COMING ATTRACTIONS

AUDITORIUM-Whet one be de-
voted religionist, seeking to find inspira-
tion and comfort in the triumphs of
Christianity amid all discouragements,
or merely lover OF a highly dramatic
play lavishly produced, '"The Sign of
the Cross" as given this week by the
Ferris stock company in the Auditorium
should make strong appeal. Written by
Wilson Barrett, it is a strilSingly intense
and carefully constructed drama. Laid in
the days Of Nero, 1t gives a faithful pic
ture of this worst time in Roman his
tory, when rioting and sensuosty
reigned, and when it was worth a per-
sons's life to proclaim faith in the lowly
Nazarene Its characters are taken from
history, and its action shows in vivid
reality the trials and prosecutions of the
adherents of the true faith, as well as
the power of Christ to bring to the ban
ner of the cross even the voluptuaries
OF the empire. Miss Stone finds in it
most delightful role as Mercia, the Chris
tian girl, while Joseph Kilgour will play
the heroic part of Marcus Superbus. The
full strength of the company will be aug
mented by an auxiliary force of $50. and
the stage settings, scenery and Access
sories are promised to surpass anything
yet attempted at this house.
BELASCO-Julius Caesar, Shakespeares
powerful, virile drama, will have a big

commencing tomorrow night in her lat
est play from the pen of Clyde Fitch.
1.-THE Girl Who Has Everything" Miss
Irving is we'll and favorably known in
Los Angeles, where her artistic attain
ments have won her a place in the es-
TEEN of local theatergoers. 'The Girl
Who Has Everything deals with New
York life among the wealthy classes. In
it Mr.. Fitch Is said to have written a
play that tells an interesting story Of
everyday life and whose personages and
incidents hold its auditors absorbed un-
til the conclusion. Messrs. Liebler e. Co.
have mounted the piece in their usual
handsome manner.
ORPHEUM-Nance O'Neil will be the
headliner at the Orpheum this week, be-
ginning tomorrow night Miss ONeil
occupies a unique and unassailable po-
sition In the dramatic world. She is un-
rivaled as an exponent of the serious
drama and her appearance in theater
at the popular Orpheum prices means
much to the general public. Her offering
for the first week of the engagement will
be a condensed version of her great sue
cess, 1.-THE Jewess." Mayme Remington
ana her pickannnies VIII present new
bunch of songs and acrobatic dances.
These black gnomes made good here a
year ago and are assured of a cordial
welcome when they appear tomorrow
night. The Four Golden Graces are a
quartet of pretty young women who offer
a series of statuary poses. The descrip
tive part of their title is taken from the
fact that the young women use powder
of metallic luster to conceal their flesh

semblance of bronze. Tom Nawn will

pretty love story as we'll. Miss Gertrude
Rutledge, recovered from her recent ILL
ness, returns to the cast and will sing a
new ballad. She will also be heard in a
quintet comprised of herself, Miss Nell
lie Montgomery and Messrs. Dunbar,
new leading man. Miss Montgomery. Mr..
Dunbar, Mr.. Murray and all the old ia

tractive song offering. Miss Willis Will
liams will appear in character change
act, and Ed Barnes, formerly LEADING
man for the company, will give an exhibi-
ton of rag-time piano playing. New mo-
tion pictures precede the comedy.
UNIQUE-The bill for the coming week
at the Unique promises a variety of
turns, leading off with Robertson and
Fulton, comedy sketch artists, who have
several new stunts. The management
also has secured for a weeks engage
ment Mile Stantonne, violiniste, who will
introduce several novel electrical and pic
ture effects in connection with her play
ing. Another number will be the Mizuno
troupe of acrobats, from Japan and Eu-
rope. Richard Cummings has prepared

so forth. Bonner completed the work
late last night. Then he went home with
the avowed intention of sleeping through
the ensuing twenty-four hours without
interruption.
Jess Bonner began his work as a scene
painter at Indianapolis under the direc-
tion of Walter Clark Bellows at the
Grand opera house. That was eight years
ago. Since then he has been employed
in numerous studios and by several diff
ferent stock organizations He painted all
the scenery for Dick Ferris production
of "The Sleepy King" an i'll starred mu-
sical affair which Mr.. Ferris put out
several seasons ago and which proved a
failure, though it was produced on a
lavish scale and was presented by an all
star cast of musical comedians, headed
by Walter Jones'
Was in San Francisco
For a year and a halfN Mr.. Bonner was
with the Grand and Tivoli opera houses
in San Francisco, his employment there
being terminated by the great fire. In
Chicago he was with the Bush Temple
stock company. In Chicago also he was
employed during several summers at the
Sosman & Lands scenic studios, the
largest in America, and the other night,
happening to drop in at the Mason opera
mouse, ne saw There SCeHe WHICH lie
had painted while in that employ, not
knowing where it was to go or what use
was to be made of 1t.
Mr.. Bonner's work, however, is far and
beyond that of a mere scene painter. He
makes all his own designs. Thus he must
"be up in all styles of architecture, in
all periods of ornamentation; and he
must guard constantly against the intru-
sion of the incongruous and the an
achronistic. This has made him stu
dent and he is today one of the best in
formed men on wide range of subjects
in his profession.
For "The Great Ruby" he painted a
scene in the clouds, nothing of earth be-
ing visible. For Under the Sea" he
painted a submarine scene. So, as he
himself says, his studies are not confined
to earth alone. but to the heavens and
the waters as well. His is comprehen-
sive art and he is master in its execu-
ton. as well as a master in lighting
effects and in all the details of stage
mechanics.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE-Another
yearly visitor at the Grand is billed for
this afternoon and week. Human
Hearts," under the personal management
of the owner, Z. w. Nankeville, has been
coming to Los Angeles ever since the
play was new, more than ten years ago
The story is familiar to every patron of
melodrama and to recall it to memory
it is necessary only to mention Tom Lo-
gan and Jeanette, the confidence woman
whom the blacksmith hero married in
haste to repent at leisure in the prison.
where she and her accomplice sent him
for a crime committed by themselves.
The old governor, the bouquet of yellow
roses and Baby Lillian are other land
marks which will sufficiently identify
Human Hearts in the popular mind.
MASON--Isabel Irving is to appear at
the Mason opera house for the week
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-08

