MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Benefit at Auditorium

Simpson auditorium was filled yester-
day afternoon with young pupils of the
California Street school. The concert
was for the benefit of the San Fran
cisco relief fund. Many tickets were
sold. The program was opened by the
orchestra, after which Miss Catherine
Bridge sang "a sweet solo.
The hit of the afternoon was Leo
Domke, the prodigy pianist of the De
Chauvenet Conservatory of Music. AL
though only IL years of age, little Leo
showed as much versatility in his i'm
depreciation of the French school as
he does in the German. He played zen
Route" by GODDARD Much animation
was displayed during the entire pro-
gram and the joy upon the youthful
faces of the performers was sublime
expression of the good work they were

MARS MESSAGE
IS OPL|F TING
REMARKABLE COMEDY MAKES
MANKIND BETTER
Wives Should Take Their Husbands
There and Mothers Their Sons.
A Sermon In the Gulse
of Play

"A Message from Mars" is a mes
sage, purely, solely and only a mes
sage.
Another "Everyman" given forth in
the guise of comedy.
A warming to man to think more of
his fellow and less of himself.
There is little acting in "A Message
from Mars'-little is called for. In
stead there is series of pictures, all
of them with one aim in view, to show
the selfish man what mean, miser-
able altogether despicable creature
he is
1t would seem that the San Francisco
disaster was lesson enough to teach
the people of California that gener-
osity is the one great uplift of all, as
sorrow is the great leveler of all. If
that has not been sufficient-if there
is any one in all the city who has not
contributed, let him go to "a Mes
sage from Mars" and he will come
away feeling ashamed of himself.
Message From Mars" Tragedy, Too
"a Message, from Mars" is an
nounced as a comedy but there were
times when the audience looked as if
they considered it tragedy, and with
good reason, too.
If there was a man in the audience
who is in the habit of spending his
evenings in reading his newspaper to
the exclusion of his wife, he will never
do so again. Moral, take your hus-
bands to see "a Message from Mars"
The play reveals a home scene-shall
we say a common home scene where
the man of the family has declined to
move from his easy chair and his
paper on astronomy to please those
around him. He takes everything good
as his by right and in short is thor
oughly selfish. Left to his paper he
ger from Mars who comes accompanied
by enough thunder and lightning to
make him impressive. The chief aim
of the messenger is to make the man
unselfish and as a result he shows him
picture of himself shorn of all that
makes life dear to him. He awakes
from the dream a different man. He
has received the message and taken II
to heart.
David Proctor has the part of the
selfish young Englishman and gives
all that the part demands.
Elizabeth Valentine was sweet
| young girl, with pretty voice and
winsome manner. The other mem
bers of the company do little more
than walk on and off the stage, all
in an effort to impress the message.
| Go to the Mason this week. You VIII
be uplifted. You will learn what sell
fishness is and what unself1shness
should be.

POLICE WATCH LolTERERS
Residents at Maple Avenue and Sixth
Street Alarmed by Char
acters There

Residents living near the intersection
of Maple avenue and Sixth street are
alarmed by reports of supposed rob-
bers seen lurking near lumber yard in
that vicinity, and a complaint was
made to the detectives last night that
an attempt had been made to set fire
to house on the corner.
An excited woman, who refused to
give her name, told Desk Sergeant
Sparks that she was certain that her
house was entered Saturday night all
though she could not discover that any
Valuables were missing.
According to one of the detectives, the
woman kept a chest in the house con-
tanning nuggets mined by her husband
in Arizona, and also possessed valuable
Jewels. She was advised to put her
property in safe deposit vault to in
sure their safety.
Several arrests have been made dur
ing the past three days of suspicious
persons seen lettering about that To-
cality and one member of the police
force said that he did not believe that
II was merely coneocted from a
woman's excited imagination.
An officer was detailed last night 10
patrol the vicinity of Maple avenue
and Sixth street and arrest all suspi-
cious characters seen lettering there.

THREE PLAYLETS
AT THE 0RPHEUM
THIS WEEK PLEASE

There are three one-act playlets at
the Orpheum this week. OF the three,
two seem to have no particular excuse
for existence, while the third is original
and clever. Motoring is distinctly
new and the idea of satire on motor
ing Is we'll worked out. Although the
properties appertaining to the little
play were destroyed in the earthquake
at San Francisco and the piece is put
on with makeshifts, II appealed TO the
vein OF humor in the members OF the
audience last evening. The little Cos

