MISS DOROTHY DONNELLY, who is
WI playing the Mouse in 'The Lion
Ii1 and the Mouse at the Mason this
week. and who was the original Candida
in this country, is naturally great ad-
mirer of Bernard Shaw. In London Miss
Donnelly frequently has been guest at
the Shaw home and the intimate picture
she gives of the playwrights home life
casts an altogether new light upon the
Shaw personality
In this country, where ne never mas
been, Shaw is known largely through MS
vagaries-or at least through vagaries at
tributed to him. This, according to MISS
Donnelly, has resulted in misconceptlon
of the man.
''Mr. Shaw" she says, "is not poseur.
He is tremendously in earnest. His chief
interest is politics. He is a Socialist. VI
course in Candida he was popularly
supposed to have written a satire on so
cialism. though what he really did write
was a remarkable study of calf love.
His home life is beautiful. Mrs. Shaw
idolizes him and he her. They work TO-
gether, even in his political activities, and
Mrs. Shaw is no less enthusiastic oo-
cialist than her husband.
s'Shaw's wit is no less keen and cutting
in his conversation than in his WRITINGS.
| Occasionally he directs it against himself.
| In one talk we had / referred to MAJOR
Barbara which did not meet with much
success upon the stage, and asked MIN
why 1t was.
| "He replied that the third act OF MAJOR
Barbara was 'rattlng good melodrama.'
| Rut the fourth act he continued, you
should have seen the British public leav-
| ing the theater before that fourth act was
finished and then followed a highly
humorous account of the stampede which
spelled failure for his latest play.
"When 1 was in London this last sum-
ner Mr.. Shaw was at work on MS auto
hioqranhv and was preparing Major
barbara for publication. He is methodl-
cal worker, devoting the morning hours

FRIENDS SEEK MAN WHO
ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM
Fears Expressed That John Draper
May Have Committed Suicide
and Police Join in
Search

The police yesterday were asked to aid
in the search for John d. Draper of
Escondido who escaped from the Mona
M. Monahan sanitarium, 2S14 Downey
avenue, November p.
Draper became insane at Escondido
about September 1S, according to a state
ment of his attorney, Andrew G. Park
Proceedings were brought before the SUI
perior court of San Diego county in his
behalf and he was declared insane, and
DR.. Crise was appointed guardian OF
his person and estate.
DR.. Crise placed Draper in a private
sanitarium in Los Angeles, from which
he escaped a week ago and has not been
heard of since by his friends or relatives.
1t is said Draper has, on two or three
occasions, attempted to commit suicide.
Draper was married at Escondido four
years ago. The couple lived happily to-
gether until he became insane. Since
that time he has shown an ungovernable
temper at times and was constantly
watched.
Draper was once a wealthy 1iveryman.
but retired from business some time
ago. d He is described as being GA years
old, black hair. gray mustaehe. He is
five feet nine inches tall and weighs 140
pounds When he disappeared Draper
wore Black sack coat, dull plaid trous-
ers and a soft gray hat He is quite
hard of hearing and holds his hand to

other pictures or images, not by the OBJ

HOLIDAYS AGAIN DELAY
ALL COURT PROCEEDINGS
Superior Judges Will Not Be Able to
Resume Business Until Mon-
day, Although Friday Had
Been Set


1--WE are now confronted with two
brands of legal holidays" said Judge
William James yesterday regarding the
notice sent down by Governor Gillett
on the continuance of the public holi-
days.
This announcement knocks to pieces
the plans of the superior court judge
to open for business Friday morning,
November 20. Now the courts will
wait until Monday before opening. 1t
seems that special holidays are the
particular kind that will not in the
future affect the courts which may con-
tinue to do business when such legal
holidays are declafed.
General legal holidays may still be
declared by the executive and will have
the effect of closing the courts as well
as stopping all other business. The
complexity of varieties of legal holidays
is becoming so great that it is puzzling
the minds of even the judges of the
superior court

SHAW, of course. has had his troubles

One Hundred Pianos
Go Down with a Crash
Great Excitement at Pacific Music Co.,
6z2 South Broadway
Prices Shattered to Smithers

Stirring scenes are being enacted down
at the PACIFIC. Never before in this
city have such inducements been Of
fered to PIANO CUSTOMERS who can
command a little ready money Never
on any occasion have such splendid in
struments gone down with such a
crash to the low level of our present
ridiculous figures. Do not mistake the
meaning of this onslaught on decent
prices. We are in the last act before
the curtain rings down on the PACIFIC
as a retail house. Positively we are
retiring from this phase of the trade
Do not confound this sale with others
where profit is back of every effort to
get your money. Just now we are not
after PROFIT; here is where you get
your money back plus half the value
of any piano you select, or here Is
where you pay for one end of piano
and we give you the other free. This
Is genuine closing out sale. We
would like to be understood and then
is genuine closing out sale. We would
like to be understood and then you will
know why we can and do let more
than 100 PIANOS go out of our doors
AT ANY PRICE. Here is the truth:
This is no removal sale, or special sale,
or cleanup sale, interior player sale,
not any sort of trumped up or make
believe sale, just genuine ripping old
at ANY PRICE. Who comes first Is
served quickest and served mighty
well. Each and every piano has got to
get up and get. Every Piano, Piano
Player, SelfPlaying Piano. every
Grand, Square and Upright, everything
that looks like an Organ or rolls about
on casters has got to get out of this
house without further notice Think
of it. Tell your friends about it New
pianos worth ordinarily from $3.50 to
$500 now going at $156, $195, 1924, and
just little beyond that price the
world of pianos is yours. Why fudge
and wait and plan to come and then
keep waiting some more? Actually get
in here and see what you can hear.
yesterday morning four new pianos
were sold by us before 10 o'clock-and
no wonder at such prices! In the
afternoon there were a throng of buy
ers who would not quit nor be put of
until we had parted with the even
dozen. OF course we do not pretend
! that this was real piano selling; it's all
a one-sided bargain and the only ques-
| tion is why are you not in it? Get
