GOOD VARIETY TO
0RPHEUM ACTS MAKES
SHOW MOST PLEASING

Alfred Kelley and company, present
ing "A Tale of a Turkey" are the fea-
lures at the Orpheum this week. The
act is funny and would be excellent all
around if it were not for Miss Maud
Lee. who takes the part of Nan, the
wife, who talks so fast as to be unin-
telligible and raises her voice to such a
pitch that she squeaks.
The Labakans, acrobatic grotesques,
are not particularly novel, but their
dog Folly carries off the laurels and
redeems the act. He is a little black
and tan, no bigger than minute, but
with intelligence enough to fill in all
the pauses, and then some.
With Maddox and Melvin, THE Mes
senger Boy and the Actress" one is so
occupied in looking at the nightmare
face of the messenger boy that there is
not time enough to watch them do
their stunt. The features are made up
in such horrible outlines that they have
an irresistible fascination.
Chris Smith and the two Johnsons in
their one-act musical comedy, "Astor-
bits Home" are fine. They have good
voices, sing catchy songs and manage
their feet with exceeding gracefulness.
The holdovers are Edgar Atchinson
Ely, in songs; Warren and Blanchard.
the comedian and singer; Marzelo and
Millay, eccentric acrobats and bur-
lesque wrestlers, and Ned Nye, assisted
by his rollicking girls and the Reid
sisters.

BOND ELECTION
IS V|ND|CAT|ON
EAST HOLLYWOOD WINS A
VICTORY
Los Feiz School District Votes for
Improvement and Trustee Party
Is Jubiant Over Its
Success

Residents of Los Feliz school dis
trict in East Hollywood voted yester-
day to issue $4,000 school bonds for the
addition and Improvement to the Los
Feliz school at Prospect and Vermont
avenues.
The victory of the trustees over their
opponents was won on a margin of
only two votes.
On the count the returns showed sc
for the bond issue and AZ against. AS
two-thirds majority is necessary the
trustees had no votes to spare.
The election ends a long and bitterly
fought battle. This is the second cleo
tion held on the bond proposition. The
former election was held at an unsatis-
factory hour and the bonds were de-
feated.
A number of voters petitioned for a
new election, which was held yesterday.
The result Of the election is taken as
a vindication Of the trustees and es-
pecially for ]. B. Murphey, who has
taken an active part in the bond con-
troversy.
The money will lie expended to raise
the Los Feliz school building and build
a number of rooms beneath the old
structure.
Residents of the district declare East
Hollywood is building up so rapidly
new school facilities are an absolute
necessity. Those opposing bonds were,
in the main, it is said, persons who
have no children and took a selfish view
of the question.

greatest actors Of the American stage.
gave to the world his Interpretation OF
"Beslde the Bonnie Brier Bush He
gave it in his own quaint way and his
name has been linked with the part OF
old Lachland Campbell the Highland
sheep herder, ever since.
But Stoddard gave UP the play for
time and Los Angeles has given 1t It's
first appearance in stock or rather
George Barnum has. The play made
its initial appearance here last night
at the BelasCo with George Barnum in
the role of Campbell
That part calls for a little more act
ing than most Thespians are capable
of. To portray the stern old High
lander fighting with the training of
wears, with the tenets of a stiff-neCked
religion that gave him no escape, with
the pride of his age on the one hand,
against an overwhelming love for his
daughter, his only girl, whom he mis-
understood and misjudged to every
ones sorrow. requires the control of
every emotion to which the heart
strings will respond
And Barnum gave a portrayal that
will remain in the hearts of those who
saw and heard him for many a day.
His church was his law, a law stern
and unyielding. the will of God. His
daughter, as he thought, had offended
his church and that was enough With
heart breaking for love of her he forced
her out of his house to become an out
cast then staggered to the window to
place a candle there to light her way
should she return.

