TWO HELD ON SUSPICION

The body of Jose Velasco, Mexican,
residing at 724 Howard street, was
found yesterday morning beneath a
tree near Topeka and Alameda street,
with stab wound in the left side of
his neck.
J. Beretta, who found the body,
summoned the police, and after inves-
tigation, Manuel Castoro and Juan
Laragosa were arrested.
Captain Bradish and Detective Tala-
NANTES answered the summons of Be-
retta and after examining the body,
a trial of blood leading from the tree
beneath which Velasco was found, to
the rear of the home of Romendio Ru-
rios, $3.50 South Alameda street, was
found.
When questioned by Captain Brad
ish Rurios explained that a party of
Mexicans had been at his home Satur-
day. When asked If there had been
and disturbance during the evening,
Rurios said: There was some trouble
about midnight between Jose Velasco
gosa. who had been disputing about
the affections of one of the girls who
was in attendance at the party.
when they came to blows, ordered
the three men out of my house and
locked the doors against their possible
return. After turning the men out of
the house / heard cries and loud talk
ing, as if they were continuing the
fight. This continued until one of the
windows in the rear was broken and
then all was quiet. expected the men
to return. as supposed they had set

ing more of them until this morning"
Rurios was requested by Captain
Bradish to accompany himself and
Talamantes to the home of Castoro
and Lagarosa. He led them to lodg-
ings house on North Utah street where
he pointed out the two men the officers
were seeking.
When addressed in Spanish by Tala-
NANTES Castoro and Lagarosa refused
to admit their identity, but later ac-
knowledged that they were present at
the party given by Rurios the previous
night
While talking to the detective Cas-
toro tried to conceal a wound on his
left hand, but after further questions,
Captain Bradish arrested the two men
on suspicion. After being sent to the
police station it is said they made fur

nouo vadis" Repeated

The repetition of "Quo Vadis" at the
Grand is an event of more than unual
Importance in the history of that play
house. 1t marks an oasis in the desert
of frenzied melodrama and on that
account, if no other, the play should
receive large portion of praise. Rich
ard Buhler seemed to be relieved of the
oppressiveness of playing to the gallery
and delighted in a number of climaxes
that were without the necessity of
ranting.
George Graves as Chilo, the Greek
slave, also did effective work, while
Lillian Hayward as Poppea, Nero's
wife, and Brenda Fowler as Lygia, the
hostage to Rome, were also worthy of
mention. The Nero OF Henry Auer-
bach was a correct historical portrait
of that conceited, weak, suspicious and
doddering old monarch.

Society Girl is eeisha Girl

Not all of those who see 1.-The Heart
of the Geisha" at the Belasco this week
will know that the charming young
.geisha girl who gives prologue is
also a most accomplished and popular
young woman when off the stage. She
is Marian Badger of Oakland and be-
fore she decided to adopt the stage as
at many pink teas and similar affairs
in the northern city.
Miss Badger possesses charming
soprano voice and though she has no
chance to use it in the production at
the Belasco, she will be heard in Lon
don next season with the Dennis OSul-
livan Opera company. During her stay
in Los Angeles she will be the guest of
friends.
Miss Badger was in "The Heart of
the Geisha" when that play made its
great success in San Francisco recently
and besides her role in the play here
she has been preparing the geisha girls
in the charming dances which are a
part of the elaborate production.
"'The Heart of the Geisha" will be
the most important offering ever made
on the stage of the Belasco theater and
Los Angeles is favored by being the
second city in the United States In
which this drama of Japanese life has
been offered. Arrangements have been
made to take the piece to New York
for winter run and it will be presented
in the metropolis at the Criterion
theater.
Miss Juliet Crosby will appear here
in her original creation, Kohamma San,
and she will be supported by the en-
tire Belasco stock company. The play
will open at a special Labor day matt
nee this afternoon and will run the
entire week at the regular stock COM
pany prices.

