been excellently maintained from the
start, new pupils coming In to take
the place of those going away. The
work which has been done has been
especially gratifying to the teachers
as we'll MS to the pupils aud parents
Many days which would otherwise
have been spent in idleness by the
children have been passed with pleas
ure as well as profit.
The children have been divided into
three classes according TO their own
desires. The class in sioyd was com
posed largely of boys but there were
also few girls enrolled. The work
was necessarily ON an elementary
scale owing to the youthfulness and
inexperience of the workers. How
ever that which was accomplished was
done well and painstakingly Several
pieces of work are noticeable ON ac'
count of their excellence. The class
in sloyd was under the personal di'
rcction of Chester Green of Maiden,
Mass, an experienced teacher
The class which had the largest en-
rollment was the basketry class. This
division worked in raila as well as in
ornamental reeds Many pretty bas-
kets were made in many different col
ors and designs. The children en-
ioyed this work greatly and were al
lowed to retain as their own property
the results of their handiwork. This
class was under the able supervision
of Miss Florence NJ. Goodenough,
who assumes the head of the art de-
partment of the local schools at the
opening Of the year in place of Mrs.
II. II. Crosby, resigned. The class in
Venetian iron work was small but
many pretty little articles were made
including picture racks and clock
cases.
An exhibit of the work will be
made at the coming Valley fair. The
work of this term has been such a sue
cess that the summer school will un'
doubtedly be continued next summer

Coming Attractions

BELASCO-The Belasco theater stock
company will present "Men and Wo-
men" this week. This is the American
play by David Belasco-and H. C. de-
Mile that o.azed the way for so many
dramatic compositions dealing with the
complex problems of modern life. Ho-
bart Bosworth will make his initial
appearance with the organization in
1t and will doubtless add materially to
the brilliancy of the performance. Fol-
lowing MEN and Women" the Belasco
company will put on "Zira," the Hart
ley Manners Henry Miller play in
which Margaret Anglin made such
success in New York last winter.
MASON-"The County Chairman"
with Theodore Babcock in the titular
role and supported by a strong COM
pany will begin weeks engagement
at the Mason theater tomorrow night
with matinee Saturday afternoon.
The chief character of interest next to
Jim Hacker is the typical roustabout
negro Sassafras Livingston. He earns
living as best he can by grating
from all his friends and by naming his
girl baby after each of the candidates
running or election, expecting this
honor viii net him some financial
aid. Thomas Grady plays the part
AUDITORIUM-For the week COM
mencing Monday the Ferris stock COM
pany at the Auditorium will present
Madeline Luccette Ryley's charming
English comedy-drama, THE Altar of
Friendship" which ran six months in
New York with Maxine Elliott and Nat
Goodwin in the principal characters.
The play is one of modern times, full
Of love, sympathy, comedy and tragedy,
but with true heart interest running
through ii all. Mr.. Ferris and Miss
Florence Stone win have the roles
played by Mr.. Goodwin and Miss Elliott
respectively.

climax Is the rushing across the boards

ample for all purposes; in that case
something in the way of scenic dis
plays will be practicable. At least it
is to be hoped that the sloppy environ
ment which disgraced the Lambardi
season will not be foisted upon Los
Angeles. Also, it is hoped that a chorus
that can sing and that doesn't give
one semblance of NAL de mere to
look at will be presented. That was
another pill that went down hard with
the Lambardis. In fact, it is something
OF a wonder that the opening attrac-
tion at the Auditorium was even mod
erately hit, considering these two
features.
But even with all the disadvantages
of location and building, the sale of the
opera season is good and every one
unites in liveliest anticipation of a re-
markably fine musical treat. Certainly
the prima donnas and excellent singers
carried give token of it. even if all the
rest fails.

