last week. And MuFphy'S voice carries
the brogue of the "ould sod!" Isn't that
an almost unprecedented combination?
--
An Orpheum audience is usually
pretty long suffering, but once in a
while 1t rebels. 1t couldn't stand Char
lie Cases antique monologuing Mon
day night and virtually ran him off the
stage. I have hinted to Charlie long
before this that he needs q little in
lection of new material into his stunt;
it wouldn't hurt If 1t were all new. 1
don't blame the Orpheum audience for
giving him "the hook" He, deserves 1t.
Tom Karl, impresario of "The Cali
fornians," is not the only one of the old
Bostonians who will step back on the
stage this season. 1 hear that Henry
Clay Barnabee, the old time Bostonian
comedian, is reported to be considering
an appearance in Washington with the.
Aborn opera company for the opening
production of robin Hood" at the New
National theater. Other old Bostonian
favorites, including Charles J. Froth-
ingham, are also arranging to appear
for the opening week. Quite a coinci-
dence, eh?
/ have often wondered why Southern
California and its beauty spots did not
appeal to operatic and dramatic writ
ers more decidedly, especially since
1.-The Rose O. the Rancho" made such
hit of late. But someone has become
wise to the possibilities at last. For
here comes "Noah's Ark" new musi-
cal extravaganza which is to have its
premiere in Baltimore, and is the first
stage offering to show merry -go-round
as feature. This, with an appropriate
musical number, is one of the attrac-
tions Of the second act, which is laid in
Santa Catalina. IL the owners of this
show are wise-provided that it makes
good-they'n bring 1t out here at once.
You can never tell. Now comes the
report from Buffalo that Ethel Levey,
the divorced wife of George Cohan, has
decided TO open big millinery store in
Los Angeles, simply as a business ven
ture. wonder where, how or why2
Keep an eye on Herr FISCHER; he's
doing things at that little show shop OF
his. He is Frightening up his bur-
lesque company and making efforts toI
reach out. / have always grieVed that
Fischer didn't get the old Hotchkiss; l
believe he could have made II go. Now
that It Is to be rebuilt, as rumor has It,
/ want 10 see him step in there after the
Ferullo band quits, and put on a good
burlesque company with tables on one
floor so that a chap can wander in, see
a pretty group Of girls do smart song
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-28

or dance, have a drink and go on his
way rejoicing. 1t would be a gold
mine, and Fischer is just the man to
run such place decently and in order.
Jack Pratt was here last week, ahead
of Henrietta Crosman. Jack is one OF
the few agents whom it is a perennial
joy to see. He has good stuff, well
written, splendid pictures and plenty
of em; he knows lots of gossip and
stories, and is so companionable withal
that when he wanders in once year I
close up shop for the time being and
have it out With him. wish he came
oftener; he never fails to have good
show back of him.

Get Rich Saving Royalty

COME of those plays which cost moth
ing to play have established for
tunes greatly in excess of those
which have been raised by some of the
actors who have invested consider
able sum in new pieces. Henry Irving
and those few producers who have paid
heavy prices have mad gy nt9.

e. H. Sothern perfo aed the .thaw
day an action which a Jew gt6 20
would have called for an scrl az
comment, because of IFS uuusu3i u8-
ture. He sent HauptmGnu, the 4ith0r
of THE Sunken Bell" more ipaa $1,000
in royalties to which the gnthc il8
not know that he was entitled, SOM
ern and Marlowe are paving mnfc i0
living dramatists than any other tWJ
players, but they and Ell oth
Of any prominence have al one lI
another appeared in pls f9- - -
Of which there was nothing to pay.
Shakespeare Ibsen and Lytton are a
formidable trio TO array against those
dramatists who require money for
their works, but the list is far from
complete.
The "Sapho" OF Alphonse Daudet,
which made money in this country for
many actresses, including Olga Neither
sole and May Hosmer. carries no roy
atty attachment. He who Wills may
present it.
And those two dramas that are the
corner stone of every repertory organ
ization in the country-"Uncle Toms
Cabin" and Ten Nights in a Barroom"
--are equally free from the royalty
taint. There are dozens OF versions OF
"Uncle Toms Cabin" and there is no
one to whom to pay the royalties afls-
ing from the performance Of any one Of
them.

company. 1.-The Californians"
- will make it's bow to the public
at the Auditorium tomorrow night in
robin Hood" generally conceded to
he the best American light opera ever
written. The company has been re-
hearsing for weeks and q hearing of it
on several occasions leads the writer
to predict for it an instant success.
The voices of the principals are good,
almost without exceptions some of them
are remarkably so. The chorus is
large, young, pretty and tuneful. The
acting ability of all concerned is of
course yet to be tested as are the or
chestra, the scenic mountings and the
general ensemble. But the rehearsals
afford much promise, and IL is not too
much to hope that the glittering an
nouncements of Impresario = Sparks
Berry will be in good measure carried
out.
Los Angeles ought to support a sea-
son of good light opera literally, If it
is Of the proper sort. This is strong
town musically, and anything deserv-
ing generally does well here. The peo-
pie are hungry for OPERA and crave
that form OF amusement. If their
wishes are respected and they are
given half a chance to become enthus-
iastic, they will run away with The
Californians" from the start.
But much viii depend upon the fore
sight and managerial aeumen dis
played. Los Angeles win respond
gladly TO bright, catchy and up-to-dete
opera, but IL wants no moth eaten, fly
blown relics. "Robin Hood" is a
nne starter and works OF that class
can be had in abundance to follow It.
but we have recently had so much and
