REsoME SWEDISH PLAY,
NOT EVEN REVAMP PED,
RETURNS TO GRAND

Manager Clarence Brown will
emnly and sincerely assure the thea
patronizing public that he has no
re Swedish plays up his sleeve for
, present season the offense of the
,sent week at the Grand will be for
EN-. Since the close Of the stock sea-
/ at the Grand last November, Los
geles has had three of these hurled
it. 1t began with "Tilly" first shake
of the box. Then "Yon" followed
,ckly after, and now comes "Ole." :"
ere is nothing particularly objection
e about any one of these three plays;
is the combination and succession
Il is wearisome. Now If, after "Tilly"
d her visit, the coming of lyon" had
IN postponed until 1908 and "Ole's"
1t until 1910, or Indefinitely, no one
uld complain should ~''Tilly" re-
n at the next biennial period. But
S punching Of Swedish drama has
iemoralizing effect on ones powers
assimilation.
lhe work of Ben Hendricks as "Ole
on" was reviewed In The Herald of
bruary 5, 1906, and as neither the
v nor the actor has improved to any
Sreciable extent since that date there
ms to be no grave reason for repeat
the views then expressed. The
Igs sung by the comedian are the
be as last year. The personnel of
company has almost entirely
lnged and in some respects Inn
we'd. Last year 1t had Miss Con-
y as the soubrette, and this year one
that name presents the supremely
y Irish widow, Mrs. Bridget O'Flan-
5an. Be she the same Conway or
both parts are improved.
here is a tot, yclept Phyllis in the
gram, who is the cleverest actor in
company. She doesn't say word
she has smile that is different
m the property grimace that in
ates pleasure on the stage.
ccording to Hendricks press agent
public demands "Ole"; and much
the actor desires to change from
character he cannot fly in the face
public opinion. There are various
Us of interpreting this. 1t may be
Hendricks cannot play any other
I. 1t may be that "Ole Olson" is
OF those immortals like-well like
Of other plays. There was a full
Use at the Grand yesterday, both
Arnoon and evening, which seems to
lcate that the Swedish play is not
d yet. But in either case 1t is the
ledian's duty to himself and the
lic to recast his play, revamp his
ledy and rustic up at least ONE new
B each season. Otherwise its inter-

1 thought that the police should make
the acquaintance of this clever child, and
mentioned him to a friend on the force
who frequently takes an interest in prom
ising young gentlemen whose friends are
anxious for their welfare. They rounded
HIM up at the city hall just as he was
about to marry an italian flower girl.
The police learned that he comes from
near Tenafy, N. j., and that a few
months ago he beat and robbed his grand
father, an old man, of the savings of
many years, and disappeared. His father
and mother say he is incorrigible and
gave the police his whole history.
Should you wish to aid him further he
can be found at any time during the
next three years at the state reformatory,

PASADENA LADS WIN
GAME WITH ANAHEIM

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 3.-In one of the
fastest games ever played on the Hotel
Raymond diamond the Pasadena league
team defeated the Anaheim lads by a
score of 1 to o. The winning score was
made in the last inning by Hart of
Pasadena on a passed ball. He ran in
from third base and made the home
plate just second ahead of the ball.
A cheer such as the Raymond diamond
has never heard before arose when the
play that won the game for the locals
was made.
Throughout the game Gilroy, the new
pitcher secured by Manager Harry
Dexter, pitched a game that the local
fans have never seen in the local dia-
monds. Hitherto a pitcher who lasted
through the entire game was thing
unknown and Gilroy came out at the
end of the ninth with fresh rosy look
that showed he reeked little about the
strenuosities of the national game.
There were other new faces In the
Pasadena ranks and Preston, the new
man from Azusa, was one of them. He
played an unparalleled game in center
field.
The game was thought to be tie at
the close of the ninth, The Anaheim
lads had shut the locals out with ease
in the previous innings and went into
the field confident that they could shut
them through the last half of the ninth
and get in for chance at a score in
the first half Of the tenth. When the
fatal throw from second to home went
wild Hart dashed down the course and
made the home plate safely.
