PRODUCTION IS AN
ARTISTIC SUCCESS
BELASC0 COMPANY FINDS
FAVOR
In "Prisoner Of zendao Present Most
Wonderful Series Of stage Pic
lures Seen In Los Angeles
This Season

"Old Heidelburg" was but an intro
duction to "The Prisoner of Zenda."
In the former the Belasco company
made all this possible in a stock or
ganization, and for this reason one
is not greatly surprised to find in
this weeks productions another artistic
success.
There is nothing else for which Ed
ward Il. Rose, who died recently, will
ever be half so well loved as for his
dramatization of "The Prisoner Of
style of plays which 1t introduced
The romantic drama touches sixth
sense in most of us which nothing else
can reach.
The Belasco company last evening
presented perhaps the most wonderful
series OF stage pictures seen in Los
Angeles this season. Every detail was
worked out with a care and a regard
for the artistic that reflects great credit
on George Barnum, the stage director
lhC olo6 NCiO mas
Every member of the excellent COM
pany entered into the spirit of the
piece in a manner which indicated
knowledge of their art and interest in
their work.
Most beautiful of the many such pic
lures which were offered in this drama
of the heart were the ones where only
Amelia Gardner and Joseph Galbraith
held the center of the stage. These
two fitted extremely well into the roles
Of Princess Flavia and Rudolph Ras.
sendyl, respectively. Those who saw
"Old Heidelburg" are acquainted with
Galbraith as prince, but royalty, let
it be said, fits as we'll on the head of
the leading woman as on his.
Miss Gardner is a princess with a
viction acress the footights, and even
in the moments where the play is
dangerously near as close to the melo-
dramatic as it can go without being
cheapened, her art is never lowered
from the high standard she sets at the
first.
Galbraith in two roles has an un-
usual opportunity to display his ver-
satility. AS the unfortunate king in
| the last act he makes a remarkable
and brilliant change to the king of
a day. In nothing has he shown such
ability as he displays here.
| Next to the principals, Richard
Vivian, Thomas Oberle and James A.
the audiences attention. All are in
roles eXcellently suited to their tall
ents. Vivian and Bliss especially have
better parts than fortune usually can
allot to them in plays which were all
| written for single star.
| AS far as the men of the cast are
concerned the Belasco company is
nearly an all-star- organization. Amelia
Gardner almost rules alone on the
feminine side of the company But
special notice should be made, however,
of a little bit in the prologue played
by Mary Graham She has a stage
presence which fitted exactly all regal
ness of the role and her work was ex-
ceedingly clever.
Edith Lemmert, who perfected herself
in her role since Friday, was q sur
prise to those who knew this circum-
stance. Her voice showed the lack of
continual practice, but her work was
conscientious and satisfactory.

HIP FILTERS AT oRPHEuM
Will M. Cressy Gives Clever Charac.

ter Portrayal
There is a character portrayal at
the Orpheum that is so unique and
original that it stands out in strong
relief against the vaudeville back
ground, but which would be
worthy of a place on any stage, and
that is Will M. Cressy's Hip Filters"
janitor. manager, stage manager, stage
carpenter, electrician, property man,
treasurer and pianist of the town hall
"theater."
Mr. Cressy has written some good
sketches for vaudevile-some of the
best in fact that have ever come across
but he has reached the top in "Town
Hall Tonight" Two little lines from
the piece suggest the character of the
sketch. "All there is, l am" and
What L aint, amt" are the two purest
gems from the brain OF the Pooh Bah
Of the town playhouse, but it is full of
comedy from start to finish. Hip
Filters is unique-he is new-he is,
well, he is Hip Filters, and VIII Cressy
has made him great.
There are other things, too, at the
Orpheum of course, and the bill as a
whole is well up to the standard of the
road show, of happy memory.
There is Alcide Capitaine. a perfectly
formed young woman, who does things
on the trapeze and swinging rope in a
graceful and captivating manner
There are Binns, Binns and another

DEFENDS TERM
SOCIETY WOMAN

81 believe the term society woman
has been abused, and l believe the time
has come not only to defend but redeem
it. l wish to commend and sustain
the real society woman,' said Mrs
Robert ]. Burdette in her address
1.-THE American Woman of Society
Where She Succeeds and Where She
Fails" delivered last evening at tho
monthly meeting of the literary Sec
ton of the Temple union.
Preceding the address vocal solo
was rendered by Miss Catherine Eb'
bert. Following this DR.. Hecht made
few remarks introducing the speaker
Mrs. Burdette said in part:
II know very little about woman
because woman knows very little about
herself. The Century dictionary de-
fines society as that recognized body
or members of the people who stand as
leaders in the social ife. No man OF
woman would undertake to define wo-
man and few a society woman.
"All that degrades the home and
breaks hearts is laid upon the society
woman. Those who eagerly read every
detail of public characters, how they
eat and how they dress, read the yell
low journals, the moment the WORD
society woman is uttered they bring to
mind a figure fair of form, creature
with a complexion warranted not to
blanch at fear or blush at shame;
whose hand is white and soft, unused
to any labor.
Condemns Idle Rich
Henry Watterson condemns the idle
rich; God forgetting, man defying'
pleasure seeking rich, who know no
restraint, whose intellectually is to
comprehend that the longest purse
brings the longest titles. He speaks
with condemnation of the great army
of well-bred and well-to-do American
commonality who live without scandal;
perhaps not rich, but well-to- -do-the
fortress and belltower of American So
ciety.
when does she begin to fail? When
she fails to keep her proportions. When
she thinks they expect me to do this
and that Who is society? You are it.
| say this without slang. You have
just as much right to have precedence
as any one else, and not to slave your
life out because you think that they
think that you ought to do it. The fact
is the society woman is never so happy
as when. with her little ones gathered
around her. she is at her own fireside.
She fails when she does not maintain
the standard of the home. She fails
when she entertains just informally,
YOU know, and has to get decorators,
caterers, musicians and the like. She
does not say so in so many words,
but implies that you cannot converse
with one another and say anything
interesting"
Mrs. Burdette spoke of the growing
evils of divorce and gave interesting
statistics regarding the divorce prob
lem In the United states.

