DESIRES LAW ENACTED
POLICE CHIEFS VIEWS ON SELL
ING LIQUOR TO MINORS.

Commissioner West has received COM
muncation from Maj. Sylvester, chief OF
police, recommending that a law be enacted
for the purpose of Furnishing persons for
furnishing liquor to minors. During the
past few weeks the police have had to care
for several intoxicated boys. but in no case
were they able to bring any person to the
bar of justice. In each case the police
made an investigation. but the facts were
such that they were unable to bring about
any arrests. In his communication to Com
missioner West Maj. Sylvester says:
There is provision in the law against the
selling of intoxicating liquors to minors,
but despite the existence of such. the at
tention of the police is called to cases of
boys under the influence of drink. Investi-
cation of these cases has convinced those
charged with the duty that they do not
result from purchases made by minors, but
that intoxicants are procured by persons of
lawful age at the solicitation and for the
use of those who are forbidden sales under
the law. In one instance several boys had
robbed a place where liquors were sold in
order to procure drink. The youths were
arrested taken to the Juvenile Court, repri-
manded and placed ON probation
Enough Is known to convince me that
there are those so degraded that they Will
purchase liquor for minors use, and / re-
spectfully recommend that the existing law
be so amended to make ii a punishable
offense for any person to buy, purchase in
any manner or procure intoxicating liquors
for the use of any other person under
twenty-one years of age. except in case of
illness or injury. and then such to be fur

;, IN connection with the question involved
In the communication, 1t is stated there is
a law which prohibits minors from entering
saloons unless attended by parent or guar
dian, and saloon men complain that they
are not always able to keep them out. Not
long ago several arrests were made in such
case. the children having annoyed the pro-
prietor of a saloon by running through his
place OF business but, it is stated, the
children were exonerated, the court re-
marking that the saloon was a public place
and that persons had right to enter it.
1t is true that liquor was sold to minors
without any questions being asked several
years ago." policeman remarked to a
Star reporter but the rigid enforcement of
the law and a general improvement In the
character of men in the liquor business has
wrought great change. While it Is true
that the law against selling to minors is
not openly violated as 1t was a number of

Relasco Theater.

A pretty human bit of a play is Edward
Peple's 1.-THE Prince Chap" presented at
the Belasco Theater last night, with Cyril
Scott in the title role Cool breezes are re-
freshing after siege of steam heat and
water quenches the thirst far better than
wine. So, too the prince Chap" with its
simplicity and Its naturalness, its CLEANS
of sunshine and hint of tears, seemed to
satisfy the sympathetic audience to a re-
markable degree.
AS William Peyton, the Prince Chap,
Cyril Scott does the best work of his ca
reer This Prince Chap Is large hearted
gentleman. with the power of unselfish love
q man to cast an ideal aside and build an
other in its place.
To Frank Lamb, who played the part of
Marcus Runion. the Prince Chaps man, is
due credit for an excellent bit of character
work Marcus is short on humor, and
thereby becomes entirely humorous.
Clauda-child, girl and woman-was good
at the age of five won the heart of the
Prince Chap. and the hearts OF those who
were there to see. Edith Speare as Clau-
dia at the age of eight retained and in
creased the affection previously bestowed.
and Ethel Clifton as Claudia at the age
of eighteen made the Prince Chap and the
audience fall in love with her all over
again. Claudia number one and Claudia
number two are remarkable child actresses.
and Claudia number three grows UNI to
the mark.
Among others in the cast who contributed
materially to the success of the play are
Cecil de Mile as the Earl of Huntington
Mary Eeough as Phoebe Fuckers, and Con-
stance Adams as Alice Traverse.

Columbia Theater.

