LADY Of LYONS
ARTISTIC TREAT
WHITE WHITTLEsEY ExCELS
IN GREAT PLAY
BELAsCo STANDARD UPHELD
5ulwer-Lytton's Famous Work ls Pre-
sented More Than Satisfactorily.
Stars Supporting Company
Does clever Work

Belasco's stock company Is furnish
ing this week production Of Bulwer-
Lytton's famous romance, "The Lady
Of Lyons" which is in every respect
consistent with this theater's high ar
tistlc standard established In Its sea-
son of notable offerings Of the best in
the drama. Belasco's stands by itself
In keeping its prices reasonable and
yet making It's appeal through the
works Of the best writers and with an
artistic force that has seldom been ex-
celled in Los Angeles this theatrical
season.
In the aristocracy of playdom 1.-THE
Lady Of Lyons has long held high
rank and last nights audience demon
strated that the play is still serviceable.
1t is not likely that the plays numer-
GUS defects will ever disqualify 1t and
its virtues are many. There are few
plays which have been so enthusiastic
cally praised and so violently con-
demned as this prose poem Of the stage
being great drama. 1t affords by far
the best role for White Whittlesey of
anything the star has yet presented
here and it is easy to understand why
he announced this as his favorite play
In an interview he gave when he was
here before. 1t is the older style Of ro-
mantle play wherein men live dramatic
lives and talk in poetry, but although
they are generally artificial they make
an appeal that to many Is far stronger
than the prosaic, blase type Of the mod
ern drama. Whittlesey has a grace OF
manners and a. charm of personality
that is exactly Claude Melnotte and the
character gives an opportunity for ex-
cellent display of his powers Of elocu-
tion. He enters into the spirit of his
part with evident love and is almost
perfect when he breathes to his lady
love such mellihuous periods as those
word-pictures beginning:
"A palace lifting to eternal summer
| It's marble walls, from out glossy
bower Of coolest foliage, musical with
birds, whose songs should syllable thy
name! At noon we'd sit beneath the
arching vines, and wonder why earth
could be unhappy. while the heavens
still left us youth and love-"
| There are few actors who could give
these famous passages more exquisite
shading than did Whittlesey last even
ing.
Miss Eugenia That's Lawton was ef.
| fective as Pauline. Mary Graham pre-
sented an excellent picture Of tht
widow Melnotte, and Marie Howe gave
an excellent Interpretation of Pauline's
mother. The others were satisfactory
| in coloriess roles.
The play is staged in five acts and
many scenes, and some beautiful scenic
effects are produced. 1t is one Of the
most delightful and satisfying plays OF
the season.

FIREWORKS START FIRE
CAUSING LOSS OF $1,000
THREE HORSES ARE BURNED TO
DEATH IN BARN
Four Residences and Stable Ablaze at
Same Time, and Entire Block at
Eleventh street and Central Ave-
nue. Threatened With Destruction

"The small boy is getting in his des-
tructive work rather early in the
game" said Central avenue police
man last night as he watched the fire
department in its efforts at saving a
barn, three horses and four houses
from destruction by fire which is said
to have been started by the indiscrim-
mate display Of fireworks by boys in
the neighborhood.
The fire, which for a time threatened
destruction to an entire block at Elev-
enth street and Central avenue, was
discovered shortly after 10 o'clock by
a pedestrian on Central avenue, who
turned In an alarm.
When the department arrived the
barn in the rear Of the residence Of ].
Roberts, 1149 East Eleventh street, was
practically reduced to ashes and three
horses confined in 1t were dead. The
flames were spreading to the residence
OF Roberts, r. D. Champlain and H.
Delmonte, all being ablaze at the same
time. Sparks started a fire on the roof
Of the residence Of Mrs. s. Smith in the
same block. fronting on Tenth street.
A second alarm was sent in and the
companies succeeded in extinguishing
the fires on the residences after dam
age of $4,000 had been incurred. The
heaviest loser is Roberts, owner Of the
barn and horses, although his loss is
lessened by $1,000 insurance. The dam
age to the four houses was slight. the
fire being confined to the roofs and
sides Of the buildings and gained but
slight headway before the arrival OF
the fire department.

Farms Bought TO Make Room
For Cottage Sites at
BraddOck.

Mr.. Emory l.. Coblentz has pur-
chased Mrs. Mahala F. Holtel's
farm of 1872 acres and the farm Of
Mr.. Carlton II. Dean, containing
14l acres. both situated south Of
and adjoining the Bra d d 0 C k
Heights resort.
Mr.. Coblentz purchased these
farms for a syndicate which will
throw them open for building sites
and otherwise develop them. The
growth of Braddock Heights as a
popular summer resort has been
so rapid that the need of more
land has become a necessity and
this land is certainly we'll adopted
for the purpose.
For some time there has been a
desire to have a public road on
top Of the mountain as far as the
Dean farm, and this project will
now likely be accomplished. The
probability is that the purchase of
these two farms will result in
building up and developing Brad
dock Heights on a most extensive
scale.
