AT THE THEATER
;: OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

| THE LOS ANGELES-Of all the farcicaI
connections that have been seen on the
stage at this house for some time past, The
Man IRON Mexico decidedly takes the lead
for its fun-makng ingredients and power OF
provoking the rlsblities OF an audience.
In fact, since it was given here for the first
time about a year ago by the same clever
comedian, Willie Collier, it may safely be
said that nothing its equal has been offered
in the line oil what may be called legitimate
farce.
The story OF the man who has to so to
Jail for thirty days, and to hide his trouble
induces his wife to think he has gone on
trip to Mexico, and the complications that
result from his attempts, on his return home,
to make a satisfactory explanation to his
wife and the other parties interested in his
welfare, is worked out in the most amusing
manner.
The second act, showing the interior OF
the Jail and some OF its workings, is the
most amusing While the incidents are
exaggerated and the dialogue utt~ly absurd,
there is yet sufficient adherence to pos
sible happenings, so that the sense OF incon
gruity which is the source of ali genuine
laughter is excited to the utmost extent.
The return home is made by the wanderer
attired in theatrical looking Mexican cos
tune intended to give artistic versimili-
tude to his fiction of travel, and he is re-
ceived by his charming wife and her sister,
who have gotten themselves up in similar
fantastic array, and are eager to hear the
particulars of his visit to the romantic
country of bull fights, tamales, senoritas
and Spanish Dances The frantic efforts of
the poor fellow to make his story hold to-
gether, the way in which he founders
through one ptfall after another is highly
diverting. Mr.. Golfers powers of dry
humor and his suhdued methods, even in
the widest of imprcbobe c situations, mark
him an artist Of TNccrw01 ability. and en-
title him to a leading rank among the COM
td'ans cf the day. lie is naturally the
center Of attraction, but his company also
is well differed.

DID FOR THE SUFFERING
An Object Lesson for the Rich-Salva-
tion Army Dinner to Begin
This Forenoon

Much good has been accomplished in the
way of alleviating suffering and hunger
amongst the poor by the facts published in
The Herald during the past few days regard
ing the distress existing in many homes
throughout the city. The charitable soci-
etes have been more active than ever in
searching out and giving aid to those. in
want, and the individual has been stirred to
action.
Numerous inquiries have been received
and answered as to the addresses of people
needing aid, and thereby many families
have been made more comfortable and hap
py during the merriest season of the year.
Saturday night, when The Herald re.
porter who has been writing the accounts
of the many needy people in the city was
going home in a street car, the conductor
said:
Have you had anything given for those
little folks you told about in yesterdays
Herald? l have gotten together few little
things for the tree that the only nickel in
the house was to be spent for.
well, | want to go in ON that deal. You
see, it's this way. A fellow like me, who
hasn't person in the world to spend a cent
on, except himself, gets selfish. And when
thought of that little tot spending her only
nickel for an apology for Christmas tree,
with two coppers for popcorn to put on it,
just thought that was my chance. Here's
$3.50 Spend it on the poor little folks"
That conductors money, with little
more that was added, was stretched out and
made to buy greater assortment and big
ger quantity of all sorts of things than could
be told about in a hurry But the largest
sized telescope basket and par of strong
arms were required to safely conduct them
to the home of the family of eight living in
tent l4xl4, and yesterday morning when
the basket was carried out there and opened
and distributed the thanks of the mother
and the joyful demonstrations of the chill
dren were substantial evidences of the cheer
that their coming had brought. The sight
of the Christmas larder was heart breaking
On bright Christmas morning, and the
mothers face lit up with JOY at the sight
of so many tasty and substantial cdibles, al
ready cooked and ready fer the Christmas
dinner
I'VE had given up all thought of dinner
today" she said. Il did think that perhaps
some of the benevolent societies might send
something, but when it got so late | thought
we had been forgotten"
