EASTERN REALTY DEALER
PRAISES LOS ANGELES
RESIDENT OF TOLEDO COMPARES
TWO CITIES
A. X. DetweiIer Impressed With the
Steady Growth of the Angel City
and Says the Climate Is Far supe-
rior to That of Any Eastern Place

Los Angeles reminds me a great deal
of nv home city" said A. K. Detweiler,
a leading real estate dealer and bust
ness man of Toledo, Ohio, at the Ian
kershim yesterday. 1.-THE great growth
of Toledo during the last decade finds
it's best parallel in this wonderful city
of the southwest.
Now, to say this might not mean
much to some people, but it will carry
g weight of meaning to those who have
followed and are familiar with the his
tory of the leading municipalities. Fig
ures tell the story. Toledo's percentage
of increase for the ten years preced-
ing the last federal census was 6S, Civ
ing it rank among the very first. It's
progress since that time has been fully
as rapid as during any of the five
years included in the decade from 1890
to 1900. Los Angeles [ believe to be
one of the few places that will stand a
comparison of records. 1 find also that
the conditions of business growth in
the two cities is very similar. The ac-
QUESTIONS in the way of new concerns,
factories, hotels and the like have been
tremendous in the two cities and both
have nearly doubled in population with
in the last five years.
"Of course, when it comes to climate
we are not in the running, but our lack
of that Is somewhat compensated by the
fact that we have certain advantages
in the way of water transportation and
proximity to coal bearing regions for
fuel to run our manufacturing plants.
Toledo is, I am firmly convinced, just
on the brink of an era of unprecedented
prosperity. Close observers have made
the same prediction for Los Angeles
and I have no doubt it is founded on
reasonable grounds.
"I am on my fourth annual visit here
and each time 1 come L find many i'm
provements and everywhere signs of
wholesome growth.

PLAYERS MAKE
AUDREY SUCCESS
VERDICT OF THE AUDIENCE IS
FAVORABLE
Joseph Galbraith in the Role of the
Priggish Hero Carries Off All
the Honors of the
Production

It is more the players than the play
which makes a success of Audrey
at the BelasCo theater this week. Mary
Johnston's novel is drawn out six acts,
which the program designates as tab
leauX, and makes a very agreeable
spectacle of itself, not even neglecting
the dancing of the minuet, which no
self-respecting play laid in the
eighteenth century ever Omits. Accord
ing to Freytag and Price and the other
gods of dramatic technique, the play
probably lacks much. 1t is a house
built on sand, but it is a pleasant look
ing edifice while it stands
The large audience last evening liked
it and that verdict, it is easy to be-
lieVe, means more to the Belasco box
office than anything a text book on the
drama may record. 1t may be the prov
ince of the dramatic critic to point out
where such a play lacks sequence, con-
tinuity, proper arrangement of climaXes
or something of the sort according to
the erudition he is supposed to have
gained from research, but in so doing
he ought most certainly to become I'M
popular. What tells a delightful story
and moreover pleases the eye is a big
enough heartful for any theater-goer.
audrey" has romance, sentiment and
a dash of comedy, and all these things
are interviewer charmingly 1t has been
staged in George Barnum's best style
and this has not been said of any play
for many weeks.
Joseph Galbraith takes the honors.
He is rightly a favorite and he makes
the most of the rather priggish hero.
Howard Scott and George Barnum are
both cast so that they can make an
impression, but both have done better.
Mr. Vivian is de1iehtful as the fra
dian and shows he has had an intimate
acquaintance with actors. Robert
Dempster breaches a sermon in the
fifth act. For time it looked as though
no one would interrupt him and that
he would be likely to finish out the
evening at it. He gave it in a manner
that suggests the actor may have
missed his calling.
The play marked the debut of Miss
Eugene That's Lawton as the leading
woman of the company. Her great tall
ent and charms have been demon
strated here when she appeared recent
ly at the Belasco with White Whittle-
sey. She is even better than before
and there is much satisfaction among
the patrons, who were in constant fear
lest Manager Price would take another
journey to the east and pick out an
other from that section. Miss Lawton
plays the role of Audrey with grace and
a distinctiveness that are winning.
Among the others of the long cast
who were most noticeable were Bertha
Blanchard, who looked beautiful In a
red wig; Margaret Langham, who fur
nished an entertaining comedy in the
chatterbox dressmaker, and Louise
Royce, who was good in a straight"
part.

