The next day Rafferty, reported for
rehearsal. He was charmed with the
opportunities, for it looked TO him as if
he were TO share the honOrs of the
piece with the camel.
It's hot stuff, amt it?" he said to
Ellen NJ. Rock after he had rescued
her for the fourth time.

its business" she said, this piece could
run on Broadway for months. There's

heavens in my part alone. l never
knew of anything so strong"
The Fehearsals continued for a week
with increasing yigor until the COM
pany, with the camel in a box car de
parted for HaYerstraw. There the ad-
vance sale was slight, but Flibinite was
not unduly depressed.

"A camers different thing alto
gether," said Flibinite. The humps
will prevent you from falling off,
THE parade will help some" said
the local manager. But you've come
at the wrong time. The brickyards
don't pay off till the last of the month"
The Arabs in their picturesque at
1 tire led the parade, blowing Justify on
brass. The heavy and juvenile men
followed on foot, and after them came
a in he no Dot ~
finished an imposing pageant on the
camel.
Good Heavensw groaned Rafferty,.
Il don't know whether 1t will hurt more
to stand up or sit down after this.
Why did / ever get into the legit?"
The local manager. who acted as a
pathfinder. took them into every con-
ceivable direction where there was
dwelling house.
Excuse Didn't Go.
Il forgot to tell you" said Flibinite,
cheerfully. to Rafferty,, after he was
rescued from the camel, that it will
be part of your duties to look after the
camel Since you work together, you
ought to get to understand each
other"
Excuse me-" said Rafferty,. but
what's the matter with one of your
Arabs? They've been brought up with
camels and know the game"
Not these Arabs" said Fibinite.
| They come from Milwaukee. Two of
them worked in a brewery. No, Raj
ferty, you must look after the camel"
You son of "A gun of the desert, ."
said Rafferty,, as he left the animal in
its stall, Stuff yourself, and try to
get some flesh on your humps
Then he limped painfully away to eat
his dinner and prepare for the final re-
hearsal, to which he was obliged to es-
cOrt the camel

Flibinite, viewing with great satisfac-
ton the scene in the Sahara in which

BOOKED AT ALCAZAR IN SAN
FRANCISCO
Miss Margaret Langham Will Appear
as Lady BabbIe in "Little Minis
ter"-star Has Striking Indi-
v,-uality

Miss Margaret Langham of the Be-
lasco Stock company, Los Angeles.
leaves for San Francisco this after
noon under orders from her managers,
Belasco, Mayer and Price, to appear at
the Alcazar theater as Lady Babbie
in James A. Barrie's famous Little
Minister" Later on in the season ii
is probable that she will present this
character in Los Angeles with Joseph
Galbraith or Richard Vivian in the role
of Gavin.
On several occasions Miss Langhenl
has played the leading part with the
Belasco company in Los Angeles. Prob
ably her greatest success was in the
role of "The girl in THE Girl and the
Judge" More recently she came into
prominent notice by her excellent work
as the servant in "A Fool and His
Money"
Miss Langham is a favorite with Los
Angeles theatergoers and is noted for
individuality. Her peculiar charm and
temperament attracted the notice of
Frederic Belasco when he was in Los
Angeles recently, and this call to the
Golden Gate city is the immediate
result.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-06

to cast her for more important parts
In future productions.
Another recruit to the Belasco COM
pany who will make her initial bow to
Los Angeles audience tonight is
Adele harrington, who played impor-
tant roles with Florence Roberts COM
pany last season. Miss Harrington is
an actress Of experience and undis-
puted position in the theatrical world.
One of her most substantial successes
was scored in Amelia Binghams pre-
sentation Of THE Modern Magdalen''
two years ago. when Miss Bingham's
company included such able actors as
Wilton Lackaye, Henry j. Dixey, Fer
dinand Gottschalk and Hobart Bos-
worth. In this brilliant organization
Miss Harrington achieved a triumph
quite as notable as that of the star.
In "The Gay Parisians' Leading Man
Galbraith will temporarily turn over
the honors of that position to George
w. Barnum, who will portray a some
what gay and frivolously inclined old
man who takes his four daughters to
Paris on sightseeing expedition. The
complications that arise from perfectly
innocent causes are responsible for the
uproarious fun of the farce.

Burbank

Despite the rain and cold Of yester-
day large audiences witnessed both
afternoon and evening performances of
"Reaping the Harvest" the new offer
ing of the Burbank theater for the
ensuing week. That they considered
they were we'll repaid for their attend
ance was made evident by repeated
curtain calls.
"Reapng the Harvest" is four-act
comedy drama by Tom Fitch. AS it's
title implies, it is close to nature; it
tells a story that has often been acted
and relates the value of true and
tried friend.
AS Donald Stewart, the hero, Will
liam Desmond is seen at his best.
Miss Blanche Hall as Louise Larken is
sweet and charming in her acting.
Earl Ryder as Edward Mecker, the
false partner, is too mechanical, but
improves after the first two acts. AS
Lem Kronk, n country lad, Harry
Lewellyn is fine; he makes the most of
his lines and was well received by
the audience.
Bennett Southard as the tramp is
also very good. Miss Kelton does her
lines as Marie Morely, the adventur-
ess, in good taste, and H. j. CHM as
Seth Kronk. the proprietor of the
country tavern, makes quite a hit The
other members of the cast are good.

TEST OF CITY GOVERNMENT

Every American citizen has for anxiety con-
cernng the outcome OF next Tuesdays elections in New
York and San Francisco The dangers that threaten
these cities exist, active latent in all the rest
Every city has it's element similar to that which ia led
II New York by Hearst and in San Francisco by Ruef
and Schmitz. 1t is the disreputabe element alwavs
menace to the public welfare, and dangerous lust in
proportion to its numerical strength at the polls
There is no doubt that this element will make a
formidable showing in New York at the coming election
The scum of the great ciys population is thick and
Hearst will skim the larger part of it, There also is
very large element of the ignorant class in New York,
natural result Of the great stream of European rraf
that constantly pours into that city. Ignorant voters
always are at the mercy of such demagogue Hearst
They fall to comprehend the utterly absurd character
OF the promises that he is avshng by press and mouth
He tells this vast class that his election to the mayor
atty would be followed by higher wages shorter work
days cheaper rents lower fares diminished living
expenses generally and a millennium of good times
If Hearstism can make a considerable showing
In the coming election the fact will indicate deplor-
able downward trend in the level of American municipal
tiles 1t is hardly possible that the covert spport
OF Hearst by the Republican machine openly charged
by Democratic leaders, lead Hearst's election
very large minority vote for him. however would en-
courage him to future effort and make him still more
dangerous menace And the same factor that NAV he
called Hearstsm in New York be found to greater
or less extent in every other American city.
In San Francisco the issue in regard to schmitz
is simpler than it is in New York in regard to Hearst
1t only two-sded in San Francisco but triangular in
New York The decent element in San Francisco is
confronted squarey by the disreputable element and
the outcome depends upon the numerical strength of
the two classes In New York there is Democratic
ticket Republican ticket and a municipal ticket led
by Hearst representing chiefly the ofscourings of the
city's population.
And now the American people awaiting the issue
N tVoa In
large vote the future for municipal government in that
city will be ominous If Schmitz succeeds in grating
himself for another term upon the government

its portals the inscription that Dante at the en-.
