and said that when the child ran in
front of the machine he turned toward

Mary Norman's Friend

HK AIRY NORMAN, who comes to
wv the Orpheum this week with her
society monologues. is not a
can take her place in society and be
one of the most popular women Of the
set. This Is not unnatural, for Miss
Norman is daughter Of one of the
best families of Des Moines, Ia.
In this connection there is a pretty
story which might never have reached
the public but for a chance acquaint-
ance made by Randolph Bartlett, the
Orpheum press agent, in the train
going to San Francisco a few weeks
ago. He met a Mr.. Charles Rogg of
Des Moines, who is a wealthy man by
grace of business instinct and globe
trotter by inclination. In the course of
a conversation about vaudeville Miss
Norman's name was mentioned and Mr..
Rogg told this story
81 have known Miss Norman since
she was little girl. Her parents were
prominent in Des Moines and her father
was in the meat packing business.
Mary had often appeared at amateur
entertainments and her cleverness
in taking off society types had gained
for her a considerable reputation.
Finally her father lost his business
through the operations of the meat
trust, and hard times appeared immi-
nent. Mary came to the rescue and in
side of year was the most famous
woman of the vaudeville stage. She
has given her parents home and made
them independent for the balance of
their lives
Rogg was to sail for Honolulu on the
Manchuria the following Tuesday.
When Bartlett arrived in San Francisco
he found that Miss Norman was due
there Monday, and was able to ar
range meeting between the old friends
before the traveller sailed for the ori-
ent. They had not met for three years
and probably would not have met for
three more as Mr.. Rogg is making his
third tour of the world in his own leis-
urely way
And strangely enough, the occasion
of their last meeting was Miss Nor
mans last appearance in Los Angeles
at the Orpheum. when Mr.. Rogg, who
sent across the footlights a huge basket
of violets which will not be forgotten
by those who saw it. and entertained a
large party after the performance in
the Angelus grill.

William Yerance as Sir Peter Teazle,
Richard Vivian as Careless Marie

School for Scandal stands as one of
the masterpieces of modern times, and
the adroit subtleties hidden in its prin-
cipal lines have challenged the finest
actorial talent of the past century. II
represents the high mark of the period
in which 1t was written. and the ex-
cellence of its construction shames
most of the so-called dramas of the
present day. 1t is seen but seldom be-

Mr.. Morosco In New York

TN a letter to Joseph Montrose, Oliver
Morosco, proprietor of the Burbank
theater, now in New York city, states
that the organization engaged for the
coming tour of "A Southern Vendetta
is letter perfect, and that the big COM
pany that is about to launch the
Morosco- Cottrell play, "The Judge and
the Jury" on Broadway is in splendid
shape for the important production.
Mr.. Morosco went east some four
weeks ago and began work Immediately
upon the rehearsals for both plays.
After much hard work with one COM
pany in the morning and the other in
the afternoon everything seems to have
progressed toward a satisfactory con-
dition of affairs
Jessie Mae Hall will star in "A South
rn Vendetta" playing the role in which
she created so favorable an impression
in Los Angeles several months ago.
William Desmond and Ida Conquest
have the important roles in the produc-
tion Of "The Judge and the Jury
II. ]. CHM, Harry Llewellyn, Rose King
and Bennett Southard all well and fa-
Vorably known in Los Angeles, will be
prominently connected with the big pre-
sentation which is booked to begin a
run this week
Writing of Mr.. Morosco, the Dramatic
Mirror says:
Mr. Morosco is proprietor and man
ager OF the Burbank stock company at
the Burbank theater, Los Angeles, Cal,
the most successful organization on the
Pacific coast. Mr.. Morosco will enjoy
the distinction of having three of his
plays produced in New York this sea-
son, all Of which have been originally
produced at his Los Angeles theater.
The Judge and the Jury which viii
receive its initial New York representa-
tion at Wallack's theater, September 3,
enjoyed run of three weeks in Los
Angeles, holding the record as to length
of run in that city until Mr. Morosco's
latest play, The Halfbreed, ran Ave
weeks to packed houses, which is con-
sidered remarkable for city Of $50. 900
inhabitants. Both The Judge and the
Jury and The Halfbreed are the Joint
work of oliver Morosco and Harry Cot
trell,. while his third play, "A Southern
Vendetta in which Jessie Mae Hall is
to star, is by Mr.. Cottrell and was
purchased outright by Mr.. Morosco. At
his Burbank theater, Los Angeles,
Blanche Hall, the leading woman,
played nearly one hundred consecutive
weeks over fifty weeks longer than
any other leading woman has remained
in that city. Mr.. Morosco is now per-
sonally directing the rehearsals of The
Judge and the Jury and "A Southern
Vendetta and The Half Breed will
probably be produced here late in the
autumn"

vember and after brief stay here they
Will go direct to San Francisco and
sing repertoire in a theater yet to be
selected.
Now while this announcement may
not possess the social importance that
would attach to an engagement of the
Conried company II is quite gratifying
to the people who like opera for OPERA
sake. For when the Lambardis last
visited us half dozen yeai ago they
introduced some really good voices, and
what the performances lacked in sump-
tuousness of production was fully made
up for by vocal worth. Among the

THE Hotchkiss is open again, ana
the region OF Fourth and Spring
streets has resumed its wonted
aspect of activity. There is every pros
pect of a lively season at the little
theater. Judging by the auspicious
opening of last night, and certainly
everyone is glad to welcome "Fent"

that his trade mark. the swastika.
would indicate. Good management is
the one thing that the Hotchkiss has
lacked so far Hamilton knows how to

certainly the combination ought to eff
feet the purpose there. Here's hopes.
anyhow.
Now 1t is the Grand that has broken
into the two-weeks class. 1t finds
seven days all too few for some of it's
excellent offerings, and Baxter" that
queer hodge-podge of everything theat-
rical from tragedy to farce, Is to run
another span. Los Angeles is really too
large for week stands any more, 1t
seems; few other places in the United
States could endure five weeks Of one
play, as 1t did THE Halfbreed," and
make money right up to the end. It's
a good sign; 1t shows that really good
attractions at reasonable prices can
make money here every day in the year,
and it should bring it's lesson home to
the syndicate, good and plenty. That
body will hand us a few at the Mason,
beginning pretty soon, and one certainly
hopes that its offerings will be of the
highest class, and that prices won't be
beyond reach of the ordinary pocket
book. From his list of attractions
Harry Wyatt has done his part; it now
rests with the powers that be in New
YORK.
When the Mason does reopen the en-
tire bunch of show houses will have
started their fall season. The prospects
for lively theatricals are fine, and the
quake in San Francisco seems to have
had no effect whatever unless 1t be for
the better. Only granl opera is to the
bad. How we would enjoy a good old
