BANK CLERKS REHEARSE
FOR BIG MINSTREL SHOW

The approaching minstrel show of the
Bank Clerks association at the Auditor
ium October is so near that Director
George Towle is calling rehearsals fol
practically every night this week. The
program has now been made up in full,
and the several numbers are well along,
so that a success is assured. More than
100 of the local bank clerks will be in the
big chorus, all in blackface and evening
clothes, while the even dozen end men
will appear in the traditional uniforms OF
loud color, half of them equipped with
bones and the other six rafting tambor-
ines.
The interlocutor has been warned that
he may expect choice collection of an
tiquities in the way of jokes-jokes which
antedate even those of the press humorists
who have just left here, and he promises
some rapid fire answers that will be as
good as he gets. The numbers which re-
qure feminine characters are worrying
the boys for long skirts, big hats and the
other mysteries of women's apparel are
not much in their line, but they promise
to master even the fashionable walk be-
fore the curtain rises.
The sketch of "A Bank Clerks Life" IL
is said, will be a scream from start to
finish The seat sale for reservations. at
which may be exchanged tickets bought
of members, will open at the Auditorium

BIG SMELLING PLANTS
DAILY CAPACITY 100 TONS
Pacific Reduction Company's Enter
prise Will Utilize Two Million
Feet of Gas in Twenty
four Hours

From all sections of southern Nevada
and, Southern California comes the de-
mand for a smelter at some point easily
accessible to all lines of railroad and
tributary to Los Angeles.
The Pacific Reduction company VII
erect a 20O-ton smelling plant near Dag
gett Calf, the junction of the Salt Lake
and Santa Fe railroads, or at Crucero
at the junction of the Tonopah & Tide
water and the Salt Lake railroads.
The smelling works will consist of a
lead stack of 10 0tons daily capacity and
a copper stack of equal tonnage, both Of
which will be of the latest type furnace
In addition to the smelter proper the
company has completed arrangements
with Prof. T. S. c. Lowe for the erection
of one of the Lowe coke and gas sys-
tens, which will produce twenty-five tons
or more of coke per day, which has
double the smelting values of any other
coke known and will, double the capacity
of the plant; furnish over 100000 feet
of gas per day, which will be turned into
electricity through the agency of a mod
ern gas engine and furnish power enough
to operate all the machinery light and
heat all the buildings and still leave
enough power to sell to the mining camps
OF this district and furnish light and
power for the entire Mojave valley.

BURBANK PLAYERS REVIVE
sKINNER'S "PRINcE OTTO

Otis SINNERS romantic comedy, first
produced under the title of prince Ru-
doiph,' and later rewritten and again
given to. the stage under the name of
prince Otto" to avoid confusion with
that other Prince Rudolph whose surname
was Rassendyl, was revived at the Bur-
bank yesterday afternoon before the US
ual large and enthusiastic matinee audi
ence. The play served Mr.. Skinner sew
eral seasons, and. has been presented by
him in all of the larger cities of the
country Since then 1t has been done in
stock frequently, and always with sue
cess. The present revival at the Bur-
bank constitutes no exception to this
rule.
The play is frank melodrama, its locale
one of the apocryphal principalities of
Europe, bordering on the domain of his
most august majesty. Emperor Francis
Joseph. Its story is 'le of love and po-
liticaI intrigue It's me~ are brave in
highly decorative uniforms; its women
gracious in court gowns. Thus the stage
pictures are colorfu- and effective.
Story Is Interesting
\The tale told is the old but always
interesting story of a willy minister who
plots the overthrow of the reigning dy-
nasty, and who is foiled in the emf
through the SubueH dWdhSAiu6 VI tiiS
figurehead princeling whose throne is
threatened. Prince Otto is mighty
hunter before his lords, a puppet before
his counselors and a weakling before his
wife. Ultimately he learns to cherish his
love for his princess, but 1t requires
revolution to bring about that much-to-
be-desired eventuality.
The plotter is Baron Won Gondremark,
prime minister of Kronefeld, a man who
wears honors upon his breast but none
within it, He plans 10 make of Krone
field republic in name, with himself as
dictator; and then an empire, with the
dictator turned emperor. His plans, how
ever, miscarry, largely because he makes
the egregious blunder of trusting two
women at once, both of whom chance to
be in love with their sovereign and one
of whom is that. sovereign's wife.
BeasIey as the Minister
A. Byron Beasley plays the rascally
minister, a man swayed solely by ambi-
ton, and his work was so much to the
liking of yesterdays audience that they
insisted upon ,his answering a curtain
call, even though he had just been
stabbed, presumably to death, by the
princess. played by Miss Blanche Hall.
This is the true test of popularity at the
Burbank, and it was bestowed yesterday
in abundant measure. At the close of the
fourth act the applause was so insistent

Bandmaster Appreciates Peoples Love
for Such Pieces and Is Liberal

John Philip Sousa recognizes and ap-
preciates the peoples fondness for ma

verse to mixing them In with the most
classical programs He has learned this
fact from his intimate acquaintance with
American audiences, and as an example
recalls an incident at Fayetteville, N. c.
Upon his arrival in the town with his
band he was waited upon by the COM
mittee that had charge of the musical
program. One of them finally suggested
that they play Dixie" You know, col
onel," he said, I'VE folks down here are
mighty fond of Dixie
Sousa assumed an air of great inn
portancel and said: Gentlemen of the
committee, 1 suppose you ask whether
play Dixie because I am in the service
of the United States and because you sup
pose Dixie Is only a sectional tune.

dwelt on the southern love of home. AS
he was speaking Sousa whispered to his
men to prepare to play Dixie" when he
had finished. And they did. The i'm

clouds of hats went into the air.

this manner Overture, "William Tell, +"
