VOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN
I OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

M Y. but my sympathies went out to
| IVA the poor little chorus girls in
\ 1.-The Californians" at the Audi
torium last week; and especially on the
opening night. They We're so conscious
of their legs
OF course, every girl has legs, and
every one knows she has 'em, but they
are not usually a subject for general
. conversation or observation among her
masculine friends. That chorus was
recruited right here, and it's members
male acquaintances had been thorough
ly informed of the debut of each proud
girl and told to be at the opening
robin Hood" calls for full tights in
act II; perhaps they didn't. But it
does. And when that second act cur
tain went up and each girl had to
march down front and subject her
neither extremities to the gaze and crit
ical comment of her men friends
ugh!
How did know that the men friends
were there? l sat in the second row
myself And men will chatter, same as
girls.
Dick Ferris, who still fingers "in our
midst" keeping managerial eye on
his interests in 1.-THE Californians,"
insists that Otheman Stevens will be
up in critical arms If 1.-TWO Little
Girls" the new musical play that is
attracting no end of attention in Chi
cago, ever comes to Los Angeles dur
ing the Stevens regime on the dramatic
critics desk. One of the comedians in
1.-TWO Little Girls is made to remark
that lone hair on the head Is worth
three in the Brush l believe it.
Ollie Morosco has been laid up at his
home on Carondelet avenue with q
serious attack of tonsilitis, and the
genial manager of the Burbank was
forced to forego the pleasure of wit
Messing the enthusiastic reception ac-
corded to Blanche Hall in when
Knighthood Was in Flower" Ollie's
physician predicts that his patient will
soon be around and doing once more.
Personally I've always inclined to the
belief that Mr.. Morosco took advan-
tage of these sick spells to lie abed and
think out plots for new plays.
Bradlee Martin and the Belasco pay
roll will know each other no longer, for
Martin sewers his connection with. the
stock company tonight. When asked If
Martin has resigned of his own volition
or at the request of the management,
JACK BlackWood said: When any or
our actors leaves us he always re-
signs. It's more artistic as well as
temperamental to resign"
Harry Wyatt has put in new auto
mobile in his stable, hitherto devoted
exclusively to the housing of his
splendid horses. I asked Harry the
other night as to the why and where
fore of his Thomas Flyer and he told
me that one one or two occasions he
has wanted an automobile and was
charged so outrageously for a few
hours pleasure that he concluded he
had better buy a machine himself, use
1t whenever he cared to and put 1t on
a street corner for rental purposes at
other times and make some money out
Of the automobile industry.
Jack Blackwood asked Eleanor Carey,
the Belasco character woman, the other
If she were not really ashamed |
to step up to the paymasters office and
sign her name every Saturday morning. 4
Miss Carey said Certainly not" The1
query was occasioned by |
the fact that Miss Carey has not been |
IN the Belasco bills for almost six |
weeks now, with the prospect of enjoy
ng further vacation-on full pay,
bear in mind-of fortnight. Miss |
Carey Is at once the envy and admira- |
