II appears the makers of straight
whisky sell much OF their product TO

DAVIS PLAY,
"THE DICTATOR"
AT BELASC0

The Belasco theater stock company
will tonight give the first stock per-
formance anywhere of Richard Hard
ing Davis latest and by all odds most
popular play, The Dictator"
This is the comedy in which Willie
Collier scored an out and out success
in this country as well as in London
last year. In the British metropolis
Collier compelled his audiences actually
to laugh at the American made jokes,
distinct achievement for any
comedian and a triumph for Mr.. Davis
bright lines and funny situations.
A feature of the Belasco production
tonight will be the Introduction of a
complete wireless telegraph outfit which
will be worked on the stage in full view
of the audience. 1t is the same sort of
an instrument that shoots electrical
waves between Los Angeles and
Avalon. and an operator from the Pa
cific Wireless Telegraph company will
for the present week appear as Belasco
actor and operate the wireless.
Joseph A. Galbraith should give a
splendid portrayal of Brooke Travers,
the original Collier part. He will have
ample support in this fun making from
George w. Barnum, as the faithful
valet, and Richard Vivian, as an en-
ploye of the wireless company in a
small South American town.
1.-The Dictator will engage the atten-
ton of the entire Belasco company as
well as a score or more of auxiliary

GRAM OPERA
TICKET SALE
BEGINS MONDAY

At 9 o'clock this llorning the Mason
opera house ticket office will probably
experience the greatest and livliest de-
mand for seats that it has ever known,
for at that hour the tickets for the one
night engagement of the Conried Metro
poitan opera company will be put on
sale
Messenger boys, in the employ of
prospective ticket buyers, first made
their appearance in the lobby of the
Mason yesterday noon and by 10 o'clock
there were over a hundred uniformed
urchins, not to mention over three
score of adults, each of whom faced
the prospect of standing in line all
night for the privilege of getting seats
for the grand double bill of 'Haensel
und Gretel' and Il Pagliacci," to be
given by the Conried organization Mon
day night, April 30.
Mr.. Strine. who has charge of the
transcontinental tour of the Metro
politan opera company, found in his
mail Saturday enough orders, contain
ing checks and drafts, to completely
sell out the seating capacity of the
Mason and it is going to be most
difficult proposition to provide seats for
those who have relied upon mail orders
to get their opera seats.
The line of seat purchasers in front
of the boXoffice window will first be
looked after, as is the usual custom, and
the seats that remain after this demand
is satisfied If there are any, will be sent
to those who mailed their orders to Mr.
Strine. From the outlook in front of
the theater last night, however, and the
extraordinary interest the people Of
Los Angeles have manifested in the
single performance here of the big
opera company, there is hardly any
likelihood that any of the mail orders
can be filled. Small as the seating
capacity, when compared to the large
audtiorums in which the opera company
is accustomed to appearing, this limited
number of seats must be further cur
tailed in order to make room for the
sixty members of the Conried orchestra
and for this purpose the first two rows
OH the lower floor will have to be
taken out.
The Conried season of grand opera in
San Francisco commences tonight and
the advance sale of seats up to Satur
day night. amounted TO the impressive
and eloquent figure of $4,000, an un-
precedented sale of seats for opera even
for the northern metropolis.

GRAND's STOCK
MAKES A HIT
ULRICH COMPANY PLEASES
IMMENSELY
"ShadoW Behind the Throne" Has
Noisy Stage Battle With Chi
nese-"Bachelor Romance"
Is Welcomed

THE Shadow Behind the Throne" a
presented, is the first offering of the
Ulrich stock company, which opened
at the Grand yesterday.
The majority of the members of the
cast are new to Los Angeles theater-
goers, although Miss Lillian Hayward
and Lule Warrenton were remembered
by many in the audience yes
terday. Harrison King is the leading
man and his work Is good. Last sea-
son when the Ulrich company played
at the Grand Richard Buhler had the
lead, and many of the melodramas
we're almost spoiled by the listless
manner in which Buher spoke his
lines. King throws a great deal of
animation and vigor into his lines,
which I'M melodrama is imperative.
Miss Hayward has improved since
last season and was especially good in
"The Shadow Behind the Throne The
plot of the melodrama is not conspicu-
Gus, but there is action, all the time.
Battle With Chinese
The action takes place in China at
the time when the Boxer rebellion was
in progress. "Scotty, King of the
Desert Mine,' did not have it on the
Shadow" bit as far as shooting is
concerned. In the last act where the
little force at the American legation at
Shemshee is supposed to be repelling a
horde of infuriated Chinese there is
enough noise for a sham battle, or a
real one for that matter.
Miss Corinne Smell, the leading
woman was not impressive as Dorothy
Calhoun, the American girl. There was
altogether too much shouting Il am an
Amurrican and don't you dare touch
mel 1t was almost a plethora of
patriotism. Miss Selwyn made very
Indifferent French girl, her accent be-
ing distinctly Chicagoesque, but she
was animated and vivacious and alto
gether pleasing.
Frank L. Frayne was a delightful
Bobby Carruthers. He was certainly
as saucy as could be. Arthur Hill was
fair as Col. Calhoun. Pryse Mackay Is
again the heavy, and as such was
Kissed with great fervor. Herbert Far
jeon gave conscientious Interpretation
to the part of the viceroy of China.
His makeup as the ancient malevolent
Chinese was good. All of the leading
members of the company were given
bouquets when they made their first
appearance.
The season of stock melodrama
started most auspiciously and If the
standard of this week is kept up the
Grand management is to be congratu-
lated.

