ATTRACTIONS FOR The WEEK
AT 0AKLAND'S PLAYHOUSES

Commencing Monday night the
charming light opera "Olivette" will
be produced by the excellent comic
opera company at Idora Park, Oak
land under the management OF Harry
Bishop and Will Greenbaum. The di-
rector. Paul Steindorff, has spared no
pains in the preparation of this gem
of light music, and Ferris Hartman's
skill as a stage director vouches for
completeness of detail in that line The
music of "Olivette" is really far above
most of the light opera music. There
are duets, quartets and ensembles
that would grace any of the lighter
grand operas. and the libretto is par
ticularly clever. It abounds in the
funniest situations and affords a most
enjoyable evenings amusement both to
musician and play lover.
As Olivette Hope Mayne will have
a part particularly suited to her tall
ents, and Sybil Page will sing the bril-
liant music of the Countess. Ferris
Hartman as Coquelico will have a
great opportunity, and we may expect
some clever topical verses in Bob Up
Serenely." Arthur Cunningham will
play Captain de Merrimac and Eugene
Weiner the nephew The entire cast
will be strong and the orchestra and
chorus at Idora Park are admitted to
be the finest ever organized by local
management.

bigger collection would make for the
sociological and physiological student.
Prominent among these sample gem
ealogical trees is that of the famous
Terry family. of which Ellen Terry is
the world-renowned one. Ellen Terry's
father was an actress and he married
an actress. This couple had four
daughters, all of whom became ac-
tresses, son who became an actor. an
other a stage manager. and another a
theater treasurer. In the second gem
Grafton there are three actresses and
two actors, and, for the third genera
ton, Ellen Terry's granddaughter.
Rosemary Gordon Craig, has appeared
on the stage
An observance OF the tables reveals
the fact that not only are the actors
and actresses handing down their tall
ent TO their children. but there is a no.
table number of intermarriages among
the players, thus giving the younger
generations all the advantage there
may be in double line OF dramatic de-
scent That method is, of course the
way TO make heredity get in its thor
oush work-that and the great inten-
sif1er of linking far back generation
to generation of histrionic talent, so
that there shall be less and less
spelling what the near heredity has
accomplished.
suppose one were to put the problem
thus: If two or three generations and
few intermarriages have already done
so much, what wonders would a score,
or hundred. of them do? Socfologists
tell us we can never put this theory to
test in the human family, because it
would be too artificial. However this
may be, the dramatic branch of the
human family seems to be making the
experiment quite naturally-in the reg
ular instructive order of evolution; and
so here is the opportunity to watch
what may be the good uses of this
method of increasing the quantity and
quality Of human genius.
Another notable tree is that of the
Robertson family. James Robertson,
an actor, had two sons, both actors.
His one grandson married an actress.
They had one son, q dramatist and two
sons actors, and two daughters act
resses. One of these sons married an
actress and one of his sisters married
anfactor. In the next generation there
are two actors, two actresses and
pianist. and there have been two inter
marriages with the dramatic profession.
The Bateman family shows like per-
sistence OF dramatic talent through five
generations. An odd thing in this tree
is that one member. Henry Bateman of
Baltimore, married "a strict Methodist"
but this adrriixture of strict religious
blood, Instead of interrupting, like an
anomalous outcross, the trend of the
lines OF blood TO things dramatic,
seemed to intensity 1t. The couple had
a son who was an actor manager. and
he married an actress; the children and
grandchildren were four actors and Ave
actresses. and there were four inter-
marriages with people of the dramatic
profession. These few tables mentioned
will give a suggestion of what fine ex-
amples of heredity can be had from the
genealogies of the greenroom.

company was permitted to take as
much as 1t pleased. 1t is a long

Pens are made by machines which
seem almost to think. The steel is
cut into ribbons as wide as the
length of one pen, and these are fed
to machines which cut out the
blanks, then stamp them, split the
points and place the makers name

complete save the annealing, which
is a process Of heating the metal

How to Perform a PuzzIng Needle and
Thread Trick.

Considerable amusement, not un-
mixed with wonder, may be occa-
stoned by a clever performance of
the thread and needle trick A
piece Of calico, muslin o. linen is
taken in the left hand, a needle IS
threaded in the presence of the
spectators and the usual or even a
double or treble knot made at the
extremity Of one Of the ends of It.
The operator begins his work by
drawing the needle and the thread
IN it quite through the linen, not
withstanding the knot, and contin-
ues to make several stitches IN like
manner successfully.
The mode of performing this
seeming wonder is as follows: A bit
of thread about a quarter Of a yard
long is turned once around the top
Of the middle finger of the right
hand, upon which a thimble IS then
placed to keep it secure. This must
be done privately and the thread
kept concealed, while a needle is
threaded with a bit of thread of
similar length. The thread in the
needle must have one of its ends
drawn up nearly close and be con,
cealed between the forefnger and
the thumb. The other should hang
down nearly as long as, and by the
side of, the thread which is fastened
under the thimble, so that these
two may appear to be the two ends
of the thread. The end of the piece
that is fastened under the thimble
is then knotted, and the performer
begins to sew by moving his hand
quickly after he has taken up the
stitch. 1t will appear as though he
actually passed the knotted thread
through the cloth.

Where Some Flowers Cot Names.

Camelha was named from a mis-
sionary in the orient, kamel. On
his return to France he brought
with him some gorgeous specimens
Of a flower which he called the rose
Of Japan. His friends, however,
gave it his name, CalpeIlia.
Dahlias were brought from Peru
by one Andre Dahl.
Fuchsias were named for their
discoverer, Leonard Fuchs.
MagnoIias received the name of
Professor Magnol de Montpelier,
who first brought the beautiful trees
from Asia and America to France.
Anemone means to tremble WITH
the wind.
Lavender is so called because the
Romans put spray of it IN the
water to perfume the hands. The
Latin word to wash is ''lavare."
