CHILD ACTRESS AT
0RPHEUM A MARVEL

1t is an old saying that all rules fade
before the light of genius, and although
1t Is a dangerous thing to try to dis
cover genius in Il child, there is little
girl at the Orpheum this week whose
abilities set all the dramatic rules up
side down.
1t is hard to conceive Of little miss
whose eyes reflect the light of but eight
suns understanding the deep tragedy
that Is portrayed in the church scene in
Leah the ForSaken." and yet Seville
Vaudeville who i'll fact does not look
her age, acts this scene with n power
and sincerity which would put the work
of many an experienced actress to
shame. Perhaps it is only the trick OF
mimicry. but even so it is genius. She
possesses versatility too, for her "Seein'
things at night from James Whit
comb Riley, was no less artistic than
her Leah. This eerie little maiden is
one of the most interesting PERSONAL
tiles that has been seen at the Orpheum
for long time.
The three ISloes sisters have an act
consisting of stunts on the Roman rings
which is unusually good, but the
comedy hold-oVers from last week form
the most entertaining parts of the bill
chiefly because they are good and also
because In every case there is new
material so the show is practically new
from beginning to end. James T.
Thorne and Grace Carleton, Clayton
Kennedy and Matte Rooney, Raymond
Flnlay and Lottie Burke, the Bellclaire
brothers and Paulo and MARROW make
up bill we'll UP to the Orpheum mark.

FORGIvES ERRING HUSBAND
Mrs. Henry Hynes Embraces Spouse
When He Is Released by Court
on Probation

Henry Hynes, who was arrested last
Saturday on a charge of drunkenness,
was arraigned before Judge Austin
yesterday morning and sentenced to a
fine of $50 or fifty days Imprisonment.
The police judge, after scoring the man
heavily, released him on probation with
the warming that if he again touched
liquor he would be obliged to serve
the sentence or pay the fine.
In an obscure corner of the court
room sat Mrs. Hynes, whom. it is said,
the man has abused for more than two
years, compelling her to work in a
laundry while he was a good fellow
with the young bloods of the town.
When Judge Austin released the pris-
oner on probation Mrs. Hynes rushed
TO her husband, threw her arms around
his neck and sobbed like child.
Hynes is a theatrical performer, who
is said to have become respondent be-
cause Of his failure to find work in this
city. Shortly after coming here he took
to drinking heavily, 1t is said. Satur-
day he was arrested and locked up in
the city prison.

cARVES WIFE WITH MACHETE
Mexican Convicted of Brutal Treat
ment of Woman Sent to the
Penitentlary

Convicted of having cut and slashed
his Wlfe's face with a machete, Cenon
Garcia, "A Mexican. living near the Ger
ritos sugar factory on the Long Beach
line, was sentenced to two years. i'm
urisonment in San Quentin prison yes
terday by Judge Smith in department
one Of the superior court.
The details of the crime were so
brutal that it required but few mo-
mcnts to determine the mans guilt.
Several weeks ago Cenon decided to
have little celebration in his shack
near the beet farms. He invited a few
of his friends and number of women
came with them. Cleofas Villa, a Mexi-
can woman, who lived with Garcia as
his wife, was one of the party and all
became intoxicated. Then a fight en-
sued and one of the Mexicans cut Gar
cia's nose off.
The guests ran and the host finding
he could obtain no redress from those
stronger than himself went back to
his shack and attacked his wife.
She fell to the floor and he stamped
on her face and then cut her cheeks,
forehead, chin and shoulders with a
machete.
When arrested the little woman tried
to defend Garcia, but the officers soon
learned the facts.

The Shylock of Mr.. James was the
now generally accepted version. He
made the Jew no demon, but Il man

feature of the performance.
One or two members of the company
expressed some symptoms Of ability,
but the lack of harmony in the cast

made. Every player pitched his voice

Complaints From Consumers

81 as has been the case since the estab-
lishment of the office of gas inspector.
This action was taken by the city
council yesterday and was the result of
II recommendation made by Gas In
speotor Jordon In his annual report.
"It seems that people have not been
complaining half as hard lately as they
did before we established the Office of
gas Inspector" said Councilman Smith
yesterday. II believe it is due to the
fact that the fee is too high, and we
should cut it in two and have more OF
