the next pouting, pleading, coaxing
with her papa, the Pash@ although
the role is not a large one, lc keep
ing of Miss Kendall it hol.5 the aud
fence in such delightful moods that
the part stands out strong.
The gorgeOusness of her oriental cos
tunes and the refreshing simplicity
of the sailor suit are equally attrac-
tive. Mr.. Pitkin was a devout lover to
Serena, and used his voice to good
effect in solo number written for
him by the musical director of the
company.
The chorus comes in for good share
of praise for their vocal efforts as well
as the richness of the oriental cos
tuning. Incidental to the already good
score of the opera We're introduced
several extra numbers. among them
couple of songs by petite Nellie Mich

sung by Miss De Val. who appeared

FRENCH COMEDY
ON THIN ICE
AT BELASCO

A beautiful story, some sayings which
are even more than a little doubtful,
and an absence of sufficient action to
create more than mild excitement
such is THE Secret of Polichinelle, "
the offering of the Belasco stock COM
pany this week.
THE Secret of Polichinelle" is a
French comedy in three acts by Pierre
Wolf presented here for the first time.
In French it may be all very proper,
in English 1t is slightly dangerous.
The story hinges on the marriage law
of France making it unlawful for man
to marry without the consent of his
parents until he reaches the age of 25.
The hero, a young Frenchman, has
married a charming girl unknown TO
his mother and father and the secret
from which the play takes its name
leaks out after five years when the
father and mother are trying to force
the son into an alliance with another
girl. A boy child has been born to the
couple and this little one of four years
plays an important part in the comedy.
Although the story Is charming and
we'll told there Is little action and at
times the piece drags.
George Barnum adds another triumph
to his already long list. AS the old
French father he gives us an old man
ullltl Cit lIOiAl any VI lllo OAllNA . ehA4N
most likeable.
Miss Margaret Langham and Miss
Eugene That's LaWtOn contribute the
really charming bits to the production,
Miss Lawton as a vivaCious and i'm
petuous Frenchwoman is clever, and
Miss Langham gives a charming pic
ture of the young wife of the hero. Few
of her recent parts have suited her so
well.
Howard Scott as the Frenchman who
is friend to everyone has one of the
best parts in the comedy and he inter-
prets it with credit.
Miss Virginia Brissac as spoiled child
whose chief duty in life is to say "Oui,
mamma" to an ambitious and exact
ing mother, wore a becoming cloak in
a becoming way and her "Oui, mamma
was we'll said. Adele Harrington was
the mamma.
Louise Boyce is another of the mem
bers who gave a good Interpretation.
Joseph Gailbreath and Eugene Mockbee
are the only other men in the company.
Mr.. Galbraith is seen as the man who
made so bold as to defy the French
marriage laws.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-27

rosco. James Neill and the Oliver Mo-
rosco companies, will arrive in Los
Angeles in two weeks to assume the
stage dictatorship of the Burbank
theater stock company. Aside from
being a clever stage admiral Mr.. Morris
is an actor of unusual versatility.
During the past year and half he
has been occupying the position of
director at the Majestic theater in San
Francisco. where his splendid work in
stage craftsmanship won him much
praise.
Elsie Esmond, who appeared on the
Burbank stage three years during the
reign of those stock organizations, has
also been engaged by Manager Morosco
and will arrive within the next ten days
to enter upon her position as ingenue
of the Burbank company.
Will Be lngenue
Miss Esmond is a dainty bit of femi-
nine love- ness, possessed of a striking
voice and much personal charm. She
was the most popular ingenue that has
been seen at the Burbank, and her re-
appearance with the Burbank organi-
zation is cause for congratulation for
patrons of that play house
During the performance last evening
of TOO Much Johnson" Manager Mo-
rosco said to a Herald representatives:
Since Mr.. Duffield's retirement from
the stage a great bulk of the stage di-
rection falls upon me and while | like
the work, my time is so much taken up
pushing the business through for the
new Majestic theater that I really
should rot attempt to carry this extra
weight upon my shoulders.
Mr.. Morris is one of the best stage
directors it has been my fortune to
know. Burbank patrons are familiar
with his work as an actor and stage
director.
Miss Esmond is delightful ingenue
and both of these playfolk are already
esta blished favorites at the Burbank"

Call a Halt on
Nuisances

Councilman Fred Ford is up in arms
over the attempt of soap factory to
invade the sacred precincts of Pasadena
avenue and Avenue Forty, where some
handsome residences are built, and yes
terday induced the council to call upon
the city attorney to define a district
in which soap factories may flourish
snd permeate the atmosphere with their
olfactory denominations.
This district will be just where the
majority of them are located now.
The confines will be drawn rather
narrow and those that are not now in
1t will be asked to move in a hurry
Limiting districts in which certain
Objectionable although legitimate busi-
ness may be maintained is coming to
be a settled habit with the city council.
Propositions are now on hand to limit
districts where Saratoga chips may be
made, where horses may be corraled,
prize fights held and cows kept.

