up in glee. Then she slapped a plump
wrist and called 1t another native son,
and again those 1000 men, women and
youngsters rejoiced as though the joke
were fresh out of the almanac She did
some more things equally meritorious,
and the laughter was redoubled at each
spasm. Finally Ellie sang "The Belle of
Avenue AZ" which. of course, Is what
all were waiting for to get in their best
laughs. They got 'em in. That is the
definition of personality. It's what makes
millionaires and managing editors and
Elhe Fays.
The Colonial sextet Is better than ever.
Their pantomime and their music Justify
the Orpheum in booking this act as often
as it can be secured, which is about once
in two years. They are introduced by a
pretty miss in colonial garb who explains
that the event Is Miss Priscilla's Hal
loween party, to which all are invited
but one Is warned that no word must be
spoken under penalty of having to play
the witches horn. All the guests are
able to maintain their silence, though
most delightful opportunities for fiirta-
ton are afforded. But the gorgeous foot
man in a thoughtless moment breaks into
speech and the horn is brought. The
drinking solo on this immense bass in
strument was the novelty number Of the
act rendered more effective by the roll
of thunder and the flash Of lightning as
the deep profundo notes are produced.
The string septets were artistically rem
trombone septets were artistically rem
dered. The favorite quartet, GLORY and
Love to the Men of Old" from Faust
and "Tell Me- Pretty Maiden" were espe-
cially appreciated by the audience.
The holdovers are Teddy Trio, Charlene
and Charlene, Ladell and Crouch and
Bartholdis Cockatoos-not a poor num-
her in the bunch.

Blanche Stoddard as her companion have
trying work, and both acquit themselves
most admirably. Their struggle in the
first act, while exciting the risibles to an
extent, does so only through its apparent
genuinesS.
Charles s. Ruggles as Reginald Lumley,
Miss Fulton's fiance, is entitled to much
credit for his handling OF the exceedingly
difficult scene in the second act. He is
supposed to have made his escape during
delirium from the hospital after having
been run over by kid Garvey's automo-
bile, and visits Miss Fultons temporary
home In order to reassure her. The scene
might easily have been made burlesque,
but thanks to the young actors discre-
tion 1t was impressive.
Harry Glazier as Henry Waterman,
Miss Adele Harrington as his wife and
Howard Scott as Mr.. Fulton added much
to the general effectiveness of the play.
John DAILY Murphy's newspaper reporter
was also very real bit.

CHARGES ATTkMPT
TO MCLNERATE HER
WIFE ALLEGES FALSE ACCuSA.
TION OF INSANITY
Nathan Simon, Says Woman, Tried to
Burn Shop and Then Deserted
Her-Married Under
Jewish Laws

A tale of attempted incineration, of ar
rest on a false charge of insanity, of VI
lation of the Jewish marriage law, under
which she was wed to Nathan Simon and
of abandonment, was told the prosecuting
attorney yesterday by Mrs. Rose Simon,
in an application for warrant against
her husband.
Recently she secured warrant for
threats of violence.
"I will swear to a complaint against
him for arson" said the woman yester-
day. HE poured gasoline over our dye
works at 1908 Central avenue in an at
tempt to burn the place and saturated my
skirt with the fuel When l struck a
match the garment burst into flames and
had it not been for the aid of neighbors
/ would have been burned to death"
She said her husband had gone away
from home when the fire took place and
when he returned she claims he confessed
to her that he had tried to burn the place
In order to get the insurance.
Mrs. Simon says her husband was
efraid she would tell on him and threat
ened her with death If she revealed the
secret of the source of the blaze.
Saturday an insanity complaint was is
sued against the woman under the name
of Mrs Rose Lodinski on complaint of
Mrs Jennie Geller, with whom Mrs.
Simon says her husband has been living
since they separated eleven weeks ago.
Judge James ordered the woman re-
leased. Attorney Wideman, for Mrs.
Simon, says the charge of insanity was
trumped up to discredit her testimony as
to the arson. Mrs. Simon says she will
go today to swear to complaint charg-
ing her husband with arson.
Lodinski was the name of Mrs. Simon's
former husband, whom she married in
Russia He died nine years after they
come to the United States. Two years
later, she says, she married Simon in st.
Louis In both her weddings she followed
the Jewish custom She says at the time
she married Simon she did not know that
license and a civil marriage were re-
quired. She was married according to the
Jewish custom, having two witnesses to
a written contract and plighting OF faith
the ceremony being solemnized by the
placing of a ring on the hnger OF the
bride, according to her story. Her hus-
band destroyed the written document she
alleges.

