MANSFIELD GIVEN
GREAT OVATION
FITTED BY NATURE FOR
BEAU BRUMMEL"
Actor Appears at His Best In charac-
terizstion of Polished Man Of
Manners-His Support
Is Ordinary

Richard Mansfield made friends
again with Los Angeles last evening.
II there fingers here the least resent
ment because the artist has slighteu
this city i'm recent years, there was no
trace Of it shown at last nights per-
formance. There was something almost
idolatrous in the enthusiasm he eX-
cited. as though he were a royal per-
sonage before lovers of royalty.
He has won his crown by dint OF
hard labor and fidelity to his highest
ideals. He has pursued his policy con-
sistentlv and stopped neither to the
sensational nor sphacelus drama to
catch the pennies of the public. Last
evenings magnificent audience gave
the actor an ovation which was more
than an appreciation of his acting of
Bean Brummel," it included a recog-
milton of what this artist stands for
in his relation to the drama of today.
Mr.. Mansfield was at his best last
evening. His formal sense is most
exquisite, and although a superfluity
of polish often kills the humanity of
his character, yet it makes his work
shine forth like good deed in a
naughty world, He has found in Beau
Brummel type peculiarly fitted to
this style. The hero is n man of man
ners and this finds such response in
the qualities which go to make the
becomes one of the most convincing
that Mansfield ever offered TO the
public.
But this is not all that Mansfield
brings into the life of the dandy. In
his hands 1t speaks n various language
and under the smooth exterior the
audience catches glimpses of the soul
beneath until the despair in the final
act gives to the actor opportunity of
contrasting his lighter passages with
a. darker tone and the whole power of
the player is revealed.
The star stood alone in the produce
tion OF Beau Brummel." Neither the
other members of the company nor
the scenic vesture was of n standard
to detract in the least from the CEN
trail figure. With a few exceptions the
company is composed of very ordinary
players. The scenery was of an in
1erior order.
Leslie Kenyon made himself a IA
vorite in the role of Lord Manley, and
Walter Wenman was excellent in the
character role of the city merchant.
Clarence Handyside presented the
Prince of Wales in an acceptable
manner.

TO THE PUBLIC:
Your attention is hereby respectfully
called to the fact that the display about
premises of Christmas green's harvest
specimens and other inilammable ma
terials, such as cotton to represent
snow and the like, introduces an addi-
tlonal hazard not contemplated by the
underwriters in issuing policies of in
demnity covering the usual fire hazard.
and in this connection we refer you to
one of the conditions of the standard
form of fire Insurance policy wherein
1t Is stipulated that:
This entire policy unless
otherwise provided by agree
ment indOrSed hereon or added
hereto shall be void" ctc; "if
the hazard be increased by any
means within the control or
Knowledge Of the insured"
In addition to the hazard to property
from displays referred to, the dangcl,
TO life in crowded stores or places of
meeting by reason OF a panic Occa-
stoned by fire even though it be Sma II
ana easily controlled, is so great that
the Underwriters, who have made a
study or such hazards would only lie

ran to give warning.

EVA WESTCoTT FEATURE
OF 0RPHEUM NEW BILL

With as good entertainment as is af-
forded by this weeks bill at the Or
pheum, that home of mirth and variety
VIII not experience any difficulty In Sc
curing good houses for the daily mat
inees which commence this week. There
is not as much comedy I'm the bill as
is usually expected in vaudeville, but
there is some particularly fine music
and some good acting and dancing.
The most original thing ia the entire
list is Miss Eva WestcOttts "An Fpi-
sode of Modern Life" which is all to-
the good excepting the title, which
might as well be Alice and John" or
"They" for all the idea It carries. The
little one act playlet was written by
which a wife, unconscious Of her hus-
bands death as he is sitting in his
chair, rattles away over a lot of So
ciety frivolities and preparations for a
masquerade ball
The Esmeralda Sisters and their sup
port of -Four Flower Girls introduced a
pretty little act with some neat and
artistic dances. Dixon and Anger with
some German comedy. and Lucy and
Lucier in "The FOOLS Errand' fur
nished the only comedy on the bill, and
it came in excellent contrast to the
more serious acts. Charles Leonard
Fletcher has a new series of character
studies, and he too plays tragedy. "At
the Telephone i'm which he acts the
part of man talking to his wife over
a phone. While he is talking to her
he hears burglars enter the house and
murder his wife and children, while
he is a long distance away and has not
even time to telephone to neighbors for
help.
The Fadette orchestra has n new pro-
gram which is if anything better than
that of last week, the Nandel Largo"
being rendered with especially fine ef-
feet. Troba, the strong man and Jug
gler, is the last of the Orpheum fea-
lures. making up one of the best bills
of the season.