TALKS ON EFFECT OF PEACE

VENICE, Sept. S.--Dr. Henry Frank
Of New York city, who has delivered
notable addresses during the assembly,
inaugurated the musical festival, un-
der the management of Prof. Wright
son, by delivering a most eloquent lee
ture on THE Effect of Peace on Rus
sia and Japan" He said in part:
"The sudden advent of peace. as sur
prising and startling as the advent of
the war, some eighteen months ago,
has also been granted a leave of
tioning concerning the prophetic pos
sibilties that may ensue to each nation.
Now that Russia has called back
her tattered and disgraced battle hosts,
she learns that a greater problem than
ever the war presented faces her in the
confines of her own empire. She has
learned that the war tore aside the veil
which she has so long worm as a dis
guise and now the whole world knows
of her internal infamies, her oppres-
sions and corruptions.
"She can no longer hold her people
in subjection; no longer can she, with
out universal rebuke, maintain her
filthy and enslaving Ghetto, in which
the noblest portion of her population
is outraged and disgraced; no longer
can she encourage her knout and
strappaddo, and exile the flower of her
people to the wilds of Siberia. Now all
the world knows that she is an empty
political bauble, and the slow encroach-
ments of the Bear on the established
principles of civilization will no longer
be endured without determined protest.
"The Christian world has also learned
that mere alteration of a distant God,
whose approach must be sought in
protracted prayers and solemn service,

PLAYHOUSE HAS
AN ANNIVERSARY
BURBANK ENTERS UPON ITS
SEVENTH YEAR
PRESENTS "IF | WERE KING"
Spectacular Romance ls Better Staged,
Better Acted and More OF Suc-
cess Than When Presented
by Sothern
PRESENTS %F | WERE KING"

This week the Burbank theater is
taking its turn at celebrating an an
niversary and yesterday afternoon the
playhouse ushered in its seventh year
with an elaborate production of e. Ii.
Sothern's spectacular romance, IF l
Were King" 1t was presented with
delightful scenic effects and mob or
we'll drilled extra people and 1t made u
distinct effect upon a large Sunday
afternoon audience-an audience that
prided itself upon the number of cur
tain calls 1t could bring about. Ac-
cording to this standard of judgment
e. H. Sothern's production of the
drama, which was presented at the
Mason over a year ago, could not
compare with the play as offered at
the Burbank.
At the Mason the second act prob
ably called forth two or three curtain
calls; at the Burbank it was rewarded
with ten. The contrast Is notable. At
the Burbank and with the Burbank
audience 1t is more of a success than
E. H. Sothern made it in his circum
stances.
If a flash light photograph of the
Burbank production were taken 1t
would have many advantages over
picture of the play as Frohman offered
it, Handsome as e. H. Sothern Is
noted for being, William Desmond
made even a better picture of Francois
Villon. Blanche Hall, William Ber-
nard, Bennett Southard and many
others of the principals compared
favorably in looks and even in actions
with the more pretentious aggregation
of the syndicate's.
1t is when the photograph moved that
William Desmond threw the balance
in favor of Sothern. The Burbank S
leading man has faulty gestures and
voice and his pauses are not rightly
timed, but he displays himself to bet
ter advantage as Francois than in any
thing in which he has appeared for
many months. He is a better actor by
so per cent than when he first Joined
the Burbank company. When he is as
old as Sothern-who knows?
1t is an enormous cast and impossi-
BILE to give even mention to all who
deserve praise. Miss Blanche Hall
gave a sterling performance that was In
every respect worthy of the best conf
pany in the country. She displayed a
singing voice of infinite sweetness
Bennett Southard, William Bernard,
Phoso MacAllister, Jane Kelton and
Mona Glendower were all excellent.
Harry Mestayer continues to persist in
serious roles, line in which he does
creditable work but not the superior
kind which distinguishes his comedy

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. ga number

They have received much encourage

The matter will be brought before the
