Amateurs Supply the Stars

NX TERE it not for the friendly Of
wv fees of the amateur stage the
theater of today would be
without some of its most glittering
lumnaries A cursory survey of the
condition in life of some of the best
known actors and actresses before they
saw the glare of the professional foot
lights shows that many OF them were
in occupations leagues removed from
the stage. They have reached the pro-
fessional theater through the amateur
stage.
Mrs. James Brown Potter, who has
acted so successfully with Kyrle Bel
lew is a case exactly to the point.
She was the rage Of London drawing
rooms before she became professional
actress and she came into the profess

Dillon In a Tom Show"

Thaw. White Drama Now Ready

- RDINARILY it is soon enough to
I describe a play when it is per-
formed, but this one is so newsy
that the latent spirit of a reporter flares
up. and l can't help telling that Victor
Hugo is the dram1tist of the killing of
Stanford White by Harry Thaw. The
dead Frenchman may not know though.
that his "Roi d'Amuse"-or. as Booth
called 1t, THE Fools Revenge"-has
been made over hastily in Beauty and
Beast" In the original drama a dis
solute Italian duke had his hirelings
bring young girl to a midnight feast
to celebrate her destruction. She was
the daughter OF his court jester, who
tried in vain to rescue her, and Booth
made an unforL stable showing of the
fathers agonies. That scene as para
phrased in Beauty and Beast" is
located in Stanford Whites studio, the
girl is Evelyn .Nesbitt before she be-
came Mrs. Thaw, and it is Harry ThaW,
here represented as wild young man
tanned by love of Evelyn who endeavors
to save her from White. Hugo's ma
terial is utilized with less alteration
than you would suppose to fit it to the
case of White and the Thaws, whose
names are not used. but who need no
labels for identification.
Within ten days after the tragedy in
Madison Square garden this offhand
dramatization is ready to be put into
rehearsal for production by August. or
sooner If competition Tequires quicker
work. The layout for play to disgust
some folks and delight others is full Of
promise. The banquet act is to show a
party Of New Workers at an orgy with
the rescue of the drugged girl by the
hero as a new climax. A year or so
passes and then the homicide is repro

WOMAN's WAYS

The young man kissed the maiden fair,
And she did not resist,
Nor any protest offer as
she twice-and thrlce-was kissed.
But when he smacked her once again
With a resoupding pop.
She stamped her pretty foot and cried,
Don l." STOP
The young man was chagrined to be
50 frigidly repelled:
He mutely drew his head away
And freed the hand he held.
Deep silence reigned-one might have
heard
tiny haicnin drop
Until at last the maiden lisped,
Don't stop"

THERE was precious little satisf

THERE was precious little satisfac-
tion to anyone in the Goodwin en-
gagement last week, compared to
what was hoped from it. In the first
place, it started off wrong; the play
announced was not given, doubtless
through mpossibility, but no state
ment of this fact was made to the
fashionable audience gathered at the
Mason. 1t was simply insulted and ig-
nored; the curtain rose on a tawdry
production of a play done here often
and vastly better in stock, and the
spectators were left to ascertain from
the morning papers what it was all
about.
The only surprise was that Manager
Wyatt wasn't alive enough to protect
his own clientele. But it is understood
that he was not present. Goodwin
isn't noted for consideration of his pa
irons and the insult was just about
what might have been expected from
him.
The incident, however serves to en-
phasize what the newspapers and
critics here have said time and again:
That our own stock companies are the
equal of nearly any on the road, and
that the productions they make are
from the travelling trcupes.
Lots OF self-wise doubt this till cir
cumstance such as that of last week
brings it home to them. Then they
trot around to the stock theaters with
a half apologetic air and enjoy really
excellent presentations of fine plays
done in delightful fashion by intel
ligent, considerable and thorough artists,
and at half the ( ices of the strangers,
and awake to a NV realization of what
Los Angeles really can do.
That the stock companies both musi-
cal and dramatic, are making good
here, one has but to glimpse into the
house % prove. Almost without eXcep-
tion they are doing a tremendous busi-
ness. Even in cooler weather the the
aters could scarcely hold more people.
The dramatic houses are Offering good
shows and are pleasing their clientele,
All the companies are continually
strengthening up their forces, and this
is a good sign.
The Mason players will be at home
again this week, and the Hotchkiss
will make = strong bill by producing
for the fl time on any stage their
new musical comedy-the first premier
of this sort that Los Angeles has had.
Its progress will be awaited with great
interest.
Two theaters are now to bid for favor
with literary matinees." The Mestay-
er- Crawey combination has moved to
the Belasco. while the Burbank will
have one of its own. While it looks
like a surfeit of literary" drama, yet
maybe we can swallow 1t without in
digestion. 1t is to be hoped so, but it is
pretty heavy diet all at once. One sea-
son at time would have been better.

County School Superintendent N

annual report, which shows the num-
Der of children of school age to be
II, 024 as compared with II, 003 foI
last year. There were fewer eligible
school children not enrolled than in
former years, showing that school
boards are enforcing the compulsory
school law. The total amount received
for school purposes in this county was
1855, S12. SO Of which $11S, 1888. SO was
paid out in teachers salaries. About
SIS, 900 was used in redemption of
school bonds. There was maintained
an average of 7.9 months of school.
There was a decided falling off in the
number of male teachers, and with 40
more female pedagogues than in 1905.
There were 1886 teachres as compared
with 297 last year. The average

ings and 1863 districts, maintaining
263 rooms. There are 10 high schools
