Don't Scold the Babies.

Self-government with tenderness
here you have the condition of all
authority over children. The child
must discover in us no passion, no
weakness of which he can make use;
he must feel himself powerless to de-
ceive or trouble us; then he will rec
ognize in us his natural superiors,
and he will attach a special value to
our kindness, because he will respect
it. The child who can rouse In us
anger or impatience or excitement,
feels himself stronger than we, and a
child respects strength only.
The mother should consider herself
as her child's sun, changeless and
ever-radiant world, whittier the small
! restless creature, quick at tears and
laughter, light, tickle, passionate, full
of storms, may come for fresh stores
of light, warmth and electricity, O
calm and of courage.
The child sees what we are, behint
what we wish to be. Hence his repu
tation as physiognopist. Uncon
sciously he passes under the inflU
ence of each person about him, an
reflects it, while transforming
after his own nature. He is a magn
fying mirror. This Is why the mrs
principle of education is: Trai2 you
self: and the first rule to follow,
YOU wish to possess yourself OF
child's will, is: Master your own
Exchange.

TORCH is HIS RAZOR.
New Hampshire Man singes Beard
Off Without Burning Himself.

Every man is his own barber IN
Mount Vernon, n. H., as far as shaV'

tonsorial parlOrs. In many other New |
Hampshire towns men are frequently |
accommodated by the village postmas,

ter. who owns razor or two, and Is
a barber, when occasion requires.
When Mount Vernon men want
haircut they go to Milford or some
other large town.
There is one native Of the place,
a man of Sc years, who has neither a
beard nor a heavy growth Of hair,
who does not leave town or enlist
the aid of a neighbor in "chOpping

himself, it is not secret. He has
no patent upon it, and rather prefers
others to follow his example, If they

process can be done anywhere, In the

SECOND WEEK OF
''HEART OF MARYLAND"
AT THE BELASCO

Amelia Gardner and her associates
of the Belasco theater stock company
will continue to delight large Belasco
audiences this week with "The Heart
of Maryland"
1t is quite unusual for a dramatic
composition to attain such local popu-
larity as has come to the David Belasco
play during the summer months, and
were 1t not for the fact that many
hundreds were unable to secure seats
for last weeks performance of "The
Heart OF Maryland" the Belasco man
agement would have been extremely
loath to keep the piece on for second
week.
The cast that will interpret the
Belasco play of war time days will be
practically the same as last week.
The only change in the program will
be the assumption by Harry j. West
of the part of young Lieutenant Tefaif
the role played last week by Robert l..
Dempster.
Mr. Dempster had planned to com
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-02

mence his vacation this morning and
found 1T impossible to remain in the
city for another week. The popular
young Belasco actor will go to his home
at Buffalo. N. Y, and in week will
join a number of his former class
mates from Cornell university in a
hunting and fishing expedition in Can
ada. Mr.. Dempster will return to the
Belasco force in plenty of time to par
ticipate in the second anniversary of
the stock company the latter part of
August.
The Belasco management finds the
patrons of the house uncommonly keen
for a second view of the fine acting of
Amelia Gardner, Howard Scott, Rich
ard Vivian and the other members of
the stock organization. the sale of seats
being fully as large as for last week.
The matinee and night performances
on the Fourth are practically sold out,
and the patriotic portions of "The
Heart of Maryland" should provide
capital entertainment for the holiday
audiences.

SIzz-BOOM SHOW
At THE GRAND
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA
IS WARLIKE

Most appropriate to Fou h Of July
week is Marching Through Georgia."
which is the production at the Grand
opera house this week.
The melodrama is full of patriotic
lines and situations.
The setting of the first act of March
ing Through Georgia" is one of the best
that has been put Oh at the Grand this
season. The play deals with the Civil
War period. and there is action every
minute.
Marching Through Georgia" Is a
sane. sensible melodrama, and the situ-
ations have u semblance of possibility.
There are fewer shots fired in
Marching Through Georgia." which Is
supposed to be a war drama, than in
any of the recent thrillers. The smudge
of burnt powder does not hover over
the stage to such an extent as it usually
does
Harrison King has a manly, vigorous
character to portray and he does it
we'll.
The, old soldier of Arthur Hill was one
of the best bits of character work that
he has ever done. The clustering,
stout hearted, kindly old veteran was
. ideally interpreted by Mr.. Hill. He has
not been seen to the best advantage in
the previous productions, but this week
he shows what genuinely clever char
acter actor he is.
Frank Frayne, who has been Irish,
Italian and French, is negro this
week. F'rayne can always be relied upon
to do his BEST and this week his best is
excellent. Miss Smell has rather an i'm
possible part, but she does well with it.
Myrtle Selwyn's name does not ap-
pear on the program, but she was
vivacious and charming.
Pryse Mackaye is another villain this
week. He does his deadly work and
shudders lest he be found out in the
usual manner. His ideas of love MAX
ing, as exemplfied in the third act, are
rather singular, but he gives repre-
sentation of virile, whole-souled sort
of a villain.
Marching Through Georgia" has,
plot that has been utilized time after
time, but it is always excusable, and in
this instance when one wants to be
stirred up to realization of the great
ness of our country it is just the sort
of thing to do the work.

