I'm OLD KENTUCKY
IS AT THE MASON
SUCCESSFUL OLD MELoDRAMA IN
ITS FIFTEENTH YEAR
Cast of Oriaina! Performance included
Such Well Known Players as
Louis James and Julia
Arthur

No American play written in the past
quarter of century has attained the
popularity of 'In Old Kentucky" which
opened a short engagement at the Mason
last night. The great old melodrama, of
course, does not belong on Broadway 1t
perhaps, to the Los Angeles. However,
the powers that reign over theatrical ar
fairs decreed otherwise and in all JUS
tice it must be said that last nights
audience, on the whole, seemed well
amused. Moreover, the good old melo-
dramatic lines which at the Grand would
be received with a pandemonium of ap-
plause, were applauded even at the Ma
son. 1t was mild enthusiasm, to be sure
but 1t came at the right time. which
goes to show that human nature is pretty
much the same on Broadway as it is on
Main street.
I'm Old Kentucky was first produced
by Jacob Lifts stock company at the
Grand opera house, st. Paul. Mimi, some
fifteen or sixteen years ago. Marion El-
more played Madge, Louis James was the
Uncle Neb and, of course. played the
part in blackface; Frank Lossee was the
Frank Layson, the Barbara Holton was
young woman who was destined later to
make the name of Julia Arthur known
from one ocean to the other
Bettina Girard is generally accredited
with having "created" the role. and to
all intents and purposes she did create
it, for she played Madge with the first
road" company. Miss Elmore, however,
preceded her in the part and played 1t
for two weeks, first in st. Paul and after
ward in Minneapolis. There have been,
all told, twelve Madges. They were Ma
rion Elmore, Bettina Girard, Laura Burt,
Lulu Tabor Affe Warner, Elsa Ryan,
Alice Treat Hunt, Bessie Barriscale, Mel
lie Callahan, Marion Shirley, Marie Quinn
and this season May Stockton.
The old play has been equipped with
new scenery this year and the scenic ar
lists have done their work well. The first
act set, showing Madge's home in the
mountains. is particularly effective.
In the present cast there are two
names which have been associated with
I'm Old Kentucky almost from the first.
They are Burt G. Clark and Charles K.
French, the colonel and Uncle Neb. The
cast as a whole, however, is not UP to
the standard of earlier seasons. Miss
stockton's Madge, for instance, does not
dissipate the memory of preceding
Madges though she is by far the most
competent of the newcomers.

Believed to Ee Large Band

The woman was surprised yesterday
afternoon when, responding to rap at
the door, she saw standing before her
the same man whom she had but a few
hours before seen silhouetted In the gray
light of the morning. The mans actions
gave the woman great alarm, and while
quiry she noticed he seemed to make
mental record of everything about the
place.
Mrs. Buhler reported the visit and her
losses to neighbors and discovered that
she was not the only one who had suf-
fered from the vandals. Hogs sheep,
goats and poultry have been stolen in
such numbers that the residents are con-
sidering the advisability of moving into
another part of the city.
Again, it is feared that the robbers
may become bolder and, taking cour-
age from the fact that they have so far
been unmolested while they confined
their thievery to the outside, may force
their way into houses. 1t is also be-
Iieved that some of the thieves who have
committed petty burglaries throughout
the city of late have their rendezvous
sn the densely wooded places around the
park.
The band is thought to be a large one,
as the depredations have resulted in the
stealing of many head of live stock and
hundreds of chickens, ducks and other
fowl.
People living in the cicinity of the rob-
berries say property values have deterior-
ated as a result of the depredations.

TRY THIS FOR
sALLOW COMPLEXION

The following prescription is one
constantly prescribed by the most
up-to-date physicians and is known
as the Pasteur formula: Two
ounces Essence of Pepsin; three
ounces Syrup of Ginger; one ounce
Catandir Compound; mix well and
use in doses of from one to two
teaspoonfuls after each meal; also
at bed time for the first four or
five days" Sallow complexion, bad
breath and nervousness are caused
by imperfect digestion which al
lows poisonous acids to be absorbed
into the blood instead of being ex-
PEELED through the bowels. This
extremely distressing condition is
said to be most effectually removed
by the use of the above prescrip-
tion. A well known local druggist
states that he has advised many of
his patrons that this formula has
exceptional curative powers and
that it makes a pleasant remedy to
take. The ingredients can be got
ten from any we'll stocked phar-
macy and easily mixed at home.

MARAUDERS
THIEVES HAVE RENDEZVOUS
IN PARK
RESIDENTS OF ELYsIAN DISTRICT
ALARMED
Appeal Is Made to Police for Protec,
tion Against Bandits Who Have
Denuded Small Poultry
Farms

