SAVE BURLESQUE
"TWlRLY-WHIRLY" is ROUND
OF F0OLISHNESS
Bobby North Scores Another Success
and His lit Relieves Night Of
Absolute Nonsense at
Mason

Bobby North as Mary MacPain Of
Butte. Montana, author of The Pipe
story of Mary MacPain," is the hit Of
"Twirly Whirly," the new burlesque at
the Mason this week.
It is well there is a hit, for "Twirly
Whirly" is the most objectionable bit
Of foolishness imaginable. To take 1T
seriously is a temptation, but one of
those get-thee- ee-behind-me- sort OF
temptations that must be put quickly
away for fear the management would
not like it. So go thee satan and bark
all of you to the good things about
the burlesque.
without a doubt Bobby North has
learned the art of makeup. He is
simply resplendent in princess gown,
marcel wave and tiny little corkscrew
curls Even his voice is made up and
the disguise is complete. He and Ed
Gallagher do a turn that is really clever
1t is burlesque on the various local
theaters, including the Belasco and
Grand. :
I'm going away from here" with
variations, furnishes the gist of the
Belasco performance as Mr.. North and
Mr.. Gallagher see it, but it takes a sec
tion of rail, a toy train. a snowstorm
and a dozen similar devices to produce
the desired effect of Grand play.
Rice and Cady reached the acme of
righteousness when they put on roller
skates and tried to demonstrate some
of the various ways of coming in con-
tact with the floor. After they had a
try at it and George Best came on and
really did things. but his hours of
labor at a local skating rink were COM
pletely overshadowed when Baby Lii
liam from Morley's rink appeared and
gave an exhibition of fancy skating.
Claire Garfield, who is one of two
girls who sing the Spanish song, "Old
Seville" wears one of the most elabo-
rate costumes ever seen on a local
stage.
Rosemary Glosz appears in the double
role of Mrs. Stockson Bonds, a wealthy
American widow, and Signorta Calve-
melba, belle of Seville. She wears
some striking costumes and sings a
couple of catchy songs. The chorus is
brilliantly costumed and the girls man.

ON JULY FOURTH DIITIES
ALL YARDS MUST BE KEPT
CLEAN
Vacant Lots Will Have Attention.
Small Boys With Gasppe cannons
May Be Arrested-Bombs Tabooed
in the Downtown District

Chief of Police Auble yesterday issued
orders to all of the patrolmen to report
any neglect in cleaning up the streets
and yards before the Fourth of July.
Chief Auble says that in this way the
danger from fire is much lessened. He
also asks that each citizen see to it that
his back yards are not full of weeds or
infammahle material.
An effort is being made to get all va
cant lots covered with dry and tinder-
like weeds cleared up. The police say
that a large fire is likely to be created
in such rubbish by a thoughtless boy
and a firecracker.
Strict orders have been issued against
the firing of bombs in the downtown
district, which extends from the Plaza
to Ninth street and from Hill street
east to Alameda street.
The boy with the gaspipe cannon is
likely to be arrested, for the police be-
lieve this to be the most dangerous
noise-making apparatus that has ever
been used in celebrating Independence

MISS BAYES' NEW
SONGS MAKE HIT
AT THE 0RPHEUM

The Kaufman bicyclists at the Or
pheum this week are cleverer than any
thing of that sort that has been at
that house for many weeks. The featS
which they perform with such airy
nonchalance are amazing to the lay
man. The large man of the troupe did
some stunts with the bicycle that are
hair raising
Nora Bayes is easily the best of the
rest of the bill although Willie Zimmer-
man has most clever act. He imper-
sonates more composers than he did
last week. Miss Bayes has two new
songs. The first, an Irish come-all-ye,
is a most delicious one and the music
is as pretty as the words are droll.
The other new one is a cockney song,
which is sung after the manner Of a
London, music hall artist. Miss Bayes'
cockney dialect is the best part of the
number. Her makeup for the song
could not be improved upon A glis-
tening white satin gown, which has
funny punches all over it, is the most
striking part of the costume. A bridal
veil with curious horns on the top
completes an ensemble that for sheer
righteousness is unequaled. For the
song, which tells of a cockney maid
who was deserted at the altar by her
husband-tO-be, who finally sends her a
HOIe lelllnS neG IIldI ne cant get
away 10 marry her today, his wife
won't let him." she was made up as
bedraggled as possible. For genuine
comedy Miss Bayes is the best that
has been seen at the Orpheum this
season.
Irving jones' a real negro comedian,
who manipulates his face and makes
grimaces wonderful to behold, is an
other Of the new acts. His songs are
funny and are well sung, all with the
effect of the grimacing face.
Gartelle brothers have an act called
"Skatorial Rollerisms." AS is Indicated
by the title, it is done on roller skates.
To those who see the funny side of
man falling heavily about forty times
to the minute, the act will appeal. The
dancing part of the act was good but
the comedy was not Probst with his
whistling act is another of the hold
overs and he is good. His limitations
are very lfelike and the Illustrations
of the birds which he introduces are
also good Ziska and King (Mr.. Freeze
and Mr.. Froze) have a comedy magic
act that is rather good. The bill this
week is more than usually commenda-

