THE HENRIETTA
IS A GOOD SHOW
BURBANK COMPANY GIVES A
FINE PERFORMANCE
Harry Mestayer and Henry Stock
bridge Alternate In Role Of Berthe
the Lamb-Arthur Rutledge
Does Well as Nick, Jr.

"The Henrietta" that classic of the
stock market and clever satire on
Anglomanacs, is the bill at the Bur-
bank this week. and any one who en-
joys a good laugh will find plenty of
them In IT, Even though one doesn't
care for the Burbank interpretation
If any such there bc-and who still
enshrines In his memory loving recol-
lections of Robson and Crane in the
same drama, will yet find the play re-
viving those memories without shock,
and interpreted I'm fashion to recall
his cherished fancies concerning the
original interpretations, at that. For
the lines of the play are so good that
the most mediocre company could not
spoil It, no matter what II, did to it,
But that Is not saying either that
this company Is mediocre, or that the
play Is spoiled by the Burbank play
ers; not at ALL that is merely gem
eral observation. AS a matter of fact,
to one who has seen and reVeled in the
Robson Crane depletion at It's best, this
present offering Is anything but
shock; i'm fact, it is "a distinct pleas
ure, and that is high praise, indeed.
The Bronson Howard comedy is
doubtless well known in detail here
and scarcely needs even recapitulation.
1t contains many clever type drawings
and requires considerable measure of
skill to bring these out individually
and not to destroy the continuity of
the play. 1t was written some years
back, and playwrghts have improved
greatly in their methods since then,
yet its inherent strength has kept 1t
alive ever since, and that shows better
than anything else it's real worth. 1t
contains much humor, hint of trag-
edy and a considerable measure of
satire, and any lover of any of these
elements will find satisfaction in il.

the lamb yesterday, the latter TAX
ing it at the matinee, and both did
well. They do not slavishy initiate
Robson. but give 1t n cast of their own,
which is praseworthy, and thus they
do not permit of close comparison with
their predecessor. Arthur Rutledge
plays young Nick and does it well,
though bit tragic occasionally. John
Burton buffoons old Nick at times, but
seemingly is earnest i'm his depletion of
the role, and, while one could wish
that he would do it more in the
straight line and not make it so
much of a comedy part still he does
not shock even the remembrance of
Crane. and evidently his sincerity over
balances his natural inability to make
his legs look anything but comical.
Still such q man could hardly be the
master of Wall street.

fact, the entire cast is well balanced
and all play with seeming earnestness
and the effort to make the most of
team work.

Dramatic Notes

Lena 'Ashwell, the English actress
who has met with great success during
her American engagement, has been
obliged to abandon her tour because of
illness.
Robert Edeson, starring in Strong
heart" has secured a new American
play, with strong American character
In 1t, and the production will be made
next season.
OF course 1t was bound to come. "Sa-
lone, having had it's dramatic and ope-
ratio hearing, is to be seen in Vaude-
vile. "The Dance of the Seven Wells"
is to be given by Nine. Pillar Norm and
the Baroness Won Eisner will sing some
songs from the opera at Keith's house,
New York.
Here is the latest Sothern story:
Having been advised by English friends
that to spell "Sothern" without "u"
might be prejudicial to the success of
his English tour, he has decided to spell
his name Southern hereafter. To have
the thing done properly a re-christen-
ing ceremony has been planned, to take
place on board ship going over, when
the "u' will be officially reinstated in
the name of Southern.
Mrs. Warren's Profession is to be
revived, with Rose Coghlan in the lead
ing rOle.
Frank Daniels new comic opera,
which is to have its premiere here next
month, is to be entitled THE Tatooed
Man." and not "Omar" as was at first
intended.
James X. Hackett .4,s acquired the
producing rights to a play by Ramsay
Morris, entitled 1.-THE lGlrl in White"
The piece is to be elaborately mounted.
Victory Bateman is to play the lead
ing role in Parted on Her Bridal
Tour" a dramatizatlon of a novel by
Laura Jean Libbey.
Nat Goodwin is soon to appear in
Little Dorrit, dramatization by Franz

stage costumer to extravaganza. She
looks and acts the prima donna.
The troubadours bring a bunch of
good new music with them. Marie La
Gals sings flirting song which is good.
AL F. Watts sings "Dixie Boy" and the
chorus makes background in patriotic
costumes. Unfortunately the young
women retain these same clothes in the
succeeding numbers thus marring the
good effect of the song.
The plot of the comedy is of no sig
nificance. 1t treats of the trick of a
bunko man who introduces an uncle as
king from Africa in order to win a
Florida heiress' love. She turns the
tables by falling in love with the fake
king.
The chateau scene from Planchette's S
famous opera is we'll rendered. Such
fresh-voiced choruses as are heard in
this company are rare. Black Patti
was the Serpolette and her singing was
pleasing. The act was in agreeable
contrast to the horseplay of the early
afternoon and stamped the troubadours
as being capable of really good vocali-
zation.

