her dialogue into
the wings. Miss Howe's otherwise excel
lent assumption Of Cornelia IL marred only
by being over -accentuated. Mr.. Osbourne
as Mr.. Carlyle is, as usual. q finished rep
resentative Of his part. Mr.. Lonergan has
the most unthankful role in the play AZ the
villainous Sir Francis Levison and cannot
succeed in effacing the pleasant impression
he made in other and more congenial char
acters.
The piece as whole Is very well presented
and evidently gives great satisfaction to
those who enjoy that kind Of dramatic en-
tertainment.
ORPHEUM.-The bill this week continues
highly attractive. Tim Murphy's persona
tions Of we'll known actors and the sketch
given by the -Four Cohans continue to be
the leading attractions. while valmore. the
musical man, and the remainder OF the peo-
pie also come in for large share Of the
applause. Wills and Loretto have gone back
to the tramp and soubrette act Of last week,
their change Of Monday night not proving
q success.
LOS ANGELES.-Seats for the Red
cross penent to be given on SATURDAY night
by the Carl Martens opera company are
selling rapidly. The opera Of Faust is
the attraction, and an excellent perform
ance Is assured.

DIDN'T WANT A CHEAP MAN.
Who Spent His Money on the install

A beautiful young thing, with green

low, rakish bike cap perched on his
lovely wavy hair, got on U street car

accompanied by a swagger-looking girl

of languishing happiness.
After the car got under way the
beautiful young thing fished around IN

metal dollar. The conductor took it

JUST A BICYCLE RACE.
Two Men on Tandem and Nursery
Coddled Boy the Participants.

A yellow-haired youngster of up-to-
date nursery pattern, well groomed
Nfrom tip to toe, was out on his wheel
in West Side street the other morn
ing making a charming picture in the
early sunlight and delighting in the
mastership of his steed.
Backward ard forward and round
and about he rode, now springing OF
little way just for the fun OF going,
and ambling back again more soberly,
his cherub face gleeful with the pleas
ure of motion.
There came in sight round turn OF
the street further down tandem
freighted with two big men in gray
knicke1bockers and helmet hats. They
noticed the pretty boy riding so 1.-the
and erect. so seemingly at home with
his wheel, and he noted that they no.
ticed him and bridled up and rode all
the better and showed off the more be-
cause of 1t.
AS the tandem trundled by the hind
most man called out something mis-
chievous that the boy interpreted as a
challenge and he put out after them
as if spelling for race. The men
rode on out of sight, and the boy veered
back to his home block, probably haV-
ing been charged not to go beyond a
certain limit in either direction.
In few minutes the tandem loomed
in view again, as If having only gone
around the square, and the men, evil
IDENTIFY much taken with the sprightiy
child, egged him on to talk about his
wheel, and finally proposed a race.
That is. they said if he wasn't too sure
of heating: they wouldn't race against
a certainty.
The cherub was on his mettle by
now. A bright color heightened his
cheeks and he looked as If ready lot
ANYTHING. The wheels went back
block or two to start with. and wheh
thew set out the little fellow rode TOT

The car tracks crossing the avenue
on the slope of the street below were
| in his path. He was going too FAST
to hold up properly, and, as he BOWED
over he tilted, and wheel and rider
bit the dust together. The out-dls-
tanced competitors rode up, contrlte
and apprehensive, anxious as to the
outcome, but almost before the lad
could be stood on his feet and inves-
tigation made, the victor blurted out
eagerly:
