WOMEN ASK EQUAL SUFFRAGE
Will Petition Legislature to Put Ques-
ton to People of State to
Vote Upon

Arrangements for the appeal which is
to be made to the California legislature
in December for equal suffrage will be
completed Monday, when the women
who favor that movement will meet
in the Woman's club house, Tenth and
Figueroa streets.
In a couple of weeks the women will
meet with the local Legislators before
they go on to Sacramento and try to
persuade them to view the bill with
favor and later in December the petit
ton will be formally given to the legis-
lature.
They will not ask the legislature to
give the suffrage to the women them
selves, but that they should put 1t to
a vote of the people. The petition will
be presented to both houses
Miss Cora Williams is the president
of the local organization and she and
several other prominent women have
done much for the cause. 1t is expect
ed that the equal suffrage question will
meet with great deal more favor this
year on account of the aid which many
of the leading political organizations
have given the movement

RUDELY AWAKENED BY
NIGHT FIRE ALARM
THINLY GLAD PEOPLE DRIVEN TO
THE STREET
Three Small Houses Discovered on
Fire, and Occupants Are Forced to
Stand, Shivering, in Night Clothes
While Blaze Is Being Extinguished

Three houses near West Eleventh
and South Byram streets, occupied by
the families of l.. =. Graybill, r. 9.
Musey, r. L. Huston and F. M. Hobbs,
caught fire yesterday morning about
g.: 80 and before the flames could be
extnguished a loss of about $500 re-
suited. The fire originated in a small
clubhouse in one of the yards and was
communicated to the other dwellings
by the high wind.
None of the people in the burning
buildings awakened until the fire had
gained considerable headway and they
were forced to flee to the streets In
their night robes. For more than an
hour men and women and children
stood in the cold night air watching
the work of the firemen and shivering.
1t is probable that the greatest dam
age done will be to the health of the
fires victims, for all of them are re-
ported to be suffering from severe
colds and it is feared pneumonia will
afflict some of them.
A wee infant and several small chill
dren were among the families driven
into the frosty air and great concern
is felt for them by their parents.

WRITES A CALIFORNIA PLAY
"Under the Bear Flag" by Or. C. W..
Bachman, to Be Produced at
the Burbank

A California play, Under the Bear
Flag" to portray that splendid period
with all the atmosphere of the Span
ish days preceding the conquest of
1S46-has just been written by DR.. c..
w. Bachman and will shortly be pro-
duced by the Burbank Theater stock
company. Frank King, the scenic
artist of the Burbank theater has for
several weeks been designing the
scenery, and making the models from
which the settings will be built. They
will be in the old Mission style of that
period.
The drama is not the dramatization
of a novel written by an easterner,
but an original play, founded on histor-
ical facts and written by a Califor-
nian. therefore it has the advantage
of the genuine atmosphere of this
state. DR.. Bachman has studied his
native Californians well, and has pro-
duced them true to life, both in action
and expression.
The story Of the play deals with the
adventures of two young american
officers, from Fremonts command,
who are made prisoners by the soldiers
of Castro'S army, the day after the
capture of Sonoma by the Bear Flag
men. They are tried by court martial,
condemned as spies. and sentenced to
be hanged at sunrise, but are saved
from 81 lBlOIlllIllOuS IL uedtH ny the
timely arrival of the Bear Flag men.
Moving through the drama are sew
eral we'll known men who took part
in the conquest of California.
Three pretty love stories are woven
throughout the piece and end as they
shoud-happily. That beautiful re-
ligious atmosphere so dear to the heart
of the native Californian dominates the
story. The ringing of the Angelus
plays an important part; the Padre
a dear old man, is an important char
acter.
The exact date of production is not
yet stated, but will be in the very near
future. The Bear Flag to be used in
the production is an actual reproduce
tion of the original Bear Flag that was
forever lost in the San Francisco fire,
when the Pioneers building was de-
stroyed with all Of its valuable con-
tents.

It is the Cherry Blossoms company.
This organization has a well-merited
reputation in this city, as one of the
best equipped productions, both as to
the mounting and cleverness Of its per-
Torrance, that was seen here last sea-
son. Pretty girls tastefully costumed
and who can sing and dance, are COM
bination that is the principal attraction
Of the Cherry Blossoms.
A pretty feature Of the finale of the

L YCEUM The Christian

tsaThe Christian one of,.the most
powerful plays ever presented in Amer
lea, will be the offering of Ralph Stu
art and his excellent company at the
Lyceum theater this week, commencing
with a matinee performance today.
The play is dramatization OF Hall
Game s wonderful novel, which at
tracted more attention to the gifted
author than anything he had previous
y written. It deals with a phase of
human nature in it's two principal char
aeters which exercises peculiar fas-
cination on the human mind. John
Storm, son of nobleman,. turns from a
career in parliament to become a poor
preacher in the slums of London. A
strong man, made bigpt by the deep
earnestness of his nature and the
wretchedness about him, is a4character
to interest the most lshlases theater- goer.
Glory Quayle, the beautiful, independ-
ent daughter of a poor clergyman, a
country girl with a striking figure,
saucy manners and a fun-loving ,dispo-
sition, injected into the struggle for
existence in London, Isl a character to
arouse intense interest,"
The indescribably pathetic love story
Of this mismated pair, who had been
ssweethearts thru childhood, enbodies
one Of the most absorbingly interest
ing narratives Of the stage. &c is out
lined with masterfnl skill by the au.

