THE LOTTERY Of
LOVE- A WINNER
CAPITAL PRIZE DRAWN BY THE
BURBANK FARCEURS
Very Lively Play Done In Good
Fashion--Pretty Rough House at
Times, but Full Of Fun--At
the other Houses

You can draw capital prize every
night this week in "The Lottery oi
Love" at the Burbank theater ana the
postal authorities can't do thihg 10
you
Also, you can scream you'seli nVaIse its
and shrek till you are manlcal at tne
funniest combination or clrcuiIls'tIllCe 's
ever nut together, and you can gaze
at gallant Bill Desmond pick Dresden
china.Iike Elsie Esmond up as II she
were a sack of meal, throw her over
his shoulder and do war dance, Win
the utmost sang-froid.
You can see character woman 'as
;s" 81 character woman, break her way
nast ali the barriers that Los Angeles
instinctIvely raises against q new conner
who supplants an old favorite, and
watch Carrie Clark Warde make
everyone else in the cast take back
seat and play seeder to her wierd but
superb comedy work.
And you can watch a whole clever
company of players do comedy as If
they had never done anything else in
their lives, with a verve, an JUNCTION
and a rollicklng good humor that leaves
YOU tickled down to the utmost depths
of your soul. For a gloomy week,
drizzly and hampered by an election in
which only one candidate of half a
dozen can win, it is a superlative offer
ing. Go; laugh, forget your woes and
get fat.
"The Lottery of Love" is an Angus
tin DAILY adaptation of a French farce
and betrays it's parentage by Gallo
flavor of tartness now and then. 1t
was done in the Burbank some three
years ago by the James Neil company
and is thus familiar to theater goers
I'm general, so it's plot need not be re-
Cna fn a III
concerns the marital affairs of a young
chap who weds vastly more mother-in-
law than wife; who divorces her and
weds another, only to see that other s
widowed father wed his former spouse,
thus fetching the former virago back
to his domicile again. That these en-
tanglement5 are unraveled in the end
one will hardly believe possible. But
they are, and Maude Gilbert speaks a
delightful tag" that married and
prospective-married folk will do well to
heed.
AS the much mother-in-lawed, Bill
Desmond is wonderfully active, sufft-
ciently henpecked and always funny.
AS the mother-in-law, Carrie Clarke
Warde has made good" to Burbank
audience for all time; in fact, she
makes the piece above all others. John
w. Burton, as the father-in-law, re-
takes a role he already won praise for
in the former company. Maude Gill
bert is slightly stiff as the first wife,
but Elsie Esmond is lovely, doll-like
and happy as the second. Arthur Rut-
ledge is fine as an old sea dog and
Harry Mestayer is properly elegant as
the best friend. Tom Dangerous. Car
rol Marshall does bit as a maid that
isn't half bad. But it is the team work
that counts in this affair, and it is ad-
mirable. Even the slight broadness al
times does not mar the farce and 1t
has excuse enough in being, that it is
a gale of laughter from first curtain to
finale, though decidedly rough-house at
times.
Leah Kleschna,'' with Katherine
Willard, the new leading woman in the
title role is promised for next week.

charges made against ex-Councilmar
M. I. Collins, non-partisan and Demo-
| cratic nominee for councilman for the
Ninth ward, in the California Voice Of
| November %, 1906, a marked copy OF
which has been sent broadcast in the
Ninth ward, respectfully report to the
executive committee that we have
made a complete and careful investiga-
ton of the charges generally, and par
Jackson street, which the Voice charges
belongs to Mr.. Collins and was, up to
March, 1906, used for immoral pur-
poses.
1--WE find that Mr.. Collins is not the
owner of the property and that the
property stands in the name of Mr..
Zukerman. Mr.. Collins sold the lot on
which the property stands more than
twenty years ago and has never had
any interest in it since. Furthermore,
the property is now occupied as Jap
anese lodging house, and, according to
abundance of testimony in the neigh
bcrhood, has not been used for i'm
moral purposes for years, if ever.
I'm relation to the house at 413 Jack
son street, described as Mother Slo-
GUMS place, which, it is specifically
stated, was used up to recent date
for immoral purposes we find that
this four-room house was occupied for
a year and a half prior to September.
1906, as residence by woman about
u years of age, claiming to be the
widow of Gen. Slocum. There is not
the slightest evidence that it was used
for any immoral purpose whatever by
her or during her tenancy of a year
and half, and such testimony as we
can obtain appears to negative this
possibility. 1t is now rented as Jap
anese restaurant and is so occupied.
I'm relation to the house, Ala Moth
Alameda street, which the Voice
charges was, up to recent date, used
for immoral purposes, specifying that
1t was run bY the notorious Mrs. Eloy,
we find that for fifteen years this prop
erty was used and occupied as livery
stable; for three years thereafter as
a planning MILL this occupancy ending
in June last it never has been fitted
up as a lodging house or for any kind
OF residence whatever and is now used
as a Japanese store and barber shop.
1--WE report further that we are satis-
fed beyond doubt that not only the
specific charges made against Mr.. Col
lins, but the impression intended to be
conveyed by the article as to his per-
sonal character and business relations,
are absolutely false and unworthy, and
we are satisfied that the article was
deliberately devised with malicious
purpose to injure Mr.. Collins before the
people of the Ninth ward, and we enter
on record our protest against such
action.