LARGE NUMBER TO SEE
SHRINER MINISTRIES
OVER 200 PEOPLE IN LINE WHEN
SEAT SALE OPENS
Will Nevin and Friends Secure Front
Row in GalIery-Last RehearsaIs
Over and Finishing Touches Have
Been Made

And they didn't do a thing to 'em!
This refers to the seat sale for the
Shrine minstrels which opened yester-
day morning at the Mason box office.
But how can you help it. with Leo
V. Youngworth and General Robert
Wankouski as prma donnas?
Two hundred and forty-one people
stood i'm line when the box office opened
and over sixty of these had been lined
up Since Sunday noon. 1t was certainly
a jolly crowd.
A platoon of police kept the line
straight and Treasurers Quarels and
Wyatt were bnusy looking after the
money.
Perry Widener, Hans Nagel and
Postmaster Flint superintended the
sale. 1t was a jolly time, and sweet
charity will certainly enjoy a boom.
Owing to the heavy demand for seats,
third night is to be given and the
reserved seat sale is now open for all
three events. The Arab patrol secured
22O seats in a block and have con-
cluded to give a portion of the per-
formance on their side of the foot
lights.
VIII NeVin Secures Front Row
Will Nevin, supported by a bevy Of
Apollos, has taken the front rows Of
the gallery and will proceed to make
merry with the minstrel men, and the
end is not here. The patronesses were
not in line, but several tea and ice
cream parties occurred yesterday after
noon at which there was something do
ing and deep plans were laid for next
Thursday night.
The Shrine party from Whittier is
coming up fifty-six strong, bringing a
festive suburban goat for the occasion.
Franklin the weather man, has ar
ranged for clear weather, and has
formed a court of inquiry concerning
the relative merits of the minstrel mu-
sicians.
The last rehearsals are over: the fin
ishing touches have been placed upon
the jolly gang, and the various book
stores are depleted of Joe Miller Joke
Books"
The floral companies of the city and
the vegetable exchanges are swamped
with orders for the last three nights of
the week and Easter Sunday will find
an aching void owing to a shortage
of eggs. Go thou and secure a seat
and make merry with the minstrel men
that thou mayest laugh and grow ro-
tund. Selah!

tiabit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many
of the so-called patent medicines con-
tanning injurious ingredients as broadly
published in some journals of more or
less influence, this publicity has certainly
been OF great benefit in arousing needed
attention to this subject, 1t has, in a
considerable measure, resulted in the
most intelligent people avoiding such
foods and medicines as may be fairly sus-
pected of containing the injurious ihgre-
dents complained Of Recognizing this
fact some time ago, DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, "took time by the forelock," as it
were, and published broadcast all the
ingredients of which his popular medi-
cines are composed. Thus he has COM
petely forestalled all harping critics and
all opposition that might otherwise be
urged against his medicines, because they
are now OF KNOWN COMPOST ION. Fur
thermore, from the formula printed on
every bottle wrapper. 1t will be seen that
these medicines contain no alcohol or
other habit-formng drugs. Neither do
they contain any narcotics or Injurious
agents, their ingredients being purely
vegetable, extracted from the roots OF
medicinal plants found growing in the
depths of our American forests and OF
well recognized curative virtues.
Instead of alcohol, which even in small
portions long continued, as in obstinate
cases OF ulSedSeS, DeCOIneS nlRnly ODJeC-
tonable from its tendency to produce a
craving for stimulants, DR.. Pierce en-
ploys chemically pure, triple refined
glycerine, which of itself is a valuable
remedy in many cases of chronic diseases,
being superior demulcent, antiseptic,
antiferment and supporting nutrtive.
1t enhances the curative action of the
Golden Seal root. Stone root, Black
Cherry bark and Bloodroot, contained in
rGolden Medical Discovery, in all bron-
chial, throat and lung affections attended
with severe coughs. AS will be seen from
the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover
Coe, of New York; Bartholow, of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Phila.; Scudder, of
Cincinnati; Ellingwood, Of Chicago;
Hale of Chicago, and others, who stand
as leaders in their several schools of
practice. the foregoing agents are the
Very best ingredients that DR.. Pierce
could have chosen to make up his fa-
nous Discovery" for the cure of not
only bronchial, throat and lung affec..
tions, but also Of chronic catarrh in all
its various forms wherever located.
