COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

m) F. RUBENs. who is Parisian O. and president of the National
 Dressmakers' association, says that the best dressed girls are found in St. Louis. San Francisco comes next on the honor roll, while the effete east does not figure at all. M. Rubens has no statistics but thinks he knows a thing or two about clothes. No doubt he does, but decisions like his in this case are more interest ing than authoritative. Plenty of experts are to be found in all parts of the coun- try who will give the palm for having the best dressed girls to some other city than St. Louis. Without comparative figures and careful consideration 1t Is unwise even for an expert to brave feminine resent ment by saying that the girls of St. Louis surpass their sisters of other cities in the matter of style.

'The decline of chivalry' is a favorite topic among editorial writers in all parts of the land, especially in the east It is more noticeable every day that men are neglecting the little courtesies which were once considered every woman's due. The south, called the home, as 1t were, of old-fashioned gallantry and chivalry toward women, Is falling into the habit Of forgetting its earlier training. In Bir- mingham 1t is not unusual to see women standing in trolley cars while men occupy seats. Women in Birmingham are given equal chances with the men but little more. This up-to-date characteristic is more noticeable In new manufacturing city like Birmingham than it Is in towns like Mobile and New Orleans, where "old south" ideas still survive.

sole OLSON" AT THE GRAND
Ben Hendricks in Swedish Dialect
Play Given Hearty Welcome

IT bane in dis kontry ten mont and
sax wake" said Ben Hendricks in his
inimitable Swedish dialect at the Grand
yesterday, and the hearts of the audi
ence warmed to the whole-souled,
frank-faced Ole Olson.
Plenty of horseplay, touch of
pathos, a few villains, and the play
Swedish dialect piece is good to the
limit. He acts and looks the part of
the green Swede.
AS for the other members of the
company, little can be said in the way
of praise. ]. Quintan Shingle, warm
hearted but erratic, looks like the
Sixth ward councilman, and his at
tempt to thrash the villain who was
about to steal the child must have re-
minded some of the audience of an
affray in which city legislator and a
politician were the participants not so
many months ago.
Miss BERTHE Conway as Genie Dimple,
and Ella Bailey Robertson as Mrs.
Bridget O'Flannigan did clever work
in character parts.
Hendricks singing of the melodious
Swedish folk songs is a feature which
takes many of the audience in spirit
back to the fatherland.
"Ole Olson" will continue through
the week at the Grand, giving way
next Sunday to "The Little Outcast."

FLIGHT OF AIRSHIP is
POSTPONED ONE WEEK

On account of unfavorable weather
the airship California Arrow did not
make fight yesterday. Up to noon
Captain Baldwin expected to make an
ascension, but later gave it up because
of the continued unsettled condition Of
the weather.
However, the Chutes park was
thronged with thousands who were
greatly disappointed. Not to disap-
point them entirely the doors of the
aerodrome were thrown open and the
crowd was permitted to pass through
the building and study the trim little
sky yacht at close range,
An hour before the time advertised
for the start of the flight a crowd be-
gan to assemble along the sides of the
streets surrounding the Chutes. Many
came early to secure points of vantage
on the roofs of sheds and barns. or to
roost on the tops of fences or piles Of
lumber, while one enthusiastic sports
man who wore an automobile hat gal
lantIy bestrode the roof of chicken
coop.
When two hours had elapsed this
throng decided that patience was no
longer virtue. and they first
knocked" the airship and then slowly
dispersed
If the weather conditions are favor
able the Arrow win explore the air in
the vicinity OF the clouds next Sunday.

TRAINS HALTED BY
RESULTS OF HEAVY RAIN
Washouts in Some Places Worst the
Railroads Have Experienced
in SeNeral Years