The performance of Mrs. I4effingWelr S
Boots" the new Augustus Thomas comedy,
provided delightful entertainment at the
Columbia Theater last evening. In this
play Mr.. Thomas has supplied an abund-
ance OF amusing complications, farcical
situations and deal Of clever dialogue In
ADDITION he has introduced a somewhat SCI
ent1hc theme calculated to command more
serious consideration than Is ordinarily be-
slowed on farcical entertainment
The Jealousy of two husbands who have
2retty young wives furnishes material FOR
~he comedy elements of the play while the
more serious interest reyolves around Rich
ard Ainslee, whose moral responsibility 1t
is discovered, has been severely impaired
by an injury to his head received during his
college days. Ainslee involves his friends
and relatives by forging their names to
notes and checks, and besides gets Waiter
Corbin, an old college mate. into grave trou-
BILE by placing Mrs. LeffingwelPs boots on
Corbin's fire escape at a summer resort,
hotel. By means of this practical joke
Ainslee is enabled to extort money from the
parties concerned. The episode also causes
the breaking Of the engagement between
Corbin and Mabel Ainslee Mrs. Letting
well and Corbin promise the lady's husband
never to meet again, but they are acct
dentally thrown together at a dinner party
given by a mutual friend. A severe biz
card keeps away all the other guests and
confines the small party to the house for
the night, when many interesting Incidents
occur. Ainslee is caught breaking into the
house. The old physician succeeds In re-
storing the young man to his right senses
by removing the pressure from the base OF
his brain by the practice Of osteopathy. Ex-
plantations ensue and all ends happily
The cast Is one of uniform excellence.
Vincent Serrano gave distinctly creditabie
Characterization of the role of Richard
Ainslee and William Courtenay won nota-
BILE favor as the manly Walter Corbin.
Jessie Busley and Harry Lillford created
much amusement in their clever portrayals
of character parts. Henry Harmon, as
Doctor Rumsey; Dorothy Hammond, as
Mrs Bonner; Grace Heyer, as Mrs. Letting
well, and Jane Laurel, as Mabel Ainslee, all
gave highly capable performances. The
piece Is splendidly mounted.

Last nights performance OF Twelfth

the possibilities OF the modern school Of
Shakespeare as could be desired. II the
Shakespearean tragedies lend themselves to
austere and even barren stage equipment.

theatric hnery. A play like Twelfth Night.
which was the first of several productions
to be made by the Sothern-M arlowe COM
pany this week, has to do with merry folk.
who seek diversion each according to his
own fancy. Sir Toby Belch In his cakes
and ale, Maria In mischief. Malvolio In self
esteem, Viola In affectionate devotion, and
SO on throughout the cast And where such
butterflies exist there should be as rich
and luxuriant a garden as a stage dec
orator can devise. The scenery employed
Tor tbs production Is all that fancy could
suggest or taste desire. II the series of
performances to be given by this company
can be measured by that of Twelfth
Night the engagement will be a source of
great satisfaction to varied contingent
OF theatergoers.
One of the greatest elements of pleasure
N last nights performance lay In the
smooth and weli-rounded quality Of the en-
tire production. That Mr. Sothern gave a
discreet, judicious and yet spirited i'm
personation of Malvolio goes without say
ing. Mr.. Sothern has come to be recog-
nized and received as one of our re-
liable players. There may be differ
ences from his views as to correct
conception, but there is no question of
his efficiency in conveying his artistic
intentions. Miss Marlowe is no less depend
able AS Viola she makes a sturdy, self
reliant and yet womanly figure In the
scene. But her greatest charm lies In her
vocal expression. 1t is doubtful Ii the
speech which opens "She never told her
love-" was ever more beautifully read than
Miss Marlowe read 1t last night But so
often have Shakespearean companies pre-
sented one or two characters of merit and
left the remainder to grope In the shadows
of ooleful insufhciency that the real oc-
scasfon for remark lies in the subordinate
interpretations. which raise the general per-
Torrance to so high an average. Rowland
Buckstones Sir Toby was a gem of low
comedy, and yet in no wise outshone the
genial effu1gence of Mr.. Malcolm Bradley's
Sir Andrew. Mr.. Fred Eric as Sebastian
bore the necessary resemblance to the fem
mime star In addition to acting with excel
lent effect. A noteworthy feature of this
presentation of Twelfth Night" was the
music 1t is seldom that the songs and
choruses of Shakespearean play are done
with degree OF merit which entities them
to be considered other than unwelcome in
terruptions. Mr.. Frank Reicher made the
part of Feste, the clown, most agreeable
and at the same time a highly important
parsonage. His singing was good and his
foolery jocund without being obtrusive. A
highly appreciative audience was in attend
ance. Tonight Romeo and Juliet" will be
presented.
