ACTRESS GETS FIRST
OF EDISON BATTERIES

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-How the glow
of an actress smile had melted the armor
of aloofness In which genius had incased
itself was shown Sunday when Miss
Eleanor Robson fitted about Manhattan
in an auto that was noiseless, better still,
smokeless, and best of all, smell-less. The
auto was equipped with new electric
storage batteries, which Thomas A. Edi-
son had given to her ahead of the time
for putting the invention on the market.
Three weeks ago Edison announced he
had perfected a storage battery destined
to make a big change in the auto indus
trty. Miss Robson read the announce
ment and perceived a way of escape from
the odors of gasoline. She knew it
would be useless to write Edison, so 4 n
decided to go personally to Llewellyn
Park, out in the Oranges, and beard the
wizard In his lair. Ada Dwyer went
with her
The result of the quest was success. for
the wizard yielded almost without
struggle to the wishes OF the actress and
set of the new batteries-this several
weeks before it was possible anyone
should have an opportunity to purchase
a set. They arrived at the Library
theater two days ago and We're fitted 20
her auto In time to enable her to be-
come soundless speeder Sunday.
Edison says the new battery Is so per
cent lighter than the old, at least 500 per
cent more durable and has capacity al
most 100 per cent In excess of the ia
miliar types Of accumulator, while Its
lasting qualities are enormous

it was only from the gallery and not
from the main house she continued, but
under such embarrassment that the
latter part of her act was not SO good.
There were several incidents at the
Orpheum last evening. One of the
Cooper brothers in the Empire City
quartet, a holdover, was even more
eXuberant than usual and he slipped
and fell, almost tearing the scenery
down, but from his usual stock of
humor he said something funny and
original and the thing passed off as
joke.
Lee White, as a singer of good songs,
has good voice and she used it to
telling advantage last evening when
she picked out a certain man in the
audience and sang one of her love
songs to him and when the audience,
just beginning to see the point, clapped
again and again. she sang the chorus
over and pointed her finger directly
at him.
Gus Edwards "School Boys and
Girls" in a singing and dancing act
entitled, Primary No. 49," made their
first appearance in Los Angeles last
evening and made a great hit. They
were called out again and again to
dance. They are supposed to be in
school and each pupil recites his les

ACCEPT EIGHT NEW SCHOOLS
Crowded Condition of Public Educa-
tlonal Institutions Will Soon
Be Relieved

At a meeting of the board of edu-
cation held last night eight new schools
were accepted as being completed and
almost ready for occupancy. Those
passed on are the Seventh street, Fifty
fourth avenue, Euclid avenue, Utah
street, Second street, Cornwell street
Fifty-second street and the Main
street schools. The Cornwell and Fiji
ty-fourth avenue schools are already
being occupied and the Utah street,
the Second street. the Seventh street
and the Euclid avenue schools will be
ready by Monday. The others, and in
addition, the Washington street school.
will be ready for use by December 1.
The work on the buildings is all
completed, but the finishing has been
retarded by tine failure of the con-
tractors TO install seats This work is
rapidly progressing and II is hoped by
the board that by the first of the
month most of the school buildings
will be completed and occupied.

