ANOTHER WEEK OF 'PARSIFAL'
Belasco Management to Continue Its
Great Dramatic Success

'Parsifal" has fairly landed as
'craze" in Los Angeles. 1t was an
nounced by the management of the
Belasco theater last evening that the
demand for seats has been so enormous
that the production will be continued
for another week.
1t was realized on the opening day
of the advance sale of seats that this
drama was destined to establish a
new record at the Belasco theater. The
best seats for the entire week were
all taken by the day following.
Frederic Belasco left yesterday for
San Francisco. He was immensely
pleased with the manner in which this
production. staged under his direction,
met with the approval of the people
of Los Angeles. I'm putting it on in
San Francisco" he said, II learned
many things. and can say that this
production here far eXcels the Frisco
play. / was particularly anxious to
have this play success for many
reasons. 1t is a theme which should
only be handled on a big scale or not
at all. And then l wanted 1t to be an
advertisement of what we could do

BOTH EAGER FOR DIVORCE
Woman Says Husband Urged Her to
File Suit

Judge Trask yesterday put Mrs. Hat
tie Agnes Kenyon through severe
grilling In connection with her petit
tion for divorce from Charles Ken
yon, lumber magnate of considerable
repute.
The matrimonial difficulties of the
young wife date back to the hour when
her husband, as she says, urged her to
attend a spiritualistic meeting. Mrs.
Kenyon did not feel inclined to COM
mune with the invisible creatures, and
when she refused 1t is charged her
husband called her fool and an
idiot"
Mrs. Kenyon also told the court that
her husband was close when 1t came
to tailoring expenditures
Mrs. Kenyon says by implication she
consented to board her mother-in-law,
but when her husband brought q
strange woman into the house as her
she objected. Much worse
than this, the plaintiff told the court

GONE FOREVER; WIFE DIVORCED
Frank r. Parsons Gets Decree on the
Ground of Desertion

Frank r. Parsons first learned ths
true meaning of the term, domestic ir-
felicity" when he returned to his home
about a year ago and found his wife
gone and his home denuded of all its
furnishings.
Mrs. Annie M. Parsons was young
and comely, and Parsons was young
and prosperous, but Mrs. Parsons. it Is
alleged, did not like to assume the re-
sponslbilities of married life, and she
decided to leave her husband forever.
AS Mrs. Parsons told her husband
that she had gone forever" Judge
York held that her return was. a mere
question of speculation, and in order to
relieve the young man of unnecessary
anxiety, the divorce was granted.

CHILDREN'S CHORUS TOO

Manager Cline of the Innes band

Things as regards the festivals are
IN fine shape. 1 heard Professor jain S
chorus sing last night, and it is away
ahead of what l expected With nearly
this is very encouraging. Miss Stone
has more children rehearsing than the
auditorium will hold, so we will have
a great chorus there. The auxiliary
organizations we invited to take part
have all joined hands, and the whole
proposition will not fail to be a dis
tinct credit to the city
THE whole festival is on a business
like and broad civic basis, and l have
wired Mr.. Innes to prepare for the

WOMAN Of 70
GRANTED DIVORCE
WELL KNOWN COUPLE ARE
SEPARATED
Plaintiffs First Husband Built the
Nadeau Hotel in Los Angeles.
Property Division
Made

For the most part because her hus-
band called her a fool and other less
endearing terms, Mrs. Laura M. Nc
Kay asked Judge York yesterday in
the superior court to grant her di-
vorce from Donald D. Mckay
Before her marriage to Mckay the
plaintiff was Mrs. Laura M. Nadeau
her first husband having built the Ma
deau hotel.
Both parties to the matrimonial diff
Guilty are reputed to be wealthy, but
as a property settlement has been ar
rived at outside of court, this question
was not argued.
In her testimony Mrs. Mckay, who
is now nearly 20 years of age, told the
court that her husbands conduct
caused her an unnatural amount of
worry, which resulted in a severe ILL
ness.
1t appears from the testimony that
Mckay was not particularly friendly
to his wife's niece, who stood in a con-
fidential relation to Mrs. Mckay, in
connection with her varied property in
terests.
1t is alleged that Mckay had an
irascible temper. When the affairs of
life did not move in their natural and
even course, it Is claimed that Mckay
gave vent to his wrath.
Mckay failed to put in an appear
ance, and Judge York had only one
thing to do. and that was to grant the
divorce.

FORMATION OF STATE
REALTY BOARD PLANNED
Invitation to Hold Convention in
Los Angeles Has Been
Sent Out

From present Indications a conven-
tion will be held In Los Angeles dur
ing May or June that will be called TO
form state realty board association.
being a federation of local bodies with
memberships from towns in which there
are no local realty boards.
This plan has been outlined by Secre-
tary Herbert Burdett of the Los An
geles realty board, and invitations for
such a gathering are being sent from
his office.
During a recent visit to most of the
largest towns of the state, south of
Sacramento, Secretary Burdett was in
strumental in the organization of local
boards where they did not exist, and
upon his report to the effect that the
project of a state association met with
almost unanimous approval. He was
authorized by the governing commit
tee of the Los Angeles board to pro-
mote the holding of a convention as
soon as practicable.
The objects of the state body will be
probably much. the same as those Of
the local board, but it's work will be
confined to matters of general and state
interest. 1t will undoubtedly promote
good fellowship and fair dealing ana
endeavor to protect both its members
and the public in general from ire
sponsible. unprincipled and dishonest
dealers" to quote the constitution Of
the local board, which has been taken
as model in other cities where organ
izations have been effected.
