Something Good Next Thursday.

Theatregoers were treated TO an
unusually pleasant entertainment
Saturday evening at Steinberg's Grand
when the Wizard of Or was pre-
sented. There were so manyT good
things in the production that it is
hard to distinguish the faults. The
amusing features were amusing, not
of the "shoddy" variety, and the
players entered into their parts with
vim that plea sed all the time. The
interest centers largely ,ronnd the
Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman por-
trayed by Geo. a. Rock and Fred !.
Nice, who are masters of their parts.
Both the acting and the musical
numbers. especially the skits, were
features that make the play center for
some of the best acting ever seen ON
local stage. The entire company is
evenly balanced and Z deserves only
words of praise. Kathryn Lyon, as
the Lazy Lunatic, was especially
strong in the portrayal of her difficult
part. The Cow and the Cowardlv
Lion in the persons of Fred Wood ward
and Joe A. West were pleasing by
plays. The stage settings were fine
and the cyclone, poppy field, the
snow storm and the accompanying
transformation, something which will
never be forgotten, by any who saw
tie play.
There was confusion in the audience
at the end of the second act at which
time nearly the entire audience arose
and commenced putting on wraps.
surprising that the play was completed.
Evidently most of them had their
money's worth without waiting for
TIE last act. Daily News, Toledo,

INSURANCE FIGHT ON
MoLsgsRRY INTRODUCES REso-
LUTON CALLING FOR PROBING.

Would Have Legislature Appoint a
Commission to Make Searching In

Business in the state.
Des Moines, Jan. 16.-Taking their
cues from the legislative inquiry late.
~ concluded in New York state ana
from the recommendations OF Commits
sioner Host Of the Wisconsin insur-
ance department, legislators of Iowa
have already begun a crusade which
may lead to a thorough and drastic
investigation Of the life insurance
companies doing business In the state
and a complete revision or the rules
governing the companies. Already
one resolution and bill have been
presented to the assembly touching
on this subject The resolution was
presented by Senator F. NJ. Molsber-
ny of Columbus Junction, which de-
clares that the present insurance laws
OF Iowa are inadequate and subject
to various interpretations, and that
the companies are not paying their
just proportion OF the taxes OF the
state. The resolution also declares
that the powers of the state auditor,

who in Iowa has charge OF insurance
affairs, are so limited under the pres
ent laws as to make them nearly in
effective, being simply the determin-
ing as to the sowency of any com

have the legislature appoint a com
mission of three members of the SEN

begin and carry to completion a
searching investigation of the acts
and methods OF the Iowa life insur-
ance companies and of the foreign
companies doing business in the state
The commission is to be clothed with
power to proceed along the same lines
as were followed by the Hughes in
quisitorial committee in New York,
with the right to subpoena witnesses
and compel their attendance at its
sessions. and with the right to en-
ploy clerks and counsel. The sit
tings of the committee may begin at
any time, but must be completed by
the LIST dav of December, 1906, and it
is instructed to report its findings to
the legislature of 1907, together with
such recommendations and amend
ments of the laws as it may deem
necessary to nut its recommended re-

ITALIAN TRIO
PLEASES HEARERS
AT THE 0RPHEUM

The Scipio Argenanti trio, which
sings selections from Verdis II Lom-
bardi," the Cavatina from THE Bar
Der of Seville and the waltz trio Blue
Danube" is one of the most enjoyable
acts at the Orpheum this week. The
bill in general is nearly the same as
it was the latter part of last week.
Foster and Foster in their musical
comedy, THE Volunteer Pianist" are
good They have played on the Pacific
coast twice before this and their act is
excellent. The taller Foster, who used
to introduce his chicken limitations in
That's the Way to Spell Chicken"
has a new song in which he does the
rooster stunt.
The Francelias have a good weight
lifting and juggling act The man of
the company lifts a model of an auto
mobile with apparent ease and throws
huge iron balls recklessly about.
The holdovers are Carson and Will

Of Gay Widow Helps the

George Barnum is the redeeming
fea ture, the beginning and the end,
the life and the spirit, and in short.
the whole Of "Gloriana" at the Belasco
this week.
Without George Barnum "Gloriana"
would have absolutely no excuse for
existence
From the part written by James
Mortimer in the three-act farce COM
edy, he makes all there is and a great
deal more AS the Russian count who
is always perfectly calm and perfectly
correct" he is, as the press agent
would say, "irresistibly funny" His
makeup is one of the best he has
shown in Los Angeles and he never
for a moment drops the role.
In the first act Mr.. Barnum does
not appear, and it is fiat and uninter-
esting. The climaxes are none of them
very startling and without Mr.. Bar
mum would fail completely.
Miss Adele Harrington has the title
role created by Henrietta Crossman
eleven years ago. She is gay young
widow with wandering affections and
the complications of the play are built
upon her love affairs.
William Bernard as Leopold Fitz
Jocelyn, victim of one of the Widows
attachments, is a counterpart of the
man he pictured in Are You Ma
son?' last week.
Mr.. Bernard is fetching in green
satin livery, with which fate or the
tricks of the playwright, have provided
him.
Dick Vivian again leads a double life,
playing the valet and the master
equally well. Mr.. Vivians cockney
English is always choice.
Margaret Langham is a pretty bride
in the last act, though there is nothing
to her part. William Yerence as the
retired tanner also adds to the COM
edy situations. Robert Dempster and
Ernest Van Pelt as two Russian Of
flcers with only a few Russian words
to speak were splendid examples of
what the makeup box can do.

Matthews was a member of Co. H of

was sent to Camp Alger, in Virginia.
Camped alongside of them was the

the south. II was at this point that
Matthews met Herkins, and learning of
his condition gave him bread and meat.