Hiding in the hollows and deep under
brush in the country around Elysian
park is band of thieves whose depre-
dations are becoming so annoying that
the people living in that part of Los An
geles are appealing to the police to rid
the neighborhood of these unwelcome
visitors.
For weeks past people living near the
park have been terrorized by the nightly
visits of marauders. who, stealthily maxi
ing their way through the darkness and
bypaths known only to themselves, have
robbed the farmyards of poultry and live
stock until the vicinity has become al
most denuded. Nor have the thieves been
satisfied with the plunder secured from
roost and pen, but their desire for loot
has even led them to enter houses, and,
while there have not been any household
xobberies, the people live in hourly fear
that ttifieirr their doors or windows may be
forced and violence done.
The police were yesterday appealed to,
and 1t is believed strenuous efforts will
be made to round up the band.
Widows Place Looted
Mrs. Elizabeth Buhler, 1911 Avalon
street. has been among the greatest suf-
ferers from the depredations of these
thieves Mrs. Buhler has lived in Los
Angles almost eleven years and during
that time has purchased home with the
small legacy left by her husband, who
died some years ago. and the returns
from the sales of chickens, ducks, eggs,
butter and mutton.
Mrs. Buhler's place was invaded the
first time about three weeks ago, but
the loss of two or three chickens was
considered of small moment The thefts,
however, grew until Thursday morning,
when, upon going to her yard, she found
the last of large number of chickens
which she priced highly had disappeared.
There was plenty of evidence that men
had entered the place during the night
and taken the fowls, and an examination
Of the footprints showed they led to
path which seemed to be the roadway
toward which a number of small trails
led, each trail being in the direction of
house in the vicinity.
Early Thursday morning Mrs. Buhler
after a night of wakefulness, went to
the rear door of her home and in the
semi darkness saw the form of a man
making his way stealthily through the
fence. This man she described as being
large, straight and wearing a broad
brimmed black sombrerolike hat. He
wore no coat, and the light color of his
shirt threw into pronounced relief the
massive form

Kill Engineer and Wound Fireman

A dispatch to Sheriff Shoemaker at

of the north coast limited were arrest
ed at Basin, few miles from Wood
vile, where they caught the train.
They are mere youths.
The north coast limited eastbound
train, No. % on the Northern Pacific
railway, was held up by two masked
men near Welch's spur, a siding eigh-
teen miles east of Butte, Mont. En-
gineer James Glow was shot and killed
and Fireman James Sullivan was shot
through the arm. Without making an
attempt to blow up the express car, as
was evidently intended, the robbers
jumped from the engine and ran down
the mountain side, disappearing in a
gulch several hundred yards from the
track.
Sheriff Henderson of Butte was no.
tilted, and with posse left on train
for the scene of the holdup. Sheriff
Webb of Yellowstone county was on
the train and with one of the train
crew started on the trail of the hold
up men five minutes after the shoot
ing. He trailed the men half a mile
and after picking up their masks lost
all track of the bandits.

Many Famous Players
Started as Pitchers
Star Ball Tossers Who Began Game
in Different Positions in Which
They Made Good.

Has the baseball fan ever stopped
to consider how many ups and downs
the present day stars experienced be-
for they found a position for which
they were actually fitted? This has
been the case particularly with men
who were pitchers and either lost
their cunning as slab artists or were
not strong enough to keep up with the
rest of the crowd. One could name
probably half hundred men who are
stars at the present time who were
once pitchers or catchers.
Let us start with Willie Keller. 1t
may not be generally known that
Keller began his career on the dia-
mond as a pitcher. In those days he
played with amateur and semf,profes-
sional teams in Brooklyn and other
Long Island places. Even when Keel
err broke into fast company he started
as a third baseman. New York had
him and could do nothing with him.
Then Brooklyn had crack at this
present-day star. But it was not until
he reached Baltimore that his real
value developed. He was placed in
right field, and from then until the
present day he ranged first in that
position.
Kid Gleason will be remembered as
a pitcher. Then he came to New
York and developed into one of the
best fielding second basemen in the
major league.
Callahan, who is playing independ
ent baseball in Chicago, was once a
great pitcher. There is Isbell. He
ranked high as twirler until a few
years ago. Then he turned to infield
work, and is a very valuable man at
either first or second.
Remember how Cy Seymour used tc
whip 'em over at the Polo grounds?
But at his best he was cratic. Still,
| he was valuable as hitter, and when
| he left New York he was placed in
the infield. At present there are few
men who are his equal in fielding OF
hitting.
Bresnahan began as a pitcher. first
| in Chicago and then in Baltimore. To.
day he is very valuable man behind
the bat. Indeed, he is good in any
position when team is in a pinch.
Frank Chance, a catcher, developed
into a star first baseman. And 1t may
not be generally known that Mike
Donlin broke into baseball as pitch
er. He came to st. Louis from Cali
fornia.
Then there is Bobby Wallace. He
was the Clevelands' greatest pitcher
in the early eos. He was and is YET
great tpfielder. Hal Chase. who has
no equal as a first baseman. was 8
pitcher for a time.
Danny Hoffman was pitcher II
the Connecticut league, and SO was
Pat Dougherty.

QUITE A DIFFERENCE.
Kansas Labor Commissioner Not kik,

Kansas Labor Commissioner Not Like
the Nebraska Man.
There is just as much difference be-

there is between any other men. And
there is an especially wide difference
between the, labor commissioner of
Nebraska and the labor commissioner
of Kansas The Kansas man was ap-
pointed because he knew the labor
movement and learned it from ex-
perience. His name is w. S. A. John
son. The hodcarriers and building la
borers of Hutchinson wanted to organ
ize and wrote to Commissioner John
son for information. He told them to
write a letter applying for a charter
and send it to him with the charter
fee of $40 and he would do the rest