ond ward I will do the following things:
First: Devote as much time as is
necessary to look out for the interest
of the entire ward. This means all of
my time if it should be needed.
Second: / shall work for every sec
ton of the ward and endeavor to Sc

Third: 1t will be my purpose to in

Fourth: Further, 1 will endeavor to

Fifth: 1 stand for the Owens river

for this mighty and necessary work.
"Sixth: I will finally state that there
is not a corporation, organization or in

fluence on me, and lastly, the only boss
that 1 will obey will be the will and
just demands of a majority Of the peo-
pie of the Second ward.
Seventh: favor competition in gas.

others of equal note, which is now In

New Orleans, a critical musical center,
has received it most cordially.
Mary Van Buren,, who concluded her
engagement at the Burbank last night,
will, it is understood, spend a month
at one of the beach resorts before she
goes east. Her plans beyond this are
not disclosed.
If the Hotchkiss does close-"if''-
Los Angeles will lose in George How
ard one of the cleverest comedians ever
seen here. Howard has not exploited
himself in any of the accustomed f1ashy
ways since he came here, but by sheer
worth and ability he has built up a
following loyal, sympathetic and enthu-
siastic If he should go away he would
leave keen regrets and most pleasant
memories behind. 1t would be a pity
if the other stock theaters let him get
out of town; he would be Invaluable
to any of them.
DICK FerrlS IS Oue TO leave New i OTk
today with dozen or fifteen members
of the stock company which opens at
the Auditorium Christmas day. They
are expected to arrive about next Sun
day. Florence Stone is his leading
woman.
After this weeks offering at the
Mason comes Robert Edeson in
"Strongheart''; then Olga Nethersole
and Mary Mannering. Verify, the Ma
son seems to be coming into it's own at
last.
Leah Kleschna," the famous play
which Mrs. Fiske did as the swan song
of the old Hazards pavilion, is still in
preparation at the Burbank, and will
probably go on next week, introducing
Katherine Willard, the new Burbank
leading woman.
The Japanese troupe of acrobats who
open at the Orpheum tomorrow are
coming with glowing tributes of ex-
cellence from all along the circuit. Re-
ports have 1t that they are quite extra
ordinary, even for Japanese acrobats-
admittedly the best in the business.

CALIFORNIA ACTOR IS
CORDIALLY WELCOMED IN
THE CONVICT'S DAUGHTER

To some playgoers the atmosphere OF
the Jail, the thrill of pursuit or capture
of evil doers and the spirit of retribu-
ton appeals strongly. All this and
more is to be found in The Convict
Daughter" at the Grand opera house
this week.
This, and the fact that George j. Ell
more. a California faVorite. heads the
company, possibly accounts for the
yociferouS welcome given the players
yesterday. Elmore has played in the
Burbank, Frawley and Alcazar stock
companies for ten years back, and does
sterling work. He makes good as the
tramp, of keen philosophy and heart
in the right place. In the comedy
situations Carrie Bellmore, a clever
soubrette, assists admirably. Evelyn
Nicholson is ':the daughter"
The plot of the show has undergone
revision and readaptation for forty
years. when under the title 'Joquerese
the Juggler" it was first inspired by
an incident in French history. 1t was
used again as "The Fenian," with Irish
environments of course, and also
passed muster as "A Noble Outcast''
and Jerry, the Tramp" In each case
the aristocrat gentleman or castaway
reduced from affluence to penury is
used as the throbber.
1.-The Convicts Daughter tells of an
attempt to force a girl to marry man
in whom she takes absolutely no in
terest. The hand of Providence, is
exerted through hobo, who turns out
to be the father of the girl, and incl
dentally saves her foster parent, a
southern gentleman, from ruin at the
hands of a villainous confidential clerk.
The scenes are built for climaXes, the
notable one being the convicts' quarry
and the escape over the prison wall, in
which there is all the gunplay and
bravado necessary for up-to-date
melodrama. The painter has tried his
best to make the jail interior look for
bidding, but somehow the stage Jail
never looks like a disagreeable place
for exile. The stage director who will
invent a setting that is really grew
some will satisfy the moralists who
contend that melodramas attract
rather that turn young folks thoughts
from the glamour of crime.
Elmore's support is fairly good and
as the heart interest and the Villainy
are sufficiently well emphasized none
viii dispute the fact that some real
phases OF life are pictured. Perhaps
one conscientious actor shown on the
program ought to be mentioned. He is
down as Danger, by himself" This is
Elmore's Boston terrier, known to ken
mel clubs as "Strong-heart.
