Beer Saves Them

1--WE saw the sights Of every place
along the road" August Won Hasseln
of Brooklyn says. I'VE went over into
badger fight. but were not very much
pleased with either. When we got into
the desert 1t seemed as though we were
all going to be roasted but st. Louis
beer saved the day and our lives. for we
had some of IL that had been near ice
We are all delighted with Los Angeles
and the reception we got at the sta
tion this afternoon was fine. The wo-
men In the party were all enthusiastic
over the flowers, and altogether we are
enjoying ourselves sufficiently to want
70 come again"
Edward Brown Of the ziyara shrine

much the same condition exists, but
if you do make good, Thursday you
can expect an audience which will be
thoroughly en- rapport with you and
the rest of the engagement is not diff
ficult.
Many times I have had the ex-
perience that along in the middle of
the week the audience will repeat my
lines few words in advance of me,
and then. it is easy to please.
"a rema rkable state of affairs exists
in vaudeville. Less professional jeal-
ousy is .fourd among variety players
than on the Legitimate stage. Dramat-
ic people usually are the worst what
you call knockers on the face of the
earth. They rip one to shreds in their
conversation with each other and then
come and tell one how much they en-
joyed the performance.
This proposition of having a large
act for the first week of the engage
ment is not all it might be. 1 may
remain in Los Angeles three weeks
and each week 1 will have to put on
big new bill l am my own man
ager and I stage all my own produc-
tions. Next week 1 shall put on The
Japanese Wife, and if I stay three
weeks l will give 'Billys First Love-
which L played in Los Angeles two
seasons ago.
Graduates From Variety
II was playing in stock in Brooklyn
when 1 first went into variety. In a
dull week Mr.. Belasco asked me why
1 did not try week Of vaudeville.
I was willing to, so L put on little
Japanese sketch. After the Monday
night performance l received offers for
the rest of the season and since that
time I have been booked continuously
with anything that l chose to produce.
Vaudeville illustrates an evolution.
When you think of all the present
day stars who have graduated from
the variety it shows conclusively that
it is working around in a circle. The
four Cohans are a product of Vaude-
vile, May Irwin is another, Cissie
LOTUS is another, Peter Daley, Mont
gomery and Stone are other illustra-
tions
Thus dramatic stars are evolved
from vaudeville and when the legiti-
mate season is slow the stars go back
to the variety. There is one advan-
tage about vaudeville. No question is
asked about the salary. You can al
most write your own contract, so long
as you can deliver the goods.
For myself prefer vaudeville, for
the audiences are appreciative, more
So perhaps, than are the audiences
which see regular drama"

Young Woman Who Scored Success in Miniature
Production of Carmen Tells How She Was
Persuaded to Go Into Vaudeville
MISS VALERIE BERGERE

"The entrance of dramatic people
into vaudeville has done much to raise
the standard and to dignity it in the
eyes of the theater going public" said
Valerie Bergere, who is playing Car
men" reduced to a thirty-minute
sketch at the Orpheum this week.
1.-THE vaudeville of ten years ago was
very different proposition than it is
now. At that time it would not have
been possible for me to have secured a
booking for any such play as Car
men," The variety which is given now
at the cheaper houses Is on about the
same level as the vaudeville of that
period.
"Then as the legitimate actors and
actresses began to invade the vaude-
Vile field the plane gradually arose un-
til at the present time there is really
very little distinction between vaude-
vile and the dramatic stage so far
as people are concerned.
"The production which I present on
my return to Los Angeles this week Is
not intended to be dramatization of
Carmen the opera. The music would
be essential to such a production. My
sketch is simply written around the
most striking scene of the opera, and is
intended to show the very spirit Of
Carmen
Gave Him Hard Job
at is as hard for me to open a weeks
engagement at a new city on Monday
night as if I had an absolutely new
production. The audience is in the po-
sition of the theatrical manager of
which Mr.. Stevens tells in his act this
week. The story is as follows: was
in San Francisco some years ago look
ing for a position as comedian. 1 went
to the office of a manager named
Schwartz. He was German and had
the reputation of being one of the
meanest of old scoundrels. AS I entered
his office he never looked up but con-
tinued his writing. I said: Good
morning, Mr.. Schwartz" He grunted.
but said nothing. I said again: Good
morning. Mr.. Schwartz" He turned
around and said gruffiy, "Vot iss it you
want?" 1 told him l wanted a job as
comedian. $50 you are comedian, are
you?" 1 told him I was. He wrinkled
up his face most impressively and said,
loudly and aggressively: "Well, make
me laugh"
Tells of Stage Difficulties
"That is the position of the audience
on Monday nights" continued Miss
Bergere. "You must show them that
you have the goods as they say on the
stage, or you will get a chilly recep-
tion. On Tuesday and "Wednesday

