EASY PHILANTHROPY.
Get the Credit While the Other Fellow
Furnishes the Money.


Furnishes the Money.
A big "scab' clothing company iE
Chicago rushed frantically to the front
when contributions for San Francisco
were called for, and planked down a
liberal sum- OF course the fact was
mentioned at length in the newspapers
and the "scab" clothing manufacturers
got lot of advertising out of it.
But the following Monday a notice
OF severe reduction in wages was
posted in that same company's factory,
and the reduction for a month will
more than Offset the contribution to the
San Francisco sufferers.
That is cheap way to get reputa-
ton for philanthropy. 1t takes
.scab" employer to play that sort Of
a trick.

STRIKERS DONATE.
Streator Miners Divide with the San
Francisco Sufferers.

Talk about brotherly love and all
that sort of thing-the striking coal
miners at Streator, ILL.,, gave an exhf-
bition of it the other day. They have
been out on strike for several weeks,
and have been on short rations them
selves. But when they heard of the
suffering in San Francisco they imme-
diately took up a collection and sent
$500 by wire to the stricken city.
That's what unionism teaches. It
takes good union men to do that sort
Of thing. And the Streator miners
have reflected honor and glory upon
unionism by their unself1sh action.

SHAKESPEARE IN
PUREST STYLE
AT DOBINSON'S

Reminiscent of Ben Greet was the
opening of the Shakespearean festival
by Constance Crawley and her company
of English players last evening at Dob
insons hall. Shakespeare was given in
the pure and original style, with spe-
cial stage setting. An episode from
Hamlet and the tragedy" of Juliet
were given last evening. Miss Crawley
as Juliet was a sweet bit of femininity
and in the last scenes gave a superb
portrayal of the woman
Arthur Maude as Capulet, Juliet's
father shared honors with Miss Craw-
ley in his portrayal He was forceful
and convincing in his scenes. Miss
Margaret Bucklin as Lady Capulet
was good Allen Leiber as the famed
Romeo lacked the spontaneous ardor
of the lover. He delivered his lines
well. Garnet Holme as Friar Law
renee" did not know hisl nes thor
oughly and showed some nervousness.
In his portrayal he did not come up to
the fatherly manner of the priest.
Throughout the scenes music was
rendered softly, which added much to
the beauty and solemnity.
The festival will be continued tonight
and tomorrow night, with a matinee to-
morrow aftpruOOu

GOOD BILL OF
VAUDEVILLE

mo. I'm not dead yet" said Artie
Hall to the Orpheum audience last night
in response to the hearty welcome
which greeted her appearance. She
was supposed to be lying dead in the
ruins of the San Francisco Orpheum,
according to report.
Artie made good on the proposition
that size was not dead. Her COON
shouting has never been equaled or
the Orpheum stage.
Another Orpheum act which escaped
the San Francisco disaster was Gold
mans dogs and cats. When the animal
trainer found that the Orpheum was
doomed he went into the theater, re-
leased his animals, he and his wife
carrying the cats in their arms, the
dogs following. The doves, being re-
leased, flew away. Several of his dogs
strayed away and were lost in the con-
fusion The Orpheum Circuit company
allows Mr. Coleman to play out his
engagement with an act which is only
a fraction of the one which the COM
pany booked for the circuit. What is
left of the act is good however. The
balance of the bill is acceptable.

NEW COMPANY
OPENS WEEK AT
FISCHER'S THEATER

Last night Fischer's new musical
company, composed of clever eastern
players headed by Bonnie May Beatrice
Golden and O'Brien and West, presented
new musical farce, THE King of
Catalina Island" produced under the
direction of Mr.. Griffith. In securing
these talented players Manager Fischer
has one of the best companies yet intro
duced at his First street theater, while
the style of plays to be presented, If
last nights offering is criterion,
should increase his patronage to capa-
city business. While the play is a con-
glomeration of local scenes, it is in
vested with clever dialogue and humor-
Gus situations that evidently pleased the
first nighters. A number of good
specialities are introduced in the new
bill which is augmented by a clever
chorus of pretty girls, we'll costumed
and drilled.

Miss Laneham and Mr.. De Grasse
Make the Most of Their Roles
and the Result is Sat-
isfying

THE Pretty Sister of jose is an
artistic triumph. 1t is completely salts
flying. 1t approximates perfection as
regards staging and acting. In The
Pretty Sister of jose" Miss Langham
has another Maude Adams part. BY
reason of her witchery and eerie
beauty. Miss Langham has special
aptitude for the Maude Adams KIND
of plays. How her rendition of Pepita,
proud, passionate, imperious and yet
with an unlimited capacity for loving
could be improved is not easily to be
conceived.
Miss Langham and Joseph De Grasse
are almost all of the Pretty Sister OF
Jose" De Grasse, for the first time
since he has been with the Belasco
forces, has been given a part which
would do his undoubted ability justice.
Swarthy, 1.-THE and graceful, with the
fire of the Spaniard dominating his
every move, he was the bull fighter in
carnate.
From every possible standpoint "The
Pretty Sister of Jose" is the most
satisfactory play that has been pro-
duced at the Belasco for months.

1.-The Little Trooper" comic opera
in three acts, written by William Furst,
is the attraction at the Hotchkiss
theater for the week. The farce is now
complete with Leo Adde and Robert
Pitkin furnishing the fun.
Lottie Kendall appears in the role OF
Clairette and her singing is up to her
usual style. Nina Seamans received
a large share of the applause last night.
The opera is replete with tuneful lines
and the chorus, one of the particularly
strong points of the Olympic Opera
company, takes full advantage of the
opportunities offered in the play.

two hundred injured men, women and
children from the Mechanics pavilion.
l state positively, for 1 was there and

in the pavilion when the building burst
into flames. 1 helped to place the last
flame-seared sufferer in a waiting am
bulance. The report that has gone
throughout the state that life was lost
in that great emergency hospital is a
cruel lie, told by those who were never
near the pavilion during all of that first
heartbreaking day-a lie that is tor
turing thousands who are praying for
news of loved ones.

jured were brought to the pavilion

Nurses Were Heroes
A large corps of surgeons. nurses and
internes from every hospital in the city
was already on hand. Stretchers. mat
tresses, coverings, surgical instruments,
bandages, medicines and every appli-
ance necessary to the caring for the
desperately injured had been provided.
Vehicles ranging from push carts to
automobiles were pressed into service
as ambulances. Nurses acted as sur
geons, and many man today owes his
or the life of his wife or child to those
white gowned girls who labored un-
ceasingly until they dropped from sheer
exhaustion.

Abandon Doomed Building
One little fellow with his face
scorched almost beyond recognition
was carried in by his mother. He ap-
peared to be unconscious. AS the
mother knelt upon the floor by the mat
tress the childs eyes opened. Raising a
bistered hand he caressed the cheek of
the weeping woman. A moment later
he was dead. This was but one of the
heartbreaking scenes that brought
groans from the lips of strong men.
About 10 o'clock it was seen that the
building was doomed. Quietly the work
of removing the mass of tortured flesh
was begun. Those who refused to con-
tribute automobiles to the work of res
cue had their property confiscated by
the police. BY II o'clock but a few of
the injured remained. and ten minutes
before the flames reached the building
the last sufferer was on his way to the
Preside. A small quantity of hospital
supplies was lost. Twenty of the dead
were left in the building.

when the latter did not stop when chal-