many hearty laughs as the average
theatergoer enjoys during an even
ing's entertainment The Belasco
players seemed quite at home in their
settings, and all things considered, are
shade better than Augustus Thomas
play.
Tie other Girl" IS not unknown
locally. having been presented at the
Mason a couple of years ago. While
it's situations are amusing, probable and
we'll developed it is marred to some
extent by "talkiness" The first act is
bit overlong, and much of the dia-
logue is either purposeless or excessive
in quality. The same fault may well
be found with the opening of the sec
ond act. But in spite of these faults
the story is interestingly told and the
action sufficient for the purpose of the
play.
Story of the Play
kid Garvey" Sheldon, a champion
prize fighter, while acting as athletic
instructor to a minister meets and be-
comes infatuated with Catherine Full
ton, young society queen" She
also is infatuated and their elopement
is only frustrated when Miss Kittridge,
the young woman's companion, forcibly
locks the foolish girl out of the house,
and in the darkness takes her place in
the waiting automobile.
Sheldon and she in their wild fight
run over Miss Fulton's fiance, and the
"scorchers" are arrested. Bail is ar
ranged and before morning the whole
affair staightens itself out, Sheldon
substituting the name of his own
sweetheart, Myrtle Morrison, an ac-
tress, in the police records for that of
Miss Kittridge in order to mislead the
newspapers and avoid scandal.
OF course the society girl and her fiance
ere reunited more firmly than ever when
all is explained Sheldon gives up his
social ambitions when he finds out the
girl doesn't really love him, marrying The
actress, 1.-The other girl and the matri-
monial tableau for the final curtain in
cludes the minister and Miss Kittridge.
Impossible as 1t might seem to those
who have seen him in other roles, Lewis
S. Stone not only does very commendablo
work as Kid Garvey, but puts the real
spirit of the f1ippant, vain, ring champion
into his acting. His CHEEKY, self conf
dent smile and the swing of him seem to
stamp sport" all over, and his involun-
tary spring into the fighting position when
awakened out of a sound sleep by the
breakfast gong caused furore of ap-
plause.
Vivian as a Dominic
Richard Vivian as the athletic parson is
seen at his best, and his performance Is a
well balanced study of the cleric whose
human emotions still crop to the surface
at unexpected moments, even after years
of repressionary training.
Miss Florence Smythe as the misguided
and infatuated society girl and Miss

TAX COLLECTORS
CLOSE OFFICES
LEGAL HOLIDAYS MAKE MOVE
ADVISABLE
Both County and City Officials Take
Advantage of Governors Proc
Iamatlon to Catch Up on
Their Work

