CRAZED INVALID TRIES
TO LEAP FROM WINDOW
Policeman Saves Life of n. p. Gordon,
Whose Madness Takes a
pecuiiar Turn

Peculiar Turn
While temporarily demented by the
ravages of catarrh in his head, which
was also aggravated by the free inter-
nal application of whisky, Henry P.
Gordon, visitor from Alpena, Mich,
attempted to jump from a second-story
window at $40 San Julian street last
evening. That he did not succeed was
due mainly to the efforts of Policeman
McGraw, who responded to the call
for help from the raving mans friend,
Ignace Roberge.
Gordon has been suffering from ca
tarrh for some time, and about a
month ago he left his Michigan home
in order to come to Los Angeles to try
the effects of change of climate. He
went to Catalina for a short time and
last Tuesday returned to the city, TAX
ing rooms at house on San Julian
street.
Wednesday he began drinking and
began to rave. The spree eliminated
yesterday evening when he attempted
to jump out of the window. His friend
Roberge, who was in the room at the
time, seized the raving man and
shouted for help.
Policeman McGraw responded at once
and got there just as Gordon had
thrown off Roberge and was about to
jump. The officer and four other men
finally overcame Gordon and took him
to headquarters.
When searched at the police station
1t was found that Gordon was $25 short
in his funds. When questioned he
freely admitted that he had given the
money away, $40 piece to two men
and IS to a woman. but who they were
he would not say.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
"The Fools Revenge"

"The Fools Revenge" as presented
last evening by st. Vincent's Dramatic
club, would have done credit to much
older organization, it being the first
play to be presented by this club. The
members all possess much talent,
which has been carefully trained by
Rev. F. x. McCabe, C. NJ, vice presi-
dent of the college. The costuming
and scenery were all that could be
asked, The play was presented in its
entirety as given by Edwin Booth, and
bespeaks much for the credit Of those
participating. The play was in three
acts with five scenes.
The honors of the evening were car
ried off by Miss Estelle LIE Sage, as
Fiordeisa, daughter of Bertuccio, and
Albert Forthman as Bertuccio, jes-
ter. Miss lie Sage has taken part In
other amateur productions, always
winning applause. She is a young
lady of great talent and with fine
stage presence, which combined with a
Mr.. Forthman Is graduate OF st.
Vincent's college and has taken part

The play deals with Bertuccio, a

! better days and wishes to revenge the
abduction of his wife and in so doing,
in a chain of strange but possible cir
curnstances, assists to steal his daugh-
ter in the place of Countess Malatesta.
He gloats in demoniac glee. followed
by paroxysms of anguish on finding
his mistake. The play ends with the
rescue of his daughter and his death.

ia TraviataD Tonight

Mr.. Ellery is particularly gratified
at the lively interest that is being
taken by the public in the performance
by his band of Verdis LA Traviata, -
which the grand old man of music
himself regarded as his most perfect
work. This "Traviata" music is in
style directly opposed to the modern
complex school in that 1t portrays
fundamental human emotions in the
simplest of melodic measures. In this
work there is no elaborate orchestra
ton, but Verdi has been so wonder
fully happy In fitting his music to the
development of Dumas celebrated
drama that no person with even the
smallest measure of sentiment in his
composition can fail to be transported
with delight at listening to phrases OF
such perfect beauty.
La Traviata" will be given tonight
at the Chutes theater by special re-
quest of the many music lovers who
were not able to attend the perform
ance of a week ago Friday. when
Verdi's melodic master-work created SO
profound an impression.