They are neither patent medicines nor
secret ones either, for every bottle of
DR.. Pierce's world famed medicines
leaving the great laboratory at Buffalo,
N. Y, has printed upon its wrapper
all the ingredients entering into its
composition. This is why so many
unprejudiced physicians now prescribe
patients when they would not think of
advising the use of a secret nostrum.
They know what they are composed of,
and that the ingredients are those en-
dorsed by the most eminent medical
authorities of all schools of practice.
ALL RIGHTS PROTECTED.
The exact working formula for max
ing Dr. Pierce's medicines without the
use of drop of alcohol and preserving
them unimpaired in any climate for any
length of time, cost DR.. Pierce and his
assistant chemists and pharmacists a
tedious course of study and expert
ments, extending over several years.
With the use of chemically pure glycer-
inc, of just the right strength, and with
laboratory apparatus and appliances
specially invented and designed to carry
on the delicate processes employed, Dr.
Pierce finally found that all the medici-
nal principles residing in the several
native medicinal roots could be more
perfectly extracted and better preserved
from fermentation than if alcohol was
employed.
Besides the glycerine, of itself, pos
sesses the property of greatly enhancing
the efficacy Of the several medicinal
agents employed, whereas alcohol is
we'll known to be Objectionable in any
medicine to be employed in chronic or
lingering diseases, where, at best, treat
ment must be continued over consd-
erable period Of time il order to make
the cure complete and permanent.
The exact proportion of the several
ingredients used in these medicines as
well as the ao0rking formula and peculiar
process, apparatus and appliances
employed in their manufacture, are
withheld from publicity that DR.. Pierce's
proprietary rights may not be infringed
and trespassed upon by unprincipled
imitators and those who may be pratt
cally inclined.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, confiding, open, honest
statement of their full composition,
giving every ingredient in plain English,
without fear of successful criticism and
with confidence that the good sense of
the afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner of confiding to
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use of these
medicines.
A lite book of extracts from many
standard medical works of all the diff
ferent schools of practice, indorsing, in
the strongest terms, all the several in
gradients entering into DR.. Pierce's
medicines and telling what diseases

will cure, will be mailed free to any

GLAZIER AS
BACHELOR
A SURPRISE

If revivals were all like the Burbank
stock company's revival of "A Bache-
lor's Romance" which began a weeks
run yesterday, we would cry Let us
have more of them"
The wholesome old comedy with the
old, old story of the bachelor falling in
love with his ward cannot lie too often
told for it leaves everyone with a
sense of satisfaction with the world.
Without a doubt it Is the class of
drama most suited to the Burbank
company, and there was not a member
of the company who was not we'll cast.
Harry Glazier "a the bachelor was
delightful surprise. Since Mr.. Glazier
has been in Los Angeles he has been
picturing villains, not bold, bad men
but sly cunning creatures. His villains
were portrayed with remarkable
finish and we were thankful but now
he comes with a decidedly new charac-
ter and there is double cause for thank
fulness.
The bachelor as he reveals him pos
sesses much tenderness and likewise
the necessary strength
In physique and temperament Blanche
Hall is suited to the part os the Win
some young ward of II years, who is
compelled to WOO the man she loves.
Her characterization is lovable.
John Burton as Martin, the poor man
whose every effort has been a failure
because he failed to win the hand of
the woman he loves, gives one of his
best interpretations, and his "eh" is
little short of a classic.
Carol Arden as the young widow and
Brenda Fowler as the society girl do
good work, and Carol Marshall as the
maiden lady is seen in her most char
acteristic role, and Harry Mestayer
also does clever work as the worldly
young man. Henry Stockbridge, V. T..
Henderson and Willis Marks each add
their quota to the success of the
comedy.
The women of the Burbank company
are wearing much better gowns lately
and the Improvement is a most accept
able one. Perhaps Miss Arden de-
serves some credit for setting the

