PRETTY BIRD ACT
is GOOD ATTRACTION
AT THE ORPHEUM

The extraordinary intelligence of birds
when properly trained was demonstrated
last evening in the act of Princess Yo-
lanthe and her unequaled cockatoo pam
tomime at the Orpheum. About two
dozen of these beautiful white birds
cakewalked, marched to a martial tune
drew a carriage. played dead bird and
so forth through a long list of attain
ments that are not usually supposed to
belong to the category of birds ac-
complishments.
Charles Leonard Fletcher, presenting
a series of artistic character studies and
impersonations, is fine in the telephone
playlet, but in his impersonation of IA
nous characters in life and in fiction
he falls a little short.
For good singing the Durand trio would
draw the first prize, but if one of the
three did not have such a dreamy face
it would not take so much of the audi
ence's attention away from the songs.
The mermaid in the act Under the
Sea-" presented by Foy and Clark, was
very attractive to certain portions of the
audience. About all the mermaid wore
was her f1sh's scales. There was not
anything to the szft except A good deal
of horse play and the mermaid's clothes
played the smallest part in the whole
performance.
Several of the musicians in the wo-
mans orchestra of Boston are still flirt-
ing with the men in the audience and
the other holdovers are the Max Tour
billion troupe, unrivaled bicycle acrobats
and staircase jumpers; Elizabeth Muir
ray in songs and stories, and Kremka
brothers, comedy acrobats.

WEDDING SOLVES
KNOTTY PROBLEM
Girl Enters Police Court with Down.
cast Heart, but Goes Forth Into
the World a Radiant
Bride

An interesting wedding took place in
Justice Chambers court yesterday when
Howard Gerome married Hilda Sandon
in order to clear himself of the charge
of failure to provide. He also relieved
the court of deciding some unusual and
knotty legal questions
Some time ago Hilda Sandon went to
City Prosecutor Eddy and swore to a
complaint charging Howard with failure
to provide for herself and child. She
said that Howard had left her without
support. Mrs. Eddy issued the complaint.
Last Friday night Howard was arrested
in San Bernardino while he was playing
in the band of a wild west show"
Howard appeared for trial yesterday
morning. He admitted living with Miss
Sandon for a year in this city, but said
she had no child Then it was discovered
that the woman asked for the support
of child which was not but is to be.
The judge and Assistant Prosecutor
Adcock looked amused, perplexed, then
dumfounded.
1t was a new case. There were no pre-
cedents.
Howard was asked if he desired to
marry the woman. He said yes. Hilda
said she loved him and would marry no
other man.. license was procured, the
Knot was tied and the court was relieved
of it's difficulties.
The couple left the court room in good
SPLITS and the court beamed satisfaction
at its wisdom in finding solution which
was like unto Solomonic judgment.

STABBED AFTER
HEARTY GREETING
SCUFFLE IN STREET ENDS
SERIOUSLY
George Cunningham Wounded by w.
w. McGarvin, Real Estate Man,
Who Declares Cutting Was
Purely Accidental

with a gaping wound in his groin,
George Cunningham, a young man &c
years old, was hurried to DIR. Melbourne S
hospital Tenth and Olive streets, late
yesterday afternoon stabbed. he declared,
by W. w. Garvin of 1910 Orange street,
with whom he had shaken hands minute
before.
The wound was the result of a thrust
made by a pocketknife.
At the Melbourne hospital Cunningham
was hastily put under an anesthetic ana
operated on. Late last night DR.. Wei
bourne declared, although the wounds
were serious, his patient would recover
Lying on a cot in the hospital, Cunning
ham was able to tell but little of the
trouble which resulted in his injury, but
the little he did say was sensational in
the extreme. According to DR.. Melbourne
Cunningham declared that he had had
some trouble with the younger Garvtn, a
son of his assailant, some time ago. The
senior, he declared, threatened to get
him." but Cunningham, who is a larger
man than Garvin, thought nothing of the
threat. Yesterday when he met the senior
Garvin in front of the Grant building
the two shook hands as if nothing was
wrong and exchanged commonplaces. AS
they were about to part according TO
Cunningham's statement, Garvin thrust
the penknife with which he was cleaning
his finger nails into the young mans alb
domen. the blade going in almost to the
handle
Cunningham was taken to the hospital,
where the wound was attended. DR.. We'll
bourne said there was but one wound
seemingly made by clean forward
thrust, but the physical condition of the
young man seemed to preclude serious
In the excitement of the moment Garvin
escaped, but was taken into custody early
last night.
The theory of the police seems to indi-
cate Cunningham's story was the hallu-
cination of mind wandering because of
his wound According to their impression,
gathered from Garvin and witnesses, the
younger man was at fault and the stab
bing was an accident,
At the police station the officers claimed
that Garvin was standing in front of the
Grant building trimming his finger nails
when Cunningham came along. The
young man stopped to talk to Garvln, and
after shaking hands, according to the
police, the elder man dunned him for
some money which he claimed Cunning
ham owed him. After little discussion
cunningham struck at him. Garvin, in
attempting to evade the blow, fell for
ward and the knife entered Cunningham's |
abdomen. -
At the Garyin home the younger man
refused to say anything about the accident |
or assault and his father who was at the
displayed the same reticence.

man as the woman is somewhat too
theatric; she declaims her lines in the
English fashion, in marked contrast to
the quieter but more effective methods
of the men in the cast, and is rather
maudlin toward the end. The minor parts
are unimportant, but well done. But the
whole play is really centered in the two
