SHRlNER CARAVAN RETURNS
FROM DESERT PILGRIMAGE
KNIGHTS OF FEZ ELABoRATELY
ENTERTAINED
Marched in Full Dress Parade on Santa
Barbara's Fashionable Thorough
fare and Sat Down to Banquet at
Hotel After Ceremonies

The sands of the Santa Barbara des-
ert must have been piping hot Satur-
day and Sunday, judging from the
tired and jaded condition of herd of
camels and the mobiles of the Order
of the Mystic Shrine that came through
the gates of the Arcade depot last
night on the arrival of the special train
from the Channel City at $40 O'Clock.
There were 306 Shriners in the dele
cation, all knights Templars or Thir-
ty-second degree Masons, and all re-
ported they had had fine time on
the trip praising the hotels, the surf
bathing the scenery, the local band
and descanting at length in lauda-
tory manner over the beauties of the
auto and carriage drives in and about
Santa Barbara.
The members of Malakiah temple OF
Los Angeles and other Shriners OF
Southern California made the pilgrim
age for the purpose of escorting with
approved ceremonies seventy-five neo-
phytes over the hot sands under the
direction of Potentate william w.
Lovett. The newly-made Shriners agree
that they had the hottest time of their
lives. They got all that was coming
to them and are now qualified to assist
In seeing that the next bunch receives
all the frills going with the Shriner
degree.
On arriving at Santa Barbara sat
urday evening the train was halted
at the hotel, where, after
short interval, all of the Shriners In
full-dress suits, preceded by the Santa
Barbara band and the Arab patrol OF
twenty-five members in fantastic garo,
marched down Ocean boulevard in
open order to State street, and on to
the opera house. A great crowd viewed
the parade at the hotel, along state
street and at the opera house.
At the conclusion of the initiatory
ceremonies, all of the Shriners par
took of an elaborate banquet.
Sunday was passed in drives about
the city, in boating and bathing.
Postmaster Flint, who will be the
next potentate of Malakiah temple,
had charge of the pilgrimage and was
active and efficient in looking after all
details of the journey.

Burbank

Courage is one of the characteristics
of the Burbank stock company, and this
quality it exhibited in a marked de-
gree yesterday when it gave the initial
performance of that old Robson and
Crane success, 1.-THE Henrietta For
nothing of the present generation is
better known on the stage than this
same production by the men who first
made it so noted. Hence, the courage.
That is the first thing that the Bur-
bank people are to be credited with, in
reviewing this work. The next is their
not to follow too closely the stereotyped
original-had they done SO 1t would
have been more cause for tears than
laughter. They have been content to
give largely an Interpretation of their
own, and while some of them have
stuck pretty closely to their prototypes
others have departed far and wide.
The result is that we have new
Henrietta-reminisce of course, Of
the old and dear one, but at the same
time of interest for its very newness, as
we'll as for the excellence of it's depic-
ton.
The greatest departure from the
original in this respect is the character
Of Mrs. Opdyke, the widow. In this
rendition she is young and gay-as
Blanche Hall necessarily would play
her. But this merely adds to the mer-
riment. Monda Glendower is fully up
to the requirements of Agnes, and Jane
Kelton is good as Mrs. Van Altype, jr.
OF the men John Burton's characteri-
zation of Nick Van Alatyne is remark
ably fine-the best, in fact. Henry
Stockbridge celebrates his return as
BERTHE most capably, and Bennett
Southland is properly English as Lord
Arthur. The rest of the parts are quita
we'll handled ana the presentation is all
right.

WOMAN TRUSTY ILL AT JAIL
Mrs. Mccarty, Charged With Robbing
Women Prisoners, Will Go
to Hospital

Mrs. Jane McCarty, the woman
"trusty' who is charged with stealing
small change from the women recently
arrested in the raid of the "cribs,"
will be sent to the county hospital to-
day from the city Jail, where she has
been i'll for several days.
Mrs. .McCarty was arrested several
months ago on the charge of petit
larceny and was sentenced to term
of Imprisonment. For time she helped
the matron and apparently was the
most faithful "trusty' that had ever
been in the city jail.
Complaints reached the ears of the
police after the raid that many of the
women prisoners had lost small sums
of money.
Quietly the police worked on the
case until they discovered a consid-
erable sum hidden in the flour chest
Of the woman's ward in the jail.
Further inquiry placed the blame on
Mrs. McCarty.

