the best of feeling existing between them,
and negotiations were declared off.
Friends of Mr.. Stone, however, scout the
idea that he interfered to prevent Mr.
Galbralth's Joining the company, and
say that the disagreement bstween Mr.
Blackwood and Mr.. Galbralth was due
solely to their inability to get together
on the question of sa.ary.
Meantime, while he was in the east,
Mr.. Blackwood, it is said, made arrange
ments for the presentation on the Be-
Iasco stage of a considerable number of
light comedies. in which Joseph Galbraith
was to play the leading parts, Mr.. Stone
being out of the cast. What will be done
with these plays remains to be seen.
They may be presented with Stone In
the Galbraith parts, or the house man
agement may pocket its losses and decide
not to present them at ALL
Members of the Auditorium theater di-
rectorate have decided that horse race

1--WE knead the dough"
This is the reason the members OF the
Ferris stock company at the Auditorium
are entering the bread baking contest that
Dick Ferris and Sparks Berry are to pull
off this week.
Not that it will be any money to them,
but they all want to help the charity
along, while at the same time demon
etrating that hey are clever housekeep-
ers, And as this bread baking has been
heralded as a test of housewifery, and as
some there be who think an actress Is
anything but a home maker, the women
of the company have determined to
SHOW their detractors in good old Mis-
souri, style.
Not that they will compete for the
prizes-perish the thought They will
simply enter for the honors. and to make
things lively. If by any chance one does
win first honors she will gracefully ac-
cept the glory and pass the prize on to
the next contestant.
But all this strenuosity has its funny
side and any one privileged to glance be-
hind the scenes or into the homes OF
women of the Ferris company has good
cause for many grin.
Take the Ferris demesne, for instance,
where Florence Stone labors every morn
ing with the assistance of her maid and
her cook, to master the intricaces of the
staff of life
Now Miss Stone Is a master cook at
some things-welsh rarebit, ducks and
such after-theater messes-but when II
comes to hard everyday eatables. that's
different But she Is making an effort,
and could any one see Ler with her

Eleanor Montell, who has kitchenette

cate desperate effort. With her part in

Anna Bates says she is going to offer

she runs to the dark side of things. She
is stuck on the molasses, and the jug is
her constant companion. With the trick

promises to leave in the mouth of any

after.

George AIDES perennially popular college

leading woman, and Dorothy Bernard, the
new ingenue, In the cast; and the Bur-
bank, Barbara } rietchie' as the weeks
attraction, with special vaudeville mat
inee Thursday afternoon, at which four
one-act plays will be presented Murray
and Mack hold over at the Grand. The
Orpheum has strong bill and the smaller
vaudeville houses announce good attrac-
tibns as well, so that the week promises
much in the matter Of theatrical amuse-
ment.
The Burbank management is planning
a big spectacular production Of THE
Prince and the Pauper." with little Miss
Ollie Cooper in the leading roles, as the
New Years week novelty at that house.
The play may best be described as a
sociological comedy. 1t Is dramatiza-
ton of Mark Twain's famous story, In
which he took the prince of Wales and
made him change places with one OF the
meanest OF his young subjects. The
prince has a decidedly hard time of 1t,
while the pauper finds himself in all
sorts of difficulties as o result Of his
unfamiliar environment.
Miss Copper has Played these dual roles
with great SUCCESS all over the country,
but the play and her winsome self are
both strangers to Los Angeles, so that
the engagement will have all the charm OF
q genuine novelty for local theatergoers.
Joseph Gal braith will not join the Be
lasco stock company, as 1t had been an
noupced he would do. On the other hand,
Lewis s. Stone has signed contract with
the Beiasco management and will con-
tinue at that house for at least another
year. Back of these two facts there is
q story.
Following the managerial announce
ment that Mr. Galbraith would again ap-
pear upon the Belasco etage came a
rumor that Mr.. Stone was not altogether
satisfied with the plan. 1t was even said
that unless certain demands were met
he would resign from the company.
