DAME RUMOR AGAIN
BUILDING THEATERS

OF the building of theaters-on paper at
least-there is no end Scarcely a
~ week passes that announcement is
not made from some quarter or another
of new Los Angeles playhouse.
The latest suggestion arrived here last
week from Minneapolis where Walter
Hoff Seeley. a Los Angeles real estate
man. was reported to have said that Dick
Ferris. following his coming engagement
at the Auditorium. will have theater of
his own in this city and will make Los
Angeles his permanent home
Then, too. 1t is an open secret that
Daniel Frawley is looking for hackers
with confidence and money enough 10
build him theater in Los Angeles. traw-
ley will not return to San Francisco. he
doesn't want to go to Oakland. What ne
does want Is a cozy little show shop in
this city where he can play such plays as.
he thinks the people will like, under his
own management and with his own COM
pany Negotiations to this end nave been
on the tapis for some time past.
Meanwhile work is proceeding on both
the Blackwoody melodramatic house on
Main street and the Morosco house on
Broadway.
with both Ferris and Frawley installed
in their own theaters and with the Black
wood house in operation Los Angeles
would have no fewer than five stock COM
panies the year around and seven in sea-
son, for the Auditorium, under existing
conditions, must play stock or remain
dark; and the Grand probably will not
relinuuish it's melodrama-loving clientele
without struggle.
The opening of the LOS Angeles theater
tomorrow night under the management of
the Northwestern Theatrical association
marks an important move in Los Angeles
theatrical history. Messrs. Helig and
Cort. heads of the association, are, next
to fSlaw and Erlanger, the strongest en-
trenched theatrical magnates in the coun-
try. They control more than 100 houses
they have numerous companies on the
road, under their own management. and
they have established booking alliance
with the X and E organization which
enables them to secure the best popular
priced attractions in the United States
The best seats in the house will be sold
at 81. and in all probability companies
viii play at that price here which else
where charge s1.50 or even g.
The Los Angeles is small theater, and
it must be kept filled all of the time In
order to pay expenses at the prices estab-
lished However it has this advantage
over the large houses. Every seat In ths
auditorium is comparatively close to the
stage.

will have an important role. Another new
face will be that of Dan Kelly, who will
appear as an Irishman. Lew Dunbar,
Dutch comedian. has part we'll suited to
his abilities, and vivacous Kate Carlson,
the soubrette. will be seen at her best.
Bessie Jardinere will play in the role of a
servant. Briefly the story is of an old
village apothecary who marries young
woman from Boston. He finds out later
that she has numerous other husbands
In fact they seem to be as numerous as
the colors of the rainbow, ones name
being Green, anothers Brown, etc. Mo-
ton pictures and one of the neatest vau-
deville stunts ever staged at the First
street playhouse are on the bill
UNIQUE-The management of the
Unique has secured for the coming week
Ed Tannehill and Lola Radcliffe in the
sketch, "A Tenderfoot on the Trail"
These two artists are coming to Los
Angeles direct from the leading eastern
circuits. Belle Gordon, the athletic girl
who claims to be the champion woman
bag puncher of the world. is also on the
olio, together with Stanley and Scanlon,
musical specialists. The Uni&ue comedy
company will appear in snappy farce
comedy "The Half Bread" Tracy Nc
Dermott will sing the illustrated songs
and the entertainment will conclude with
the usual interesting moving pictures.

Twenty yers ago the booking was done

The players are numbered one, two.

The player number one has the first

AS there are no court cards the one is
considered as the ace.
The naught is the joker and can pair
with anything.
When there are more than five numbers
on the tag, the first numeral to the left
does not count.
When over four numbers of the same
denomination appear upon the same tag
then the first four are only considereo

represented a hand in poker.
A quick eye, absolute honesty ana
plenty of money is all that is really neces-
sary to play this game.

has scorned to become reconciled to the
changed conditions.
Forced to live always with the Stars
and Stripes waving above her, Miss
Hall has counteracted as best she
could this token of the submission to
her country by wearing always half
concealed among her snowy curls a
small Confederate flag.
Miss Hall has many priceless posses
sions handed down to her from the
old days Among them is a valuable
ring which was worn by a dearly be-
loved brother. Another ring In her
possession was bequeathed to her al

Lewis PeabOdy'S
ReVerSeS.


With heavy heart Lewis Peabody
left his counting room at half-past
three. 1t was a period Of commercial
disaster, and for three months he had
succeeded only by desperate effort In
keeping his head above water.
But to-day the crisis has come. Two
heavy notes have come in which he
had been unable to lift, and his busi-
ness friends had been unable to help
him. The result was, he had gone by
the board.
There were other considerations
which made the blow fall more heavily
upon him. He was no longer a young
man. He had passed the age Of forty
five and had a wife and four children
dependent upon him. He could scarcely
expect any help from them, since they
had been educated to extravaganza
tastes, and scarcely day passed that
he was not importuned for money TO
crafty some new whim. In fact aside
from this, he knew very little OF Them
like most business men, his mind had
been so engrossed by his business that
he only met his family at meals, and
not always then.
THE tendency In substance Is TO
change the position Of the husband ana
father to the treasurer Of the family,
70 whom all look for the means OF
gratifying their tastes.
Yet II Is not to be supposed that
there was no tie Of affection between
Mr.. Peabody and his family. On the
contrary, being a very goOd-natured
man directions through circumstances
mad stood In the way Of that full and
entire sympathy that should have
existed.

tho children Will take it." he said to
h,maolf despondently. 'They have

Mr. Peabody had himself to blame
IN mart for this state of things. He
nod never made a conftdant Of his wife
IN business matters, and the most she
t,row Of It was that her husband most
ali of the time gave her plenty OF
money She believed he was rich' and
never thought Of a time that 1t would
