NEW VOICES IN
"OLLIVETTE" AT
THE H0TCHKISS

The delightful comedy of Robert
Pitkin makes of "Olivette. rather more
of success than it otherwise might
have been at the Hotchkiss.
In the character of Coquelicot. hench-
man OF the duke, he showed evidence
of the true comedy spirit
Miss Lottie Kendall in the title role
was bewitching as usual, her work
being especially commendable in scenes
requiring coquettishness and seeming
shyness
"Olivette'' is not one of the most
popular operas but it is pretty, tuneful
and enjoyable.
Edward Lynch and Merle Manning
made their first appearance with the
Olympia opera company yesterday.
Manning has a sweet tenor voice, while
Lynch is possessed of a baritone Of
good quality. Both should prove valu-
able acquisitions to the company.
Donald Campbell as the Seneschal
was weak in the bit which he had. Miss
Davis has another riding costume this
week and carries a whip gracefully.
Another of the songs which she sings
so well delighted the audience and she
responded to several encores last even
ing.
Bob Up Serenely," the real song hit
of "Olivette,'' was sung by Pitkin, and
several extra verses were required of
him by the audience last evening.

age, of English birth and was fairly

mediate treatment would have saved
his life.

police to prevent the fact Of the sudden
death being made public, but the story
leaked out last night.

SKATERS GRIN
is THE LATEST
RINK HABIT DEVELOPS A NEW
FOoLiSHNEss
Breaks Out When Somebody's Feet
Go Up on Polished Floors or
When an Involuntary Enn-
brace Greets One

The latest fad has develoved a new
foolishness.
1t is the roller skating grin.
You can see it any time these DAYS
down at the Kinks. 1t is as distinctive
as the bicycle eye of a few years ago.
The skating rink grin is most pro-
nounced with beginners. 1t breaks out
with spontaneous merriment when
somebody's feet fly up and his
head goes down and hits the floor
whack
He who laughs may be the next one
to furnish cause for the continuance of
the grin by the way he goes down to
bruise the boards. Only a few of the
old skaters remember to keep the re-
pose of feature that is the ambition of
most of us, but even they look pleasant.
The skating rink is place of strange
meetings and partings People you
never saw before will come up wob-
bling; hands clutching emptiness, as if
to get stronger grip on the air, when
bling! and you are grabbed in des-
perate embrace, and you, too. go down
in an undignified tangle.
Then They Grin
When you pick yourself out of the
puzzle you are both grinning the skat-
ing rink grin.
At one of the Kinks there was a
good-natured stout man who seemed
to lay himself out to keep the rest
amused. He would start from one side
with the evident purpose of getting to
safe haven on the other. He arrived
most always horizontally with one foot
in the air and the other ascending.
When he struck it was with the dull
thud" we read about
There is a democracy about a skating
rink crowd that is not found other
places The universal grin proves it.
People cannot be snobbish while they
are on skates or in the act of falling.
On the big floor the social scale is
pretty well represented. There is an
Adams street girl and behind her
half-holiday clerk. There are school
boys and girls in plenty, and out in
the middle Pasadena belle, whose
name appears in that aristocratic
suburb, gliding in long, graceful
strokes. She is attended by two society
men. With them. being experienced
skaters. the grin has evoluted into a
polite smile-for one another.
Ho! the Champion
There is the person one is sure to
meet sooner or later at the rink.

ship for skating back in Corn Center
He comes up and asks If you noticed
him do some clever stunts out in the
middle, and then starts out to show
you how much more gracefully he can
do 1t than the Others.
He swings down the big hall in long
swaying curves, keeping a covert eye
open all the time for those who may

many eyes are observing his feats, he

Skating Is his art and II does not ap-
peal to his risibilities.
When the Orpheum fails you. and
even the melodrama at the Grand fails
TO excite your laughter, go out to the
skating rink and get the skating rink
grin. II is worth while.

Theater Review

"The Race for Life" at the Grand
this week, Is a wonder. The villain
is positively the most abandoned MEM
her Of the heavy tribe who has ever
frod the Grand boards. In the first
act he-Price Mackay-hts the hero
inc over the head with a blackjack,
likewise the trainer of the horse which
is to win the Derby in the third act.
He only misses killing Harrison King
(Austin Seymour, owner Of the ranchl
because the latter has a large, well
proportioned revolver which he thrusts
into the villains face.
Then. still in the first act, the heart
less brute brands pretty little Myrtle
Selwyn (Maude Allen, the serving
maid) whom he has previously ruined,
with the iron with which they branded
the cattle.
IT viii place this brand on you so
that every one shall know that you
are mine, body and soul" says John
Hunter (Pryce Mackay) before he did
the dread deed.
Then, after he has left every one
in sight lying weltering In his gore,
he strides off.
But Hunters hopes we're not to be.
He butchers all the people he can and
attenpts to dope" the horse upon
which Seymour was betting his all.

