NOTES BY THE
MATINEE MAN

r r EARTY congratulations to Lillian
RI Albertson! AS told elsewhere in
- - The Herald today, she leaves in two
New York production on Broadway. The
Belasco will miss her.
don't mind now telling bit of secret
! history concerning the coming here OF
this charming player. When Amelia Gard
ner quit, Jack Blackwood went East anG
secured the country for a worthy sue
cessor. He saw every stock leading wo-
man available, and some who were not
open to offers. Among the latter was
Miss Albertson. He knew her as former
member of the Alcazar company in San
Francisco, and he picked her to win.
When the engagement was laid before his
associates some of them objected. But
Jack had faith.
She has red hair" said he, remember
ing his experience with Mrs. Leslie Car
ter, land a red haired actress never
fails"
He had his way. Miss Albertson came
and made good. So much attention has
been attracted to her excellent work here
that this big chance has come to her.
And all Los Angeles will join in wishing
regret at her departure.
1 envy Santa Cruz; it gets the Cali
fornians now. l also envy the Califor-
mans; Santa Cruz is a delightful place to
sojourn any time. But the combination
of Santa Cruz and the Californians should
be wonderfully fine.
Ir justice to I. Daniel Frawley L am
constrained to remark that his entrance
speeches at the Burbank disgusted him
as much as they did the critics who
roasted" him therefor They were de-
livered by order. The blame doesn't rest
on t. Dan at all. 1 thought better of him
than that he would deliberately break In
on such a scene to step out of character
and chat with his audience of his own
accord Some day. when discriminating
throng will call Frawley out after the
act it will hear a curtain talk as unc-
tuous, witty and delightful as were the
little verbal interludes of Dick Ferris last
winter at the Auditorium
Lewis Stone, who is enjoying his vaca-
tions in the mountains up north, sent to
Manager Blackwood of the Belasco for
his part in "The Admirable Crichton" the
other day. hven in his days of rest
Stone must be hankering for the chance
to play Gillette's role of the butter, who
in an emergency turns out to be a real
man, with whom the charming daughter
of his titled employer falls very much in
love- only to have her dream shattered
when the shipwrecked party is brought
back to civilization. l recall with much
pleasure Joe Galbraiths acting of this
part when "Crichton" was given at the
Belasco over a year and half ago and
want to see what Stone will do with the
same part. Something that will be among
his best contributions, III wager.

Some time get Howard Scott to take

The poses of player folk are queer,
sometimes. Take Maude Adams, for ex-
ample; exclusiveness is hers. No one
ever catches a glimpse of her off stage.
Newspaper men are never permitted to
see or hear her save across the footlightS;
she goes to and from the theater in a
closed cab, guarded by an old she-dragon;
she never visits the front of the house and
is never seen in any public cafe or even
on the street, and a corps of four ushers
guarded the stage entrance to keep off
souvenir fiends all the time she was In
the playhouse. Ethel Barrymore, on the
contrary. is just the opposite. She swung
down Broadway the day she arrived
looked in on the box office, jollied Gov
ernor" Wyatt, made friends with the
house attaches, spent hours signing pho
tographs and autograph books, dined out
after the show, and was a good fellow
generally. The result is that the public
feels a sort of camaraderie for Ethel,
while 1t would as soon think of jollying
with nun as with Maude Adams. And
what does Miss Adams gain by her ascetic
pose, anyhow?

MISS STANTON
SHARP SHOPPER
Buys Many Goods But
Funds Prove Shy

The good old motto of 'try, try
again." was followed out to the let
ter by Sophy Stanton, who until yes
terday has been employed at a local
laundry, but without the attendent
success which this course of action de-
serves.
Early yesterday morning Miss STAN
ton started on a shopping tour. She
stopped in at the millinery store of
Anna Peter at 20 E. Main and after
trying on some so odd styles found
one which was Just too killing ana
beyond feminine will to resist
The price of the hat was eight dol
lars. Miss Stanton said that she had
only four dollars with her. but that II
she be allowed to take the hat, she
would return in half an hour and pay
the balance. Permission was granted.
and though the time set for the final
payment arrived and passed, Miss
Stanton failed to appear. This alarm
ed the milliner who informed police
headquarters of the state of affairs.
Patroman Wolfe was put on the
case and after couple of hours work
succeeded in locating the young lady
IL
she confessed her inability to pay for
it.
Nothing daunted, however, because
of her lack of funds, Miss Stanton set
out again in the afternoon and sue
ceeded in bluffing a clerk in the Mot
ter Wheeler store to send two suit
cases to her room at the Coast House,
the price of the cases being $13.75.
The deliveryman, however, became
suspicious. The purchasers "credit"
was investigated, and the deliveryman
dispatched to return the suit cases.
Arriving at the hotel, he found her
room deserted, but conversation with
the landlord revealed the fact that
she had Switched" rooms and was
then in with a friend. Slipping up to
the door on tiptoe, the suspicious of
the amateur sleuthS were confirmed
when they heard Miss Stanton plan
ming to leave on the evening train
for Kahlotus.
The police were Immediately in
formed, and along about train time
Patrolman Lamden could have been
seen stealthily approaching the depot.
Shortly before the train arrived, Miss
Stanton accompanied by three other
girls, drove up to the depot in a hack.
Upon alighting from the hack, the
party fell into the clutches of the law
and Lamden. Miss Stanton was in
clined to argue the matter, and 1t
began to look as though she would
have to postpone her visit to Kahlotus
as she did not have the money to pay
for the suit cases. A gentleman
friend who happened by, however, gall
lantly settled the bill and Miss STAN
ton was permitted to depart in peace.