"THE COLLEGE WIDOW"
0LD-TIME FAVORITE,
PLEASES ON RETURN

"The College Widow" which was pre-
sented at the Mason last night, was
here a year ago, and extended com
ment on it as a play is therefore hardly
necessary now. 1t has some good points
and some weak ones; fortunately the
good ones predominant. 1t makes
especial appeal to the college age of
man or woman, and all boys or girls
VINO are now in the higher institutes of
learning, or their elders, who have
pleasure in looking back on their dear
days at their alma mater will find il
reminiscent of jolly things.
That well known institution, the col
lege widow herself, is gently satirized
and the bumptious lads who flicker
about her flame as so many moths NAV
learn a lesson from the picture of her
as presented in the perspective of the
stage-if they will.
The play is a healthy sort, if rather
innocuous, not to say vacuous at times;
it is scarcely pabulum for full grown
ups, yet it is harmless and it can be
made to afford a deal of fun if not
taken too seriously. 1t certainly con-
tains number of excellent charac-
terizations, not always truly drawn.
but sufficiently veracious to serve as
types. and it is atmospheric of the COL
lege and the college town to marked
degree.
Robert Kelly was the halfback to
the very limit, and the final scene be-
tween him and his father, taken by
George S. Trimble, was the leading
feature of the last act and got hearty
applause.
The third act was immense, and to
college enthusiast was the genuine
article, and reused much excitement
among the students filling the gallery,
as they cheered repeatedly with various
"yells."
A clever characterization of green
country boy was taken by Alan Brooks
The sudden transition reminded a
great many old students present of
their own experiences years ago. The
widow was well taken by Louise Rut-
ter, she having beauty as we'll as
fascination. The real hit, however, was
Fora Virgins by Patty Allison, por-
traying the waitress with her unique
get-up and her laughable expression
The athletic girl. Bessie Toner, gave
a strenuous exhibition of an up-to-
date masculine type. She was frisky
and full of fun from start to finish. The
chaperon, Miss Estelle Dale, was good
and would be very popular kind for
real life.

HUNDRED TREAD HOT SANDS
Al MaIaikah Temple of Mystic Shrine
Does Things to Many Cam
ddates

Al Malaikah temple of the Shriners
held high jinks last night at Morley's
skating rink on Grand avenue, about
1900 being present.
Leo Youngworth. assistant rabbi of
the temple, had charge of the affair
which was one of the most elaborate
ever held in Los Angeles.
There were about 400 visiting Shrin-
ers present. One great feature was
the Initiation of 100 candidates into the
mystic realms. A banquet was also
served which added much to the en-
joyment of the occasion and lent sus-
tanning qualities for the skating which
continued until the wee small hours Of
the morning.
The temple now has membership Of
about 1000, scattered nearly all over
Southern California, and Is one of the
liveliest temples in the United States.

Chopin GIVEN
ITS INAUGURAL
RENDERED BY LAMBARDl CON-
PANY FOR FIRST TIME
Americas Premier Of opera at the
Auditorium Last Nlght-Never
Destined to BE Popular, but
Interesting as Novelty

The opera "Chopin" as rendered for
the first time In the United States by
the Lambardl Opera company at the
Auditorium last night fell fiat. With
melodic motives wrought from the
greatest Chopin themes, with a splen-
did music setting by Giacomo Orefice
and superb scenery to bring out the
ideals, the presentation failed miser-
ably because of the bad selection Of
principals or, rather the selection of
principals who would shine to better
advantage in the chorus.
IT was not q crowded house that
greeted the Lambardi aggregation.
There was no enthusiasm in front of
the stage; less behind the footlights.
This is said with regret; 1t is not
often that Los Angeles has the honor
of witnessing the inaugural of any
thing on a stage, and still more seldom
does it see the first production of an
opera in America. 1t would be a great
pleasure to acclaim this one were truth
permitting. But while the material
was there the artists were not; there
was, naturally, failure in the round
ing out of the production, and disap-
pointment to the audience, which lost
interest before the end came.
The story of the opera is supposed
to tell of incidents in the life of Cho-
pin, the great Frencn composer, ana
especially of his love affairs, which
were not wise but many. 1t has already
been outlined in The Herald. 1t is not
a pleasing. story and does not read any
better in music than 1t does In prose.
Yet the opera contains some fine music
and in thoroughly competent hands
ought to be effective. 1t, never will be
popular; neither theme nor score will
permit this. 1t Is more Of curiosity
than a delight; while its production
marks an era in Los Angeles musical
history, it is because of its novelty
rather than of the worth of the Offering
or it's intrinsic beauty.
Orelli he of the wobbly tenor, had
the Chopin role, and he was as bad as
ever. This man could sing, perhaps,
an he would, but he doesn't. By no
stretch of the imagination can he be
called worthy of depicting the master
of mournful music. Antola, Canietti
and Giorgi were better; the first less
so than the others. Canetti has basso
that delights and he knowns how to
use it, while Antola is ever good.
Nunez was the only other principal,
and she was only fair.
The chorus-oh, what's the use? The
ochestra was not as familiar with the
score as 1t should have been.

