CALVE TO SING AT
OPENING OF 7 ElNPLE
viii Be Assisted by Artists of Ability
Whose Playing Has Created
Furorc in the
East

Madame Emma Calve. most interesting
and delightful of ALL will be heard in
concert in this city December II, when
she will appear at the New Shrine tenn
pie, supported by her own organization.
Manager Behymer, who has charge of
the local end of the enterprise, announces
this as the most important musical event
of the current season.
1t is unnecessary at this late day to
comment at length upon the art of
Madame Calve.
Not only is she great singer, but
she Is a consummate actress as well.
She combines lyric perfection and i'm
aginative acting in such a remarkable
manner that she is at once the despair
and delight of the musical critics of both
the old and the new world.
Exceedingly temperamental and emo
Itional, she infuses into her concert sing
thy which make her stand pre- eminent.
| 1t is because Of her ability to reach
the heart of her auditors as we'll as their
critical intelligence that she is the most
popular of all the great divas.
| The new Shrine temple, in which she
will sing, is the finest auditorium in the
state of California and one Of the finest
In the United States.
Its acoustic properties are perfect and
the seats are arranged in such a manner
that an unimpeded view of the stage can
be had from any part of 1t.
Madame Calve will be assisted at her
local concert by two artists Of excep-
tional virtuosity, viz, Mile. Renee Che
met, young French violinist whose
playing has created somewhat of fll-
rore In the east, and M. Camille De-
creaus, the accomplished pianist, who ac-
companied her on her tour two seasons
ago.

TO PRESENT NEW PLAY
ON LOS ANGELES STAGE

When Florence Roberts comes to the
Los Angeles theater Christmas week she
will present, in addition to "Zira," a
new modern play entitled "Sham," and
which has been written for her by Geral-
dine Bonner and Elmer B. Harris. The
piece will be presented in Los Angeles
for the first time on any stage. If 1t
proves a success it will be used by Miss
Roberts later during her New York en-
gagement.
Florence Roberts was at one time a
member of the Burbank stock company
in this city. Since then she has re-
turned here as a star and always with
gratifying success. She has many friends
in Los Angeles who will be glad to know
that she and her company are expected
to arrive here a week from today and
to have a weeks vacation before opening
their engagement. This temporary re-
spite from work has been requested by
Miss Roberts to permit her to renew old
friendships in this city.

Edward j. Garvin, president and gen.
eral manager of the Garvin Cyanide

to aid in the search for him.
Mr.. Garvin is a married man and has
one child. His home life and business
associations are said to have been
pleasant and satisfactory. 1t is al
legged, however. that the business of
his company has not been in the best
of shape, but there was nothing whicn
could not have been arranged satisfac-
toriIy or which would have caused MIN
to go away voluntarily
November 23 he left the office of the
works at 1885 San Fernando street TO
meet man at the Equitable Savings
bank, at First and Spring streets.
Who the man was, or whether he met
him is unknown, as Mr.. Garvin has not

his movements but have not been able
to find anything about him.

AUDITORIUM WILL OFFER
"THE SIGN OF THE CROSS"

Music will be a special feature Of 1.-THE
Sign of the Cross" which the Ferris
stock company will put on at the Audi
torium tonight. Old Roman airs, such as
were doubtless played in the days of
Nero, will be sung by a chorus of fifty
voices under the direction of ]. P. Dupuy.
A special quartet, composed of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Balfour, Miss Carrie Thomas
and George Dunwell. will also appear,
their part being to render the Christian
chants, a number of Gregorian examples
being employed to add realism and at
mosphere to the production. The orches-
ira has been largely augmented and Di-
rector Cammyer has been rehearsing
selected entire acte music for the occa-
sion.
The work of preparing "The Sign of
the Cross has lasted two weeks. The
back drops, seventeen in number, II
placed end to end, would stretch almost
four city blocks. Besides these are many
side wings and special set pieces, the
whole scenic equipment being new and
painted especially for this production.
the drama. The costumes have been
brought direct from New York for the
occasion.
Owing to the magnitude of ''The Sign
of the Cross" the curtain will rise sharp
at o'clock every night, and at 2 o'clock
for matinees. Manager Berry asks that
special attention be given to this fact, as
the opening scene is one of the most
beautiful, and late corners will miss the
thread of the story.

to break bounds and she gladly agrees

How the two kill Tom Logan's father

Tom goes to prison and after two years

how Ruth Larkins. who loved him when
they were both children, marries him and
both are happy ever after, is set forth

than that in Human Hearts, There is
the bull that bellows realistically, the
tramp that gets chased by the bull. the
aged coon whose sole business in life is
to be faithful to the hands that feed
him, the "yaller' roses that clinch the
mothers argument for the pardon of her
son, the insurrection in the prison, the
pursuit of the guilty pair and the child,
the death of the woman at the hands
of the man who tempted and betrayed
her, and the final parchment "As ye SOW,
so shall ye reap
All of which for four acts, or two at
matinees is surely full measure, heaped
up and running over.