Continued heavy rains east of Los
Angeles have made the repairing of the
washouts in the roadbeds of the Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific railroads al
most an impossibility, and with the
exception of the Golden State Limited
and the Ell Paso train over the
Southern Pacific which pulled into the
Arcade station at late hour Friday
night, no fast train from the east has
arrived in Los Angeles since last Fri
day morning.
Officials of the Southern Pacific
stated yesterday afternoon that they
were hopeful of having their line open
during the day and that with good
luck some of their fast trains now held
at Beaumont would arrive in Los An
geles within the next twelve hours.
The Santa Fe road has been work
ing for the past three days to repair
the break in the roadbed at Kingman
laid across the breach at o'clock last
night. They expect their trains to ar
rive in Los Angeles some time this af-
ternoon.
At Ell Casco, on the Southern Pa
cific, the breach made in the roadbe6
by the White Water river has beer
three times repaired, only to be a:
many times again torn away by the
floods which come down from the can
yons. In the intervals between rains
Saturday a temporary bridge was put
in place, and at o'clock the Colder
State Limited and the El Paso train
passed over in safety, together witt
several trains out of Los Angeles or
began again, and within half an houl
the repairs which had been made were
again swept away. The washout a
this point is the worst that the South
ern Pacific has experienced in years
Yesterday the river was subsiding ant
it was stated that by 6 o'clock th'
break would be repaired. Trains helC
here were started eastward at thai
| time.
On the Santa Fe the washout a
Kingman canyon is similar to that ex
perienced by the road last year, bu
is more severe in character. At
o'clock last night an unspanned rive
200 feet wide and many feet deep wal
sweeping through a breach which /
had made in the roadbed. Attempts
have been made during the past thre
| days to put in a temporary bridge
but the rains have been almost con
tinuous at that point since last Frida!
morning and the piling and timber
have been swept away repeatedly
Trains which left Chicago later thai
January 80 are held at Ashfork, King
man and other points east of thu
| break.
Santa Fe trains bound east have lef
Los Angeles daily on schedule time
but have been unable to proceed far

RUSSIAN THRILLS
PERVADE BURBANK
NlHlLIST PLAY, IMPOSSIBLE,
BUT WELL PRESENTED
Moroseo stock Company Appears to
Advantage In Melodramatio
Representation Of Plots
Against Gar

ON Darkest Russia" a melodrama
full of glaring impossibiIities but re-
plete with thrills, is the weeks offering
at the Burbank theater. and to the
credit of Morosco's stock company 1t
must be said they give a production
of the monstrosity in a manner alto
gether satisfactory.
What could be more thoroughly en-
ioyed by Sunday afternoon audience
at the Burbank than the following
complicated situation:
In the last moments Of his term as
minister Of police, Constantine Karis-
chef, husband of the villainess with
which all true melodramas are
equipped) sentences the son of Count
Nazirnoff to Siberia because the afore-
said villainess has been thwarted in
Nazirnoff succeeds Karischeff as min
lister of police on the stroke of IL. The
first victims of his official fury are the
daughter Of the former minister and
his wife, the villainess.
Serve such a morsel to an audience
inspired with melodramatic fervor and
from orchestra chair to topmost gall
lery there comes frenzied applause.
An idea of the strenuous life led by
the Nihilist suspects and their friends
may be gained from the sequence of
acts The fete in the palace, the Mill
ist rendezvous, the sentence to Siberia,
an exile station, the rescue from wolves
,,.<1 +1,o ,Iot of dasfr,ofiot,
William Desmond, as Alexis Nazir
noff, the much wronged hero, appears
resplendent in military uniform COM
posed of a sack coat, tight-fitting
breeches and high patent leather boots.
Desmond's numerous feminine ad-
mirers in the audience were much i'm
pressed with his appearance, and
even shrieked their fear for his safety
when swords were drawn. His work
was acceptable, barring a few slips of
memory and the fact that his welding
of his blade savored of the new recruit.
Blanche Hall gave an excellent char
acterization of Ida Barosky, the exile.
Phosa McAllister, the sweet faced,
paid the penalty for essaying the viii
lainess' role, which she fulfilled ad-
mirably. by receiving more misses than
usually fall to the lot of even a player
in melodrama. Such a demonstration
was proof that her work was good.
Henry Stockbridge, as the student;
John w. Burton, as the American at
torney, and Stanley Johns, as the min
lister of police, appeared in parts well
suited to them and but few flaws could
be found in their work. Bennett
Southard, as Count Nazirnoff, was sue
cessful as the iron-hearted father of
the apparently erring son. Jessie May
Hall, as the Baroness Won Rineburg,
was a most charming little widow.
The play is we'll staged under the di-
rection of II. S. Duffield.

Ebert Hubbard Lecture

Elbert Hubbard, one of the most
original philosophers before the public
today, will lecture at Simpson audito-

demand for seats for this entertain
ment has been most unusual, and has
very we'll indicated that Roycroft ideas
and ideals as we'll are not unfamiliar
to the thinking and reading public of
Los Angeles. During the past few days
Hubbard has been seeing the sights OF
Southern California, enjoying himself
in a manner characteristic of the de-
lighted easterner.
