THE PAYMASTER
PLEASES AT
THE PEOPLES

The Paymaster'' at the rev Peoples
itheater last night pleased a packed
mouse. The play is one of the brightest
and one of the most pleasing that has
been presented by this company since
IT'S advent into things theatrical i'll Los
Angeles.
Miss Ethel Tucker. as the young Irish
helress, loved by both an English
colonel and an Irish lieutenant and the
consequent cause of the trouble that
ensued, was good to look at Mr..
Brandon. as the paymaster, who is
loved by the Irish maiden did good
work and took great chances i'm his
flying leap from prison into river of
real 60 water. Miss Hartley as the
mother and Mr., West as the old Irish
sergeant were both good. The comedy
element was well sustained by Mr..
Diamond, Mr.. Dickinson and Miss
Tanner.
Two new members of the company.
Miss Lawrence and Mr.. Wagner. also
came in for share of good work.

M0R0SC0 DEFIES
NEW YORK CRITICS
WITH HIS PLAY

The Judge and the Jury" the Mo-
rosco- Cottrell play which had five
weeks run at the Burbank theater
here. and was presented for two weeks
in New York city, closed there last
Saturday night.
The play did not take on Broadway,
the critics finding considerable fault
with it, but Mr.. Morosco. who is now
in New York has faith in the -"oduc-
ton and has advised Charles Eyton,
his business manager here, that 1t will
be sent out on the road, with the same
great cast that presented it in New
York. with the exception of Ida Con-
quest, whose services were only lent
for the New York stay.
The play was to have run six weeks
in New York and time was allowed it
for that long.
Charles Frohman was interested. but
he. it is reported is the responsible
factor in it's non success in the metrop-
oils He insisted that many changes
he made in the book as given here, cut =
ting out much of the cor:edy and max
ing it into a parlor sort of melodrama.
In this guise it appealed neither to the
society-play devotee nor to the lover of
real melodrama, and of course fell be-
tween two stools.
This was done, it is understood.
against the wishes of Mr. Morosco, ana
when the play takes the road. which
will be right away, it will be restored
to it's original lines. as it was given
here with such signal success.
The other Morosco play, in which
Jessie Mae Hall is starring, is now on
the road and is making good every
where. Reports from Mr.. Morosco are
that its success is above expectations
Mr. Morosco will be home the latter
part of this week, when it is believed
announcement of the new leading wo-
man for the Burbank will be made, as
Miss Van Burens stay will he only a
couple of weeks more. He may also
have some rather surprising announce
ments of new plays which he has Sc
cured for his Los Angeles house.

REVIVE MILLER'S
GREAT PLAY AT
THE BELASC0

Henry Miller's successful play, THE
Only Way" will be made use of this
week by the Belasco company. The
piece is familiar to local playgoers and
is recognized as one of the strongest
dramas Of the French revolutionary
period.
1t is a dramatic version of Dickens
"A Tale of Two Cities and in making
the story over for stage purposes the
original has been followed with un-
common fidelity
Sidney Carton should afford Louis
Stone, the new leading man of the
Belasco company, fine chance ito
prove his merits as an actor of serious
roles. and the management promises
that Stone will positively do this. 1t
is regarded as one of the actors best
efforts in stock companies in other
cities in which it has appeared.
The big mob scene in the third act OF
"The Only Way" is expected to reveal
new lights on George Barnum's genius
for handling large crowds of people
on the stage. Ir the present instance
Barnum has been compelled to drill
over a hundred auxiliary people for
this important part of the play,
and he expresses the opinion that, to-
nights performance will display some
of his most effective work In this line
of stage endeavor.
Besides Mr.. Stone, the cast of THE
Only Way" will include the entire
strepgth of the Belasco organization.

after a vacation spent in European

The financial condition in London

THE securities preferred are Amer

European financers do not invest
largely IN American mining shares,
their attention being directed to the

on their own continent, ard also toward
the Rand, or South African stocks.
81 might add however. that there
are large blocks of American Smelling

A Live !
Wire

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if you pene-
trate the skin with the point of
needle you will touch nerve
and receive a shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in
Jury to a nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from a large nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic
or other prominent nerve
branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the strain or
pressure upon the nerves.

this.

Ray Stannard Baker Makes Closing
Comments on Los Angeles and
Southern Grit--Likes
the People

Ray Stannard Baker. associate editor
of the American Magazine, formerly
Leslies who is q guest at the AleXan-
dria has Joined the admirers of the
Golden state, especially Los Angeles
and when seen last evening spoke en-
couragingly of the prospects of the
city.
In speaking of Los Angeles, Mr..
Baker said:
"I am like nearly everybody else, a
great admirer of Southern California,
and especially Los Angeles. | am much
surprised with the remarkable changes
that have been made in Los Angeles
since / was here the last time, about
three years ago.
1T is certainly a beautiful place in
which to live and also for business.
Everybody who comes here has about
the same stories to tell.
"One objection / lave, however, is
the dust at the outskirts, but that can
he, and is largely obviated by sprink-
ling with oil.
Growing to Beaches
"Yes, | have visited the local beaches
and Los Angeles is fast growing in
those directions Town lots are every
where laid out. apparently the most of
the way from Los Angeles to the Vari-
Gus beaches
In speaking of San Francisco, Mr..
Baker said:
Il have been at San Francisco sew
cral weeks looking into the results of
the disaster to the people In that city.
There is no doubt but that they will re-
build n fine city in the course of time,
hut no one knows the extent of the dis
aster If not really familiar with the
situation. II is wonderful, however, re-
gardng the grit and energy manifested
there it is a big undertaking to re-
build and re-esta blish business there
on account of the conditions of labor
and the high prices of materials.
THE hotels and restaurants outside
of the burned district seem to be doing
a thriving business and I think that
San Francisco is manifesting the same
American spirit that Los Angeles
would have under the same circum-
stances.
Four Thousand Buildings
Some 1000 temporary buildings have
been put up and some permanent ones
have been erected. The business men
seem to exercise their enterprise and
grit by taking their chances in the un-
certain state of affairs.
Some time previous to the disaster
the business men of the city invited y.
II. Burnham of Chicago, one Of the
greatest architects in the United States,
TO come to the city with a view of lay
ing out plans for beautifying it. He
came. but nothing further was done
than discussing the question before the
disaster. II was thought that this dis
cussion would he renewed after the
disaster, but conditions did not favor
the idea and the project has been
dropped and the building is mostly on
the old plan"

Surprise in Mckinney's Choice.

The chief surprise in the above dis
patch is contained in the statement as
TO Congressman McKinney's efforts on
behalf of a dark horse. In fact it was
not generally known until now that
Mr. Buck was an avowed candidate.
The general impression has been
that Congressman Mckinney was back
of III. A. ]. McDonald's candidacy for
the postmastership and the friends of
that gentleman are known to have been
confidently expecting favorable infor-
nation concerning him today.
The only possible ground for an er-
ror as to Congressman Mckinney s
preference may be in a confounding of
the name of Postmaster Buck of Mon
mouth.