wore out and he became disgusted, or
till he saw the joke in it and went away
with a laugh. In either case he was
cured of ever again kicking to the Ma
son. Now 1 suppose Willie Wyatt will
have to act as his dads alter ego and
receive the indignant ones.
Whenever hear one actor praise an
other, especially when that other can
neither do him good nor harm, then am
1 impressed. l heard Dick Vivian do
ing this for George Barnum one night
last week.
George" said he, was one of the
hest friends l ever had, and L am
mighty sorry he left the Belasco. He
and / were the last of the original cast
that opened that house, and now 1 am
all alone. George taught me more than
l ever knew, and l owe what little
ability 1 now have largely to him"
Wasn't that fine and generous?
You're brick, Dick; not only for your
generosity, but for your justice. Most
actors have the exaggerated ego so
badly that they can't see fellow
player atop of earth.
Lou Scott of Minneapolis who owns
theaters there and in st. Paul where
Dick Ferris had companies for years,
is in town. He and Dick are chum-
ming greatly these days, and he is
helping Dick lick up that Scotch which
Dick sent over for-remember 1 told
you the story of that?
Now Lou would make about two of
Dick and leave considerable over for
good measure and scraps, but he
doesn't care. This happened that chilly
night last week, when he and Dick
were scooting about town in Dick S
-auto-not the boat, by the way. Dick
al
came here directly from the frozen
north and his overcoat has fur on the
inside. But Scott was glum.
"Oh, this life is all weariness," he
said. Il believe I'll jump off and quit
it,"
"Will you do me favor before you
go?' asked Dick, sympatheticallyy.
Sure what is it?' answered Lou.
Just win me that overcoat you
won't need it where you're going"
And just for that" Dick tells me,
Scott answered, Il won't go"
So Dick Is still minus fur lined
oVercoat.
There is talk of Ge -e Barnum for
character comedian i'm Berry's new
opera company, Why not? OF course
George can't sing, but neither could
Henry Clay Barnabee, in the Boston
ians, and he was all the funnier for
it. / hope Sparks'll get George and
that George win take it. Los Angeles
can afford to lose George Barnum.
1 believe that the worst thing that
can happen TO an actor is to be pretty.
am moved 10 this sage remark by the
course Andrew Robson pursued In In
ToscaH last week, and the chance he
overlooked. Robson has plenty of fine
masculine beauty, and he doesn't care

bank during its weeks run that it
will hold over for another week. The
same cast will have it in hand, and
the same rollicking fun will be on tap
every night.
ORPHEUM-Charle e. Evans and
company in the one-act comedy IT'S
Up to You, William" head the Or
pheum bill this week. I'm Africa" is
an acrobatic absurdity in which the
Four Rianos make an imaginary ex-
cursion into the African jungle. Cam
eron and Flanagan are a pair of min
strel men. Allan Shaw is heralded as
the premier card and coin manipulator
of the day. Shields and Rogers are
experts with the lariat. The holdovers
are Nellie Beaumont and company,
Eleanor Fake, the Bedouin Arabs and
the Lasky- -Rolfe quintet.
GRAND - "Ole Olson" with Ben
Hendricks in the title role, will be the
Grand opera house attraction for the
week of March 3. Hendricks returns
this season with company includ-
ing Charles S. Randall. Joseph C.
Berry Gertrude Gilbert and Make
Bishop A number of new songs by
the singer-comedian are featured, and
some Of his old favorites will bA heard
again.
MISSION-Evan Baldwin's stock
company presenting "A Yankee in
London" concludes prosperous weeks
business tonight at the Mission theater
and will offer 1.-The Heritage of Sin"
as the bill for the coming week, start
ing with a matinee tomorrow. The
Mission has been vastly improved In
every manner under the new manage
ment and is now one of the cosest
and most comfortable of the popular
priced theaters in the city.
FISCHER 'S-Today's performances
will conclude the run of Brownies

ager Fischer will present Fred L. Grif-
fths Lost and Found" In the cast
will be Billy Onslow, Tracy MeDermott,

cheeks, droopy, bleary eyes and a bes-
tial manner, as he should have done,
but as a high bred gentleman gone
wrong. Anyone who ever saw Coquelin
| in this part would realize what mean.
Robson had a splendid chance to sink
his looks into his part there and be
Scarpia, but he never was anything but
Robson. Hence, manly beauty Is a
terrible handicap, If the possessor,
knows it and is on the stage.
Speaking of press agents-which L
wasn't, by the way, but WILL want
to say good word for young Bartlett
of the OrpheumGrand. He never
overlooks bet Last week when the
German building burned the Orpheum
matinee was killed almost completely.
Most fellows would have mourned over
this, and let it go at that Not Bart
lett. Bright and early after dinner,
when the rush for names and pictures
was on, Bartlett showed up at every
morning newspaper office in town. He
stepped in quietly, sought q secluded
corner and got busy with his pencil.
And every newspaper had an item the
next morning to the effect that 200
amusement-mad people fought their
way past police, firemen and smoke TO
get into the Orpheum, even though a
building burned across the street. Just
to see it's superlatively good show.
Bartlett is something of a liar and a
good judge of a lobster-not the cannl-
balistic sort-but his chief virtue to my
mind is his appreciation of a situation.
l wonder if that charmingly clever
little friend of mine. alice Nielsen. who
comes with the San Carolists will get
nero medal? l hope so; that dope

