theater this AFTERNOON. This is the first
time matinee has been given there on

to numerous requests from people who
are unable to see the regular matinees.
Then, too, besides being a drama Of
absorbing interest "EVeryman" is a
play to which the church-going public
have given their support and stamp of
approval, in so far that many clergymen
have made special mention of it from
their pulpits The performance will
commence at 2:30 o'clock and will be at
the regular Belasco prices.

Jessie Mae HaH's New Play
A SOUTHERN VENDETTA" +"

(C A SOUTHERN VENDETTA" by
u Harry d. Cottr'lI, co-author
of The Halfbreed," is the
ness of our own Jessie Mae Hall, who
will appear in Los Angeles shortly un-
der the direction of oliver Morosco and
the management of AL Trahern. The
play is a comedy drama built around
a story of which Miss Hall is the cen
trail figure. This charming little
woman gained her sobriquet of THE
dainty doll comedienne" through her
remarkable ability to enact juvenile
roles. Although full grown, her char
acterizations of 12-year-old girls are so
convincing that few who have seen
her on the stage can believe that she
is not a real child. Such was the case
when she played Skeeters i'm "Jim
Bludso' and Simplicity Johnson in
Lovers Lane" Her acting has been
compared to Lotta's. She is but four
feet, eight inches high which, of
course, adds to the illusion. No
womans shoe manufactured will fit
her tiny foot: so. as she wears size 12,
she is compelled to have her shoes
made to order.
Miss Hall Will be afforded every op-
portunity i'm her new play for the dis
play of her highly cultivated soprano
voice. which enables her to sing in
three octaves, her top note being e
above high c. She will introduce sew
eral juvenile songs, all of which were
written for her. They are II Won't
Play Unless You Coax Me-" "My Old
Rag DOLL" II Wish I'd Been Born a
Boy and The Buzz Saw and the
Bee"
The company engaged to support
Miss Hall, who begins her season
i'm Philadelphia August 27, includes
Leslie Morosco. Leila Shaw, Rae Bron-
son, Walter Seymour, j. G. Brammall,

NOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN
I'4'E4s@as s's .s..'sSs..ss...'

A FTER ten years of continued, sue
! ~ cess with grand opera repertoire
in English, embracing eighty
three productions and nearly 5000 per-
formances. Henry w. Savage announces
that he will discontinue his original
enterprise next season. While this an
nouncement will dlsappoint thousands
of music lovers, who through his pro-
ductions have become familiar with
works of the great composers, there is
consolation in the fact that Mr.. Savage
has not decided to retire from the
grand opera field. He has just returned
from abroad after having organized a
new grand opera company for a
| presentation in America of John Luther
Longs dainty Mime. Butterfly" done
into music by Puccini. Mr. Savage
never was very much inclined toward
Los Angeles by the way, and so far as
this city is concerned, his grand-opera-
in-English company, save for one brief
visit, might as well not have existed
One wonders if Mime Butterfly" will
ever flutter cut this way-though, as
Savage announces three separate casts
for it he may deign to give us the No.
| 8 company-at No. prices-some day.
Nine. Helena Modjeska has not yet
! determined just what plays will be in
her repertoire next season. Her man
ager. Jules Murry, is daily in receipt
of requests from Nine. Modieska's ad-
mirers asking for this or that play to
be presented by her. The choice will
probably be finally decided by the pre-
| ponderance of requests for certain
plays, Just as last season the theater
goers of every city where Nine. Mod
jeska appeared was permitted to name
their favorite play in her repertoire,
and that play was ALWAYS given.
Mary Van Buren, who is to begin
| q starring engagement at the Bur
bank theater. supported by the Bur-
bank company arrived in Los An
geles Saturday morning. Miss Van
Buren is not to be leading woman, as
was previously announced. but will
star in a number of her favorite plays,
supported by the big Burbank theater
stock organization.
Madame Sans Gene" is announced
as the first of the series of plays in
which the noted actress will partici-
pate.
The new Alcazar theater in San Fran
cisco is to be erected by Belasco &,
Mayer on the southwest corner of SUIT
ter and Steiner streets, away out in the
residence district, and will cost $3.50, ,0O0
The seating capacity will be 1900 with
out crowding. The exterior is designed
in old Spanish style and the interior
ornamentation will be Moorish. White
Whittlesey will open the playhouse in
the latter part of October.
Randolph Bartlett, press agent of the
! Grand and Orpheum, is up in San
Francisco. Rumor says he is gathering
materials for a blood and thunder
drama on the quake, to be produced
at the home of thrillers at First and
Main soon. ..
Frank Pixley's new musical play,
upon which he is working over in Pasa-
dena, is "The Great Mogul." For it the
librettist completed his studies When
over in Japan. 1t will be produced next
November.
Jack Blackwood of the Belasco took
few days holiday at Catalina last
week and fish stories are much in evil
dence about Fourth and Main streets
now, though no one has seen the fish.

