PLAYLET AT 0RPHEUM
DEPICTS CLEVER BIT
OF HUMAN INTEREST

"A Tough Love" presented by Claude
and Fannie Usher at the Orpheum this
week is something rarely seen on a
vaudeville stage. 1t is bit of human
nature which few people know any
thing about 1t il the home life of two
street newsboys and bootblacks, one a
girl anC the other a boy. The home IS
a barrel witt. an awning. 1t is well
done and the playlet itself is strong
It is rare that the Orpheum in one
week has three sketches. but this week
it has happened, one of the holdovers
being a playlet, while two of the new
ones belong to the same class. Tney
make the bill better.

DICK FERRIS MAKES
GOOD AS Al. ACTOR
FROM THE FIRST

Dick Ferris made his initial appear
ance as an actor in Los Angeles last
night at the Auditorium and he made
good.
He appeared in "Graustark." a melo-
drama of Yiddish names and electric
thrills from the overture to finale,
which at the performance of last night
meant a session of several hours.
Every young woman who has ever
heard of George Barr McCutcheon's s
play of impossible romance has yearned
her heart out to see the performance
and in Ferris Interpretation of the play
there are enough thrills to satisfy all
of them, and then some to spare.
"Graustarll' teens with excitement.
Heroes hide behind bushes to hear viii
lains plot to carry away the princess
at night. Heroes rush into the prin-
cess bed room at night, failing TO ex-
plain how they happened to pass the
guards, and they tell her she is to be
abducted. Even the electric automobile,
which is supposed to behave itself,
butted into the scenery last night as the
princess made her appearance, and
Ferris as the hero. made good immedi-
ately by grabbing the auto and pulling
it back on the stage to keep it from
crawling into the orchestra pit.
The spectators were compelled to wait
twenty or thirty minutes between acts
but they We're amply paid for the waits
for the scenery and stage settings Were
magnificent
Miss Florence stone as the princess
was most acceptable. In fact Miss
Stone is very acceptable to Los An
geles theater goers i'm any role she may
play. Her costumes last night We're
gorgeous and her appearance stunning
so that when she said, II am queen,
there was not dissenting voice in the
house.
Miss Rosalind Coghlan, as "' "ese,
proved pretty and winsome and clev-
er actress.
Aside from the fact that Miss Stone
i'm the bed chamber scene retres with
out taking off very fancy pair of pink
silk slippers, the details Of the play
were historically correct and properly
observed, making ii most acceptable
performance.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-01

for beauty and life; and the natural
ness of all is much to be commended.
Miss Nethersole told the writer. the
first time that "Sapho" was played,
that its production was merely a case
of dollars.
There is nothing dramatic in por-
traying a good woman" said she; 1.-The
people don't want to see good woman
on the stage"
Maybe. But, with SC brilliant. culti-
waited and able al actress as Miss
Nethcrsole making her initial bow to
Los Angeles, theater devotees cannot
but wish that something truer, more
worthy and more noble might have
been selected than this tawdy harridan.
If a play, no matter what its theme,
only is honest, much else might be for
given. But "Sapho'' isn't.
The audience was the acme of Los
Angeles fashion. The house was so
cold that thin gowned women suffered,
but perhaps it was thought that the
warmth of the Play would save coal
bills. "Sapho' is repeated this after
noon with "The Second Mrs. Tan
queray" tonight.

New Years Comedy at Fischer's

Last night at Fischer's two large
audiences laughed themselves glad
over the antics of Fischers comedians
in Fred l.. Griffiths' musical comedy,
"a Bunch of Jays" The piece went
with a roar from start to finish. and
the situations were worked up in fine
style by the various members of the
cast. Billy Onslow, as the comical
old lawyer. and Nick Cogley as an old
lawyer, and Tracey McDermott as a
scheming young man, supply most of
the comedy and are ably assisted by
Miss Anna Baumann as the keeper of
beach hotel and Miss Nellie Mont
gomery as the missing heiress gave ex-
Cellent support.