Park Densmore of 627 East Villa

dren, last October.
He is a wealthy man of culture, who
has built number of houses since his

lots on which he intended to build
others. He was arrested at his home
tonight, and as the offense admits no
bail he must spend the time at the city
Jail until the sheriff from Rochester

Densmore declares that the only ex-

his coming west he was interested in

WILSON'S SCALP
BEING SOUGHT
But President VIII Not Think of
Firing Agricultural Secretary.
SUGGESTION DEPRECATED
Peters DiSagre's With Jordan That
Wilson's Resignation is Absolutely
Necessary.

A Washington special says: The
fact heretofore alluded to in these
dispatches that cotton producers Of
the south are by no means q unit in
demanding the resignation OF secre.
tary OF Agriculture Wilson and the
abolition of the bureau of statistics
because OF the recently discovered
scandal, has been shown in a most
conclusive manner. Mondays papers
printed a dispatch from Atlanta, in
which President Jordan of the South.
egn Cotton Association was quoted as
saying, among other things, that Mr..
Wilson's resignation was absolutely
necessary in order to inspire new con.
fdence IN the department. During the
day, E. S. Peters Of Calvert, Texas,
who has for some time been presi.
dent of the Texas Cotton Growers
Association and is in addition a vice
president OF the Southern Cotton AS.
ISOLATION, sent the following telegram
10 Secretary wilson at Oyster Bay;
In reference 10 the interview OF
President Jordan, ! would say | can.
not endorse the same. The farmers
and cotton growers of the south have
implicit confidence in your honesty and
ability to purge the department OF all
grlfters, and hope the president will
left nothing TO interfere with the great
work you are now doing for them"
The Southern Cotton Association
has taken no action looking to re-
quest for Secretary Wilson's reslgna.
tion," said Colonel Peters, in discuss
ing his telegram.
"Prcs!dent Jordan may he express
ing his personal ideas, and may now
be expressing only mine, but the exec.
utive committee Of the association has
never considered a request for the
resignation Of Secretary Wilson.
am assured that the farmers and cot.
ton growers OF the section west Of the
Mississippi will never listen TO such a
proposition. In our opinion Secreta-
ry Wilson is the only secretary we
have ever had.
THE tremendous influence OF the
bureau OF plant industry and entomol
ogy, with which am particularly con.
versant, Is entirely his work. That
work has meant millions to the south.
! must take issue with Mr.. Jordan. II
is possible the confidence Of the secre.
tary has been abused. but there Is no
reason to believe that the intelligent
citizens OF the south will confuse tho
cupidlty OF under officials and their
abuse OF the department with the rep
utaton of Mr.. Wilson. He has our
confidence. and 10 charge him with
incompetency or to assert that his
days OF usefulness are over, is an
unwarranted charge"

RAWLINGS SENTENCED.
Gallovs for the Old Han, Milton and
Jesse and Life Term for Leonard.
Negro Preacher Convicted.

At Valdosta, Ga, Monday night, at
s:45, Judge r. g. Mitchell passed sen
fences ON ]. G. Rawlings and his three
sons, Milton. Jesse and Leonard. The
scene was one OF the most touching
and, dramatic ever witnessed in a
court in Valdosta.
Judge Mitchell was brief IN his re.
marks during the passing OF the SEN
fences. They were very touching, but
fell with force on the ears of the large
crowd packed into the court house.
The first three were sentenced TO be
hanged September 10, and Leonard
was sentenced TO life Imprisonment.
When the elder Rawlings was asked
II he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him,
he arose and said:
II have a conscience that stands
correct. You can no more pluck It than
you can the brightness of the sun.
Your sentence can do no more than
kill. Pass it,
Milton received the sentence stole
ally and never opened his mouth. Jes-
sc and Leonard burst into tears, and
both of them said: II am innocent,
Mrs. Rawlings and her two daugh-
tiers were present, and on them the
blow fell with crushing force, all Of
them weeping bitterly.

and daughter were the first. They tes'
tilted to the facts OF the murder, Civ
ing the same testimony which they
had given during the other trials.
All Moore, convicted as one OF the
principals in the assassInations, was
sworn, and said that Turner had gone
10 him with a proposition to Kill the
Carriers, saying that Rawlings wanted
to hire a man 10 do the work ana
would give him (Moore) 800 II he
would do 1t.
Mitch Johnson, colored, swore that
Turner told him that Rawlings would
give him $125 to Kill Carter and his
family.
The defense put up no witnesses,
and hal Turner go on the stand and
make n statement. He denied any
connection IN the matter and said
while he had worked for Rawlings,
and knew Of his troubles with Carter.
he had endeavored always to keep
clear OF any connection with the trou'
bles of the white people. He told the
Jury that he was in their hands. that
he had done what he could TO estab.
fish his innocC ace and told them to do
with him as they thought right.