SHIPPERS SAY
RATES UNJUST
MERCHANTS DISSATISFIED
WITH ARRANGEMENT
Los Angeles Dealers Assert That
Steamship Company Gives San
Francisco Man Better
End of Tariff

From the stand that is being taken
Pacific Coast Steamship company
business men say 1t is not likely that
the ships of the latter company will
be doing much business from San
Pedro in the future. The ship Cura-
Goa will probably take 100 tons Of
freight when 1t sails from San Pedro
to Mexico, but the merchants and job
bers are complaining that the rates are
so high that they cannot afford to ship
their goods.
The steamship company, the mer-
chants assert, is charging as high a
rate for business from San Pedro as
from San Francisco, although the
former is 500 miles nearer Mexico and
the trip is a day shorter.
Nor is this all of the grounds that the
jobbers have to complain of. The rail-
roads demand a freight of from 10 TO
Is cents a hundred pounds for hauling
goods between Los Angeles and San
Pedro.
1t is said that the steamship COM
pany is practically controlled by San
Francisco merchants and that the rail-
roads are also favoring them.
The chances for establishing an in
dependent line between San Pedro and
Mexico were never better than now
and many local men are considering
the proposition seriously.
They say they have never before real
lied the amount of business that has
been done by San Francisco merchants
with Mexico but they now see that
they have the advantage over the
northern merchants on account of be-
ing so much nearer to the ports with
which thew desire to trade.

II never put poison in my husbands
food. If there was rat poison in his
meat I did not put It there. He may
have done It himself"
This was the statement made by Mrs.
Lulu Eppes of 1917 Birch street, held in
the city Jail on suspicion of attempting
to poison her husband, Lewis Eppes.
The negro woman was arrested Mon
day night by Patrolman Stevens. on in
formation given by her husband.
A quantity Of food that Eppes says
his wife prepared for him was given
to the city chemist for analysis and was
found to contain sufficient arsenic to
kill a dozen men,
The woman, who confesses to having
married five men, talked freely of the
happenings at the Eppes home Sunday
ninght.
Says He Beat Her
my husband beat me something
awful" said the negress. HE struck
me on the face with a glass pitcher and
hit me on the breast. 1 don't know
how it happened but 1 guess he was
angry about money matters. 1 work
out. but don't give him all the money
I earn.
"I did not get his supper Sunday
night. His sister, Miss Mary Patilo,
got it for him, and If there was poison
in it, did not put 1t there.
Monday l went to a doctors office
to have my head fixed up. l intended
to make a complaint against my hus-
band for battery when they arrested
me-

Will Seek Divorce
But 1 would not try to kill a man to
get rid of him. I got a divorce from
two husbands and will get divorce
from Eppes after l get out of this
place
When asked about the story that she
had been previously married to four
men who died mysteriously, Mrs. Eppes
said emphatically: TT is a lie, that
ever got rid of my other husbands.
I married William Surcey back in Texas
when I was a girl. He died from
broken leg.
Then 1 married George Franklin.
He shot himself accidentally. The next
husband was John Van Duzen. I got
a divorce from him. Jim Williams was
a bad man and | divorced him. / guess
Eppes Version
Lewis Eppes says that his wife made
an attempt to poison him a year ago.
A few weeks after this alleged attempt
to poison him, Eppes says his wife tried
to set his house on fire and burn him
alive.
81 was sick in bed at the time. The
house caught fire and the whole build
inc seeroed TO he blazing when I
awoke," he said my wife did not
arouse me and stood on the outside
while I was carried out. The firemen
thought that she set the fire, but there
was no proof"
Mrs. Eppes is positive in her asser-
ton that her husband bought guam
tity of rough on rats" some time ago.
No formal charge has been preferred
against Mrs. Eppes so far, but the
woman is being closely watched and
her past record will be looked up.
