Lefty sees the coarseness of her future
husband, Vaudeville, and, disgusted
with it, turns to Letchmere for help.
The fourth and last. act shows Lefty
and Letchmere in the mans apart
ments. He pleads with her to go with
him to the continent. He cannot marry
her but he will give her everything
that money can buy. Lefty consents
and then the climax of the play occurs.
Letchmere receives letter from his
sister saying that Mrs. Crosbie has
eloped with Drake. Letchmere, in beau
tiful and stirring lines, cries out against
his family's curse, which will not allow
them to live respectable lives. Lefty
watches and when he Is finished asks
him to be the means of saving at least
one good woman. The innate respect
OF the man for virtuous woman moves
Letchmere from his path of lust and he
selnds her back to her humble home
and it's poverty
y 1t is seldom that such an intellectual
play is offered to Los Angeles audi
ences by stock companies. The play Is
full of thought and brings to mind a
thousand problems Of everyday life.
II is play for thoughtful people to see.
There ARE few ensemble effects. The
drama is one of dialogue almost ex-
clusively but the workings of the actors
minds is shown so clearly by their
speech that the interest never flags.
AS for the actors, 1t Is hard to say
one did better than the other, for each
seemed to fit in the part assigned to
him or her completely and the general
effect was to make one feel as If one
were looking upon a scene of real life
and not a fictitious creation played by
people who did not mean just what
they said.
Lewis Stone as Letchmere had the
part which William Faversham played
for season and half In the east. It
is one of reserve. Stone made one feel
the emotions that were going on in his
heart not by movements but by tones
of his voice and looks from his eyes.
AS Lefty, Lillian Albertson Is her
usual pleasing helf. Harry Glazier as
the coarse stockbroker, Vaudeville, is
the character of the piece. He is coarse
enough to please any one
Some stunning gowns are worn by
Adele Harrington. She is the funny
woman, who is funny There is little
humor in the play, but when it does
come to the surface. then John Daily
Murphy, Howard Scott, Thomas Low
ell and Miss harrington worked it for
all 1t was worth-and it pleased, too.

OLD NEGRO FINED $40 FOR
DRIVING DECREPlT STEED

Daniel Fry, white-haired old negro,
was arraigned before Justice Fredrick-
son yesterday on charge of cruelty
to animals. Fry is a very old man,
who persists in refusing to obey the
instructions of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals and to
drive horses which are not in the best
of shape for work The officers OF the
society say he has been warned no
lass than sixteen times to cease driv-
inc decrepit horses on the city streets
and he has been arrested three times in
three years for cruelty to animals.
The veterinary surgeons who were
called to testify in the case yesterday
could not agree as to whether the horse
had been foundered or not, so the JUS
tice let Fry off with $40 fine.

HUMANE OFFICER WILL
PREVENT LOS ANGELES
SEEING "PETER PAM

Humane officer Reynolds will pre-
vent Los Angeles from seeing Peter
Pan"-if he can. And he thinks he
can.
Reynolds has been making himself
very numerous about the theaters OF
late, interfering. under his construc-
ton of the child labor law, with chill
drenS appearances on the stage. Last
week he several times bothered Mrs.
Fiske by driving her choir boys off; he
he even prevented Blanche Aubert from
taking her own baby through one act
of 1.-THE Bohemian Girl" at the Audi
torium, and he made the Belasco cut
out the boys in it's show. Now he
wants to prevent children appearing
with Maude Adams in Peter Pan"
which, of course, prohibits the play en-
tirely, for It's entire action depends not
upon their acting, but upon their ap-
pearance on the stage while Miss
Adams acts.
Reynolds buzzed about the Mason

would do if Manager Wyatt presented
the one play that all Los Angeles now
wants to sea fairy spectacle written
for boys and girls, grown Up and other
wise.
"I don't know what he intends to do
about it." said Manager Wyatt last
night. "The Theatrical Managers asso-
citation will meet today to talk 1t over.
know that Miss Adams is playing
now In San Francisco with the chill
dren, under the same law, and is not
interfered with. 1 think that the state
law allows half the fees to the humane
agent, which may account for his sud

est, as 1t were. Anyhow If the chill
dren cannot appear fhe play cannon

James ]. Callahan. former manager of

RICH STAKES CLOSE
IN A FEW DAYS

NEW YORK. December 1S.-One week
from Thursday next the stake events to
be run during the meetings at Gravesend
Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach will
close. at the same time as several valuable
events to be decided in 1910.
The principal races will be the three big
spring handicaps the Brooklyn. Suburban
and Brighton. which are the richest stakes
for three-year-olds and upward. Each of
these has guaranteed cash value of S25,
900. Although 1t is by all means too early
to predict much the entries will be heavy,
as there are any amount of good horses
which are sure to be named. The west is
bound to be we'll represented. owing to the
fact that few meetings are held there
Quite few of the races are very val
liable. and the different racing associa-
lions have increased money in many of
them. The combined worth of the races
that will close in a week, and which will
be run next year. will he near the half
million mark. With so much money at
stake. horsemen throughout the country
send in many entries
The Coney Island Jockey Club heads the
list with twenty-five stakes, with the total
added money Of something like $50 1000.

the speed with which plays are run off is
nothing less than marvellous.
The stake. also, will make both teams
play to win--10 per cent of the net re-
ceipts to go to the winner, and a small
side bet.
OF the individual players we will say
nothing. but taking them as whole, it
is the fastest naval team that ever

Der OF the executive committee. and his
place is to be filled by c. F. Thompson
to succeed Warren Dickinson of Des

second term as president. Mr. Morgan
was elected secretary in 1904, while Mr.
I1eepher mas nlled the office of treasurer
for seven years.
The annual meeting of the United
States Golf Association will be held
Friday, January II, at 8 pm, at Del
monico's. and in addition to the election
of officers other important business will
have to be transacted. Each associate
club has the right to be represented by
one voting delegate. duly authorized, and
his appointment must be certified by his
club secretary. Each allied club has the
ricr t,f 20
and it is also the privilege of members
other than delegates of clubs in the as
ISOLATION to be present.
There has been some attempt in the
west of late to stir up opposition to that
part of the constitution which gives the
right of suffrage to only associate club
delegates. In the past it has always
been deemed advisable to limit the vot-
ing power to the representative clubs.
The proposed revision of the rules is
also certain toe up for discussion.
In fact the committee at resent wrest-
ling with the subject will undoubtedly
have a report to make. 1t is also likely
that the course for the 1908 champion
ship tournaments will be selected. as
was the case at the annual meeting held
a year ago in Chicago. The champion
ship applicants to date are the same as
previously published. as follows:
Amateur-Garden City Golf Club, Deal
Golf and Country Club, Brae Burn Coun-
try Club. Boston. and Onwentsia Club,
Chicago.
Womens-Philadelp Country Club
and Chevy Chase Club. Washington.
Open-Englewood Golf Club
This early announcement of cham
pionship applicants is the result of a
motion made by Leighton Calkins at the
Chicago meeting to the effect that clubs
wishing to hold championships should
file their applications with the secretary
not later than December l, and that
list of such bids should be sent out by
the secretary with the call for the an
nual meeting.
