BARNUM SCORES
TREMENDOUS HIT.
BELASC0 PLAY C0NVULSES
AUDIENCE
Fortunate Theatergoers Who Braved
Rain Well Repaid by Excellent
Production of "Why Smith
Left Home"

The press agents have so often cried
''Whirlwind of laughter" and Cyclone
of mirth' falsely that the public have
grown skeptical and this was proved
last evening by the fact that so many
people allowed so small a thing as Il
rain to keep them away from such a
truly amusing farce as "Why Smith
Left Home" which opened at the Be
laSco theater. There are no phrases
to properly describe the effect of the
play without seeming eXtravagance.
Last evenings small audience made
a noise out of all proportion to it's
size.
The farce is unique 1t rings true
to degree that satisfies the most
hlase theatergoer, and from the rise
of the first curtain until the final
drop it is one ever increasing roar of
laughter for the audience.
The honors of the evening are George
Barnum's not only for his remarka Bile
Interpretation of one of the best far
cical characters ever presented in Los
Angeles, but also for the swing which
his dictatorship gave to the whole, and
for the unusually excellent stage eff
fects. Mr.. Barnum has already made
himself famous for this characterize
tion in New York and London, and in
attempting criticism of his work in
ing but growl where the lions have
roared.
Here is presented an example of
farce at it's best. and as it ought al
ways to be played. So far as the audi
ence sees Mr.. Barnum never knows
that he is being funny. 1t is because
Count Won Guggenheim is so perfectly
serious and so much in earnest in his
affairs that he becomes so ridiculous.
Mr.. Barnums dialect is the creation
of his genius, and his manner in pass
ing this battered English across the
footlights makes a speciality that the
vaudeville circuit must look at with
terrific longing. 1t cannot be imagined
that Mr.. Broadhurst, the author, con-
ceived how funny he was making the
dialogue with the simple words, mo,
Yaas."
Joseph Galbraith becomes of minor
importance in the cast this week. 1t
is suspected that Mr.. Galbrath knows
that he is funny, and some of his
tricks for the gallery are coming dam
gerously near the slap-stick variety.
Richard Vivian is excellent in a small
role Virginia Brissac was not so al
Turing as her role in Cay Parisians"
shows that she might have been in this
part of the maid. Louise Royce does
some clever character work as the
"cook lady" Florence Oberle pre-
sents a charming maid and Margaret
Langham does we'll in small, diff
cult role.
Howard Scott deserves special men
tion for one of the best of his many
splendid character drawings.

lasco stage in one of her popular

WOUNDED MAN
Detectives Believe Frank Mcdonald,
Shot by Officer in Running
Battle, is Wanted in
Bristol, Tenn.

Frank Mcdonald, who was shot by
Detective Roberds Sunday in a rum
ming pistol fight with Patrolman w.
A. King and Detectives Roberds and
Ritch, when he attempted to resist ar
rest on warrant charging him with
burglary, is suspected of being Grant
M. Walk, a former policeman who is
wanted in Bristol Tenn, for the mur-
der of S. Houston Chidress on Febru-
ary Z, 1903
on May %, 1908, Walk escaped from
the Sullivan, Tenn, county Jail and
has since been at large.
When questioned by Chief of Police
Auble yesterday, Mcdonald would only
reiterate his statements of Sunday
afternoon. to the effect that he came
to this city from Grand Rapids, Mich,
and has since worked here as a la
borer.
Mcdonald is still detained at the re-
ceiving hospital, where he was taken
after the fight with the officers and
detectives. Several times during the
day the police surgeons questioned
him. The wounded prisoner is said
to have given as many as three dis
tinctly different stories concerning his
past and his identity. This only adds
to the belief on the part of the police
that he is the escaped murderer Of
Childress. A thorough Investigation
will be made. The authorities of Bris-
tol and Sullivan county have been COM
municated with and also the Grand
Rapids police.
Mcdonald still refuses to state where
he lives in this city. The police are
making a thorough search in the city
for his room, believing that material
leading to the discovery of his identity
would be found

POLYTECHNIC GETS HEATER
New School Quickly Made Comfort
abe-Buiding Committee Makes
Report to Beard

Heat was for the first time turned
into the new Polytechnic school yester-
day morning. j. II. Schick, engineer
of the high school. stated that the build
ing was comfortable within twenty
minutes of the time when heat was
turned into the rooms.
The building committee OF the school
board made report to the board last
night that it had caused temporary
heating plant to be Installed in he
new Polytechnic school and that Il
rental of $4.45 d day is to be paid to the
machinery and electrical company until
the permanent apparatus is installed.
1t was estimated by engineers preScnt
at the meeting that $1,000 will cover
the cost of the permanent heating plant
and that a perfectly satisfactory equip
ment can be installed for that sum.
A motion was passed giving the build
ing committee authority to advertise for
bids on the apparatus as specified by
the board.
j. e. Schick, the engineer of the high
school, was transferred to the Poly
technic
The matter of tuition was transferred
to the teachers committee, which was
given power to act in the matter. 1t
was decided that the tuition should
be paid to the superintendent of the
y
month.
Librarian Lummis asked for eighteen
kindergarten chairs for the university
sub-station of the library. The request
was filed.
Acting on the request of eighty-one
principals of schools representing the
entire force of teachers in the city a
resolution was passed asking the coun-
ell to pass an ordinance prohibiting
any vender from selling or giving any
article to school children within 500 feet
of the school building. This was done
to protect the children from agents
who annoy them in the recess hour ana
after school by asking them to buy va .
rious articles.

leave of absence be granted to Caroline

MAKES PROTEST
AGAINST CUSTER
LIBRARIAN WANTS TO STAY IN
CITY HALL
Mr.. Lummls Requests Council to Not
Only Refrain From Drastic Action,
but to Render institution
Financial Aid

Undanunted by the decision Of the
council to oust It from its present
quarters in the third story Of the city
hall, the library through Librarian
Lummis, yesterday asked the council
TO not only refrain from such drastic
action, but to provide suitable quar-
ters for the library outside of the city
hall and pay the rent out of city funds.
In order to see what may be done
for the best interests of all concerned,
the finance committee of the council
will confer with the board of library
directors on the question. AS Coun-
Gilman Smith, who is the father of
the movement to have the library pay
its own rent is chairman Of the fin
ance committee, members of the coun-
ell believe that the situation is not
the brightest for the library.
In his address to the council yes
terday, Librarian Lummis stated that
to move out of it's present quarters
would cost the library $500 for the
mere transportation of its goods and
chattels.
viii Be Self Supporting
In addition to this thousands of dol
lars of expense would be incurred in
buying new furniture, building addi-
llOIldl SHtlNtS anu OlIlGI FEATURES, III
addition to the rent, which would be
at least 5000 a month, without counting
light heat and other incidental ex-
penses.
Mr.. Lummis stated that out of the
librarys appropriation there was less
than $21,000 available for current eX-
penses for the rest of the fiscal year,
and that If the council insisted on it's
custer notice the additional expenses
to be incurred would either have to
come out of the fund for the pur-
chase of books or the Salaries of en-
ployes.
The librarian predicted that in the
course of few years, with the pres
ent growth of the city as criterion,
the assessed valuation of property
would reach a point where the Ii
brary's four mill appropriation allowed
it by charter would make an income
of $S5,O00, and that when that happy
day arrived the library would be self
supporting.
But until that time, he said, the
council must do something to help it
along. According to the city asses
sor's figures, the library's appropri-
alton for next year will be $4,000.