Buried deep in our American forests
many years ago, DR.. Pierce found 9
beautiful, blooming plant the root oil
which possesses wonderfully efficaclous
properties as a stomach and general
tonic, also as an Alternative or blood
purifier and liver invigorator, having an
especial affinity for all mucous surfaces
upon which it exerts most salutary,
soothing and healing influence.
This sturdy little plant is known, to
botanists as Hydrastis Canadensls, but
has several local English names. being
generally known as Golden Seal. DR..
Pierce found the root OF this common
forest plant to possess medicinal prln-
ciples of great potency, especially when
;om bined, in just the right proportions,
with Queens root, Black Cherrybark,
Stone root, Mandrake root and Blood
root, the properties of each being ex-
tracted and preserved in chemically
pure glycerine OF proper strength.
This compound DR.. Pierce named
his uGolden Medical Discovery" in
honor of the sturdy little Golden Seal
plant. SO little used was the root OF
this plant by the medical profession at
that time, that it could be purchased
in the open markets for from fifteen
cents to twenty cents pound. The
use of many tons of this root every
year in DR.. Pierce's two leading medi-
cines-for it enters into both "Golden
Medical Discovery" and also into DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription as one OF
their most important ingredients-haa
caused the price of the root to advance
until to-day it commands upwards OF
a dollar and half pound.
DR.. PIERCE's FAITH.
DR.. Pierce believes that in our native
forests are to be found an abundance of
most valuable medicinal plants for the
cure of many distressing and most
fatal maladies, if we would only seek
them out, test them and learn how
and for what diseases to use them.
Furthermore, he believes that the veg
etable kingdom is the one to resort to
for the most harmless remedial agents.
They act most kindly upon the hu-
man system and are eliminated or car
ried out of the body by the natural
functions without injury, even in cases
where it is necessary to make protracted
use OF them in order to experience per-
manenG cures. DT. leTCe lneulClHeS
being purely vegetable, are perfectly
harmless. In other words, while they
are potent to cure, being purely vege-
table in composition and containing no
alcohol, they leave no bad effects be-
hind. This is not generally true when
mineral medicines and those containing
large percentages Of alcohol are taken
into the system and their use protracted
over considerable periods of time.
Many years ago, DR.. Pierce discov-
cred that chemically pure glycerine, OF
proper strength, is better solvent and
preservative of the medicinal principles
residing in our indigenous, or native,
medicinal plants than is alcohol; and,
furthermore, that it possesses intrinsic
medicinal properties of its own, being
demulcent, nutritive, antseptic and a
most efficient anti-ferment.
THEY STAND ALONE.

Golden Medical Discovery, the great
stomach tonic, liver invigorator, heart
regulator and blood purifier, nor his

OLD FACES AND
OLD DRAMA
COMING BACK

This morning at Q o'clock the
sale of seats will begin for Barbara
Frietchie," the attraction chosen as the
Burbank theater Offering next week.
One of the features of the piece will
be the temperance after an absence
of two years of the local favorites Rob-
ert Morris and Elsie Esmond. During
the reign of the Neill and the Oliver
Morosco companies both players re-
ceived large amount of praise, Mr..
Morris for his skillful direction of the
stage and Miss Esmond for her dainty
portrayal of ingenue roles. The coming
week Mr.. Morris and Miss Esmond will
assume their old positions with the
Burbank forces.
Barbara Frietchie" is a drama of love
and war written by Clyde Fitch. On
several occasions the piece has been
presented at the Burbank and the man
agement is of the opinion that it is one
of the most thoroughly popular plays
that has been offered since the advent
of the stock company in Los Angeles.

JAPANESE HEAR
NATIVE SONGS
CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAY OF
BUDDA
Special Representatives of the Mikado
Address Their Countrymen-Na-
tionai Anthem Sung by
Little Girl

with the singing of national anthems
and entertainments of their native
land, the Japanese of Los Angeles yes
terday celebrated the birthday of
Buddah. the prophet, at Turner hall on
South Main street.
Special representatives of the Mikado
were in attendance and addressed the
visitors. Honorable G. Ashikaga and
T. Hayashi told of the present condi-
tions in Japan and of the remarkable
progress made by the Buddhits in
America. AS each speaker left the
stage he bowed before a picture of
Buddha.
Following the addresses came the
real entertainment of the evening. A
young American girl. teacher in the
Buddhist mission, rendered an instru-
mental solo.
Then tiny Tito Izumida, wee tot of
Japanese baby, was led out on the
stage and called upon to sing a jap
anese hymn. The child raised her little
voice and it's shrillness penetrated all
parts of the hall, while hundreds of
men and women leaned far over the
balconies to listen. The tiny voice rose
in one last wall of distress and
gradually died in a sob. 1t was the
national anthem and a hundred voices
gave it welcome.
Magician Comes Next
Then came a magician and a story
teller. The sword dances of the even
ing formed the chief attraction for the
Japanese and were hailed with yells of
delight.
The first chapter of the dance was
given by two women dressed as fight
ers. While wailng voice sent weird
notes from the wings of the stage the
two women advanced to an imaginary
attack beating back the enemy. with
their swords until cornered, when they
fell fighting at every step. For the last
time they raised themselves to their
knees sent one good blow at their
imaginary foes and then fell to the
floor.
The second chapter showed a young
man hard pressed to the mountains.
With the flag of his nation before him
he STAYED off the enemy until driven to
bay. when he fought with his sword
until overpowered.
Then came the last act, and with it
the grand finale. The hero of war
dashed in and fought off the enemy,
fiinging them over the precipice and
beating them down with his sword
until single handed he won his victory,
Many other forms of Japanese en-
tertainment were presented, including
dancing, singing and harp playing.
