RURAL COMEDY
DELIGHTS THE GRAND
AUDIENCES .HUGELl Y

'.Uncle Josh Perkins" came in from
the rural deestriks for the edification
of the Grand audiences yesterday, and
two huge houses howled themselves
hoarse over his manifold deeds of hero
ism and foolishness. The play is
typical rural drama, except that, in
large measure, the caricatures of
farmer folk are toned down into some
thing like actuality, and the scenes are
laid in places that might possibly be
on some map. Thus there is an air of
reality about it, which makes for truth
instead of the usual farcical atmosphere
which often the most serious of such
plays lacks utterly.
But in essentials the play has the
usual elements of melodrama. There
is the villain, a lawyer, with the poor,
prosecuted girl, whose father is the
farmer-see last act-and her compan-
ion, the street arab girl of sharp tongue.
There are the murderers and the res
cuer, the detectives and all the rest.
Thus it still holds the destinations which
the Grand habitues expect, and it rivets
their attention and applause from the
first.
Bert Hodgkins is Uncle Josh, and right
well he enacts the shrewd Vermonter,
though he can't sing enough to hurt
Dewey Brown is his adopted son, who
falls in love with Edith, the prosecuted
girl, who proves to be the Perkins long
lost daughter. Bertha Honora is Mrs.
Perkins, Marguerite Knight is Edith
and Bonnie De WORT is an excellent
Rags. j. P. Stenson is a capably black
villain. Slack and the rest of the cast
will satisfy every demand of the Grand
clientele. The scenery and effects, es-
peciaily the farmyard, are all that could
be asked

"Other Peoples Money" may be had
at the Hotchkiss this week, and it will
be found to be neither phony, coun-
terfeit nor deprecated currency, either.
1t is worth par in any mans coin and
is full exchange value, not even sub

And that's saying a. COED deal.

and the largest crowds in the his
tory of the Howard Hamilton organ

to this. @-
"Other Peoples Money is a comedy
with a substantial plot, telling a funny

is enamored with some other girl the

and does everything he can to facilitate

that he has been fooled into giving

foolish state of collapse that he Is

US. c. MAY WIN
GRID ron TITLE

Consensus of football opinion is that
the University of Southern California
team will be recognized as the collie
giate champions of California when the
final game of this season has been
played. With Stanford and Berkeley
standing as Rugby eXponents, the
Southern California colleges have prac-
tically the field to themselves and U.
S. C. bids fair to possess a right to the
title.
Should U. S. C. defeat st. Vincent
next Saturday, which appears very
probable, she will have trimmed each
of the local colleges in turn. A Thanks
giving game will be played with the
Sherman Indians, and judging from
against Pomona the Methodists should
possess an even break when they line
up with the Redskins
Southern California college teams
however, are not attracting so much
attention as are the academic eleVens
who are In the midst of very lively
gridiron struggle. A great surprise
was effected Saturday when Throop
Polytechnic defeated the Los Angeles
High school team by a score of 1916
Throop football men had not won from
the local high school representatives in
years and Saturdays victory came IN
the light of a great triumph for the
gold and yellow.
High school is boasting one of the
best academic players ever seen on a
local gridiron in Captain Stan Mitchell
the husky youngster who made great
record for himself last year and has
won further laurels so far this season
Powerfully built and active on his
feet, Mitchell is probably the best pun
ter i'm California today, and his clever
foot work has saved his team from sew
eral threatened touchdowns.
Occidental apparently took on new
life Saturday when the st. Vincent men
met with defeat on Highland Park
field. The Highlanders played a far
different game than that which marked
their contest with u. s. c., and as q re-
fensiye formation.

