KEEP SCHWEGEL
AND ASK MORE
COUNCIL INSISTS ON SANITARY
RESTAURANTS
Names Three Inspectors to Watch
Eating Houses and Fourth
to Keep an Eye on
Bakeshops

All but Councilman Wren Voted for
the new ordinance creating three res
taurant inspectors and one bakeshop
inspector at yesterdays session of the
city council.
Mayor Harper recommended the
measure, it being understood that the
bill was drawn up in order to retain
Restaurant Inspector Nick Schwegel In
office. Schwegel made a splendid rec
ord during his emergency appointment,
but in his examination got a low per-
centage in some respects because his
education in arithmetic was CLEANED at
foreign schools. This in no way Inn
pairs his efficiency for the work the
board of health wants him to do. Be-
sides several influential restaurant men
whom Schwegel forced to observe sani-
tary rules in their kitchens threatened
to "get his job" and several depart
ments of the city government are de-
termined to keep the man in office be-
cause of his remarkable faithfulness to
duty.
AS there are two men besides Schwe-
gel on the eligible list of the civil SER
vice commission, all three will be made
inspectors Two of the restaurant
and the bakery inspectors will get $100
a month and the third restaurant in
spector $780,.
one of the principal duties of the
bakery Inspector will be to see that
bakers while at work wear white gar
ments sufficiently ample to keep per-
spiration from getting into the dough,
complaints on this score having been
repeatedly made to the health depart
ment. Vermin must also be kept out
of the bakeries.

THAH most subtitle and womanly of
Shakespeare's characters. Viola, in
Twelfth Night" which so many
actresses essay and SO very few prop
erly delineate, was admirably por-
trayed by Viola Allen at the Mason
last night and the entire play was ex-
cellently given by we'll balanced and
thoroughly competent company amid
an environment artistic and satisfying
in the extreme. Los Angeles will fare
far and look long ere it sees it's equal.
Shrewd indeed must the treatment
be of this elusive heroine, viola-this
woman of varying perpleXities and ten
der disposition. OF all the masters
feminine evolvements, she is perhaps
the most difficult The woman too
often who Is experienced enough to
differentiate and express her emotions
is too old to satisfy the eyes craving
for the .girlish beauty inherent in ones
conception from the text; and on the
other hand, the peach-bloom youth that
a less mature maiden would possess
generally precludes complete realiza-
tion of the parts romance. Thus Viola
presents problem far more difficult
than those other two companion women,
Juliet and Rosalind.
Miss Allen fortunately and almost
alone both looks the part and has the
ability to give it the proper finish and
artistry that comes with time and much
technique. She has natural fascination,
that gets over the footlights and
touches closely those who are we'll
aware of her boyish disguise as loves
messenger. Her Viola is charmingly
real girl She Stimulates sauciness,
while yet making it plain that the
worm T. tn bud is feeding on her
damask cheek. She is theN ideal in
genue; she is the embodiment of the
Shakespearean text in usual beauty OF
face and form, in admirable reading or
lines, in atmosphere and in femininity
Even at times she seems to step be-
yond the text. Most cleverly does Sne
introduce her secret yearning while Its
object loves another. Her roguishness
and couuetry, as she tells him of her
fathers daughters love are delicious.
Her embarrassed rejection of Olivias
open wooing is superb acting. And Fer
conflict betweer physical fear and the
dread of exposure of her sex when bull
lied by the truculent Antonio Is the
highest histrionic art. In all the vary
ing moods of a woman is she thor
oughly a. home.
The company is, as was stated, ad-
mirable. The Sir Toby of Mellish and
the Sir Andrew of Hadfieid are joys.
Herbert is a thoroughly reliable and
strictly correct Nfalvolio. Harcourt
even makes Orsino seem manly despite
his lovesickness; Miss Skepwaith Is
happy as olivia and Hogarth's clown
ing is forgotten in his singing. The
music, py the way, comes in for es-
pecial notice. Most of 1t Is adopted
from old English songs for Beerbohm
Trees London production, and two
numbers were written by Augustus
Barrett especially for Miss Allen. 1t