LONG BEACH. April 9O.-Rev @. II.
Brouillette. a retired minister. living
about three miles north of this city,
had a narrow escape from perhaps
fatal injuries last night.
He had retired and was awakened
by the noise of dogs near his home.
In attempting TO drive them away a
vicious bulldog attacked him, SELLING
him by the leg The dogs teeth were
sunk deep in the flesh and the man
was pulled to the ground. At this mo-

BANKS READY TO RESUME

San Francisco banks have placed
large orders with Los Angeles firms
for stationery and rubber stamps. These
orders will all be rushed because the
banks without this material would not
be able to do business
Local banks say that they are handi-
capped by the legal holidays that Gov
ernor Pardee is declaring, but are not
complaining because they know that
the San Francisco banks that cannot
open their vaults should be protected.

called off it is said in certain quarters
that it will be set again for two or three
months later, at which time a clause
will be also voted upon asking for
bonds for street intersection work. AT
any rate the bond election is quite
likely to be postponed.
Refugees Sad Story
one of the refugees from San Fran
cisco. Capt. Charles Hartley, is tenn
porarily employed by the firm of Allin
Bros. in this city. Capt. Hartley is a
railroad engineer of wide experience
and until the San Francisco earth
quake and FIRE was enjoying a prosper
Gus business in the Bay City. on the
morning OF the earthquake he and his
wife were asleep in building on Cali
fornia street, near Monterey street.
When the shock came they were buried
beneath the falling roof. the building
having collapsed Mrs. Hartley was in
stantly killed but her husband made
his escape after desperate struggle.
His tools and personal property were
also destroyed in the fire which fol-
lowed. Hartley soon left the stricken
city and came, south. He expects to
remain here for short time and then
return to Guatemala, where his father
in-law is Jose Gonzales, q wealthy

Bond EIeetIon b Doubt

The electric and fire department bond
election called for Thursday of this
week is likely to be called off when the
city council meets tomorrow. If it is
the reason to be assigned win probably
be the fact that the day chosen is a
legal holiday according to the procla-
nation Of Governor Pardee. Some per-
sons insist that the likelihood Of the
bonding scheme being defeated viii be
the real reason, however. AT any rate
CITY Clerk Dyer has wired to Sacra-
mento asking whether May 8 will be a
legal holiday The answer TO this dis
patch has been received and simply
states that at least four days notice
will be given OF the abandonment OF
the present legal holiday plan. This
virtually means that Thursday win be
a legal holiday. A great deal OF uncer-
tainty exists as to the effect these legal
holidays are having on legal business

RICHES BREED
 BUT SIN
Son oi the Richest Man i'll the World
 imaIr> Members oi Bible Glass.

New York. Noy 22@~W What va h. drivine att What does ii all naan3 asked the pcrpleXcd members oi John ,. Rockefeller ir.'s bible class, as thcy emerged from the class session last Sunday morning at the Fifth Ave aue Baptist church. For over an hour tHc young millionaire had stood before his class, telling them how de
 moraizing it is to have wealth.
 Mr. Rockefeller, the son of the rich est man in the world, told his d"Not- ed followers that the man who has tn work for living is the happiest man of all The rich young leader s lace was unusually pale, and he spoke with a seriousness that pro- .oundly impressed his hearers
 At one period of his talk he became intensely dramatic That was when he said in half-chOking voice: T know what it means to need friends. I never had more occasion to seek the sympathy of friends than l have had
 in the last few months All the
 money in the world will not take the place of friends"
 The class members looked at MT. Rockefeller in dumb amazement. They could not help wondering if their leader was not making yelled lllusion to the troubles of the Stand ard Oil company, some of the heads of which, including the leaders fath- CT, are now under indictment. Mr. Rockefeller discussing the life of David said that the cause of that monarch's downfall was that he for got the principle when he became successful
 tIt is true" said the leader, that the best of men will sin. None of us, no matter how hard we try, go through life without committing wrong It seems impossible to lead pure lives all the time.
 "The men who are less apt to sin are those who are obliged to give strict attention to their work 1t is easy 10 do right when we are engross- ed with the problem of how to make our living But the man who has achieved immense success, the one who has accumulated fortune in easy fashion, is the man who finds it difficult to keep from doing wrong.
 "'fo you who may he envious of great wealth l would say that you are better off by not having it. Be satisfied with your small portion, whatever it may be Too much pros pcrity for an individual is bad thing It. breeds idlencss and that who has sinned trying to do better We ought not accuse him of being hypocrite. Let him try to make new man of himself. Do not ques- ton the motives of those who, having sinned, are trying to show by their 1 actions that they have turned over a 1 new leaf
 Every man needs sympathy. Let us i be ready to extend the hand to con- trite sinner Don't let us get up the blacklist of crime Sin will scar a | mans conscience That is punish- ment enough.
