Racing Comedy at Elscher's

The new bill at Fischer's is an in
teresting racing comedy, winning A
Race" from the pen of Fred L. Crit
fiths, who has been supplying Fischer's
company with comedies for the past
thirty-eigbt weeks. This new piece is
full Of funny hits upon the races, ana
complexities love affairs and the sport
ing mania in highly ludicrous man
ner. The plot makes everyone win
their bet-even the young fellow whose
horse loses. and the dashing widow who
also has a horse entered. Cupid wins
over all obstacles and the race is set
tied satisfactorily to all parties. In the
cast are seen Misses Annie Baumann,
Nellie Montgomery and Messrs. Billy
Onslow, Tracy McDermott, Nick

OFFICERS TIME
FLYING AUTO|STS
LOS ANGELES MEN SPOTTED
2 IN PASADENA
Warrant Also Is Said to Have Been
Issued for Former Mayor Carter
Harrison on a Charge
Of Speeding

The greatest haul for exceeding the
automobile speed limit ever made by
the police of Pasadena was the result
of the timing of Policemen Coping and
Reese.
These two officers, with stop watches
over measured distance, caught the
numbers of nineteen machines which
it is alleged were greatly exceeding the
allowance of the ordinance, and war
rants were yesterday issued for the ar
rst of the owners of these.
Rumor has it that former mayor
Carter H. Harrison, who is at present
visitor in Pasadena, was an occupant
of one of these autos, but the police are
not saying a word and refuse to con-
firm or deny this statement In any way.
AS the warrants are John Doe'' ones
there is nothing about the official
register to indicate whether or not Mr..
Harrison is one Of the MN charged
with violation Of the city speed laws
Just before dusk yesterday all the
machines passing along Colorado street
between Hudson and Lake avenues
were timed. Five machines owned by
prominent Los Angeles people were
timed and found wanting, and the fol-
lowing have been notified that warrants
are issued for their arrests:
George Singers, manager of the Los
Angeles Auto Vehicle company, ma
chine No. 800, timed to be going TWEEN
ty-four miles an hour.
F. H. Johnson, 1876 Merchants Trust
building. machine No. 1864, timed to be
going twenty-eight miles an hour.
r. A. Rowan, Hellman building, ma
chine No. 1854, timed to be going twenty
four miles an hour.
T. S. Wadsworth, 319 Douglas build
ing, machine No. $3.50, timed to be going
twenty-four miles an hour.
Chauffeur Tuft, employed by Harry
Burt, machine No. 6522, timed to be
gonig twenty-four miles an hour.
Burt says that he has discharged
Tuft but will fight the case ANYWAY.

LAMBARDPS RETURN IN
81 TR0VAT0RE" PROVES
TO BE A MUSICAL TREAT

1t was royal welcome the lovers of
music extended last night to the Lam
bardi singers at the Auditorium; well
come that they will remember and take
away with them as one of the most en-
joyable Incidents Of their visit here.
And probably never before in Los
Angeles was Verdis al TroVatore"
sung as it was sung last night. "Il
Trovatore" with its heart breaking
depths of misery and unhappiness and
it's soul-raising sweetness of aria and
melody has ever been a favorite with
American audiences and last night the
fair Adaberto and the sweet voiced
DOttaVl were compelled to repeat
again and again the "Miserere," while
the gods of the balcony and gallery
those mOlders of public sentiment
fairly screamed their encores.
When the Lambardi troupe were here
scarcely more than two weeks ago they
sang I'll Trovatore," but not the "Tro-
vatore" of last night. This was an alb
breviated "Trovatore" to be sure, but 1t
contained all that is loved OF the opera.
Adaberto, the divine, as Leonora,
caused the hearts of the spectators to
sob in sympathy to her sweet voiced
misery. CampOfiore as Azucena not
only sang the score Of the wild gypsy

Notes

There is a possibility that Mary Van
Buren, will be re-engaged at the Bur
bank as leading woman. No one else Is
in sight. She is still in Los Angeles
and wants to stay through the winter.
Hale Hamilton, stage manager for
the Ferris stock company, arrived Sat
urday. His wife is Jane Oaker, lately
leading woman in 1.-THE Pit" Miss
Oaker is now in st. Louis. fighting for
her share in the millions of the late
Christian PEPPER, the tobacconist, whose
will she thinks did not do her Justice.
She is his adopted granddaughter. AT
the conclusion of the suit she will join
her husband here, and she may be
added to the Ferris organization.
The Belasco has postponed its pro-
duction of "Trip Van Wrinkle" and will
run "My Friend from India" next week.

BURLESQUE "CAMILLE"
MAKES THE HIT OF
THE ORPHEUM'S BILL

Albert Bellman and Lottie Moore fea-
ture the Orpheum bill this week with
a clever bit of acting. They present a
mock production of Camille" and give
a faithful mimicry of husband and wife
when the husband comes home drunk,
with all it's attendant unhappiness In
thirty seconds they have on another
makeup and are the old man and wife
celebrating their fiftieth wedding ami
versary. They are good actors and a
versatile couple, for, in addition to their
fine bit of acting, they do dancing
and singing stunt which is encored
time and time again.
Something new and unique is Cole
Frances Bower, the girl with the dou-
BILE voice. She first sings as a soprano
and only one or two tones give prom
Use of the low, heavy voice which she
exercises later to such good advantage
that it would be supposed il she could
not be seen that it was that of a man
with rich baritone or even a bass.
The Kochly brothers, acrobats, con-
fine themselves almost entirely to feats
of strength. The act is pleasant as the
strong man Yields his strength SO cas-
lily that there is none of that nerve
racking tension among the audience
which is inspired by the usual aero
bat. They do not act for effect, but
simply do their stunts.
The -Four Lukens are on the same
order as those preceding, although they
perform entirely in the air. Two of the
men hang by their feet from a trapeze
and toss the other two men like balls
from one to the other. The men twist
and turn until it seems as if they had
learned the magic art of utilizing the
air for the same purpose as the earth.
The men that catch them seem to do
the hard work, though.
The holdovers are Miss Lima Panther
on the bounding wire, assisted by Tom
my; Charles F.. Semon, the Marrow
Feller;' the Musical Avalos and the
Dillon brothers, comedians, who sing
their own songs.
The motion pictures are better than
the average this week.
