~ALIFORNIA is loyal to her own.
OF nothing is she prouder than Of
the products of her own. The
things that grow in her soil; on her
trees, in her wateis-all these she
boasts.
But her native growths and treasures
are as nothing compared to her pride
in the achievements of brain of her
sons and her daughters. Paintings,
poems, novels, plays, music-these she
glories in.
The brain workers of this golden
state have been especially active this
winter, and their products, on the book
line especially, have been numerous
and good. 1t is pleasure here to re-
view the few now at hand.
Mrs. Carter Harrison is not a "real-
ly, truly" Californian, but she is one
by adoption and as she does nearly
all her writing here. her work must
necessarily be considered of our own.
She is now at Redlands and thus by
adoption she is of the state. During
her stay in Southern California her pei.
has been very busy, and one of it's pro-
ductions is THE Moon Princess" an
other of those most delightful stories
for children, In the series which has
brought her fame and endeared her to
the hearts of every little one. "The
Moon Princess" in a superb garb and
beautifully illustrated, is a McClurg
book by issuance but still it must be
insisted that 1t is native to this SOIL
In that only hereabouts could so fan
tastically charming tale have ueen
woven. OF sunbeams and golden skies
threaded with fieecy clouds: of birds
ana butterflies; Of the sea shells and
their tales; of the old ocean and the
rumble of his deep voice; of the tur-
quoiSe-hued mountains and the opal
escent valleys shimmering in the haze
of all these Mrs. Harrison took and
in the crucibe of her fertile mind she
melted them into fairy life and fancy
And from the whole she wove her
story-which is as dainty as its title.
And Lucy Fitch Perkins, with brush
and pen, caught the spirit of this dream
and illustrated 1t. A rare book it is
and lovely one-here's hopes for many
more.

BURBANK THEATER "Esmeral-

furore in some of the large cities of

Morosco for the Burbank attraction

The cast is a long one. the scenic pos
sibilities practically unlimited and the
thread of the story is at once inter-

Every Burbank favorite will be in the
cast and the play will run for one week,

Under the second. that the child must be taught to take care of h.s health and to put up the lest appeara 1.e pos- sible. Under the third, he ineiudr6 courage, charity, industry and service.
