at the Metropolitan Temple on Monday
and Wednesday evenings and Saturday
afternoon of the coming week. The must
cal community is greatly interested in her
advent and her brief season promises to
be brilliant one
Concerning a recent Eastern appearance
a critic remarks: "Carreno has the power
of Busoni as well as the sentiment of
Paderewski. In fact she noTds both into
one, and brings out the nice shading eff
fects just as they are required. Her runs
are clear, staccato, crisp and true, and
the pianissmo cadenzas abound, literally
drip out in perfect form. Combined with
the mastery power of conception and
executive strength is a wonderful tech
niuue that reminds one forcibly at times
of the lingering of Rosenthal.
Her programme for tomorrow evening
will be as follows:

is the climacteric finish of act 1. How
Hosea walks to New York, hunts day
and night for his sister, sends money

gives him title to about the half

find his long-lost sister (who, after all,
had been legitimately welded to the
vilIain) and the beautiful metropolitan
heiress who had always admired him
for his courage and independent clothes
and dialect-how, l say, all this hap
pens 1 shall not attempt to detail.
Doubtless you know as much about it

The California.

The general excellence of the cast OF
"Why Smith Left Home has not been
lost sight of by the public, and the
friends of Maclyn Arbuckle, Mrs. Annie
Yeamans. Dorothy Usner and Rose Stuart
have rallied at the California during the
past week to the enthusiastic support OF
their favorites. Smith affords good fun
it is clean fun. The several character
izations, such as Mrs. Yeamans' Irish
cook, Fred w. Peters F'renchman and
C. Jay Williams German Count, add ma
terially to the laughter-provoking posi-
bilities of the play. This will be the last
week of why Smith Left Home" Black

home than Hosea talks of a di-
vorce, and young millionaire
from New York hangs over the
back of her chair and asks matrimoni-
ally if he may sit next her at dinner.
The realism stops short at Hosea's real
shave scene, done with real soap and
water, and his overalls, which are un-
impeachably the right riveted thing.
Peaceful Valley" is a good natured
serio-comic of the stage stacy, and
the Alcazar company gives it for what
it is; and so some large entertainment
is afforded both those who admire the
play and those who do not.

lean Drama is a strong possibility, if
indeed it be not already an achieved
fact,
Peaceful Valley" which suggested
this rather solemn train of thought, is
typical of the play that retarded civili-
cation on the American stage. This is
not to say that it does not have it's mo-
ments of value. Quite the contrary. l
found a great deal in it the other
night that was genuinely entertaining,
and as not Sol Smith Russell but En-
nest Hastings was playing the principal
part of Hosea Howe, l could for once
take that part at something like its
own value. Mr.. Russell, like Mr..
Goodwin, always managed to make
part, even the whole play look to be
something much better than it really
was. That was where the mischief
came in. The people loved and popu-
larized these actors in a certain cut and
dried line of work, while good plays
rotted CT else went unwritten for lack
of encoura cement. Take out of the
part the popular personal spell of the
actor and you throw terrible search
light on its imperfections. 1 do not
mean this in dispraise of Mr.. Hastings
performance of Hosea Howe, which is
much better than he or you or l had
any reason to believe it would be: but
Hosea is like a coat tailored for man
with a hump; put straight backed
fellow in it and he fills in too well in
one place and not enough in another.
From what little 1 have seen of Mr..
Hastings acting 1 should say that it
is emphatically of the humpless variety.
He is an actor of versatile authority.
and his representations are generally
careful and consistent, and yet fairly
spontaneous in their effect. 1t is only
rubbing in the obvious to say that he
cannot play Hosea as we'll as the
player who inspired the play, and only
justice to what must be herculean

RESOLUTION MAY BE VETOED
Mayor May Decide to Resist Efforts
of the Council to suspend the
Lamp Ordinance.

There Is an interesting possibility for
complications in the effect of the resolution
adopted by the city council at Tuesday
evenings meeting, suspending the operation
OF the ordinance requiring bicyclsts to carry
lamps on their mounts after dark. The reso-
luton has gone to the mayor for his ap-
proval or disapproval, and II he follows out
his views as already expressed he will veto
it. Then as he does not believe the council
has the right TO suspend the ordinance by
resolution, he may order the police depart
ment to enforce the ordinance. II
the wheelmen elect to stand on
the authority of the council and ride with
out lights and the police obey orders from
their superiors, there will be more arrests
every night than the desk officer can record
II think it is very likely that the resolu-
tion will be vetoed" eaid Mayor Moores
yesterday afternoon, but whether the police
will be ordered TO enforce the ordinance be-
fore the next meeting or whether the ac-
tion OF the council, should it pass the reso-
luton over the veto, will be dsregarded and
the ordinance enforced Notwithstanding. I
cannot say until I have had a consultation
with the city attorney. / am Thoroughly
convinced that the council has no right
whatever to suspend the operation OF an
ordinance by resolution. That it has been
done in the past is true, but that makes no
difference. / can scarcely think that the

Union Pacific Pioneer Association.

There was not large attendance at the
annual meeting of the Union Pacific Pioneer
association Wednesday afternoon. The
meeting was held in Learys shop in the
Union Pacific yards, after the shops had
shut down. and a majority of the members
seemed more anxious to get home than to
participate in the deliberations of the asso-
citation.
The meeting was called to order by w. l.
Baker, the president. The secretarys re-
port showed that there is $67.55 in the treas
ury.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President, John
Reed first vice president, Fred Trett; sec
ond vice president, Henry Van Dusen;
treasurer. John NJ. Rice; secretary, John
White.
A vote OF thanks was extended to w. L.
Baker and w. J. Knox, the retiring presi-
dent and secretary respectively, for their
faithful service during the last two years
The sentiment of those present favored a
picnic this year, but action on this subject
was deferred one week, the president being
authorized to call a special meeting at the
same place and hour for next Wednesday, at
which time a final decision will be made.
