NEXT MAYOR HAS

.THIRTY-SEVEN BERTHS AT
EXECUTIVES DISPOSAL
Many Appointments in Connection
With the Owens River Are Also
Expected to Fall to Me-
AIeer's Successor

The slogan that ITO the victor belongs

to the next mayor of Los Angeles than
has been the case since civil service
shut off the myriad of appointments.
Positions that are worth while will be
open for the next mayors appointment,
and are worth more than they have
ever been before on account of the
fact that, through the recent charter
amendment, the next term will be four
years, instead of two, as has been the
case heretofore.
The next mayor will have payroll
OF $265O a month for his appointees.
There will be 81 vacancies for him to
fill during the term of his office.
Before January, 1910. every appointee
in the water commission, the civil serv-
ice commission and the board of public
works will be vacated with the excep-
ton of ]. j. Fay of the water commits
sion. whose term will not expire until
February, 1910, and Milton K. Young
of the civil service commission, whose
term expires at the same time, Every
other appointive office will be vacated
in time for the next mayor to name a
successor.
The List
The appointments that the next
mayor will be able to make and the
salaries they pay are as follows:

To ASK GRIFFITH
FOR PERMISSION
EDISON COMPANY OFFERS
$1,000 FOR PARK PURPOSES
Electric People Agree to Light Grif-
fifth Reservation In Return for
Right to Maintain Steel
Tower There

At the meeting of the park commits
sion yesterday morning it was decided
to refer the donation of $1,000 by the
Edison Electric company for park pur-
poses to the city council to do with it
as the council chooses
This donation was made to the park
commission in consideration of granting
the Edison company the privilege Of
maintaining steel towers IN Griffith
park for the purpose of carrying the
wires that will bring power from the
Kern river.
When 1T was known that the park
commission had made this concession
the councils dignity was very much
hurt, as the grant is in the nature of a
franchise and only the council has the
right to grant franchises.
The council asked the city. attorney il
the park commission had the right to
grant this privilege, and on being as
sured that 1t had not, sent a message
to that effect to the commission.
The action of the commission in send
ing the $1,000 donation to the council Is
the result of this communication. In
addition TO the $1,000 the Edison COM
pany agreed to light Griffith park free
Of cost, and this, the commission thinks.
Is of even more value than the gift of
money. The commissioners ask that
this be considered when the council is
asked TO grant franchise for the
purpose of maintaining towers and
wires in Griffith park.
Members OF the council declare they
will not take action without consult
ing Grlffith j. Grlffith, the donor of the
park. Mr.. Griffith will be released from
state prison this falb where he has
nearly completed two years term,
and no action Is probable until he re-
turns TO Los Angeles.

large hooks and eyes.
Before the curtain rises the maids
carry all the costumes, shoes, stock

up to the temporary dressing room
which has been made in one corner of
the stage.
The play begins, the murder is conf
mitted and the audience sees Mrs.
Hastings make her escape through
the long French window opening into
the garden. The Herald young woman
sees Miss Wycherly come running
across the stage. with a maid flying at
her heels; as she runs the maid tears
the exquisite frock from the actress
shoulders and lets it fall: at the same
moment Miss Wycherly throws off her
wig, kicks off her evening slippers, and
as she runs toward her makeup glass
she plunges into the gown worn by the
servant Annie, which another maid
holds in readiness. In another moment
a new wig is adjusted, few lines added
with the makeup pencil, and the ugly,
dull-witted, middle-aged servant stands
ready for her entrance. Fourteen Sec
onds have barely elapsed.
The change from the servant to the
little lame girl is made in much the
same manner. only in this instance the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-15

Los Angeles, noted throughout the
country for its we of fine acting and
it's quick discrimination in things the
atrical, is this week enjoying to the
uttermost a remarkable example of
character acting.
This is the performance of Margaret
Wycherly erstwhile exponent of Yeats,
Shaw and Maeterlinck, who is at pres
ent appearing in vaudeville at the
Orpheum in tense little one-act drama
written for her by Bayard WELLER, a
former San Francisco newspaper man.
In this drama Miss Wycherly is seen
in no fewer than six widely different
characters making the changes in
periods ranging from six to twenty
seconds. These changes in themselves
would be the making of any vaudeville
play, but in this instance they take
secondary place to the clean cut, fine
character acting they inspire.
A behind the scenes view of Miss
Wycherly's performance is even more
interesting than that had from the aud
itorium of the Orpheum, for there one
comes into a full realization of just
what these quick changes mean.
A Herald young woman watched the
actress make her changes yesterday
afternoon. The work began in the
dressing room, where two deft young
maids took Miss Wycherly in hand as
soon as she arrived at the theater. For
her work Miss Wycherly is dressed in
close fitting white silk knickerbockers,
black silk stockings and a low-cut,
tight-ftting waist of white muslin
timmed with lace. Her long red gold
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-15

character makeup is removed and a
fresh straight makeup put on. The
blue silk wrapper and fine nightgown
are all in one piece the stockings and
bedroom slippers are drawn on while
the actress is adjusting her wig and
in little less Il Il nine seconds Annie
is transformed into Nell.
The change from Nell into Maizie
Mazette takes longer, fully twenty-five
seconds being consumed. This calls
from new shoes and stockings, a lace
shirt waist, a cloth skirt and a separate
bolero coat, all consuming time in ad-
justing. The kat and wig are fastened
together and go on with the false nose,
so skillfully made that at five feet, even
without the friendly glare of the foot
lights, it is hardly possible to tell that
l. Is not real.
The change from Maizie to the grand
mother is made in fewer than ten sec
onds, and the most remarkable change
of ALL from the old woman to the
chauffeur, takes often less than five.
Then comes the big emotional scene.
The applause comes in waves from the
front of the house and the curtain goes
up and down and up again. and yet
again and again before Miss Wycherly
comes off the stage breathless and ex-
hausted.
1t is two minutes before she can
speak.
