ment control. We are following the oleo-
margarine law in the methods of enforce
m6nt only.
1--WE have also decided on extensive
educational or propaganda work. hoping
to teach the public the use and value OF
pure wines. This we regard as Of vital
Importance. East and West are now un-
der one flag which flies for the purity of
American wines regardless of the
geographical lines which give us Eastern
types, California types or what not.
It is understood that glucose wine max
ers, raisin wine makers and other COM
Founders will have to fee to the hills

Central.

Herschel Mayall and Edna Elsmere had
a thrilling life-saying scene at the Central
last night in the melodrama "On the
Bridge at Midnight that should attract
large audiences for the rest of the week
In the scene where bridge over the Chi
cago River is shown in complete working
order, with ships and tugs putting across
the stage, the leading people of the Cen
tral risk their lives nightly. Hanging by
ropes to the bridge, the actors mentioned
are carried up into the air for thirty
feet, and as the bridge lowers the pair
are landed safely on the deck of pass
ing tug. In addition to the spirited acting
of Mayan and Miss Ellsmere, good work
was done by Henry Shumer, George P.
Webster, James Corrigan, True Board
man, Lillian Elliott. Clair Sinclare and
Linda Arvidson, the entire performance
going with a remarkable swing and pre-
cision. In addition to the bridge scene
there are others of exciting interest, and
the large audience enjoyed every minute
of the well-known melodrama-

White whittlesey, and Algernon Mon

White Whittlesey, and Algernon Mon
crieff, Ernest Glendenning-exchan
repartee are probably the snappiest as
the comedy is produced at the Alcazar,
probably because the lines written for
the male characters are more suscep-
tible of worldly aphorisms; but Miss
Adele Belgarde as Lady Bracknell
keeps close pace with the two men
who strive to be Ernest to please the
girls who Just dote" on that name.
The second act does not go with the
dash of the rest Of the production,
there not being the rapid fire exchange
of witticisms in the scenes in which
the women are more prominent that
there is in those where Glendenning
and Whittlesey appear as the mirth-
makers. Miss Eugene That's Lawton
was a self-possessed Gwendolen and
Miss Effine Bond a captivating Cecily.
Miss Nera Rosa made quite hit with
her identification of the black hand
bag with handles" Henry D. Byers,
who is a strong member of the COM
pany, gave good representation of the
Rev. ChasubIe.
Next week Kipling's famous The
Light That Failed" will be produced
with Whittlesey in the leading part.
This will be its first production in San
Francisco.

Hobart's, and a farce with less plot

Miss Irwin around. Mrs Black is a

Mrs. Blacks husband has bought him

scene ends with mamma in a faint, only
arousfng to object to the water that is
brought to recover her. Three acts it
takes TO the telling of little Johnny s
final acknowledgment. and if it is not SO
ingenious as might be, Miss Irwin
would carry the farce if it were ten
times less so.
