FOURTH OF JULY FIRES
Firecrackers and Bombs Cause Con
siderable Damage

0A0OA00A0 00AAA080
AS is generally expected on Fourth Of
Julys, the fire department had busy time
of 1t yesterday responding to various kinds
of alarms. At 11:50 a. m. a telephone
message was sent in for fire In the kitch-
en- of the cottage of c. Wetzel at 512 South
Los Angeles street. The principal oam-
age done was to the walls, the loss amount
ing to about $780,
Shortly before 5 o'clock in the afternoon
the department was once more called out
by an alarm from box 80, at the corner
Of Figueroa and Seventh streets. The
fire was in the store Of J. Crew, at 523
West Washington street, and was caused
by carelessness in handling firecrackers.
The damage amounted to SIS.
An alarm was sent In at 8 O'Clock from
box Al. at the corner Of Hope and Eighth
streets. The fire was In an clubhouse In
the rear Of 1925 South Hope street, and
owned by Frank Adams. The indiscrimin-
ate use OF firecrackers caused the blaze,
which entailed loss of about $50, COW
cred by insurance.
Shortly before o'clock last night the
department was summoned to the corner
Of Los Angeles and Seventh streets by an
alarm from box AZ. The fire was in the
two-story frame building on the north
west corner Of Ninth street and Maple
avenue. and was occupied on the ground
floor as grocery store by J. B. Campbell,
who also resided in the second story. The
occupants were away from the house at
the time the fire took place. but Chinese
bomb was the cause of the blaze. The
damage was about $500 to the building and

SANTA MONICA ROAD RACE RUN
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
Miller Captured First Place He Was
Six-Minute Handicap Man and
Got in Before the Others

AS usually happens, the Santa Monica
road race was won yesterday by one of the
bunch, none of the scratch men fi-ishiry
within sight. p. H. Miller 81 this city cap
tured place, while the time prize went to
Ralph Hamlin There was dispute over
the time prize and the officers had to debate
considerably before deciding to whor, it be-
longed. The question of supremacy lay be-
tween Dean Cromwell and j. Muff on one
hand and Ralph Hamlin on the other, all
being residents of Los Angeles. The ride
made by Cromwell and Muff was irregular,
which was due to no fault of their own,
however, and the case was presented be-
fore the officials, who finally decided in ia
vor of IIamlin, the two other contestants
not being counted in the race.
In all the previous Santa Monica road
races the start has been made from this city
in the morning, but owing to the !!sadvar-
tages under which the present race was got
ten up it was found necessary TO reverse
the accustomed conditions and start in the
afternoon from the seaside. The field was
not big and many of the best riders III the
section failed to compete, but the time for
the distance, about seventeen miles, was
lowered it being ridden In i5:I1 by Hamlin
and A minutes fiat by Cromwell and Muff:
The limit men. who we're allowed a handi-
cap of eight minutes, were showed over the
tape at 1852 o'clock, and the other divisions
were soon started after them in turn, the
scratch riders leaving Santa Monica at 3
o'clock The roads were in poor condition
and In many cases the rain OF the early
morning had made the course very heavy
and plenty of mud was encountered while
on other portions of the road the rain did
good service in laying the dust.

that are not In the text while they are de-
| ivering their lines. This is an unprofes-
| sional practice, and Mr.. Smith carries it to
| excess.
| May Gooch Is charming Yum Yum, and
gives piquancy to the role that is
particularly fetching. Miss Linck's voice
is heard to great advantage In the part OF
Katisha, and If her enunciation were only as
distinct as her voice is pleasing there would
be nothing left to desire.
From the comedy point OF view, Mr.. Rat
tenberry rather carries away the honors as
Poch-Bah. His large, imposing presence
and heavy stolidity of expression fit the
part admirably, and he appears to play it
with a real understanding of the rule which
applies to all of Gilbert's fun, that the actor
spells his intended effect the moment he
makes it appear that he is consciously comic.
Mr.. Rattenberry therefore deserves praise
for very consistent and telling presenta-
ton of part that Is so often overdore. He
should not however, persist in saying very
artistic similitude." The line is artistic
verismilitude."
Altogether with the help of good chorus
ard this excellent work done by the orches-
ira, the opera is we'll worth a visit, and
tomorrow.
BURBANK.-The attraction last night
that set a big audience laughing from start
to finish was "Gloriana," farcical COM
edy on the order of Jane" and quite as
funny as that well-known piece.
"Gloriana" is striking example of what
may be done in adapting a French farce to
the requirements of an English-speaking
audience. The only trouble is that in this
process of adaptation so much has to be
altered and SO much to be entirely elm
mated that the French model is hardly
recognizable, nor Is the American product
always a satisfactory one.
In this case "Gloriana," instead of being
the mistress of the Russian count, is "af-
fanced'' to him, and her relations to the
lively Leopold are toned down to those of
Irritation All of which is very proper,
only it makes the situations impossible
whereas in the original they would be per-
fecty a matter of course.
But, taking the farce for what it is the
people al the Burbank play it extremely
well and get out of it all the fun that is
possible in the English version. Miss Oil
yer, in the title role, is, perhaps, the only
one who is handicapped, for, while she
plays with plenty of spirit and dash, she
does not attempt to give the part any other
that the charming widow" Interpretation
which the lines call for, and consequently
her actions are not to be entirely under
stood. When, for instance, she kisses her
favored one behind the counts back, 1t has
more the air of a spoiled daughter playing
81 trick ,lpon an al ed father than of n mas
sionate woman giving the rein to her fancy.

At THE THEATER


LOS ANGELEs.-The opera company
which has been performing at this house for
several weeks past has again changed its
bill, this time returning to comic lines
So, instead of I'll Trovatore" and Faust"
the pubic is this week given chance to en-
Joy 1.-The Mikado," which, by the bye, is an
opera that has never yet failed to attract
a goodsized house in Los Angeles
1.-THE Mlkado" is getting OLD, but he is
as good as ever he was, and the only mistake
that can be made in presenting him to the
public is to try to make him "up-to-date"
This is a task sometimes assumed by the
low comedy man who personates Ko-Ko,
the Lord High Executioner," and the ex-
ecuion that he manages to accomplish in
demolishing the Glbertian libretto would
set that sensitive writer plumb crazy if he
could but hear the liberties taken with his
text by rash Adventures who think they
can improve upon it.
1.-THE Mikado" is not a facile task for a
mere operate organization, no matter how
good the voices may be. There is so much
dialogue, and the spirit and fun Of the piece
depend so much upon that dialogue that
singers require to be well equipped as actors
in order to make the work go"
Il is therefore much to the credit of a
company that has already distinguished
itself in heavy opera that it should be able
to present 1.-THE Mikado" with comparatively
few shortcomings, and those only of kind
that might naturally be expected, seeing
that an opera company never existed that
could do equal justice to grave and gay
alike.
In this case most Of the singers are we'll
equipped for the music. but like Mr.. Simon
sen failed 20 catch the comedy element
that gives distinction to tine role. Mr.
Smith. the low comedy man, is an athletic
little fellow. hard worker and persistent
maker of gags, some of which are
funny and some of which are not. His
chief fault is an absorbing desire to monopo-
lie the stage while he is on it, and to assist
this end he spells some of the best points of
the other Denple nv intertecting sentences