FRAUD CHARGED
AGAINST MOTHER
MRS. BIRDIE BABC0CK SUES
PARENT
VIII Supposed to Have Been Left by
Woman's Husband Cannot Be
Found, According to
Testimony

Charging her mother with fraud in
the use of guardianship funds, Mrs.
Birdie A. Babcock of Redondo yester-
day brought suit against her aged
parent Mrs. Elvin H. Andross for S12,-
900 before Judge Bordwell In depart
ment of the superior court.
The suit against Mrs Andross is as
serted by her to be a most ungrateful
act on the part of her daughter as both
the younger woman and her husband
have been the guests of Mrs. Andross
for the past year.
According to the story told in court
yesterday by the daughter her father
died at Riverside when she was years
of age. Her mother at that time is
alleged to have claimed that will was
left in which all the money was left to
her, the widow
The death of the father occurred in
1879, and in 1881 the estate, which con-
sisted for the most part, of property
in Iowa, was sold and the mother took
charge of the receipts after having
been appointed guardian for the baby
girl.
Mrs. Andross invested some of her
money in three lots in Riverside for
which she paid $3.50. These lots she
later sold for nearly $4,000, as one was
on the main street of the city.
Now She Is Wealthy
Her property grew aid her real estate
deals prospered until she is now said
to be worth 100000.
Mrs. 'Andross' daughter married three
years ago and shortly afterward her
husband moved to Iowa and went into
business there. A little more than Il
year ago he sold out his business and
came to Los Angeles % live with his
mother-in-law, and it was only in the
past four mInths that any question
about the will was brought up
AT the suggestion of the husband, ac-
cording to his statements on the wit
ness stand yesterday, correspondence
was opened with the county clerk of
Linn, Iowa. and it was discovered that
no will had been made, and the daugh-
ter was therefore entitled to $666.66 of
the original money. 1t is for this sum
that the daughter has brought suit.
The plaintiffs claim that the mother
invested this money belonging to the
daughter in the Riverside real estate
and concealed the fact from her ward
and that therefore the daughter is en-
titled to the entire amount of sale price
with interest. The mother claims the
money which bought the property was
insurance money left her by the death
of her husband.
The money, every cent of it, went
for the care of that girl" said Mrs.
Andross yesterday. She was entitled
to a small share at the death of her
father, but that was twenty-six years
ago, and twenty-four years of that
time 1 have been supporting her ana
caring for her. That money did not
amount to a drop in the bucket if the
money used in her rearing and educa-
ton training is to be considered.
II gave her $1,000 a short time after
her marriage, but as her husband does
not work that was soon used up, and
she has brought suit to get more money
for him. 1 have taken care of them
for a year and this is their gratitude"
The case was taken under submission.

CHINESE GIRL TO
BECOME REPORTER
MARGARET JESSIE CHUNG HAS
ASPIRATIONS
Miss of Sixteen Years Speaks English
as Well as Does Any One-Ex-
poets to Enter News
paper Work

Margaret Jessie Chung, who dresses,
talks and studies as an American girl,
notwithstanding the fact that she is
Chinese, desires to enter the newspaper
work. Miss Chung intends to become
q reporter.
This ambitious young woman was
Just 16 years old one week ago last
Monday.
She is a constant reader of books and
papers, so much so that her friends
have called her a "bookworm." She
speaks English fluently as well as
Chinese. Though but in the seventh
grade in the public schools she talks
the language with an ease and ac-
curacy in terms excelled by few Ameri-
can girls of the same age.
Nor is she a young woman of one
idea. Besides her wish to write she
is teaching English in the Chinese
colony. In addition to this she has
been secretary of the Mylcreest Memo
rial union of Mylcreest church for
nearly a year.
Miss Chung is thoroughly American
in spirit, in dress and ambition There
is an American air about the modest
home of her parents out at 224O East
Seventh street that suggests that the
entire family are ripe for citizenship.
The first thing that strikes the eye
when the front door is open is picture
of President Roosevelt and family. In
the house are books, papers and signs
of literary taste The telephone is
there. too. The children's names sound
familiar to American ears. In the order
of age they are: Margaret Jessie, An
drew, Anna. William, Virgil, Venus and
Florence.
When a Herald reporter expressed
surprise at all these evidences of Ameri-
can spirit in a Chinese family, Miss
Chung smiled pleasantly and said:
"Chinese people can progress as well as
other people and will do so when given
a chance. China will no doubt gradual
ly awaken and take to the ways o.
the most progressive nations. The en-
pire has been held back by the ira
ditions of the past and is at present
hampered by the dowager empress, but
patriotic Chinese all over the world are
taking steps toward modern methods in
China
All this appears to be creditable
discourse for a girl of 16 of any ma
tionality.

HAD TO HIDE 1T

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
so good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it so
much-they know it makes
them feel good