wronged her; yet he is foiled.
Retribution comes in the last act.
shackled, he is led off, shouting curses
at every one in sight. He could just
as well have been foiled In the third
act.
serhe Race for Life is the widest
ever. and every one at the Grand was
lust wild over it, The gallery bunch
shouted every time the villain was
foiled. When Jessie, the horse that
Mr.. Seymour had plunged on. came
romping home in the mud at odds of
twenty to one, a lot of those boys
yelled so that they won't be able to
sell their newspapers today.
The rnelodrama was well staged. thus
following the precedent which the
Grand has established for itself this
season. Mackay was fattered by a
tremendous ovation of Kisses every
time he appeared, after the gallery
got to know him.

Stricken with blindness, William
Gray is lying in ward at the county
hospital, absolutely hopeless and des-

himself at his room, sos East Fifth
street, because he was beco ming par

but did not prove fatal. 1t destroyed
the optic nerve and he will never re-

Gray says he longs for death. He
tried hard to send a bullet through
his brain, but his trembling hand made
his aim uncertain. He may live for
years, absolutely helpless. He has no

Few on Sick List

Brig. Gen. Robert WankowslSi and the
boys OF the Seventh regiment, who
have been on duty in Oakland and San
Francisco. returned to Los Angeles yes
terday morning at 10:30, having left
Oakland the afternoon before at 1920
o'clock.
The members of the company, 300 Of
whom are Los Angeles men, disbanded
as a provisional company last night
and today will return to their duties as
civilians. Gen. Wankowsh praised the
militiamen's service warmly yesterday
afternoon.
"Only words of praise can be said for
the men who were on duty" said he.
"They conducted themselves in a SOL
derly and gentlemanly manner. The
people in Oakland and San Francisco
have only good words for the men who
were there.

do 1 think the militia were neces-
sary? 1 most certainly do. They pre-
served the best of order. In all there
were probably 5000 on duty and they
conducted themselves as soldiers
should.
What about the people who have
knocked the state militia? think they
are entirely wrong. When the stories
about these men killing private citizens
are sifted out you will find that in most
cases the shooting was done by some
member of the vigilance committee.
"They tell me that there were two or
three men killed in San Francisco by
the militia, but l feel cure that if there
were it was entirely necessary. The
conduct of the soldiers assures me of
this.

proud of the way their men carried
themselves and the soldierly way in
which they performed their duties"

co TO CHURCHES;
THEN IN AUTOS
.sHRINERS CONTINUE THEIR
STRENUOUS PROGRAM
Spins over Southern caIIfOrnia's
Peerless Roads to Pasadena,
Monrovia and Beaches Are
Planned Today

Yesterday, the first day of rest since
the advent of the Shriners in the City
of the Angels. was spent in various
ways.
Many of the mobiles went to church
services of their respective denomina-
tions. while many made little trips to
the nearby resorts.
Sunday proved a quiet but enJoyaole
day for the eastern throngs.
That the Visiting Shriners club is
'eiust about the whole thing" is clearly
shown by the numbers that visit the
headquarters.
If you are a Shriner and want any
thing under the California sun go to
the Visiting Shriners' club and you will
get it.
If you are not Shriner and want to
be one, or want anything in that line:
go likewise to the Visiting Shriners'
club-and you will get 1T.
The mobiles of Al Malaikah looked
rather weary last evening-but not IN
spirit. After a week of sightseeing and
showing the superior advantages or
Southern California the mobiles felt that
they earned at least one day of rest
and their guests acknowledged 1t.
All Busy Sightseeing
The visitors are certainly showing
what they are made of, and are putting
in many hours of sightseeing each day.
Some go above the limit and some be-
low. But this is the first visit for many
and they are going to make the most OF
it, and incidentally turn their brethren
who stayed behind to several shades or
green with envy.
The Visiting Shriners' club charter
membership closed yesterday with a
membership of over 500, representing az
the temples of the United States. This
is considered a phenomenal growth ana
bespeaks volumes for the energy and
hustle of the local Shriners.
Some trips were made yesterday by
the Shriners by auto. starting from the
headquarters Of the Visiting Shriners'
club, going to Hollywood, Long Beach
and Ocean Park. All reported enjoy
able times.
Today's Program
Today the mobiles win visit Pasadena
and Monrovia, starting from the Visit
ing Shriners club at 10 O'Clock and for
Ocean Park and Venice at ~ o'clock
and Long Beach at 80 O'Clock.
A special meeting will be held at the
Visiting Shrlners' club rooms at bll
south Broadway at 1880 o'clock this
evening. An visiting Shriners are re-
quested to be present Final arrange
ments viii be made at this meeting fof