ARMED THIEF
ROBS WOMAN
STEALS SMALL CHANGE FROM
CASH REGISTER
FORCES PROPRIETOR OF PLACE
TO WATCH ROBBERY
Leaves Place After Threatening
Frightened Victim and Succeeds
in Evading Officers Sent to
Arrest Him

Mrs. Joseph Benkert, wife of the pro.
prietor of small grocery and confec-
tionery store at 51S Also street, was held
up and robbed by masked highwayman
shortly after o'clock last night
The robber entered the store while Mrs.
Benkert, who was alone, was u a rear
room. He walked to the end of the short
counter and wast behind it when Mrs.
Benkert, hearing his steps, came from the
rear room.
The man was dressed in dark clothing
and a black slouch hat. He had q black
silk handkerchief tied over the lower part
of his face as mask.
AS the woman came to the doorway he
leveled a revolver at her and cried,
Throw up your hands and give me your
money"
Mrs Benkert promptly complied with
the order to throw up her hands and
stood while the robber backed his way to
the cash register, which he opened with
his left hand while he still kept the lew
eled pistol pointed at her.
From the compartments of the cash
drawer he took small change amounting
to about $40, which he placed in his side
coat pocket. He then backed from be-
hind the counter and to the door Of the
shop
Keep quiet and don't give an alarm
or you will be worse off, was his parting
admonition. He then ran out of the door
and disappeared ast on Alisn street
The police were notified. but by the time
Sergeant Redmond and several officers
arrived the man had vanished.
Mrs. Benkert was unable to give good
description of the robber, as she was too
frightened. She stated, however, that he
was about feet or inches in height.
and, so far as she could judge, was
young man.

SON CONTINUES WORK
STARTED BY FATHER
Second Night Of Murphy Temperance
Meetings Is Great Success
and Many Sign
Pledges

The second night of the Murphy tenn
perance meetings under the leadership OF
William Murphy, son of the late temper
ance apostle, was a marked success last
night.
Blanchard hall was crowded with those
who came to listen to the words of Mr..
Murphy and others who spoke on the
temperance question.
w. G. Patterson presided, and in his
preliminary remarks eulogized Francis
Murphy and his life.
Rev. S. L. Todd led in prayer. Rev. Mr..
Hendry read the Scripture lesson, which
was followed by a solo by Bev. Mr.. Todd.
Mr.. Daily was the first speaker intro
duced. He spoke of the hardships he en-
dured in the throes of intemperance and
the happiness and prosperity derived from
a sober life after signing and keeping the
Murphy pledge.
Mrs. M. S. Baker, with a sweet soprano
voice, sang solo.
Frank Pratt spoke in his earnest, COM
prehensive manner regarding the evils of
intemperance and expressed his belief
that the saloons would close in Los An

Mr.. Richardson said that William Muir
ply was the bright light in the temper
ance work, but he did not expect to fill
the place of his father, as there was no
man who could do 1t; that the father had
been the means of the signing of more
temperance pledges than any other man
in the world.
William Murphy prefaced his remarks
with an amusing story which was re-
minder of the methods of his father often
times. Mr.. Murphy glided from the comic
to the pathetic, showing UP the evils cf
intemperance in words of eloquence
He spoke of the peculiarities of people
in their social and religious methods; that
the former was tempered much with
money and the latter with the modernized
variety.
Throw Out the Life Line" was sung,
and the usual urgent call for the signing
of the pledge was given. A large number
responded and donned the well known
blue ribbon.

"HUMAN HEARTS" REPEATS
ITS EARLIER SUCCESSES

Whether it is because good play
never grows old or because a bad one
may be so bad that 1t cannot be killed,
or for some other reason, the fact stands
that Human Hearts" came back and
played to an audience yesterday as large
as that of last year and the year before
that and the preceding year and maybe
four years ago.
Why Human Hearts, should thus hold
the patronage of people who have seen
1t year after year is not easy to de-
eide, for better plays have met an un-
kinder fate at the hands of the faithful
patrons of the Grand. Perhaps it is the
pictures on the billboards; perhaps it is
the title; perhaps 1t is habit. Habit ac-
counts for many strange phenomena.
The Grand was occupied to the last
seat in the last row in the last gallery.
The play was the same as last year. The
players were also the same as last year.
Tom Logan is the hero of Human
Hearts Tom is a country blacksmith.
Tom went one day to the city and met
woman of certain class who was so
greatly impressed with his honesty and
innocence that her life palled on her and
she decided to try seclusion and homely
love in the Arkansas hills with her black
smith lover. They married, and at the
time of the play have one child. little
