ACTORS HOLD A RECEPTION
Patrons of Grand Opera House Have
an Opportunity to Meet Heroes
in Makeups

A reception matinee, at which the
members of the audience were given
an opportunity of meeting the actors
and actresses of the cast, was given at
the Grand opera house yesterday after
noon At the conclusion of the matt
nee, at which Secret Service Sam"
was played, the curtain was rolled up
and Manager Frank Baker invited the
audience to meet the members of the
cast.
The stage was crowded in a few min
utes with women and men who had ad-
mired the actors and actresses of the
cast from afar, but had never met them
personally before. Groups of men
formed around pretty little Myrtle Sell
wyn, stately Lillian Hayward and
beautiful Corinne Smell. while the
women clustered around Harrison
King, Pryce Mackaye, Arthur Hill and
the other men. The reception was a
success from every point of view.
1t was undoubtedly more of sue
cess for the reason that the patrons of
the Grand are more faithful in attend
ance than at any other house, possibly.
The audience had personal interest
in each of the members of the cast,
and the reception created a bond of
sympathy that would not otherwise ex-
let

THEATER TREASURER IS
ARRESTED AT SALT LAKE
ROBERT S. MCCALL is CHARGED
WITH THEFT
Young Man Was Trusted Employe of
the Grand Opera House-6elieVed
Effort Will Be Made to Settle the
Case

Robert S. Mccall. who has for the
past fourteen months occupied the po-
sition of treasurer at the Grand opera
house and who left the theater Sunday
night with about $1OO which is said to
have been taken from the box office,
was arrested yesterday morning at
Salt Lake City.
1t was not the intention of Clarence
Drown, manager of the Grand and
Orpheum theaters, to prosecute the
young man had he returned the money
which he is alleged to have stolen.
When Mccall was arrested in Salt
Lake he refused to return the money,
which left Drown no option in the mat
ter, and complaint was secured
against Mccall. He will be brought
back from Salt Lake City by Detective
Boyd, who left Los Angeles last night.
Mccall was married about a year ago.
Mccall worked up to the respon-
sible position he held as treasurer Of
the Grand from usher of the Orpheum
He was In turn usher assistant ticket
seller at the Orpheum and fourteen
months ago he was appointed treasurer
of the Grand. Unlimited confidence
was given him. as his work had always
been most satisfactory and he seemed
perfectly trustworthy. McCalrs age
is less than 20. and 1t is believed by
the manager of the house that he did
not realize what he was doing.
AS the amount is so small IL is be-
lieved that 1t viii be made up and the
young man will be given a chance to
redeem himself. Mccall and his wife
lived at S031 Emmet street After his
arrest In Salt Lake City Mccall re-
fused to make statement. He left
the theater. saying he was going to
dinner Apparently he went then and
took a train for the east.

WOULD PROHIBIT
LUR|D PICTURES.
CAPTAIN FLAMMER MAKES A
RECOMMENDATION
Head of the Detective Force Tells the
Police Commissioners Youths
Are Influenced by Blood
and Thunder Plays

Paul Flammer, captain of detectives,
has developed the instinct of a dra-
matte critic, and as a result of his
evening agreed to recommend to the
city council the passage of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the kind of blood and
thunder dramas that have criminals
for their heroes.
Not only will the proposed ordinance
prohibit these kind of productions, but
also posters advertising them. Ac-
cording to Captain Flammer these
posters and plays have marked effect
on youths who are tempted to become
criminals through seeing them so gaud-
lily pictured on the stage and the poster
boards.
Captain Flammer set forth his ideas
to the commission in the following
communication
Tells of New York Ordinance
''I have observed in the newspapers
a report of the passage of an ordinance
by the board of aldermen of New York
prohibiting the display of posters and
other advertisements of theatrical at
fractions which may be indecent or
which expose to public view any pic
ture or cut tending to represent the do
ings of any criminal act or tending to
incite the mind to acts of immortality
or crime.
IT have also noticed an article in a
morning paper commenting on the
above and mentioning certain theatri-
cal paper now displayed in this city
which would certainly fall within the
provisions of such an ordinance If we
had one.
I'VE have an ordinance which is
probably sufficient, so far as indecent
or immoral representations are con-
cerned but l wish to add that from
my personal observation and experience
a great deal of harm is done to young
persons minds by such plays and the
advertising thereof as display criminals
and denizens of vicious haunts in the
guise of heroic persons.
Moral Is Obscured
while all such plays end with virtue
triumphant and the hero restored to his
family the villain, in the rude grasp
of the law, being the only unhappy
figure on the stage, the supposed moral
effect is all lost as a rule, because the
youthful members of the audience have
exhausted themselves with the thrill
ing exploits of the big and little VIII
lains, the only characters, as rule.
who appear to be living, human beings.
In them is conferred all the real inter
est of the show, and l know from per-
sonal interviews with young boys who
have started down the pathway of
criminality that such plays and the
advertising thereof have made deep
impressions on them and have exerted
a strong influence for evil.
II believe this matter is worthy OF
your consideration, with a view to a
recommendation to the council, for the
covering of these points by ordinance. +"

THE PRESIDENTS POWER.
Almost a Half Million Persons Under

Representative Prince of Illinois. in
a recent speech in the house, called
attention to a subject that is rarely
thought of by the people of the coun-
try-the tremendous power vested in
the president of the United States.
Mr.. Prince touched upon but one
phase of the subject at that-the num-
Der of men in the government service
whose official tenure is subject to the
whim or pleasure of the man in the
white house-but his remarks were
sufficient to cause his colleagues in
the house to sit up and take notice

one or all of the more than half a mil

branch OF the government, in the
competitive and non-competitive
branches, there are over. 300, 900 m
ployed. The army contributes 60, 900,
the navy and the marine corps con-
tribute $4,000 more, and the post
masters, large and small, add 10000
more, making in all more than AIS, 900
who hold their offices and are subject
to the control and under the direction
of the chief executive of the United
States. Add to this number the fed
eral judges, the district attorneys, the
marshals and deputy marshals, the
members of the diplomatic and con-
sular service, and the men engaged in
the great enterprise of constructing
the Panama canal, and the total is
considerably in excess of the 500, 900
mark. Any n Of them may be drop
ped from the service or promoted at
the will of the president, and it is
obvious that candidates for the pres
idency play for a tremendous stake.
However, what the president can do
in this respect, and what he does do.