lander the Highlander to the life, OBJ
stinate as a mule, tyrannical and over
bearing; the next he was the father.
broken hearted, his sobs shaking his
body, his poor old lips mumbling for
the lamb he had driven from the fold.
And Barnum was not the only one
crying Half his house was with him
and sobs were audible.
Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush" is a
clean, sweet, wholesome play, the kind
one feels better for having seen. There
is not an offensive line in it's entire
length and it ends as all good old plays
end, with everyone making up and lv-
ing happy ever afterwards.
Howard Scott as the POSty does a
piece of acting that is worth going far
to see. His character is a most lovable
one, furnishing him ample material for
his SKILL and he has not overlooked
it. Harry Glazier is also cast in an
CACCllclll lOIc anu ldhtS advantage Oh

old village physician. rather a difficult
piece of work for a heavy man, but

OLD STREET MEN
MAY WALK PLANK
Superintendent Edwards Gets Author
ity for More Help and Asks for
Ruling on Advlsabilty of
Dropping Veterans

A notable increase in the forces of
the board of public works was ordered
yesterday by the city council
Between $50 and $50 men will be kept
busy on the streets hereafter.
They will be kept at work all the
time. The old number was nearer 100,
These, of course, do not include any of
the forces needed on private street
work by contractors. The council also
authorize five new teams and drivers
engaged.
Superintendent of Public Works d.
X. Edwards asked the council for it's
sense in the case of old laborers who
could not earn the $2.25 legally fixed.
He said he did not like to drop these
old men off the rolls, but If his de-
partment was held responsible some
notice should be taken of his super
annuated list. Many of them would be
charges on the city if they were not
given this class of work to do.
Messrs. Blanchard, Healy and Lyon
said they would not vote for the in
crease in forces If these old men were
to be dislodged from employment.
Councilman Wallace objected to ad-
Vising the superintendent, saying that
the problem ought to be left to the
board alone.

HISTRIONIC ART RUDELY SHOCKED
IN CLASSIC OLD SONORATOWN

to several interested listeners at the
time of the beginning of the perform
ance last night. President Staley has
the beneficent and expansive air of a
promoter of large enterprises, and an
interested group gathered about him as
he stood in front of the playhouse and
with generous sweeps of his stick indi-
Gated the area which the theater was
to cover in time as 1t expanded into a
park and gardens with a lagoon, and
possibly bull fighting ring, with some
milder form of sport. There was to be
an esplanade-Mr. Staley was not sure
whether it was an esplanade or a
facade-but it was something like that
with thousands of electric lights, and
there was to be a Spanish band.
Mr.. Staley's description was inter-
rupted by the passage of two con-
stables through the entrance way. The
soul of a constable knows not the
straight for the box office, through the
audience indicated a shocking indif-
ference to the new uplifting forces of
the community, and all its members
turned to watch the constables. The
piano had the string-halt in several of
the keys, and Senorita Espanella, who
was doing a castanet dance, halted
naively, with one foot in the air, when
note was missed, but when she saw
the constables she almost stopped en-
tirely. The writ demanded $149 and
the box Office receipts aggregated $7.1O
Manager T. K. Peters made strong
objections to giving up the money, but
it was taken and the doors were locked
at the close of the performance.

S|DESADDLE IS
AGAIN SOUGHT.
Champions of od-StyIe Riding Saddle
for Women Advance the Theory
That 1t Develops Better
HorseWomen

With the horse show at Pasadena
less than month distant the old ar
gument of sidesaddle versus cross sad
die is again being agitated by the
feminine portion of the Grown City and
verying opinions are being expressed
concerning the determination of the di-
rectors to enforce the use of the side
saddle exclusively. More cross saddles,
in proportion to the number of women
that ride. are probably seen in Pasa-
dena than in any other city of the
country and many of the women be-
lieve that they should be allowed to
exhibit their horses with the equip
ment to which they are accustomed.
On the other hand 1t is claimed that
the highest type of hersemanship, as
far as women are concerned, is to be
found among those who use the side
saddle and as that is the saddle used
almost exclusively by those women
who follow the hounds and engage in
really hard riding, it is claimed that
there is no reason why the modern fad
as it is termed-of the cross saddle
should be encouraged. Opinion is
about evenly divided, but as the di-
rectors OF the association have the
power in their hands they will un-
doubtedly do. as they think best about
admitting anything but the standard
form of woman's saddle.
There has been some talk of adding
a class to the prize list of the horse
show to take care of the California
bred and California broken saddle
horse. There has from time to time
been more or less agitation along this
line and the fact is pointed out that
such a class would be unique among
the horse shows of the country. After
carefully considering the matter the
directors have come to the conclusion
that the objections made to the cross
saddle for women apply equally to the
Spanish-broken horse and Mexican
saddle.

