BURBANK PLAYERS GIVE
REVIVAL OF "cAMILLE"

Standing in the lobby of the Burbank
theater yesterday afternoon after the
fourth act. Manager Oliver Morosco be-
walled the fact that there are not more
new plays as good as Camille The cur
tain had just fallen upon that highly
dramatic scene in which Armand taunts
Ia dame aux Camelias with her faithless-
ness, ending by hurting at her a shower
of gold and bank notes, for which ami
able little pleasantly he is presently
slapped In the face by the lady's pro-
tector. The house, through with it's
weeping for the time, and its handker-
chief snugly tucked away where it might
readily be requisitioned for the next act.
was applauding loudly. Three times the
curtain rose and fell and still the ap-
plause continued. Then it was that Mr..
Morosco made his remark. Certainly the
enthusiasm within gave abundant assent
to his view.
LA Dame aux Camelias'' was written
by Alexandra Dumas, fills, in 1848, the
same year that witnessed the composI
tion of his "Cesarine." The one pIav re-
mains standard, the other has been
forgotten. Camille" as it is known in
the English version has been PLAYED
from time to time by the foremost ac-
tresses OF the English speaking stage.
Moreover it has been presented ''in stock,'
times without number. Three years ago
Miss Blanche Hall appeared in the role at
the Burbank theater. Last year Mary
Van Buren essayed the part at the same
house, Later this season, in all probable
ity, we shall see Florence Stones inter-
probation at the Auditorium.
In the Burbank presentation yesterday
Miss Blanche Hall appeared as Camille.
William Desmond as Armand and\ A.
Byron Beasley as Count de varville. Miss
Hall surrounds the wanton with a finesse,
refinement, that easily wins the sym
pathies of her audience though it may be
doubted If Camille was such woman as
she portrays. Desmonds Armand was
tremendously well liked by his audience,
and Beasley's Count was not far behind
in popular approval. H. ]. CHM. miscast
as Armand's father, failed entirely to
realize the character.

POLICE FAIL TO FIND
CLEW TO HIGHWAYMEN
Men Who Robbed Hot Rivet Saloon
Remain at Large-Helieved
to Have Left the
City

The police so far have been unable to
discover any clew to the identity of the
men who late Saturday night held up the
proprietor, the bartender and ten Gus
toners of the Hot Rivet saloon, lOO6
North Main street. and while one of the
men covered the occupants of the saloon
the other robbed the cash register of
about $3.50.
Yesterday two men were arrested on
suspicion of being connected with the
robbery but later they were released.
The police believe the robbers acted as
bc IDLY as they did intending to leave town
after the robbery.
The men were not masked and in the
glare of the saloon lights were studied
closely by the proprietor and his custo-
mers, who could easily identify them.
For this reason 1t is believed the men
would not run the risk of remaining in
Los Angeles.

WATER TASTES BAD.
Growth of Harmless Uroglena in Great
Notch Reservoir the Cause.

As the outcome of numerous complaints
Of Kearny and Arlington residents of the
odor and taste of the water supplied by
the Suburban Water Company, Health
Officer DR.. James A. Exton, of the Kesrny
Board of Health, laid the matter before
Superintendent Archibald Salmond a few
days ago, but as that official made no
satisfactory explanation of the conditions
the health officer communicated with DR..
John L. Leal, of Paterson, sanitary adj
wiser to the East Jersey Water Company.
and today he received an explanation of
why the people have reason for their
complaints.
1.-THE cause of the odor and taste of the
water as supplied TO the town of Kearny,"
said DIR. Leal, during the last week. has
been due to a growth of uroglena in the
distributing reservoir at Great Notch and
in the pines. The water as delivered to
said reservoir and to the places on direct
service IS perfectly free Of this organism.
But in the water as delivered to the
various places served from the reservoir.
Of which Kearny is one, the organism is
found.
This, as you know. is a perfectly and
natural and unavoidable growth and ut
terly harmless, the only bad features Of
its existence being the odor and taste. We
will serve the places formerly supplied
from said reservoir by direct service and
the trouble will probably cease In a few
days"
Superintendent SaImond contends that 1t
Is his duty to furnish the water to the
municipalities and there his responsibility
ends The matter will be brought to the
attention Of the Board of Health at It's
next meeting.

UNION WIRE WEAVER
TAKES STRIKERS JOB.
Nom Union Men Who Struck for Union
Wages and Principles in East
Newark Face a Poser.

The strike of the wire weavers employed
by Thomas Il. Gleason. of East Newark,
which started seven weeks ago, is still on
and is now complicated by a union weaver
William Dugan. taking the place of one of
the strikers. This strike was caused by the
demand of the men that union prices be
paid and the shop ~unionized.
This demand Is an old one in the fact
that none of the strikers belong to the
union, blu in the strike were aided and
abetted by a national representative of the
weavers' union. The strike expected
when they struck that they would be adj
mitted into the union, but as yet this has
not happened. National Secretary Edward
Desmond has stated, 1t is said by the
strikers, that divisions of the unions out
side OF this locality have voted to admit
them to membership, but that the local d.
vision opposes them.
They are indignant at the fact Of a union
weaver taking the place of one Of their
members when they are fighting for the
union. They declare that they are going to
bring the matter before the Essex Trades
Council and ask it to take action to compel
the union to admit them.
Dugan, 1t is alleged. was employed at
Gleeson's when a strike took place about
ten years ago and he claims that one of
those now on strike took his place then.
He says this justifes his present action.

GLEASON FAVORED
HARRISON, N. Y, MAN MAY
GO TO EAST NEWARK.
Likely to Succeed Malloy as Principal
of the East Newark
School.

Several aspirants have applied for the
position of principal of the East Newark
Public School, which position will be made
vacant If the resignation of the present
incumbent, Edward F. Malloy. is accepted
by the school board Of that borough. The
resignation will be acted upon this week
at a meeting of the board.
Malloy wished to be relieved OF the posi-
ton Wednesday. but the board Will not
meet tomorrow night on account of
election.
1t is said that Frank ]. Gleason, of Har-
rison, N. Y, has been about decided upon
to succeed Malloy. When the latter sent in
his resignation over a week ago word was
sent to Gleason to go to East Newark,
which he did, so he was early in the field.
He was one of the many applicants for the
position as principal of the school when
Cornelius A. McGlennon, who was then
principal. was appointed by the Harrison
Board of Education to be principal of the
Harrison High School,. Gleason is at pres
ent principal of a public school at Harrl-
son, N. Y.
Citizens of East Newark are taking a
great interest in the trouble at the school,,
and public opinion seems to be that If
Principal Malloy found that the classes
were not graded properly and the school
not in the condition it should be, he
should have been allowed to make what
ever changes he thought necessary, SO as
to bring the school up to a proper state
of efficiency.
Members of the board say that they
have backed him up in his reforms, but
that he seems dissatisfied and wants to
leave anyhow.
On the other hand, it is said that Malloy
has been a~ntagonized by members of the
board, particularly one. member who is
laid to nave a lot of influence. Former
Principal McGlennon is alleged to have
told members of the board that he
thought he should be consulted In the mat
ter of selecting q successor to Malloy,
and that he should be allowed to offer
suggestions to the board in the matter.
1t is said that he was told that the board
was handling the affair.