Ure. or StAVlnn a
recognition-though l think the press
agent should get the real medal But
| want to recall to Alice q time when
it took lots more nerve on her part
to carry her through than it did in this
instance.
Alice had been singing in a church
choir in a certain middle west city. as
girl and had been known generally
as the most proper and demure of the
large organization. She left, came west
broke into orera via the TiVol and
Bostonians, and then headed COM
p6ny of her Own. She came back to
this home town and it turned out en-
masse to greet her. Now, remember
that the Alice 1t knew was a girl in
skirts and pigtails, who wore vest
ments in that choir, and never let
peep even her ankles Imagine the
shock then when she bounded on the
stage before her own townsfolk and
relatives in skin tight red breeches OF
most clinging texture. whose only re-
lief was sword! OF course, she had
been on the stage long then and was
irured to it, but 1 can approximate
how she felt when that audience OF
her own people slapped its opera glasses

NOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN
\

THE passing of Len Behymer from
the press agency of the Mason was
= the most unexpected and unusual
event in the theatrical circles of last
week-and the least noticed. Len and
Harry Wyatt have been associated for
so many years that l hardly like to
state their number. Away back in the
days when the Grand was "thl" the
ater, and later when the Los Angeles
theater, now the Orpheum, was lit"
they were in double harness. When
Wyatt took the Mason bee" went with
him, as a matter of course, and they
have been together ever since. Bee
became an impresaro, but he still
passed the Mason dope" out to the
boys along with his own, and no one in
this town had a better standing with
the press or got more stuff past the
M. e. than bee" could. 1t always
came through in good form; was always
readable and intelligent and was never
boiler plate mimeograph rot. What the
Mason will do without bee" is a prob
lem, But Harry Bell, his successor, was
trained from infancy by Len and If he
sticks to his preceptor's ideas every
man on the desk will be thankful.
But there was another job that Len
had that no one can take. That was
to be buffer for Wyatt i'm case OF row.

TINE one conspicuous event of this
week in amusement circles is the
\ coming of the San Carlo opera COM
pany for a series of eighteen perform
ances The highest praises come from
the east about this aggregation, and
there is every reason TO believe that a
season OF real enjoyment will ensue.
High class opera should be nightly
welcome here, especially to music low
ers Whether the fashionables will
take to it, given in rink, so far from
the center of town, is another PROPOSE
ton, and whether the company can
split even without the fashionables is
still another. 1t is doubtful.
However. while the fashionables do
add a certain cachet to opera, they
alone do not put the dollars into the
box office. The general run of people
do that; but the general run is ike a
flock of sheep-prone to follow lts lead
ers. In case of opera, the brand OF the
400 is a great help in blazing a way
for the sheep, and without that brand,
the common herd feels that it isn't Just

Harding. living in Denison. Iowa.
Mrs. Kevan was loving wife. an
indulgent mother. and a faithful
friend. She was home-maker and
had an unwearied interest in the
welfare of her family.
Mrs. Harding, being the youngest
of the children. has been a constant
companion OF her mother. the two
being inseparable in their fellowship
and care of each other.
Mrs. Kevan inherited the noble
traits of the character from the sturdy
Scotch ancestry from which she
sprung: her grandfather. Wallace,
being Congregational minister. and
her cousin. Robert Graham. being a
minister of the Established church of
Scotland So all her early years she
was surrounded with the best of in
fiuences. which bear rich fruitage in
her later years.
On coming to Dow City she united
with the Methodist Church as there
was no church of her choice within
reach She had always favored the
Congregational Church but was will
ing to unite with Gods people and
forward the interests of the cause
wherever she was living. Mrs. Ke-
van was also an ardent advocate of
temperance and ready at all times to
stand boldly forth for what was right
and just. She was also a strenuous
advocate of Civil Righteousness and
openly advocated the enforcement of
laws for the protection of the citizer
by the officers placed in power by
towns for the protection of the youth
of all communities.
Much sympathy is felt for the sur
viving sons. daughter and grandchild

the deceased. and emulation cf he
virtues and character is the desire o
all who had the pleasure of her ac
quaintance.
