HOBART BOSWORTH
SHOWS PAINTINGS
Popular Actor Exhibits as Much Tai.
ent with the Brush as He Does
Behind the Foot
lights

Society has been turning out in force
the past week to view the exhibition OF
paintings by Hobart Bosworth, which
are hung in the Steckle gallery. Mr..
Bosworth was very prominent last year
as leading man at the Belasco, and his
popularity has not been dimmed by his
absence. Recently he has returned and
while his health will not permit his
taking his old role of leading man, he
has become stage manager at the Be-
lasco, and his old friends have well
coined him back with open arms.
A little more than six years ago,
when overcome by illness, Mr.. Bos-
worth went to Arizona and there took
up painting, which he had always
loved, but deprived of his work on the
stage he had sufficient time to make
great headway in his painting. Last
year Mr. Bosworth gave an exhibition
of his work at this same little gallery,
and since that time he has spent the
winter on the desert, making many
sketches and as result of this last
trip he is showing over thirty cam
vases of the desert.
Mr.. Bosworth has been leading man
with Mrs. Fiske, Amelia Bingham, Flo
renee Roberts, Julia Marlowe and has
won for himself a name that few
American actors can claim. He was
one of the most popular actors of the
Belasco, and his many admirers have
taken great interest in his work with
the brush. And that this interest is
we'll merited visit to the gallery with
its array of desert scenes will show.
Mr. BoSworth has a large number OF
sketches which he will doubtless work
up into larger canvases. His pleasing
personality is winning him many
friends in the art world, aside from the
work he has on exhibition.

THEODORE A. BELL
GIVEN GOLD EMBLEM

The fifty-fifth grand lodge of Odd
Fellows and the Rebekah assembly Of
California are now numbered among
the past events.
The sessions yesterday were the clos
ing of the largest attended and most
harmonious gatherings of the grand
lodge and assembly in the history of
California.
The sessions were mostly devoted to
the reading of the final reports and the
installation of the officers elected last
Thursday
A principal event of the closing grand
lodge was the presentation of valu-
able gold jewel set with diamonds to
tt -odore A. Bell, retiring grand mas
ter. An eloquent presentation speech
was made by Senator S. w. Cartwright,
author Of the antitrust bill placed be-
fore the Legislature. Past Grand Mas
ter Bell made a happy response.
Soon after the closing of the grand
lodge and assembly the halls and places
that had been so full of life and energy
presented forsaken appearance.
The delegates will soon scatter for
their homes to await the next grand
lodge meeting in Sacramento next year.

HAS NERVE ENOUGH
TO ASK FOR $1,000

1t takes a whole lot of self-confidence,
assurance, or what is called in COM
mon parlance, nerve, to ask man for
a loan of a thousand dollars, but it
takes a whole lot more to request a
stranger to give you the same amount.
Such, however is the splendid assur-
ance possessed by a Kentucky man who
yesterday placed the most remarkable
billboard ever seen in Southern Cali
fornia at Ocean Park. At Pier avenue,
where every incoming car discharges
it's cargo of beach merrymakers, a
great sign - by &c feet in size bears
this remarkable legend:
WHO'S GAME?
Will some lady or gentleman who
has more than enough money to keep
them during their natural life please
give me $1,000 to finish a trip of tour
ing the United States for a purpose?
Address P. o. Box 3, Los Angeles, Cal.
The advertiser has sufficient conf
dence in the human race to believe that
the remarkable sign will bear golden
fruitage.

Jimmy's Choice

Jacob A. Riis tells of a little boy
who earned his living by blacking
boots. Every Sunday he attended a
mission school. This school, through
his well-meaning teachers, decided to
have Christmas tree. The gifts for
the pupils were provided for them by
the teachers and some patrons of the
school.
Jimmy, the bootblack, was there
Christmas eve, but was much disap-
pointed when his present proved to be
copy of Browning's poems. He folded
it carefully in the paper in which he
received it and took it home.
The next Sunday the superintendent
of the mission school announced that
any child who was disappointed with
his or her gift could exchange it.
Jimmy marched boldly to the front
with his.
What have you there, Jimmy?"
