Central.

The Central Theater has put on a
strong attraction in Charles G. Blay-
ney's new comedy drama. only a Shop
Girl which was last night produced
for the first time in San Francisco. It
was a success. The play is lavishly
mounted. a snow scene with sleigh
ing party and a SNOWFALL fight being
one feature, while another scene was
that of a big department store, with a
stock of merchandise and corps of
clerks. Automobiles play a part in the
street scenes and clever specialties are
introduced by Curtin and Blossom,
vaudeville sketch artists. A vocal solo
is pleasingly rendered by Verne Castro.
Ethel Clifton has the role of the sales
lady, who is all alone in the world Un-
til she discovers heroic defender in a
scion of wealth. impersonated by Her
scheI Mayall. Verne Castro and Danny
Halifax create lot of fun in character
comedy, and Ernest Howell and Wini-
fred Gordon are effective in juvenile
roles.s James Corrigan plays the part
of a. rascally lawyer, Henry Shumer
that of a double-dyed villain and Edna
ElIsmere is in the cast as an adven-
turess. A sensational scene which ends
the third act and which brought sew
eral curtain calls was the thrilling res
cue of the unconscious shop girl from
a death TO which the villain had con-
signed her in the shaft of a descending
elevator.

SOLDIER DRAMA
SMARTLY ACTED
Second in Command" With
White Whittlesey and Miss
LaWton in Leading Roles
CLEVER MILITARY PLAY
CentraPs New Melodrama,
"Only a Shop Girl" Pleases
Audience-Other Theaters

A smart play smartly played is the
Alcazar's Second in Command" put
on last evening at the little home thea
ter. The play is one of the three to be
used on the coming Western tour of
White Whittlesey, and the cast of last
night is almost identical with that
which will appear on the road. Ger
tainly in this instance the road, long
suffering, has something to look for
ward to. Captain MarshalPs clever
play, fortunately introduced here by
John Drew, improves on acquaintance.
Particularly happy is the dialogue, one
notes. And the story. as military ro-
nance goes. is effective and interesting
throughout.
To begin with the production, it
should be said that the stage tailor has
done his most here. The uniforms
alone are worth the price. Such
gorgeousness of gold braid! Such but
tons! Such a muchness of smartly tall
ored male! These, with the trim quar-
ters of the swell military person, the
bugles, the gay incident of army post
life, furnish an atmosphere both pic
turesque and thrilling, and every credit
is due the management here.
To me, who had not been Alcazar-
ward this week or so, the appearance OF
Miss Eugene That's Lawton in the cast
proved most interesting. l have often
wept with Miss Lawton up at the Cen
tral. Why, what that girl has gone
throughl And 1 have triumphed with
her over the villain with the same
persistent regularity. Last night saw
her for the first time for matter OF
two years, in play worthy of her, and
was not disappointed. Miss Lawton has
the charm of a fine sincerity, genuine
feeling for pathos, a truly sympathetic
quality in her work. Four matinees
and seven evening performances last
week, too, did not prevent this young
woman from giving her lines with en-
gaging certainty which is more than
could be said of some others in the
cast-even of Mr.. Whittlesey. Alto
gether Miss Lawtons Muriel Manner
ing is a most pleasing figure, and not
least as picture. 1 was glad to see
again Miss Virginia Brissac as the in
genue. She is both clever and pretty.
Mr.. Whittlesey was winning and
good tured as Major Bingham, as
Captain Marshall intended the major
to be, but the stern fiber of the soldier
is not in him. In the sentimental lapse
OF poor kit" however, Mr.. Whittle-
sey is all there, and wears his clothes
admira bly,. Mr.. Conness is the majors
successful rival Colonel Anstruther-
one rather wonders al his success;
Harry Hilliard does an unusually good
bit of work as Walter Mannering, and
Earle Williams contributes another as
Lieutenant Peter Barker. A large
house applauded vigorously.

HUTTON LOSES
VITAL POINT
Judge Cook Holds That Cap
tain Duke Cannot Be Look
ed Upon as an Accomplice
DEFENSE DESIRES TIME
Case PeremptOrily Set for
Next Monday, When a Con-
clusiOn Must Be Reached

Police Commissioner H. w. Hutton,
special chief of police for 1929 Du-
pont street." lost an important point
yest--1av in the contempt proceed
ings against him for violating the in
junction restraining the police from
interfering with the restaurant busi-
ness of Jean Pom, 1929 Dupont street.
At the last calling of the case Hut
tons attorneys made the point that as
the only evidence against him was
that of Captain Duke, an accomplice,
Hutton could not be convicted on
Dukes uncorroborated testimony.
Each side was given time to file
briefs on the point and a continuance
was granted till yesterday.
The Judge overruled the point.
holding that even though Duke had
been an accomplice the point could
not be sustained in contempt proceed
ings, because Hutton was not on trial
through an indictment or informa-
ton.
Attorney johnson said he was not
ready to proceed with the defense
owing TO the absence of his associate,
Attorney Riordan, through sickness.
He asked for a continuance. which
was opposed by Attorney George d.
Collins, who has never ceased his ag-
gressive fight against Hutton and his
persistent defense of his clients.
The Judge said the case would be
peremptorily set for hearing next
Monday. and if Attorney Riordan
could not be present at that time
Johnson had better get some other at
torney to assist him. if assistance
were necessary.
AS the Judge has intimated that the
Inc r1riY11 q
facie case ii begins to look as if Hut
tons conviction is a foregone conclu-
sion, now that he has lost his most

It, for SO of these handy adjuncts to
craftsmanship were purchased during
the year. They ranged in price from
30 cents to the $1,000 one aforemention-
ed. 1t is probable that some new and
unsophisticated member was put OF
with the cheap 90-cent bag.
With the demand for wrist bags
came the need of pocketbooks. of which
i21 were purchased, ranging in price
from nine cents to more expensive
article of $14.25. Now, inasmuch as
there are only 90 members of the SEN
ate. some of the more opulent of them
must require two pocketbooks to con-
tain their ready cash. Five chatelaine
bags were purchased, ranging in price
from 1925 to 1920. 1t took ia card
cases to satisfy the demands, and some
of them must have been magnificent,

CATCHING COLD
Is the Beginning of Most Winter
Ai1ments-Pe-ru-na Protects
Against and Cures Colds.

There is no fact of medical science
better established than that a teaspoon
full of Peruna before each meal during
the winter season will absolutely pro-
tect person from catching cold. Now,
if this is true land there is no d oubt of
it), thousands of lives would be saved,
and tens of thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach of
every one.
After a cold has been contracted n
teaspoonful of Peruna every Hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of it
behind. After chronic catarrh has be-
come established, or the first stages of
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it viii take much longer
to effect a cure.
It seems Stran~e that as we'll known
and we'll established as these facts are