"THE ENSIGN" AND
"HEDDA GABLER"
ARE MAGNETIC

Manager Morosco has increased his
box Office force to handle the sale of
seats for "The Ensign and "Hedda
Gabler."
1.-The Ensign" scored a clean victory
yesterday afternoon and last evening
and that t'Hedda Gabler'' will prove
equally as popular is proven in the tre-
mendouS demand even at this early
day for seats for Thursday afternoon.
During the past ten days rehearsals
have been in full progress and after
a great deal of bard work everything
has been shaped into readiness for a
smooth production. Constance Crawley
will be seen as Mrs. Hedda Tesman,
Harry Mestayer will appear as Ejlert
Looberg, Elsie Esmond will play Mrs.
ElvSted, Nina Gleason will be seen as
Mrs. Juliana Tesman, Carol Marshall
will have the role of Bertha in her care
while Joseph De Grasse will play the
role of Judge Brack.
Up to date there has been an unpre-
cedented demand for box and loge
seats, which would indicate that So
ciety has taken up this Ibsen matinee
in earnest. There will be several
large parties occupying portions of the
main floor, there being a large num-
ber of people who will interrupt their
vacations at nearby beaches especially
to witness this remarkably popular Of
fering.
The regular evening prices will pre-
vail and the curtain will rise at 2:15.

pa irons of this theater one of the fun
niest comedies yet offered by the stock
company.
New songs will be introduced by Rich
ard Burton, the new baritone, who has
made favorable impression by his
clever singing specialties; Ida Bauman
has a new song, in which she will be
assisted by the beauty chorus in unique

vacious little soubrette. will present a
new singing and dancing speciality
that should add fame to her popularity.

pictures will complete the bill which

"ROLY POLY AT
THE H0TCHKlSS
Is A WINNER

The best burlesque which has been
given at the Hotchkiss this season is
"Roly-Poly" which opened yesterday
afternoon. Both 81. o. u" and the
Beauty Shop were good, but better
than either Is "Roly-Poly." Dill and
Dillon are seen as Jockeys German
noblemen, magicians, and in the last
act they appear as burglars.
One of the best parts of the bur-
lesque is Ben Dillon's act with Lille
Sutherland. 1t is a delicious burlesque
of Legitimate drama and the local ref
erences introduced are most laughabe
"Roly-Poly" is, besides being the title
of the burlesque, the name of band
of criminals. To this collection of
crooks Dill, Kolb, Dillon and several
others belong. They all lose their
money by making a book at the races
and to play even they decide to enter
a house and steal everything that can
be removed. The scene is supposed to
take place in the middle of the night.
Through a hole in fireplace, which is
made with loud noises by Dillon as
house. One steals the silverware, an
other the oil paintings and the third
breaks open safe with a sledge ham
mer and annexes the contents.
A French detective played by Will
liam Gleason makes laughs. George
Cohan'S talking song, "Life's a Very
Funny Proposition, After ALL" was
given by Edward Hutchinson. If the
rendition had been somewhat less
tragic 1T would have been better.
Lille Sutherland carries off the SOU
brette honors admirably. The little
singer possesses a more than ordinar-
lily charming personality. and it is not
hard for her to make good with an
audience. The magic exhibition of
Kolb and Dill was one of the funniest
things that have been given in a Los
Angeles theater. The scene which Dill
lon had with Miss Sutherland, in which
he. in a burlesque of legitimate drama,
disowns her, was almost spoiled last
night by the failure of the orchestra to
come in at the right time. 1t is good
scene and should not be marred by
careless work on the part of the Or
chestra.