C0HAN SHOW Is A LONG
WAY FROM BROADWAY, BUT
PLEASING AND FUNNY, TOO

"Forty-Five Minutes" it is billed
From Broadway" But it is much
farther from little old New York-at
least, the present edition al the Mason
is from the first, seen there with Fay
Templeton, George Cohan and sixty
famous show girl beauties. Here, right
on Los ANGELES Broadway, eight girls
are considered a sufficient chorus and
they are bargain counter remnants
when it comes to looks, build and
voices.
But then, if New Rochelle is the
"rhubarbs" to New York city. what
must Los Angeles be considered by the
populace that declares that Buffalo is
the far west?
Nevertheless there is more in this
Cohan show than the title, or than one
would expect from a dramatization of
the antique mother-in-laW joke, and
the transmitting of musical comedy
into a melodrama. Perhaps the very
heterogeneous character Of it's elements
makes for interest; who would ever
expect serious safe breaking to
phonograph accompaniment. or ap-
plause for a setting comprising a rail-
road station in a country town. Yet
these are two of the features which go
far toward establishing this concoction
in public favor.
Coincident are the usual tough boy
Cohan always has to have some one
to sling his peculiar slang, just as
George AIDE does. In this case he is
a reformed prize fighter who has turned
secretary to a supposedly high youth,
admirably played, and he is beautifully
adept at fracturing the mother tongue
and twisting terminology In fact. it
is a compile course N mental etymO-
logical exercises TO Try To keep up
with the rapid fire exchange of tor
tuTed English between Kid Burns and
Mary who has a Roland for his Oliver,
and then some, every time. This alone
is worth the price of admission, and
the thrice reVamped Mill joke, with
several rough houses thrown in, do not
detract from the verbal gymnastics.
Then, too, is afforded the novel spec
tacle of a former burlesque queen be
come a bright, winsome, lOYable and
very clever comedienne. Usually this
brand OF femininity degenerates into
the back row of the chorus; but
Corinne Of blessed musical memory is

lighted with the little bundle Of fun.

connection is so very attenuated that
she seems to swing in halves as upon
pivot. If that is the new fashion,
heaven save the women; it means much
torture. Eugene MacGregor as Bennett
would be better If he ceased to do imi-
tations of Georgia Cohan and played
himself more; Cohan in propria person
is not delectable enough to stand for

OF course, as to plot, purpose and ac-

stroyed. Go and see 1t as you would

Chinatown Is Blaze Of CoIored Lights

With the cracking of thousands of fire

doorway, beautiful images of the gods,
GccKed i'm gay array and surmounted
by the lucky peacock feathers We're
above every doorsill. Little prayer
candles cleaned from the tiny shrines
at the doorstoops TO ward off the bad
spirits and call in the good.
Everything of the year depends on
the way the yellow man conducts him
self at New Years. His debts must be
paid, his books must be clear. If a
Chinese fails to pay his debts he is in
disgrace The Chinese never go to law.
a special committee takes charge of
his property and sells it, giving the
greater share to his wife, the remainder
to the creditors, and poor John wanders
away, an outcast.
But there will be no wanderers from
Chinatown this year. All the debts
have been paid, all the demands of the
Gus year and the yellow men let them
selves loose ir the celebration of the
new one
For the remainder of the week China
town win be the scene of excitement.
The great golden dragon on Apablasa
street will be on exhibition, many of
the tong houses may be entered if a
little good will and diplomacy is used.
But for the hOodlums who annually
throng the streets Of Chinatown, many
OF them well dressed rowdies there will
be nothing this year but stern treat