production at the Belasco theater this
week, with every member of the popular
stock organization in the cast. The Ed
win Booth -'ersion will be used, and the
management promises a production of
scenic splendor, which, if managerial ex-
pectations are realized, will set a new
standard for stage pictures at the Belas-
co. Over one hundred specially en-
gagged players will be used in the forum
scene and to people the other big scenes
of the play The assignment of roles
will find Hobart Bosworth as Brutus:
Lewis s. Stone as Cassius; Henry
Gliazier as Marc Antony; William
Yerance as Julius Caesar; Joseph De
Grasse as Casca; Richard Vivian as Oc-
tavius Caesar; Howard Scott as Treben-
ius; Charles Ruggles as Lucius; John
Daily Murphy as Popilus; Florence
Smythe as 7ortia; Adele Harrington as
Calpurnia and the others of the Belasco
in parts in which their individ-
ual talents will have a chance for display.
Following julius Caesar. the Belasco
will offer William Gillette's
we'll known wartime play, Secret Ser
vice." with Mr.. Stone in the Gillette role
of Captain Thorne.
MISUNDERSTANDING with matinee
this afternoon the Burbank theater
stock company will be seen in produc-
tion of Jessie Busley's recent success,
I'm the Bishops Carriage" This will
be the first stock production of the play
and it's premier at popular prices. The
cast will embrace every Burbank fav-
orite. The piece was written by Chan
ming Pollock for Jessie Busley, who
starred in it throughout the country with
uniform success. Blanche Hall will be
seen in the role formerly played by Miss
Busley, while William Desmond will play
the attorney who defends and then falls
in love with his fair client. Harry
Mestayer will act Tom Dorgan. The
play should prove a strong drawing card
at the Burbank.

RICHARD MANSFIELD
AN ELEGY.
For me terrestrial mountains rise;

For me terrestrial mountains rise;
For thee celestial rivers run;
My steps are meath familiar skies,
But thine in realms beyond the sun
This peaceful scene, that does not change,
This smiling vale, SO fair to see,
Those lonely plains. that mountain range
Z So glorious-all were known to thee.
For many a year, in shade or shine.
When life was gay when life was drear,
Thy friendly hand was clasped in mine
Thy form was oft beside me here.
Now. though sought through every land,
I should not feel. in any place,
The pressure Of thy loving hand,
Nor hear thy voice. nor see thy face.
So friendship fades, so love departs;
So living joy becomes a name
Shrin'd in the depth of breaking hearts,
And yet the world remains the same.
The roses bloom. the fields are green,
The branches wave, the streamlets flow
For Nature, ruffled or serene,
Is deaf and blind to human woe,
Thy mind to Beauty was subdued,
In Beauty's service thou vert blest--
Stern warrior in the bitter feud
That would not let thy spirit rest!
The feud that wakes angelic rage.
The war IN which so many tire,
The deadly strife that Art must wage
With mean intent and low desire.
Sleep sweetly, noble heart and true!
The tempest of thy life is Ger;
Nor baffled hope, nor pang OF rue.
Nor any grief can wound thee more!
Sleep sweetly. in that haIIow'd dell.
Far off, beside the solemn sea.
Where tears and prayers WILL constant, tell
The love that lives to mourn for thee.
There wild flowers, emblems OF thy soul,
Around thy tomb will bud and blow,
While Oceans melancholy roll
VIII chant thy requiem, soft and low.
There oft the pilgrims musing gaze
VIII linger on the votive stone
That mutely tells to future days
Thy power and charm, forever flown
And there, in golden time to come,
When all the clamor OF our day
Has sunk to silence, and the hum
OF vain detraction died away,
Fame's Angel hovring DER thy rest,
His amaranthne bough will wave,
Procaiming-Here lies Glorys guest.
Here Genius sleeps in Mansfield's grave!
William Winter, in New York Tribune.

He is the busiest man around the Au-
ditorium. Sedley Brown, stage director,
has his troubles and is fairly busy him
self, but Bonner, when he is engaged
upon a big production, does most of his
sleeping paint brush in hand. Last week
he built THE Sign of the Cross" which
will be the biggest thing yet placed upon
the Auditorium stage. There are four
teen scenes in this four-act play, and
Mr.. Bonner was called upon to turn them
out in eleven days time. He has one
assistant regularly employed = Maurice
Tuttle-and paint boy to help him.
10000 Square Feet of Canvas
For ''The Sign of the Cross production
there was total of 10000 square feet Of
canvas to be covered ana the TASK was
too great. Consequently Arthur HURT
was called upon to assist and Mr.. HURT
painted four drops. which will be shown
for the first time tomorrow night These
drops contain about 1900 square feet of
canvas each, leaving some 24,000 feet to
be painted by Mr.. Bonner and his assist
ant. This includes still other drops, two
interiors, one of them a prison scene
and the other an apartment in Neros
palace; a forest scene, wings, borders and

Jess Bonner is master scene painter.
He has painted and designed all of the
scenes used in the Ferris productions.
Every newspaper in town has commented
upon the beauty of the work. Every pat
ron of the playhouse has marveled at the
lavishness of the productions. Yet few
Of them ever have heard of Bonner, and
probably not one in ten thousand would
recognize him on the street.
