May Irwin, who opens an engagement
of three nights tonight at the Mason
holds the proud distinction of never
receiving an adverse criticism on hel
personal work. This is a remarkable
record, when it is remembered that q
number of the most prominent and YER
satile of dramatic stars have frequently
met their Waterloo in several roles
Miss Irwin, however, has the wisdom
of recognizing the adaptability of her
and confines herself to the
style of comedy for which she knows
she is fitted, and which by the way, is
the most entertaining.
Her appearance at the Mason opera
house tonight marks her first engage
ment in Los Angeles in ten years. She
brings with her her latest and most
legitimate farce by George V. Hobart

easons, Mrs. Black Is Back" The

on, having run the greater part of the

The chief requirnents for such a
show are a bevy otgirls more or less

that permit of lavit lack of clothes, a
few crude comediai of the slap stick,
knockabout variety ycolored lights and
an attempt at rending popular songs.

the play had to stop that he might ex-

but their presentation yesterday will
stand for some time as one of their
best all-around works of recent time.
The play itself, written especially for
Kendall and designed to exploit his
quaint humor and sayings, was a risk,
for it would seem impossible to fit it
to any other; but this time the guess
was good one, and every role is we'll
taken. The consequence is that one
sees the company at it's best and has
a delightful entertainment as well.
'The Vinegar Buyer" is hardly a
perfect drama, ethically considered. 1t
tells semi-rural story, it's locale being
in Indiana. The character of Joe Miller
is seemingly founded on he of the joke
book fame, for his puns and witticisms
intersperse the whole action. There Is
a slight story of blind widow and her
estate, the scheming lawyer who wants
the money and plans to get it by we'd
ding the pretty daughter; her affianced,
who clicks" him in a delightful mixup,
and the final evolution of all concerned
into happiness. An odd bit is that of
the village drunkard, and another funny
character Is the singsong stage driver.
OF Burton, enough has been said.
William Desmond scores as the noble
youth; Bennett Southard is the drunk,
and Raymond Manion is funny as the
fat store keeper, William Bernard has
the villain part and H. j. CHM is the
driver. Jane Kelton is the lovely
Phosa McAllister has the
character part of the widow, by
divorce; Monda Glendower is cute as
the town girl, and the minor parts are

Grand

Two overflowing houses at the Grand
opera house yesterday ushered in the
final week of the Ulrich stock company
season of 1906 Queen of the High
binders was the name of the play but
that was of secondary Importance, as
has never failed to turn away many
persons every Saturday and Sunday,
both matinee and night.
This record of the Ulrich stock COM
pany, which applies to the 1904 season
as well, is remarkable in way, as it
has demonstrated beyond a question
that there is a very large body of
theater-goers who want the very acme
of sensational melodrama and will
make it worth while for a management
to supply their wants
The company at the Grand has been
a great success and whatever objec-
tions may be taken to the character of
the melodrama presented or to the
manner of the presentation the situa-
ton resolves itself readily into the we'll
known axiom of the stage, that the
stage will be exactly on a level with
the audience, no higher and no lower.
And so the Ulrich stock company must
be credited with having scored big
success.
From the standpoint of art, too, the
season at the Grand has not been en-
tirely barren. Richard Buhler has
earned for himself recognition as
one of the best stock company actors
ever seen in Los Angeles.
John Harrington, whose connection
with the company in the early part of
the season was only too short, was an

better class of plays would have
achieved more general prominence.