CARS STOP On
NEAR SIDE ONLY

Street cars will in future stop to let
passengers on and off at the near side
on the street intersections instead of
on the far one.
The new order goes into effect today
and it is believed it will render acci-
dents less likely to happen.
The idea meets with the approval of
the accident commission and of railroad
men. The latter say there should be
uniformity regarding street car stops.
however as strangers coming here will
usually wait at the wrong corner and
no stops will be made.
San Francisco has a similar ordi-
nance and there are metal discs i'm
bedded IN the street to guide the motor
man in stopping his car at the proper
point.
Street car men say that the stopping
of cars on the near side is being prac-
ticed in many large cities and is in
accordance with the recommendations
of the Street Railway association,
which mas had reports made on the
Subject by special committees.
The advantages are that it enforces
slow speed across intersecting points
where collisions are most apt to oc-
cur and prevents the usual two stops
being made at both sides of a crossing
which is now the case. This is a big
time saver in the congested portions
of the city where cars, as rule, lose
most time.
On streets paved with asphalt cars
will stop so as not to obstruct the
crosswalks.
On unpaved streets cars will stop
with front steps opposite the near cross
walk.

MAX BROWN GETS
MARRIAGE LICENSE

MURDERED SENATOR
Like His Father He Has Had Check.
cred Career with the Fair Sex.
Married Once Before
and Divorced

Max Brown, aged "a, a native of
Utah and resident of Salt Lake, applied
for a license yesterday to wed Char
lene F. Mitcheneo, aged 10, native of
Ohio and resident of New Philadelphia,
Ohio.
If, as is believed, this is Max Brown,
the son of former Senator Arthur
Brown who was shot in Washington
by Anna NJ. Bradley about three weeks
ago, the prospective bridegroom has a
career.
1t is said that Max Brown, the son
OF Senator Brown, was considered one
of the finest young fellows in Salt
Lake until he went to Ann Arbor.
While there he fell in love with a tele-
phone operator and secretly married
her. He failed in his studies and went
to Chicago university, where he inn
mediately became popular with the
fair sex, posing as an unmarried youth.
When he had been there about seven
months he created sensation by ap-
plying for a divorce from his first wife.
Three weeks ago mis- father las shot
by Mrs. Anna Bradley, who was the
mother of three of his children, Mrs.
Bradley asserted that he had repeatedly
promised to marry her, and when she
heard he was planning to marry an
other woman, she went to Washington
and killed him.
Max Brown is now generally spoken
of as a chip off the old block. At the
time of his fathers death he was COM
pletlng law course at the University
of Michigan. He came on to Salt Lake
to take charge of his fathers estate
and was made executor under the will
which divi-es the property valued at
$4,000, between him and his half sis
ter. Alice Brown. His mother was
Isabel Cameron Brown, who went with
Arthur Brown to Salt Lake when the
latter deserted his first wife at Kala-
mazoo, Mich.

MOTHER IS GWEN
CARE OF DAUGHTER
WOMAN is ADDICTED TO THE
DRUG HABIT
Tells Court She Begen Taking Nor.
phlne to Quiet Her Nerves,
Aroused by Cruelty Of
Her Husband

After a bitter legal battle before
Judge Gibbs OF department 2 OF the
Los Angeles superior court Monday
Mrs. Francis M. Doris 81 years OF
age, wife OF A. 7. Doris, a prominent
banker OF Harrisburg, ILL.,. was de-
clared incompetent and placed under
the guardianship of her mother. Mrs.
Kate NJ. Pickett OF Riverside,
The case was most peculiar one,
and Doris came to Los Angeles to
assist his mother-in-law In tearing her
daughter away from what she consid-
cred improper influences.
Although only 81 years of age Mrs.
Doris testified that she had been mar
ried sixteen years and that she had
little girl II years of age. Following
the marriage she stated that her hus-
band had abused her and had been
unfaithfui to her and for that reason
she had taken up the drug habit by
using morphine to quiet her nerves.
She alleged that her husband had
been cruel to her, had shown her let
ters from other women to him, had
beaten her and that lately he had at
tempted to be appointed guardian to
prevent her from becoming member
of the Roman Catholic church.
Sued for Divorce
For that reason she said she had
commenced suit Tor divorce from MIN
i'm the east and that she would never
live with him again. She further tes-
titled her husband had tried to in
timidate her by displaying revolver
and demanding that she return home
with him.
Several rambling letters written by
the woman to her relatives touching
chiefly on her religious trouble and her
attempt to break away from the Prot
testant faith and become a Catholic
were read in court.
Doris took the stand during the
afternoon session. He stated that he
had never struck lis wife but once,
and that was one time when he re-
turned home to find his wife lying in
a bath-tub filled with water and that
finding that she was unconscious from
the use of morphine he had struck her
her.
He further testified that since he
sent his wife to California to the Glen
dale sanitarium to be cured of the
drug habit she had escaped and taken
up with a certain woman of Long
Beach who had prejudiced her against
her husband. 1t was to get Mrs. Dor
ris from under this woman's power
that the appointment of her mother as
guardian was asked.
Judge Gibbs before the close of thea
session granted the mothers petition.s
and Mrs Doris will probably be taken
back to her eastern home to be careQ
for by her relatives. 1