No cash or checks will be received in
payment of taxes at the office of the
county tax collector while the legal holi-
days last Yesterday morning the tax
office refused to receive cash in payment
of taxes but allowed people to mail
checks. Then In the afternoon orders
came saying taxes could not be paid until
the expiration of the legal holidays.
Tax bills will be issued and the office
at 121 North Spring street will be open
for that purpose, but no payment can be
made. County Tax Collector w. O.
Welch was in consultation with the board
OIL supervisors and Deputy District At
torney Hartley M. Shaw in secret ses-
sion yesterday evening and the decision
to stop all payments of taxes was reached
at that time.
The declaration of legal holiday makes
it optional with the tax collector whether
or not he will keep the tax office open
and continue to receive money.
Collector Welch has three weeks in
which to close up the business OF collect
ing taxes and he figures that he can get
through in two weeks if the holidays DO
not last beyond this week. If they should
extend into next week he will have to
commence to receive tax money in order
to finish up in time to present his ac-
counts.
Yesterday afternoon Ine treasurer SSHe
out notice he would not receive checks.
and clerks and constables in justice
courts will now have to insist on cash
payment of fees and amounts due or
take personal responsibility for checks
turned in.i
Closed to Public
Tax Collector johnson yesterday shut
down his office in the city hall to the
public, taking advantage of the legal
holidays to catch up with the heavy
work of the last month.
The heavy rush of taxpayers, larger
than in past years, has kept the force
busy from morning till night and there
has been no opportunity for systematic
checking UP.
At the suggestion of those in toucn
with the situation it was deemed best TO
take a few hours respite.
There had been some question as 20 the
advisability of refusing checks ana IN
sisting on cash payment of taxes last
week. but 1t was finally agreed that
checks would be accepted.
When. however, the city council decided
Yesterday that it's session to be leganzed
must be called under special call, the
tax collector decided to call temporary
halt,

NATHAN COLE FINDS PROSPER.
ITY IN MIDDLE WEST
Says Business Men Regard FURRY as
Temporary, as Crops Alone VIII
Bring Golden Flow Into
United States

Nathan Cole, jr., head of the Pacific
Sugar corporation of Los Angeles, Visalia
and Corona and also a police commits
sioner. returned yesterday from a trip TO
Chicago, st. Louis, Omaha and Lincoln,
Neb., where he went to talk to bankers
and moneyed men.
He brings with him the unanimous ver-
eaict from the men with whom he con-
iferred that the present tightness of money
win be short and that the effect will be
food.
( "The banks will as usual stand the
brunt, and they are doing 1t nobly." said
Mr.. Cole.
THE country is enormously prosperous
and there should be no setback except in
she speculative tendency.
"Wty, the Nebraska crops will bring
$500. 900 alone.
Europe needs our breadstuffs and they
will pay it in a golden stream which
will flow back into our banks.
Railroads will for time probably stop
paying dividends, but not because of de-
preston. On the contrary. they will use
their earnings in new construction work,
getting equipment laying double and
-all because the country Is growing SO
fast that we must expand. There is ho
stopping it,
'4The transcontinental lines are bringing
over 100000 persons to California alone
under the colonists rates. They are
bringing money out here with them.
The trouble is none of our trunk lines
is big enough and good enough to take
care of all the business offered nowadays
ssThe clearing house certificates have
brfdged the difficulty wonderfully well,
and If the boarding of money can be
checked and the money put into safe de-
poslt boxes returned to circulation the sun
will shine once more"

FAIR ORPHEUM PLAYER
ADMITS HER ANTIQUITY

The arrangement of this weeks program
at the Orpheum will commend itself to
those who wish to see the new acts while
they are new without being compelled to
see the holdovers. Three of the hold
overs are kindly placed as opening num-
bers, while the fourth opens the second
olio.
Miss Julie Herne attempts to solve the
problem: Given a girl who loves faithless
man, is 1t better to break her heart at
once by telling her the truth about her
lover, or let her Wear 1t to shreds in the
process of finding out the facts later on?
Miss Herne follows the popular path by
leaving the girl in ignorance and assur-
ing her that her dream shall last. Miss
Herne is so much the actress that she
quite convinces her audience that such is
the only course-until afterward. BE
tween the Acts is a very human play
let, and Miss Herne a very humane ac-
tress.
Four little girls in blue are described in
the program as the Dainty Dancers
They are all that and one of them is
daintier. For timber lithesomeness they
are beyond Improvement. The little
blonde in the center deserves special men
tion. While no one would cast aspersions
on her veracity, yet she must be seen to
be believed. The, four play all manner of
terpsichorean capers all over the stage,
and get the gallery going good and strong
before the stage manager rings down on
them
Tells Her Real Age
Personality, personality, personality.
What is 1t? The answer in this instance
is Elfie Fay. Last night at the Orpheum
she sang songs that were as old as her
stage career, which she told us dates
back to 176-yes-and everybody doubled
