Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-02

me when I tell you that I put on two
performances every night. The last
one naturally is out late, and that
means q great rush by my people or a
walk home. Now, II Will be different;
we can take as much pains with the
last one as we do with any other,
and IL will be great help to everyone
concerned. The Herald had a hard
row to hoe in getting the cars, and I
am immensely pleased that IL has suo-
ceeded."
Mr.. Drown Is Delighted
Clarence Drown of the Orpheum and
Grand said:
"Owl cars? Certainly am glad we
get them, and The Herald deserves the
praise that is being 1avished on It
for its success Most of our plays let
out early enough for people to get
cars home, as Il is now, but hardly IN
time for late suppers and the like.
The Orpheum especially has suffered
from people rushing out during It's
final numbers and I am delighted to
know that this Is no longer necessary.
It's a great move forward puts us
in the metropolitan class, and will be
q fine thing for every theater here"
Makes Metropolitan City
James Smith, the Spring street
clothier, gave vigorous expression to an
approval Of Mr.. Huntington's compile
anoe with the demand made through
The Herald columns. He said:
THE victory won by The Herald must
necessarily add to the cosmopolitan ma
ture of our city which was sadly Lack
ing in that essential of q powerful
municipal life.
Los Angeles has arisen to level
with the great eastern centers of busi-
ness and social life. Minus an owl car
service we were In measure placed
with suburban localties."-
Club Manager Exultant
Tom McCarey, manager of the Pa
cifc Athletic club, said:
Everything I've heard for the last
hour has concerned The Herald's owl
car victory. Mr. Huntington Is GER
tainly deserving of thanks for his de-
cision. Within a month after the rule
goes into effect we will be wondering
how Los Angeles got along without
late cars.
II am heartily in favor of the move
ment, having observed thousands of
instances where owl cars were an i'm
perative need, Los Angeles has reached
that stage where mere day and early
evening service is not sufficient We
have outgrewn the limits which called
for a day system only and glance
at the congested condition resulting
with the close of theaters under the
present condition, is all that Is re-
quired to impress the need of owl
cars"
Police Surgeons Grateful
Police Surgeon Cook said:
II am certainly pleased to learn that
the city is to have late car service.
1t will ge a great convenience to the
police surgeons who frequently are
to remain at the station all
night because of some operation per-
formed near midnight. Many accident
cases come into the receiving hospital
between IL O'Clock and midnight With
the present service that does not give
one time to catch the last car.
Il am sure all the surgeons are
grateful to Mr.. Huntington and The
Herald, for the promise of owl cars"
VIII Greatly Aid Police
Officer Sam Mckenzie said late car
service would be appreciated by nearly
every patrelman ON the force,
re will be of great advantage to men
home after reporting off
duty said the policeman. 1T will
also aid patrolmen sent on call early
in the morning. As it now stands, an
officer must ride a wheel or else secure
a carriage.
IT think The Herald deserves great
chedit for its successful efforts for owl
cars"
cIergymen in Line
Los Angeles clergymen showed their
approval of the crusade for owl cars
on by The Herald by indorsing
the plan and offering congratulations
for the victory, which were extended
also to Mr.. Huntington for granting
the requests.
Clergymen of Los Angeles have long
approved of the idea to help the work.