MORANS WIN THE
CHAMPIONS
Whalen Has the Better of Gamble in
Pitchers BattIe-Pedrotti's Error
Responsible for Single
Hoesee Tally

In a pitchers battle yesterday after
noon between Gamble of the Hoegee
Flags and T. Whaling of the Morans
the latter came away victor when the
Morans won by score of 5 to 1, captur-
ing the silver cup and championship.
Five hits were made off each twirler
and both teams were guilty of two
errors. The Morans. however, took ad-
vantage Of CANDLES wildness and their
hits were opportune. A small crowd
witnessed the game, which was played
with raw wind blowing across the
diamond.
Whaling apparently had the Hoegee
batters at bis mercy, as they were
poWerless when singles meant runs.
He materially assisted in winning his
own game at the bat as we'll as on
the slab. His three bagger in the fifth
resulted in a tally when Briseno shot
safety to left a moment later.
| The Morans started run getting in
| the second inning, when a brace of
tallies were secured. After Smiley went
out short to first. Briseno was given
base on balls. Pedrotti also received
| pass, but was forced at second by
Luoero. Lucero stole second and Musty
| doubled to right, scoring both Briseno
and Lucero.
Hoegee men annexed their only tally
in the fifth. Wilkinson singled to CEN
1 ter and continued second as Smiley
allowed the ball to roll between his
legs. He took third on a pass ball.
| Gamble flew to Broadbent. Goodman
was next up and popped an easy one
to Pedrotti in right field, which the lat
ter let slip through his fingers, Wilkin-
son scoring. Lamer went out Brlseno
to Musty.
Morans were able to pile up three
more before the ninth inning, with a
combination OF errors, hits and free
passes.

dav. and the line OF goods the firm dis-
penced was so very hne that It COULDN'T
accommodate the throngs of purchas-
ers. And II will be shame If II cam {
at any time during the firms stay
Gales of laughter, cyclones of mirth,
tornadoes of fun fairly reverberated
throughout the theater, and the walls
bnlRed with the overpowering amuse'
ment afforded by the odd complications
dispensed by the clever players.
Mistaken Identity, that old and ever
useful vehicle for fun, is the basis OF
the farce of Nancy & CO.. 1t is one OF
the aid Augustin Daily productions, and
,,,es originally presented by his superb
cornpany I'm New York. 1t was given
here about three years ago, and at that
time established itself as prime faVor-
ite IT'S revival not only takes the Bur-
bankers out of the slough of roman
ticism into which they have fallen OF
late, but it again demonstrates the YER
satility of that organization. Az the
same time Il emphasizes It's excellence
i'm the field of fun, to which IL snpulo
nay more attention. In no other llne
has the company appeared TO so goou
an advantage recently.
This may be a bit surprising, too, for
few can picture the rotund ana some
what heavy Mary Van Buren IN
wildly farcical part. 1t may be mag
ined that she would prove elephantlne
in a rolickng role. on the contrary
she is as lightsome and suptle III ue-
picting humor as one could ASK, ana as
Nancy herself she gives us, without
exception. the best all around character
that she has presented during her stay
here. And that Is great praise indeed.
One feels however, that 1t Is her que.
Elsie Esmond and Maude Gilbert are
close at her heels, too. Miss Esmono
really surprises; her voice has ordl-
narilly that weepy character that nus
with the poor or-oppressed-wife role. III
this however, she does the young
daughter admirably, and is as lnsouci-
ant and bright as a sunbeam. Wnile
Miss Gilbert, in a somewhat more SOBER
part, Is Just as delightful.
But the men claim the great share OF
the frolicsomeness, and not one of them
but makes a hit. Burton, as the OLD,
irascible but girl-craze father. is Won
der; Harry Mestayer, as well man
aged husband, is clever; Harcourt Is to
the life very much overexaggerated
dude, which he should be; Arthur Rut-
ledge is fine as the distracted poet, and
Desmond once more restored to us, is
good as the lover-lieutenant, looking
we'll in his soldier clothes and making
new appeal to the matinee girls
hearts. The minor characters fit in
with the rest, a bit of a maid by Fay
BANTER being especially clever.
For all around team work, hilarious
mirth, fine clothes, good character play
ing and well balanced depletion Nancy
& Co." will not be excelled even by the
Burbank company for many a day.

teresting In amusing character portray
