OBSERVATIONS BY
A FIRST NIGHTER

Hy DANIEL FRAWLEY was in town.
the first part of last week, but left
Il later for the north. Like many an
other actor, Mr. Frawley has decided to
make Los Angeles his home He expects
to have a theater here by next summer,
and if present plans do not miscarry, the
house will be operated in conjunction with
two other theaters in San Francisco and
Oakland. Frawley will head the Los An
geles company. James Neill and his wife,
Edythe Chapman Neill will be at Oak
land, land while the San Francisco plans
have not yet matured it is probable that
Herschell Mayall may be the leading man
of the company to be formed there.
Frawley himself is rather reluctant to
discuss the deal. He told me, however,
that he expected to live here and would
be here this winter except for few en-
gagements in vaudeville. DR.. G. w. Bach
man of Los Angeles, author of THE Bear
Flag" and several other successful plays,
has Just completed a sketch for Mr..
Frawley's use, entitled Promptly at
Nine"
Speaking of ''The Bear Flag" the play
will be presented at the Pickwick theater.
san Diego. during Admission week The
first performance will be given tomorrow
night, and DR.. Bachman has gone south
to superintend the final rehearsals. The
costumes were secured in this city, and
the Pickwick stock company will give the
piece production commensurate with its
needs. 1t will be the biggest thing yet
attempted by the company
Miss Hazel Buckham, who will have a
part in the Burbank's presentation OF
"The Woman in the Case this v eek. Is
former Minneapolis girl who, with her
parents, is now living In Los Angeles.
Miss Buckham had her first stage ex-
perience under Dick Ferris and played In
genue roles in Ferris Minneapolis COM
pany during one entire season. She came
to Los Angeles six months ago, ana since
then has done nothing except tne qulep
sister in sThe Climbers" when that Clyde
Fitchism play was staged at the Belasco.
1t may be that Miss Buckham VIII JOIN
the Burbank forces permanently II moi,
she nrobablv will return to the Ferris
fold when that astute manager reopens
his season at the Auditorium. She Is q
decidedly pretty girl. and those who hav0
seen her work declare she can act.
Little Daphne Pollard according to the
management of the Los Angeles lnealer'
Twill nositively make her appearance with
the San Francisco opera company tomor-
row night" Humane Officer Reynolds at
last has been satisfied that Daphne is
more than,16. but it took personal inter
view with the young lady to convince MIN
of the fact.
When Reynolds demanded to see ner ne
was told that he would find little Miss
Pollard in her dressing room. he shocked
on the door, received a Come In by way
of reply, and entered Then he looked
around to see where the voice had come
from. ~
The room apparently was empty. but
after.a considerable search he discovered
the object Of his quest hiding behind a.
powder puff.
Daphne Pollard is only about as big as
a minute and a half. but she probably
never will grow up. She was years old
for something like five years. Then she
was II for three or four years more. and
now, to comply with the law, she is just
past IS.

Burbank company and viii go east. Ed