STOCK COMPANY
CLOSES SEASON
GRAND PRESENTS PASTORAL
DRAMA
"York State Folks" Greeted by Two
Well Filled Houses Yesterday and
Travelling Companies Will
Reign for Season

Patrons of the Grand-and they are
distinct clientele among the theater-
goers of Los Angeles--had a surprise
yesterday. 1t was the resumption OF
the regular season of combination Of
ferings, and instead Of the usual blood
curdling shrieker and thriller, to which
they had become accustomed during
the summer, they were presented a
quiet pastoral play of little action, but
much pathetic heart interest-one of
those plays that starts the tears in sus-
ceptible eyes and tugs at the heart
strings in almost painful way. And
they actually enjoyed the change.
york State Folks" is one of series
of rural dramas that has had a great
run in the east. 1t is of sort with
"Shore Acres" 1.-THE Old Homestead"
and kindred dramas, and is of a class
almost by itself.
Being so largely devoid of the sort of
action that the Grand Is used to, it must
necessarily be strong in other ways to
catch that elemental following, and
that it took hold and fascinated two
large houses speaks exceedingly we'll
for>it.
Critical people might find much fault
with it, but the Grand following Is not
very prone to fault-finding, and so 1t
entered into the pathos that almost be-
comes bathos at intervals, and wept
and laughed and applauded most liber-
ally.
The plot of the play puts no strong
requirements on the cast, and in the
main the players are adequate, though
the company is weak in spots. Adel-
bert Knott as Myron Cooper, the hero,
an organist and organ builder, fully
meets the demands made upon him and
interprets his role faithfully.
Rhea Acton as Jennie. an orphan, Is
responsible for most of the weeps,
though very cleverly she refrains from
making the part too emotional, which
might easily be done.
The others are acceptable, and the
ensemble is all that could be asked,
while scenically the settings are ade-
ouate and even pleasing. The finale,
showing a. vision of the organ with an
angelic choir is strong.
The Grand will now enter an extended
series of plays offered by travelling
companies. If this is a sample of what
Is to be afforded the season will be most
welcome.

TIE LATHROP CASE.
Postmaster Guernsey Refuses to Ans
 swer Certain Dues :ions.

The Lathrop case has been ad. Jourued to tomorrow morning, coun- Sel engaged having other matters to attend to. The witnesses to-day were foStmaSter Guernsey and Peter Cur. ran of the Curran Bros, dry goods deal- CTS. Mir Guernsey was asked regard ing registered package supposed to contain jewelry. but he refused to tell anything about it, as he believed it would be violation of the postal laws. Mr Curran testified regarding living expenses
 Mrs Lathrop was on the stand the greater part of the forenoon and all of yesterday afternoon. Her evidence reialed mostly to the home life of her self and the defendant. After de- tendant had told her it would be bet. ter Tor them to part and had removed what he wished from tile house, he told her the rest of the goods were hers, or she considered them so. But alter she had placed an attachment for s5U,oOO on his Bank street property he went to the house and with the assist. ance of two officers removed almost all U contained.
 A num"er of letters were introduced which MT Lathrop had written his wlle when she was visiting out of town. Every one of these burned with the sincerest love and contained pass- ages of most exquisite tenderness. They all began My Dear Chubby" and then Mir Lathrop would go on to tell how lonesome he was and how he longed for her return.
 rreuLently Mr Lathrop would tell 1 his wife i'll the morning that he would not be home to lunch. but would have | some light refreshments, mostly clans, with Trends, until it seemed to Mrs Lathrop that there could not possibly be any more clans in Long Island. as | Mr Lathrop and his friends must sure ly have eaten them all.
 No husband ever told his wife how much he loved her or told her so often as Mr Lathrop did Mrs Latnrop.
 On the point of Postmaster Guern. seys refusal to testify about the pack. age. the attorneys w.ll ascertain Il ne is prohibited by law to tell what he | knoaS,