Inc nearest dppTOdCu IL DoSlOIl,
where the rice is 80 cents, while in the
greater number of cities of the first
class the average price Is about $1.15,
and the city of Richmond, Va, which
owns it's own plant, charges $125 for its
product.
Seventy-fve cent gas is the goal to-
ward which the Los Angeles company
has been working for q number of
years, and if conditions warrant the
final reduction during the coming year
the consumers will be benefited to the
extent of an additional scent reduction
beginning January /, 1908.
The company makes no promises be-
yond the announcement that 76-cent
gas is the ultimate price, but the fact
is pointed out that thirteen reductions
have been made during the seventeen
years which the present corporation
has been in business.
The Los Angeles Gas company was
the original gas making institution, and
when it was bought out by the Los
Angeles Lighting company in 1889 the
price in force was $3.50. Immediately
afterward this was reduced to $225, and
since then there has been gradual
decrease.
In 1890 the price was cut to 81, and
there is remained until July /, 1895,
when it went to $1.90. The subsequent
reductions were as follows:
July 1, 1906. $1.75; July /, 1898, $1.65;
January 1, 1900, $1.60; July /, 1900, $3.50;

"Pop" Blanchard's Right-Hand Man
Expected to Land the Plum of
Purchasing Supplies
for the City

If "Sid" Hitler. who will be COM
PEELED to place the prefix "ex'' to his
title of councilman after January 7, is
provided for by the new administration,
it will be in some other position than
the proposed position of purchasing
agent for the city. so it is quietly as
serted about the city hall.
Connected with the same assertion Is
the statement that the man who will
be selected as purchasing agent is
George Lyons, one of the best known
Republicans of the Ninth ward and
who, as E. L. Blanchard's chief lieu
tenant in the recent campaign, carried
the Ninth ward councilman through to
victory.
Mr.. Lyons promised selection as the
city's purchasing agent, it is said, is
not due to the fact that he success
fully managed Mr.. Blanchard's cam
paign, but that he is eminently quail
fed for the position.
For some time Mr. Lyons has been
president of the Ninth Ward Improve
ment association, and he owns consid-
erable property in the Boyle Heights
section of the city.

PRICE OF Gas
IS NOW REDUCED
CITY ENJOYS EXCEPTIONALLY
LOW RATE
No other City Excepting New York
Has Such Cheap llluminant and
Fuel--Beats Municipality
Owned Systems

Had the song "How Would You Like
to BE the 1ceman?" been written In Los
Angeles about thirty years ago, the
gasman instead of the iCeman would
have been immortallzed
Ten dollars for each thousand cubic
feet of gas was the price that resi-
dents of Los Angeles were compelled to
pay in the seventies; but there was one
consolation to the manufacturers, and
that was that there were fewer people
to kick about the size of their bills as
there would be were the same price to
prevail today.
Instead of such price, which no one
could be made to believe was not ex-
orbitant even i'm the early days of the
city, Los Angeles today viii have the
proud distinction of being one Of two
cities-the other being the metropolis
of the western hemlsphere--where the
price of gas is the lowest ever charged
for the illuminant, and with the pros
pect that by the time another year rolls
around Los Angeles will be noted,
among other things for paying lower
price than any city on the American
continent for it's gas.
Beginning today so cents per 1000
cubic feet will be the price of the article
on sale by the Los Angeles Gas and
Electric company, and citizens of New
York are the only others who are so
fortunate in this respect.
