He was no coward; nay. rather, men
had even called him brave. At the peril
of his life he had stopped runaway
horses had plunged into the sea to
rescue child from drowning, and had
gallantly charged UP San Juan hill in
the face of Spanish bullets. But now
his face paled and he trembled.
ST dare not,p he muttered. But,
he added resolutely5 "since she whom l
vowed to love and cherish has asked 1t
of me, 1 will not falter.'
So, with calm courage and resolute
mien he descended to the kitchen to dis

GRAND PRESENTS A NEW
OWEN DAVIS MELoDRAMA

The twenty-third shot rang out on the
stage of the Grand yesterday afternoon,
and several men in the audience, perhaps
taking the cue from the number, reached
for their hats and made for the exits. The
villain had fallen victim to Myrtle Sell
wyn's unerring aim. Close beside him was
woman in whose body the twenty y-second
wing, presumably, was another dead one,
number unrecorded. The hero survived,
though twice sorely wounded by bullets
number seven and sixteen, while the other
eighteen shots punctured the scenery or
the roof of the theater.
The final climax was followed by what
is known professionally as a "slow cur
tain." And right here the audience paid
the highest tribute in its power to play
wright and players. Men and women in
the house who had not kept count Of
those shots, and who, consequently, had
not appreciated the skidoo cue, called an
grily to the others: "Sit down." They
must have known the play was over, but
they wanted to see that final tableau.
Work of Owen Davis
The mel lodrama presented is by Owen
Davis, and is one of the most thrilling
affairs that distinguished meiodramatist
has given us this season. 1t Is known as
"The King and Queen of Gamblers" and
it has more sensations to the square inch
than the ordinary melodrama has to the
acre. Moreover, 1t has been given an
elaborate production from scenic stand
point. Apparently the Ulrich company
has kept the best for the last, and pur-
poses to close it's season in blaze of
smokeless powder and glory
The story has to do with the efforts of
a gang of desperadoes to. secure from
pretty Florence Barker the paper" which
confirms her title to mine worth mil
lions In stage money. Her chief defender
also is a gambler with whom. of course,
she falls in love. The story, however, is
unimportant and obtrudes itself only be-
tween thrills,
Attempted murder is so common in this
play that it ceases to thrill the audience
long before the fourth act is ended. There
is also an attempted lynching, and nu-
merous other similarly criminal diver
sions. In one act Miss Barker Is bound to
the mouth of a cannon and the fuse ig-
nited or course she is released Just In
time to escape a horrible stage death.
Acting Under Difficulties
Much Of the time some one Of the char
acters ''has the drop" on one or several
OF the Others Consequently the actors
do a fair share Of their acting with their
hands above their heads, but they are
used to 1t and make no complaint.
Apart from the gun play there is pyro-
technical exhibition of cuss words, intro
duced doubtless to provide local color"
Even Miss Myrtle Selwyn swears occa-
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-14

sionally and effectively. In fact, Miss
Barker is about the only member Of the
cast who doesn't, and once or twice she
looks as though she would like to, II the
author only would permit 1t.
Lillian Hayward as the gambler queen
has one of the best roles which have fallen
to her lot this season, and she played 1t
much more slxillfully than she played her
cards in the gambling scene. Miss Barker,
Miss Selwyn. Sterling whitney, Lawrence
woodward, Joseph de Grasse, Leslie King
and Earle Gardner all are in good form,
especially Miss Selwyn, whose costume re-
veals the fact with some frankness.

"BLASPHEM0US BROADWAY
SEES MANY GO TO PIT"
Or. Henry of the First Baptist Church
Points Out to Congregation
Many "Short Cuts to
Help

"Short Cuts to HelT' was Dr. Henry's
topic at the First Baptist church last
night. He said in part: The age is fast.
Many gallop from the cradle to the
grave. Life is intense, and destruction
is swift. Character crystallizes with
amazing rapidity. Doom is frequently
sealed in a surprising and sudden man
ner. Fast life always means swift death.
The wicked do not live out one-half
| their days. Epochs and events develop
with striking celerity. The descent into
| the pit Is made with lightning speed.
Many question God, outrage his plan,
| cavil at his providence, laugh at his
entreaty, while their destruction cometh
| as a whirlwind.' The eternal laughs
| lions are Fastening to their DOOM There
are many ways from the modern world
into the bottomleSs pit.
"Great companies are travelling down
the path of pronigacy into perdition,
the selfish the sordid, the sensual, the
.besotted, all who make the qualification
of fleshly luStS their first consideration
are permanently doomed to the tyranny
and torment of .undying desire. The
prodigal is thoroughly up-to-date. The
glutton, the drunkard, the unclean, the
brutal, forge in the hot fires of their own
passions and luStS chains which will
shortly bind them hand and foot, and
cast them into outer darkness. The sins
of the body often defile and damn the
soul.
"Others make the sharp descent into
the lost world from the daring heights
of Mount Conceit. The naughty, pre-
sumptuous, and defiant travel a short
cut to gloom. The proud and the self
willed inevitably perish. God reigns.
Only those who bow to his authority,
surrender to his perfect will, avail
themselves of his cleansing and strength
can ultimately triumph. The mere NOR
alist, the self-righteous and the self
| buckler of the Almighty and are wound
| ed unto death.
"In our day Lawless Lane is thronged
with curious crowd. False notions of
liberty, exaggerated individualism,
amounting at times to moral savagery,
as well as low-browed skepticism, count
their victims by the millions.
Moral Anarchy Is Doom
"Moral anarchy, spiritual nihilism and
reckless rebellion against God can only
precipitate the judgment of lost world.
Obedience to law is the life of liberty
while disobedience to law rings the
death knell of freedom. This is true of
divine as we'll as human government.
The determined effort to get rid of all
legal and moral boundaries stings many
soul to death.
