NO ROOF ONALCAZAR THEATER
M Management of Beasco Is Having
Hard Luck with San Francisco
PLAYHOUSE

Frederick Belasco head of the firm
that owns the Beiasco theater in Los
Angeles is here taking a look at his
local interests. He said last night that
everything was running so we'll here
that he had nothing more to do than to
smile pleasantly. But in San Francisco
1t is different.
II have been trying for weeks to get
a roof over the Alcazar theater which
we are rebuilding there" said he, but
we haven't begun on 1t yet. 1t will be
well along into April or May before it
can be opened. We had expected to
be in II before Christmas, so we are
several months behind. But everything
is behind there and we are no worse
off than the rest. The San Francisco
weather has been worse than l have
ever known, and that is retarding

BASHFUL JUSTICE BALKS AT
OSCULATORY PART OF CEREMONY

have been termed a peach" But the
justice read out that ceremony without
daring to look at the girl or the groom
and he never once said anything about
kissing. Incidentally, he never even
recommended to the groom that he
ought to kiss the bride at the close of
the ceremony and some of the court
officers who stationed themselves near
the Justices Office i'm hopes OF seeing
the little justice start trouble at the
very beginning We're greatly disap-
pointed.
Since that time the ldssicss ceremony
has been quite popular. In days zone
by Justices Pierce and Young used 20
be at swords POINTS i'm bidding for the
marrying trade. Nov that is over with
and stephens has as many as he can
marry and often a few more without
requesting their attendance at his Of
flee.
oh, The kisslcss marriage is ropa-
lar, I guess, said Justice Stephens yes
terday
Il have heard that others justices
kiss The bride, but. YOU see, | am not
used to kissing brides. The groom may
kiss the bride if he wants to- l DO noe
say anything about that for the groom
generally looks embarrassed enough
without further cause. The bride gem
orally expects II, but she can wait till
she has stepped out into the hall be-
fore receiving the salute. At any rate
know it would embarrass me to be
told to kiss my bride right out before
the people present at the ceremony and
| have some sympathy for the groom
You see, when they come to me to be
married they pay the regular fee for
the ceremony and that makes them my
clients. Now, / would not think of
kissing my client and | would not take
the liberty TO suggest to one of my
clients that he ought TO kiss another
Of my clients.
They all seem to like the ceremony
becausc it is short and very private
and the bonds are quickly tied
But the other justices do not enter
tain the kindliest feelings in the world
for Justice Stephens for setting a new
example and destroying one of their
pet prerogatiVes.