mLETTY" AT THE
BELASco PROVES
A STRONG DRAMA

Lefty" the Belasco. stock company s
offered this week. is characteristic
Pinero play. Pinero's plays do not END
on the approved story book fashion;
that is, the lovers do not always mar
ry and live happily ever after" so IL
is in Lefty"
The first act introduces one to the
people of the play, the usual Pinero
fashion. The scene is the nat OF Ne
will Letchmere in Grafton street, Lon
don. Mr.. Letchmere has prepared
birthday party for Lefty. shop girl,
who works in Dugdale's. The guests
arrive one by one and spectators are
acquainted with their personalities
by means of long, yet lively and inter-
esting dialogues. The villain, Bernard
Vaudeville, appears and aells Mr..
I,etchmere, the admirer of Lefty to
keep off the grass for Mr.. Mande-
vile intends to marry the girl lhimself.
Letchmere is a married man and in the
second act he tells Lefty to give him
up and marry Vaudeville. The pathos
of the situation is intense. She be-
comes enraged when she learns that her
lover is married and in her anger
throws herself upon the coarse Mande-
Vile, who offers her wealth and ease
If she will go with him.
The third act is in a private room of
a London cafe and opens with a dinner
at which are Mrs Ivor Crosbie, Letch-
meres sister, Coppinger Drake and
Neville Letchmere. Mrs. Crosbie is un-
happily married and is in love with
Drake She has asked her brother to
chaperone her, for she is afraid she will
follow the Letchmere family tradition
and elope with the man she loves. They
leave and Mandevile and Lefty come in
as Letchmere is going out. He stays to
feast with his rival and his financee.

"H. M. s. PINAFoRE" BEGINS
SUCCESSFUL CRUISE ON
THE AUDITORIUM STAGE

After cruising around for thirty
years or more the good ship III. M. S.
Pinafore" anchored in the Auditorium
last night and gave The Californians
chance to make merry on her quar-
ter deck.
1t was a revival of the good old
comic opera that used to appeal
strongly to a previou7 generation Of
theatergoers and seems to have lost
nothing in the production of it given
by the local company. It's demands
are not very great The music is well
within the range of the voices of The
required 1t does not draw very heaV-
lily on the histrionic abilities of the
'mpany. -
Dainty little Myrtle Dingwall as
Tom Tucker, the midshipmite. was
just the cutest thing on the stage last
night, although she was very reluctant
to permit the audience to get a peep
at her after she had danced her sail
or's hornpipe. Perhaps she hadn't
practiced wearing trousers very long,
for whenever she could she hid be-
hind the biggest member of the COM
pany and only peeped around when
her part required it.
The contralto part of Little Butter
cup lent itself we'll to Lucille Saunders
full voice; Richie Ling as the sailor
who loved the captains daughter
sang his lines well and huge Harry
eastman made a clever Dick Deadeye.
Other roles were filled to the entire
satisfaction of everyone.
There were two or. three little raw
places in the production, but these
will be smoothed over by the middle
of the week.

by Edward Dano as Edward West, an
artist; Emma Campbell as Mrs. West,
his mother, and Eda Bothner as Rosie,
the janitor's daughter. The play is
not original in plot nor in handling,
but the byplay in the conversation is
new and catchy.
The Sutcliffe troupe have novel
act They are dressed in true High
land fashion, and they skire the pipes
and dance Scottish reel, besides per-
forming a number of good acrobatic
tricks.
Werden and Gladdish have an act
of illustrated songs. The pictures,
which are semi-oil paintings, are
beautiful and the singer has good,
strong voice. They are enthusiastically
received by the audience.
The Four Fords have a dancing act
They sing one song, but as their
voices are not very good that does not
count The girls costumes are pretty,
but the men might display more taste
in choosing colors for their suits.
Their dancing steps are intricate and
good.
