THE time-worn query "why is a
cow?" is not one whit harder to
answer than some of the ques-
tions which are popping up in the the
atrical world here every day.
In local affairs there are problems
that a person with all the wisdom of
Solomon and then some could not
solve. For instance: Now that the
Harry James travesty company Is GO
ing away from here one may be per-
mitted to ask, "Why did that com
pany play most of the time to empty
seats?"
By those who went to the Mason for
farewell glance at the company dur
ing the week just past this question
was continually coming up. And no
real answer appeared.
In the first place the theater is cool
and comfortable and the seats are all
that they should be. The trouble can
not lie in that direction. The produc-
tions were well staged. each and every
one of them. The costumes of the
chorus girls were better than those
seen at the performances of many of
the travelling companies that come in
the winter.
AS for Rosemary sGlosz-there has
never been a woman on a Los Angeles
stage with so many stunning gowns.
Miss Glosz not only had gowns, but
she knew how to wear them. She is
pretty and vivaciouS and though she
had a cold most Of the time she was
here. that was not enough to mar her
performance. The fault simply did
not lie with the prima donna.
Rice and Cady. the two comedians,
are hard workers. and If they did not
always give something new they spared
no effort to please. Bobby North is
a hest in himself. One would imagine
that he was "a sufficiency." The fault
was not Mr.. North's.
Ed Gallagher, the leading man, was
to the front in some of the best stunts
done by the buresquers. One cannot
blame 1t on him.
The empty seats were there-the only
response seems to be a woman's an
swer-"Because." r.
Harry James himself has theory
on the subject and probably 1t is the
correct one.
I'm the first place." said he the other
night, this sort of show at 81 prices
doesn't appeal to the regular Mason
clientele; they are afraid of the low
rate. and fear that the show must be
cheapened to correspond. So they stay
away and we haven't their support
good many are out of town, anyhow.
"On the other hand, the people who
ike Inns variety OF entertainment are
used to 50-cent and 75-cent prices, and
while we advertise those rates they
have feared some catch as, for in
stance, that these prices were only for
the gallery. They are folks who don't
buy seats ahead but decide to go to
theater on the spur of the moment
and usually go to one nearer up town,
for the Mason is out of the transient
center. Hence we haven't pulled the
ordinary playgoers. And between the
two, the fact is. we haven't drawn
either sort That's the only way can
account for it,"
At that, it's too bad

musical comedies. in which the new
leading comedians, Billy Onslow and
Fred j. La Zone, will make their APP
pearance. They have come direct from
the east to join Fischers comedians

them as fun-makers. Miss Nellie

dashing society belle, and Miss Annie

San Francisco, Feb 23.-The Call says
today that local detectives believe they

son, q wealthy mining man, who dis

II was discovered that The body found in

that his deposit box with q local trust
company was empty, although 1t was
known to have contained large sum OF
money and other valuableS at the time or

RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED
Representatives Order Inquiry
Into Railroad Restraint of
Oil and Coal Trade.

Washington. Feb 2S.-Preceded by a
debate which indicated no hesitancy,
but rather q relish in taking action
against alleged railroad combinations,
the house agreed without opposition to-
DAY to the Tillman-Giilespte resolution
directing the interstate commerce COM
mission to make an immediate inquiry
and report regarding alleged restraints
of trade on the part of certain rail-
road in the handling Of coal and oil.
The resolution was not in the form in
which ii passed the senate, and will
go back to that body for its second ac-
ton, The debate occupied an hour and
consisted Of a succession OF speeches
in denunciation of alleged practices
and an endorsement Of the proposed
investigation.
The only note of apprehension was
from Mr.. Mann Of Illinois, who called
attention to the law which exempts
from prosecution persons who may tes-
tify in the inquiry. In this manner,
he said, guilty officials, If any such
were found, might be able to escape
punishment. It was explained that the
resolution in no way changed existing
law on this point, and the belief was
expressed that In making the inquiry
the commission would exercise disere-
tion in getting its information from
sources which would not exempt pos
sibly guilty persons.
The house devoted the remainder of
the day to minor matters and passed
several bills, among which was the ia
nous mussel shoals dam bill, which was
before the house from the president.
who returned it with suggestions from
the secretary of war as to amend
ments. The bill permits the creation
Of an immense water power on the
Tennessee river in Alabama. and has
been pending before congress for sew
eral years.

TRYING TO MAKE
STRINGENT LAWS
Final Work of the Congress of the
Various Societies at Wash
ington, D. G.
FIGURES ARE DEMANDED
PUBLICITY WOULD OBViATE
MANY EVILS.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Before finally
adjourning last night the congress on
uniform divorce laws for the several
states adopted the following resolu-
ton, which seeks TO make even more
stringent the laws pertaining to the
migratory character of divorces:
Each state should adopt statute
embodying the principle contained IN
the Massachusetts act which is as fol-
lows:
IF an inhabitant Of this common
wealth goes into another state or
county to obtain a divorce for cause
which occurred here while the parties
reside here or for a cause which would
not authorize q divorce by the laws
of this commonwealth a divorce so OBJ
tanned shall be of no force or effect
in this commonwealth.
In reporting this resolution Chair
man Smith, Of the resolutions COM
mittee, explained that its purpose was
to guard against migratory divorce
which would still obtain, providing
some state or states decline to adopt
the uniform divorce code to be pre-
pared.
A resolution was also adopted pro-
viding that fraud or collision in OBJ
tanning or attempting to obtain di-
vorces should be made statutory
crimes by the criminal code"
The report committee on resolu-
tions upon the subject of marriage
licenses and marriages was covered by
q resolution which declared that while
the congress does not regard the con-
slderatiOn of the marriage law as
within puview of the call under which
it assemblies, it desires to express its
earnest hope that some suitable effort
will be made by some other body to
secure uniform marriage laws and
especially Uniform marriage license
laws; and it would respectfully recon-
mend the matter TO the consideration
of the commissioners on uniformity OF
state laws"
1t was further recommended that
the necessity for the annual collection
and publication of statistics on di-
vorce would greatly assist him in COM
batting the divorce evil At present
but eleven states compile such stats
tics.