Some Vaudeville Jumps

An Illuminating illustration of the &c.
centricities of vaudeville bookins is
given by the route now being "pur-
sued' by Charles Sharp, the musical
German comedian. Mr.. Sharp, who is
being booked by the Orpheum circuit,
opened in Minneapolis the week of Octo-
Der q. Last week he was playing at
the st. Paul Orpheum, and is booked for
Los Angeles in the near future. In the
interim he has been going some." This
is the way he relates the story of his
travels:
I'm other days. when played
Doodles with The Burgomaster' l used
to think there was some travelling in a
season of one-night stands. Not So
The Orpheum sent me from Chicago TO
Minneapolis, that's about 400 miles;
made an early getaway, on Saturday
night and jumped to New Orleans,
opening Monday night, that's about 1000
miles; from New Orleans 1 leaped gaily
up to the Dominion theater at Winn-
peg, which is about 1900 miles; from
Winnipeg / was fired across country to
Salt Lake City, that's about 1000 miles:
at the end of my week in Salt Lake 1
am urged to hasten to st. Paul, another
1900 miles.
This is but half the story, however.
From st. Paul 1 travel over Sunday
and Monday to Denver, another 1000
miles; from Denver I cross the pan
handle of Texas and few minor states
and territories to Mobile, Ala, some
500 mies-where L will tarry one week.
From Mobile 1 am jumped to Fort
Worth, Tex, a paltry matter of 500
miles-and from Fort Worth, Tex, 1
go to Grand Rapids Mich, about HOO
miles, 1 guess. AS near as 1 can figure

playing nine weeks. This makes rue

ALARM FR|GHTENS
SAFE CRACKSMEN
BANK ROBBERS FOILED BY
DEVICE
Attempt Is Made to Rob First National
at Huntington Beach, but
Men Respond with
Guns

A daring attempt was made by
three men, evidently experienced safe
crackers, to rob the First National
bank of Huntington Beach early Sat
urday morning, and, although the men
were not captured they are thought to
be of the same gang which robbed the
Florence postoffice, the office of the
Florence Trading company and the
office of the Watts Lumber company
the same night.
According to the report made to the
sheriff and police, N. B. Parker and
William Manski residents of Hunting
ton Beach and living but short dis
tance from the bank, were awakened
about o'clock Saturday morning by
the sounding of the burglar alarm in
the bank. Both men sprang from their
beds and grasping their revolVers
rushed from their houses.
Together they ran toward the bank,
only to find that the robbers, evidently
frightened by the sounding of the
alarm, had left hurriedly in a buggy
which had been tied in front of the
bank 1t is thought this was the same
buggy which had been stolen from John
Erwin. the Watts grocer, earlier in the
night.
Gall Cashier
Parker and Manske at once sent
message to Cashier f. l.. Blodgett of
the bank, asking him to come to the
scene of the robbery. Mr. Bloodgett
lives several miles from the bank and
did not arrive until about o'clock. In
the meantime officers had been notified
and were on the trail of the robbers,
but did not succeed in capturing them.
When Cashier Blodgett opened the
doors of the bank and entered he found
that an attempt had been made to force
an entrance to the vaults. The turn
ing of the locks had sprung the alarm
with the result that the burglar bell
sounded forth a warning. Nothing of
value had been taken by the robbers,
but had the bank not been equipped
with an alarm 1t is probable the men
would have blown open the safe and
escaped with the large amount of
money it contained.
Il was greatly surprised when
heard that an effort had been made
to rob the bank" said stephen Town
send, president of the bank, last night. :.