terest manifested in matters progress
ing, on the stage are very funny to see.
The trick coach is vehicle for some
merry moments with a. trio of. strangely
acting passengers. A revolving ship
which imprisons the brothers in their
rooms like squirrels in a treadwheel
evokes much applause. This scene ter
inmates by the complete revolution of
the ship, the passengers turning over
with it.
Those who have seen this panto-
mimic production in the past will
scarcely recognize it so many and SO
novel are the new features which have
been injected in it. Notable among
these are bright, catchy songs, wonder
full calcium effects, and a gymnastic
potpourri, which has seldom been ex-
celled. The music Of the play is tune
full and Of the light, popular variety,
while the mechanical effects follow each
other so fast. that it is bewildering.
Besides the. Byrne Brothers, there. are
several other. members Of the company
who introduce taking specialties.

/ a foil for Raffles. Captain Bedford is
interpreted by 3. M. Holland, whose
representation Of the character of Cap
tain Redwood, the detective in 'tJim,
the Penman,' added largely to his own
personal fame.
AS the burglar, Mr.. Bellew has part
that permits him for the first time in
years to wear modern clothes, and the
change is refreshing. AS the born Grim
inal who. inherited cerebral affection
craving excitement that the conven-
tional environment Of customary life
could not give, with yearning to re-
deem himself and be worthy the love
Of a. good woman, the actor has role
that calls for a display of his best tai
ents, and he meets the requirements
with grace and skill.
l. E. M. Holland as the detective, is
prominent, and his Interpretation ex-
cellent. He and Mr.. Bellew are worth
lily matched. As Harry Manders, Frank
Connor has a part for which he is, in
deed, well cast, and his acting is one
of the many bright features of the per-
Torrance. Clara Blandick's Gwendolyn
is bright, vivacious and effective. Lor-
ena Atwood, Hattie Russell, Olive
Wyndham and Frank Mccormack round
out a cast which is one of the best

BLJOU-t Eight Bells"

Lovers Of music, pantomime and seen
ic effects are promised treat in the
production of g Eight Bells which
opens at the Bijou this afternoon at
$3.50 for week s engagement, includ-
ing the regular Wednesday and Satur-
day matinees. This species of enter
talnment, especially the trick property
part Of it, has an abiding hold upon
theatergoers and helps to prove the as
sertion that all are children at times.
Eight Bellsn in its reiuvenated
state is one Of the funniest works Of its
class, and, barring a slight tendency to
give the susceptible spectator an attack
of seasickness, is thoroly enjoyable. The
play is certainly inclusive enough in the
variety of amusement it offers in the
course Of an evening. It contains a
burlesque, farce comedy, a musical
comedy, a pantomime and spectacu-
lar production. All the former sue
cesses in the way of tricks will be re-
peated and many new things given in
addition.
The great revolving ship scene, the
trick wagon, the hustling octopus, the
funny pranks OF. the student statues, the
weird trunks and doors and chairs, are
among the novelties. The famous
Brothers Byrne are acrobats Of consid-
cradle skill and pantomimists Of unlim-
tied resources. The surprising sunex.
pected Disappearance, somersaults into
third-story windows, vaulting over
walls and thru walls where there is APP
parently no opening, and innumerable
other tricks of the nimble performers
keep the audience wondering and
laughing without cessation.
The horse and carriage in which the
lovers were to elope is made the
means Of some surprising acrobatic and
comic feats. The horse is formed BY
two men and their antics and deep il.

The other extreme of varied enter
tainment will be present in the person
of George B. Snyder and Harry Buck
ley, comedians who, are funny and
musicians who can play. Mr.. Buckley
introduces a. weird novelty in the shape
Of a solo on a contra bass bassoon, the
largest in America. 5
A favorite among vaudeville femin-
unity, Julie. Ring, sister Of Blanch
Ring, will make her first local appear
ance ina Quiet Life one-act
comedy, in the presentation of which
she will be assisted by g. Rooland sar,
geant.
Another novelty just over from Aus
tralia will be presented by Les Brunin,
billiardists modernes, who do all
sorts Of odd things with what appears
to be a regulation billiard outfit aad
finish with some sensational equipoise.
And then there will be Jimmy Wall,
s.slthe party in, black with a wealth
of witticism culled from many years
in minstrelsy; Artie Hall, the genu-
inc Georgia girl, = who was here last
season and returns to her own; Carlisle
