SHOWS GREAT ART
IN IBSEN PLAY
BLANCHE HALL APPEARS IN
"A DOLLS HOUSE"
MORE REHEARSALS NEEDED
Work Of Clever Young Actress and
Harry Mestayer Saves Piece
From Failure-Theater
Is Crowded

Another Isben afternoon was given
to the theater-goers Of Los Angeles
yesterday at the Burbank where "A
Dolls House" was presented by the
Burbank stock company. The theater
was crowded and the play will be re-
peated next Wednesday afternoon.
The play was a triumph for Blanche
Hall, who portrayed the silly girl wife,
Nora Helmer. with a display of art
that was most remarkable in some re-
spects, considering the length of time
allowed her for the study and rehear-
sal of the role. More study would
have toned down her work to a great
extent, for the loftiness of the authors
intentions and the big audience called
together by the special matinee were a
shock to her nerves so that she showed
some lack of reserve and steadiness.
But she gave an excellent exposi-
tion of the development of the char
dcter of Nora which the author in
tended to impart She showed the
needless, fluttering little "song bird"
of the opening act clearly and artlessly.
She wrought herself into the narra-
tive and stayed there. She made Nora
the domesticated pet which was in
tended. fluent in her little subterfuges
and concealments, bewitching in her
self important interest In her little
affair of the Christmas tree and eager
only for her happiness and the happi-
ness of her husband and children.
The play as a whole lacked much. 1t
was crude in both action and thought
and was poorly worked out The cast
was not notable, but each, with the
exception of Miss Hall, gave a most
professionally conventional perform
ance. Harry Mestayers interpreta-
tion of the role of Krogstad stood out
vividly and is on the whole worthy of
special mention.
The play will undoubtedly benefit
much by another week Of rehearsal and
next Wednesdays performance should
be worth going to see by those who are
interested in Ibsen.

OFFICER CHARGED WITH
SOLICITING "HUSH MONEY
Deputy Sheriff PIo sepulveda Taken
Into Custody on a Warrant
AIIeunu Bribery

Deputy Sheriff Plo SepulVeda Taken
Into Custody on a Warrant
Alleging Bribery
The first indictment by the Los An
geles county grand jury since it was
impaneled three months ago was re-
turned yesterday, in which Deputy
Sheriff Pho Sepulveda is charged with
Joseph Sgrena of West Glendale for $50
to keep quiet about the existence of
an alleged "blind pig"
Sepulveda was arrested yesterday and
placed under $1,000 bond, which he fur
nished.
The actions which brought about the
indictment of the officer are said to
have occurred several weeks ago.
Sgrena charges that Sepulveda went
to him and promised that if he (Sgrena)
would pay Sepulveda $50 he would not
tell of the existence of the "blind pig"
Sgrena refused and compromise of
$35 was decided upon, which Sgerna al
leges he paid to Sepulveda.
Sgrena says that when Sepulveda
heard that the grand jury was on his
trail he returned the money.
Several days later Deputy District
Attorney Fleming and squad of
deputy constables made a raid on the
pigs of the San Fernando road and
Deputy Jack Adams was sent to
Sgrena's place at West Glendale. Five
patrons of the place attacked the officer,
who handcuffed Sgrena and threw him
into a wagon and drove away. He was
later fined $3.50 on a charge of violating
the liquor ordinance.

FINANCIAL LOSSES
AFFECT MANS MIND
Examined by Insanity Commission and
Released on Promise to Go to
a Sanltarium


a Sanltarium
AS a result of worry over recent
losses in the failure of the Cumulative
Credit company, j. w. Packer of Los
Angeles was tried before the commits
sion in Judge Bordwelps department
Of the superior court yesterday ON a
charge of insanity.
Packer explained to the court that
he had put all his savings, about $500,
in the Cumulative Credit company and
had lost every cent. He asserted he
had improved since being sent to the
county hospital and would go to a
sanitarium if the charge against him
was dismissed.
Packers son, who has remained de-
votedly by his father during all the
insanity proceedings, took the stand
and promised to accompany his father
to some quiet place of rest and re-
treat until the mental collapse passes.
Packer was discharged.
John Holman and Joseph P. Arbo-
lais were ordered committed by the in
sanity commission yesterday.

HARTMAN Representative
TALKS
FAvoRS NEW UNION STATION
J. kruttschnitt Asserts Vast Expendi-
lures Will Be Made at San Pedro
and Is Inspecting Properties
In That City Today

]. Kruttschnitt, next to e. H. Harri-
man most important parsonage in the
management of the Hartman system
of railroads, arrived in Los Angeles
last night by special train from San
Francisco and during the next two days
will make a close inspection of the
Southern Pacific properties at this
point.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt was met at Santa
Barbara by General superintendent r.
H. Ingram, the personnel of the party
accompanying the railroad director be-
ing General Manager Calvin, General
superintendent Palmer of the northern
district and Superintendent Burkhalter
of the San Joaquin division of the
Southern Pacific.
While Mr.. Kruttschnitt says his visit
to Los Angeles is merely one of inspec-
ton his presence here is taken to mean
that the Southern Pacific is about to
enter upon a larger plan of construc-
ton of docks and warehouses at San
Pedro than has yet been given to the
public.
Plan Big improvements
1--WE already have large interests at
San Pedro and have spent great deal
of money there" he said. I'VE shall
probably have to make large improve
ments and spend a great deal more
money in doing so, as it is the intention
Of the company to develop the property
to its fullest capacity. No, / have no
knowledge of prospective steamship
line between San Pedro and the Orient"
He smiled when the subject of new
shed was mentioned. The question has
become one of embarrassment for all
officials of the company. "A new sta
ton will undoubtedly have to come"
said Mr.. Kruttschnitt, land in gen.
eral way the plans have been talked
over, but nothing has been settled.
should not object to a union station.
provided the lines centering in Los An
geles could agree upon a site. I
broached such a plan to Senator w. A.
clark elSnI months ago anu ne Hedrlily
favored it, but I have heard nothing
from him on the subject since that time.
Touching upon traffic conditions, I
may say that the Hartman system is
looking forward to the largest business
in it's history. There appears to be no
let up in the marvellous development
of the west. Two years ago believed
we had reached the limit, but that point
is not yet in sight.
Ordering New Cars
when 1 left Chicago six weeks ago
there was an order for 4500 box cars
for immediate delivery After had
seen the great crops being harvested in
Kansas, Nebraska and Washington I
increased the order to 5000 cars.
I'VE are working toward the double
tracking of the system, beginning by
putting out short spurs from important
terminal centers. During the coming
year we shall double track the Southern
Pacific from Los Angeles to Burbank.
1.-THE gasoline motor cars are giving
perfect satisfaction. OF the six now
being built at Omaha two will be sent