PROMINENT MAN is BURIED
Anthony H. Heber Was Killed in Fire
Which Destroyed Goldfeld
Hotel

The funeral of Anthony H. Heber,
the we'll known business man who was
burned to death in the Goldfield fire,
was held yesterday morning from the
family residence, 1908 Bonnie Brae
street. Rev. Robert Mcintyre off1ciated
at the service, which was very simple.
Messrs. Beeman, Meserve, McPherrin,
Studer, Joliffe, Chaffee, Benton and
Holt acted as pail bearers. The in
terment was at Hollywood.
Mr.. Heber, who was 81 years of age
at the time of his sudden death. was
one OF the prominent men of business
in California. After q long and sue
cessful career in the eastern states Mr.
Heber became interested in the pro-
ject of reclaiming the Colorado desert
with the waters of the Colorado river,
what is now known as the Imperial
valley. The California Development
company was organized by him In 1896.
He acted as president of the company
several years and later Interested
George Chaffee in the project, who
became the president. Four years ago
Mr.. Chaffey sold out his interests and
Mr.. Heber took the lead.
During the recent overflow of the
Colorado charges of mismanagement
were made against Mr.. Heber. but in
this he was exonerated by the Southern
Pacific, who conducted an investiga-
ton of the affair. 1t was further de-
cided that Mr.. Heber was the man to
reorganize the company and place the
affairs on a sure footing after the
Colorado river was harnessed.
Mr.. Heber recently secured valu-
able mining property at Goldfield and
it was while there attending to these
interests that he met his sudden
death. He was accompanied by his
son Ernest, who escaped the fire.
Mr.. Heber leaves a wife and six
children, Earl and Ernese twins, Alice,
Jessie, Bernice and Harry.

HOPES FOR LEGISLATION

r. T. Hale, president of the Anti
Faker society, claims to be a genuine
spiritualist, but is fighting hard against
all fake propositions arising within its
ranks. He said last night that he
had been welding the cudgel against
takers as president of the Anti-Faker
society for about three months and
had been successful in getting the
promise of state legislative action to
weed out the spiritulistic takers and
to virtually get rid of them.
His idea is to have laws passed In
this state similar to those in other
states to prevent the impostors obtain
ing licenses to conduct their nefarious
practices.

Peoples Theater

The Conlon-Hallett Musical Comedy
company should have opened their
first week at the Peoples theater with
that jolly comedy which they presented
and the public would have flocked to
see them. "Oh Uncle" is a farsical take
off on my Uncle from JAPAN" ar
ranged by Harry Conlon. The Wheeler
sisters have a new song and dance en-
titled "Your Black Eva" Yarrick and
Lalonda in a female impersonating act
display marked talent. Al. Hallett and
Harry Conlon give a comedian stunt
full Of ginger. Ethel Howe as Mrs.
Riley, the owner of a fashionable
boarding house, is quite clever. The
chorus is we'll trained.

New Faces at Flscher's Make Good

Last night witnessed a good per-
being Fred L. Crifflths' "The Gay
Masqueraders." 1t introduced Tracy
McDermott, the new leading man, who
made a hit, both with his acting and
singing. Nick Cogley made his bow
as a comedian and pleased. Billy On
slow sustained most of the burden of
the piece and kept things moving. Miss
Annie Baumann looked charming and
acted likewise, and sang in excellent
voice. Miss Nellie Montgomery's song
and spirited acting captured the
audiences. The chorus numbers are full
of that pleasing and catchy spirit that
wins many encores. The vaudeville is
also good.

The three sisters Herzog- Camaras