INSANE WARD PATIENT
WILL WRITE MEMOIRS
CAPTAIN CALVIN TO PUBLISH
INDIAN EXPERIENCES
Old Soldier Awaits His Release From
County Hospital and In the Mean
time He Entertains Inmates With
Hair-Raisng Indian Stories

Captain Daniel Calvin is anxiouslS
awaiting his release from the insane
ward at the county hospital as he now
has all his plans made for writing 9
book which will give the actual ex
periences of the captain in his fifteer
years of Indian fighting on the western
frontier.
Captain Calvin is now Sc years old
but has the appearance of being al
least fifteen years younger. Five years
ago he was sent from the Soldiers
Home to the state insane asylum. II
appears that he was suffering will
temporary melancholia at the time bui
institution.
After repeated trials he was unable
to secure his release from the asylum,
because he was an inmate of the Sol
ernment When an act was passed Ivy
the legislature directing that all harm
less insane persons should be returned
from the state institution to the county
hospital where he has since remained.
Anxious for Release
But it is now believed that his re-
lease will come soon and in the hope
of regaining his liberty the old soldier
is happy. He possesses an excellent
education and has prepared innumer-
able notes which he expects to use in
writing the story of his life.
While not engaged in assisting in the
hospital kitchen the old soldier sits in
a big chair on the hospital veranda and
entertains the convalescent patients
with stories of the time when he was
captured by the Apache Indian chief.
Victoria, and condemned to die by his
warriors, but saved by the old chief
who recognized the captain as
the one who had fed him when he was
hungry fifteen years before, just as the
painted Indians were about to apply
the torch to the faggots about the stake
to which he was tied.
While this is one of his favorite stor-
les he has many others which are even
more blood-curdling which he delights
in telling to the edification of the hos
pital inmates.
These the captain expects to make
into a book as soon as he secures his
release from the hospital and he de-
clares that he will write another book
on Five Years of Insane Asylum
Life" If he lives long enough.

BRIEF ENGAGEMENT AT THE
BURBANK
THREE Matinee OFFERINGS
Manager Morosco Secures Stellar At
traction for Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday-Presents Three
Special Productions
THREE MATINEE OFFERINGS

The original and complete company of
players that have been appearing in
San Francisco during the last three
months under the management of E. F.
Glcitman, and in New York and Chi
cago for the last five seasons, has been
booked by Oliver Morosco of the Bur-
bank theater of this city to give three
special matinee performances at his
theater on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, September 90 21 and 20.
This is the same company which was
originally booked for one week at the
Columbia theater at San Francisco dur
ing the early part of June, which scored
such a success that Immediately upon
the conclusion of the Columbia theater
engagement they were booked by the
management OF the Grand opera house,
where they played to seven weeks of
the biggest business ever done in that
house.
They have since secured the lease on
the Alhambra theater in San Francisco,
which they intend to conduct as a
home for Yiddish plays.
Through arrangements with Mr.. Nor
CISCO, and at no little additional ex-
pense they have been induced to play
in Los Angeles these three special
matinees, which will be the only per-
formance given by this company outside
of San Francisco.
The entire company. scenery and cos
tunes will be brought to Los Angeles.
Among the most notable of the artists
are Bernard Shoengold, Mr. Weisman.
Mr. Bernard Mr.. Goldberg, Mr.. Hirsch,
Miss Raffelo, Miss Eva Katz. Miss
Finkelstein and Miss Eva Berlin.
Miss Raffelo, who has an unusually
rich contralto voice, has been the re-
cipient of no end of praise by the critics
of the newspapers of San Francisco,
both for her great dramatic ability and
charming rendition of the roles of the
different operettas which are included in
the company's repertoire.
E. Glictman. who is both manager
and leading man of the company, has
been termed the "Yiddish Edwin
Booth" Some of the strongest plays of
the repertoire are TO be selected for
presentation in this city, one of the
most notable of which is "Kolnidrey,"
which has packed the Grand opera house
and the Columbia theater during each
of it's presentations.
There is probability that the "Mer-
chant of Venice" will also be produced
in this city.
The staging of each of the different
plays will be perfect in every respect as
regards scenery and costumes. Not
withstanding the heavy expense to the
management OF the company in booking
this production, the regular evening
prices at the Burbank will prevail at all
performances. Seats on sale this morn
ing.
The repertoire for this city is as fol-
lows: Wednesday, "Kolnidrey'; Thurs
day, Gabriel; Friday "The Jewish
King Lear"