onal God and hope in eternal saliva

sonal God and hope in eternal saliva
ton.
This church is dedicated under the
titular feast of the exaltation of the
holy cross, and it stands today as a
testimony of your faith. What more
beautiful titular could you wish? Is not
the cross the symbol of our salvation,
that which tells us much God has
loved us? The feast day is Septem-
Der IA. ...-.
ION this day, many centuries ago, the
holy cross was rescued and a second
time placed in Constantinople and later
in Jerusalem. We know that in the
early part of the fourth century the
mother of Constantine on the Sd of May
found the cross, which, through subse :
quent wars, was captured and not
again until the eighth century was it
recovered and installed in Jerusalem,
where the divine Savior himself had
sanctif1ed it with his blood.
Christ came as the prefect fulfill
ment of all the prophesies and as tho
atonement for all our sins. He was not
satisfied with the sacrifice of his body
and blood, but desired to live with men,
teaching them true knowledge. He es-
tablished his church which was to carry
the cross through the world, that by
this means there should come to all
mankind In all the ages in every cline
This church, like that of the apostles
is not mere meeting house, not a place
where many men will ventilate theories
of religious beliefs, but it is the living
expression of Jesus Christ.
Cross Brought Truth
"The holy cross brought to us the
great truth of redemption, giving us
the means of salvation by which in our
selves we conquer sin and acquire vir-
tue, and also conquer the world to be
lief in religion and in faith in Jesus
Christ as Redeemer and as the teacher
of our life's duties"
The bishop then entered into an eX-
position of the doctrine of the church
relative to the commission by Christ by
which it is authorized in his name to
preach his gospel to all nations. He
said:
Religion is a necessity of our human
nature. God reveals to man his will
as to the religion which is pleasing to
him, and Christ and the church which
he established are the teachers who
alone can give to man the truth of life.
THE church blessed today is new
only in the fact that 1t is another SYM
Dol of that same truth. Its traditions
are as old as Christianity itself, it's
teachings are the teachings of Chris.
tianity and it's obligations are those
which have made the martyrs and
saints of all the ages. The church holds
the credentials of its authority and is
ready to show and prove them to any
sincere seeker for truth"
The bishop urged the congregation
to loyalty to the church, to be Jealous
in the knowledge of religion and faith
full in its practices. and said the holy
cross, the symbol of redemption, was
an inspiration to them, making them
feel that by the cross they had been re-
deemed and by the cross they would OBJ
tain the means necessary for salvation.
The bishop closed by urging earnest
and constant cooperation with their
worthy pastor in working out the prob
lens of the parish organization for ,ne
great glory of God and the benefit TO
themselves and their children.

Every Detail, and Beautifully Fin.
shed Inside in Green and
White and Gold

With the impressive ceremonies of
the Roman ritual, the Holy Cross
church, corner Forty-seventh and Main
streets. was dedicated yesterday morn
ing by Bishop Conaty, assisted by
priests of the diocese. The church,
which is but a temporary building until
the erection of the permanent church
building, is complete in all it's details,
and is in a rustic style that well suits
a chapel. The interior is finished IN
tones of restful green, the three affairs
of white and gold.
Yesterday the decorations were in
green and white, Gala lilies and white
carnations being used. over the main
altar there was a large cross with the
figure of the crucitied Christ. At the
left was the altar of the Blessed Virgin,
which is surmounted by a beautiful
statue of the Virgin and child. The
bishops throne, which was erected near
this altar, was draped with purple ana
gold and festooned with carnations and
smilaX.
The vestments used for the service
were in a golden hue, which made Il
beautiful contrast as the priests in the
sanctuary moved about in the service.
Contrasted to this was the black and
white of the altar boys.
Opened with Procession
The ceremony was opened with the
procession of acolytes, priests and bishop
marching about the outside of the build
ing, chanting the office of dedication.
Following this the procession entered
the church, the professional number,
which was sung by the church choir,
having been arranged in honor of
Bishop Conaty by Rev. It. F. Fahey,
the pastor.
Solemn high mass was celebrated
corum episcopo, Rev. Raphael Fuhr, o.
F. NJ, being celebrant; Rev. Father
Mclaughlin, deacon, and Rev. e. A.

of the mass and Rev. j. M. w. Beaudry
acted In like office to the bishops
throne Rev. Joseph O'Keefe of San
Louis Rey and Rev. DR.. r. K. Cotter
acted as deacons of honor to the bishop.
ReVs. Leo Gariadon and Father Fahey
acted as chanters. In the sanctuary
were Fathers OFlynn. Mcdonald and
Reardon.
A special feature of the service was
the musical program, which was rem
dered by the church choir of thirty
voices and the sanctuary choir of six
the diocese where the boys choir sang
the responses in the service.
Bishop conaty breaches
Bishop Conaty preached the sermon,
robed in cappa magma, and congratu-
lated pastor and people for the work
accomplished in the parish, which is
the youngest in the diocese. He said
in part;
1t is not an unimportant service that
we witness today, the establishing of a
parish center and the setting aside of
this building for the worship of God.
1t is not a passing event, a whim or
caprice, fad or fancy, but earnest con-
viction that God DEGREES of us religion