new ice cooling system now makes the
theater cool, cozy and comfortable on
these hot days, and is greatly appre-
ciated by the patrons.
PEOPLE, S-The Ethel Tucker stock
company at the new Peoples theater
this week will present a play of the
south, a drama out of the ordinary, en-
titled KNOBS o. Tennessee" full of
true heart interest, good comedy, with
all the requirements that make up
good drama, telling the story of the
life of the sturdy mountaineeer, his
family and children, among the piney
forests of the Cumberland hills, where
the United States revenue officers lie in
wait for the moonshiners, and of the
many thrilling escapes that come to
them. Matinees will be given every
day. For the week of August 26 big
production of "Sapho" is in prepara-
ton.

Chutes-outdoor amusements
MY, such a dearthness in theatrical
w regions. This town hasn't been
so dead In a play-way Tor
an age. And It's all the worse be-
cause only couple of weeks or so ago
It was so lively.
No use talking. while the Dutch
comedian war was hard on the Eng
hish language and the two sets of
fracturers thereof. 1t was lots OF run
for the city and its playgoers. And
one does miss woefully seing the little
fat gentleman kicked in the bread
basket by his elongated and mourn
full compatriot In trouble. one hardly
thought very ethically much of either
aggregation while 1T was here, but
absence makes the heart lots fonder OF
both punches, and the gutteral utter
ances of either Kolb and Dill or Rice
and Cady would be right cheerily well
coined in the present Sahara of nom
sense.
But there are two bright spots in the
gloom The Burbank is to give sea-
son. with Mary Van Buren, as star,
in her own plays, and that's great
rift of brightness in the gloom. And
Jack Blackwood of the Belasco is
looking mighty mysterious these days,
and there are hints of new players
there. that make for much in ex-
pectancy The good old stock COM
panies never do fail us, even when all
else is lost, and both these superb ag-
gregations may be depended upon to
rescue Los Angeles from its present
summer dullness in short order.
Things Hotchkiss-ward look better
than they have for a long time
"Fent'' Hamilton, who now holds the
lease on that house, is an expert show
man from Illinois, who has been out
here a year looking for just the place
for a light comedy company, and he
thinks he has found 1t. Whether or
not he can break the Hotchkiss hoodoo
time alone and the patronage Of the
public can tell, but that he will give
good shows, with good people, and at
fair rates, is assured Here's hoping
for his success from the start

audience coming upon the same play

Taxation without representation Is

SO said our foretathorS Of old, anC
for this principal they fought and
bled and died through eight long years
of weary warfare, that through their
suffering they might bequeath to the
American people that most priceless
boon; the right of suffrage. SO said
the manhood of France and through
out the dark years of the French Rev
OlutiOn, the MODEST men and women
OF that great nation gave their lives a
ready sacrifice on their countries al
tar in order that succeeding gener-
ationS might enjoy the blessings of a
free ballot.
SO say the millions of down trodden
humanity ground under the iron heel
of Russian despOtiSm, as they willing
ly sacrifice life and happiness that
their fellow men may enjoy the bleS-
sings of political freedom. What is
the significants of this sacrifice Of
blood and treasure for a principal?
1t means that the enlightened of every
country and every age have recog-
niZed the fact that the privilege of par
tiCipating in making of the laws which
govern the country in which one lives
is the most sacred right and duty Civ
en- to man. And yet IN the light of
the fact that history, Ancient and
Modern demonstrates that men of all
ages and nations have given life and
treasure to secure the privilege of the
ballot, there are large number of
American citizens throughout this
ward and parish who willingly dis
franchise themselves, placing them.
selves On level, politically with the
negro, the idiot and the criminal, all
for the sake of one paltry dollar.
This is the condition of the man who
refuses or neglects to pay his poll
tax which enables him to become a
voter in this great commonwealth in
which he lives: and makes his opinion
upon all national, state and municip-
al affairs worth as much, at the polls
as that Of any man in the nation At
the recent election there were dozens
OF men who, when urged 10 come to

they were disqualified to do so because

There now remains scarcely thirty
days in which to pay your poll tax
and make your calling and election

pay your 1906 tax before the 3lst dav
of December that YOU will be debarred
from voting in the National electio n
of 1903, in the Stale election held at
that time and in the parish election