SAN BERNARDINO, July 2.-News
has been brought to this city of min
ing accident in the Golden Key mining
shaft in the Calico district by which
four miners narrowly escaped death
from an accidental blast which impris-
oned them in a cross tunnel.
Four miners were working near the
bottom of the shaft when the explosion
suddenly occurred. There was no one
at the top except the water boy, named
Simmonds. After listening for some
time he finally lowered himself to the
bottom of the shaft by means of the
rope, the ladder having been blown
away. At the bottom he could hear
nothing of the men, so went after help.
]. L. Putnam and his partner, John
Brady, responded, and for six hours
worked in the bottom of the shaft dig
ging the men out of the tunnel. The
men were unconscious from lack of air.
They, however, received no injuries
from the blast, as they had taken
refuge some distance in'the tunnel. The
entrance to the tunnel was blocked by
debris from the explosion, thus cutting
off the air supply.
After a few hours the men recovered
and said they were testing some fuse
and by mistake lighted the one in the
blast. They discovered the mistake be-
fore the explosion, but the fire was
then so close to the dynamite they
dared not attempt to extinguish it, so
took refuge in the tunnel

covered under the doctors care and
were able to return home.

at Ocean Park and Medic streets,

self vigorously. The movement broke
his chair and he fell heavily to the
floor, throwing his right shoulder out
of place.
The proposition to construct a tun-
mel from the beach to the intersection
of First street and Pine avenue, the
franchise for which has been adVer-
tised for sale, has awakened interest
IN unexpected quarters. It is now re-
ported that there will be two or more
bidders. The identity of the newly in
terested parties is as yet a secret, but
it is said that they are from Los An
geles and that, if successful in secur-
ditional privilege of extending the tun-
mel to Sixth street.

BIDS AGAINST COMMITTEE

Desired for Convention
Hall

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, July 2.-John w. Nc
Cauley of Al Terrace drive has made
an offer of approximately $4,000 for the
six acres of the Carmelita estate de-
sired by the board of trade committee
as a site for a convention hall This
is the tract for which the committee
has been fighting in the courts and
which the latest decision of the courts
appeared to bring within reach of the
committee. The McCauley bid has
been approved by Executor Winch,
which means that if the committee gets
the property it must raise the bid by
at least 10 per cent. 1t had been hoped
that no one would enter the bidding
for this land in view of the public pur-
pose for which it is wanted and the
difficulty experienced in raising the
money needed by voluntary contribu-
tions. If Mr.. McCauley insists on his
bid the convention hall committee will
now be obliged to raise nearly $4,000
to effect a purchase. When Mr.. Nc

Bessie and l were on the beach In a

ship that had been wrecked some
where along the coast Not a boat
was to. be seen, as we looked out at
sea, only a black speck which might
have been a cask or bit Of wood, and
which the great waves were bringing
quickly to land. On came the speck
till one wave larger than the rest laid
it gently at Bessie's feet. Well, the
speck turned out to be wooden chest.
We dragged it up the beach and open
ed 1t, and what do you think was in
side? You might have guessed a hun
dred guesses and never tell what it
was. 1t was neither gold nor silver, nor
precious stones All the same it was

baby girl, with bright, blue eyes and
smile on it's pretty little mouth
Bring it some milk" cried I, and In
a few moments there were dozen
jugs of milk ready for the baby, and
the children brought it sweets, apples
and cakes. Bless you, never before
was such a fuss made over a baby.
There was little bag of gold in the
chest, but nothing to show who the
little baby was. So Bessie and l took
her home and took care of her and
we called her Dorothy, for that, we
we're told, means gift from over the
