Dramatic Notes

Judge Rosalsky in the court of gen.
eral sessions of New York has dis
missed the theatrical trust indictments
against Marc Klaw and Abe Erlanger
holding that the so-called theatrica!
trust is not a combination in restraint
of trade There is no appeal from the
decision and 1t will doubtless apply to
the cases of AL. Hayman, Charles From
man and Nixon & Zimmerman, Whc
were also indicted. The indictments
were found on the testimony OF Davld
Belasco, Lee Shubert and some out OF
town managers.
Miss Olga Nethersole has gone to the
south of France for a few weeks. she
will return to Paris on her way to Lon
don, where she goes to engage a new
company for next season. She is mak-
ing a study of tuberculosis and INTENDS
to give some talks on that subject IN
America. 1t will be remembered thai
last year she formed an internat1onal
woman's league to deal with the whlte
plague.
William A. Brady will present Wright
Lorimer in a new play next season
Contracts have been signed for the pro-
duction next fall of drama by TWO

LESLIE KINe-GRAND
Maude Adams Coming

VX WITHOUT doubt one of the most
wv important engagements of the
entire season at the Mason
theater will be the visit of Maude
Adams in her famous play, Peter
Pan" the week of July 8. The pro-
duction comes almost direct from the
Empire theater, New York, where 1t
ran all last season and most of the
present season to crowded and en-
thusiastic audiences.
The fame of Miss Adams perform
ance in Peter Pan" and the fact that
this will be her first visit to Los An
geles in two years will create an un-
usual interest in the engagement. The
story of j. M. Barrie's Peter Pan is
so well known that it scarcely needs
any introduction. 1t has been per-
formed before every class of English
speaking theatergoers in England
and America. 1t is universal in it's ap-
peal.
Peter Pan" is the sort of play
however, that effects different per-
esons in the most widely different man.
ner and for widely different reasons,
yet it would take about as long to
catalogue all these reasons as to tell
why Maude Adams is one of the most
beloved actresses on the stage today
The quaintness and whimsicality Of
its humor were the qualities that won
Peter Pan" high tribute from Mark
Twain. To w. Dean Howells it ap-
pealed for the sweetness of its story
and the homelinesS of it's truths.

has lodged near the theater and has
kept himself in close touch with ev-

ants have ever had the inspiration of
his genial presence, and in the last
analysis, everyone, from soloist to
chorus, from business head to super
and stage hand, is delighted to give
to him the honors due for the superb
artistic success of the venture, the
while everyone connected with the af-
fair loves him devotedly as an ad-

I "Of a sudden the fish all darted away
in the direction of Devils pool, and for
a few seconds everything was quiet
Then the water was lasheC to a foam
and dead crawf1sh flew in every direc-
ton. When 1 looked again / saw a
magnificent eleven-pound bass rise
slowly to the surface and turn over on
it's side. Scuttling down the stream
were dozen or so survivors of the
crawfish army, most of them minus
their fighting claws.
''They had licked that bass and in
the end killed him. 1t was the great
est underwater fight ever saw
Speaking Of bass" said McGucken,
1T had /. friend who was simply done
to death by them. No; he wasn't drawn
in by whopper and drowned, nor did
he choke, like you fellows should, on
the tales of any; he was simply scared
to death by the ghosts of the finny
tribe that he had tipped from the
streams.
His name was Joshua Rickerts; he
lived in Wisconsin, and he gave up this
life in an agony of delirium on a Sat.
urday morning. after being out fishing
most of that week.
"Rickerts was one of the best known
fishermen along the Fox river, and
amaSSed a small fortune selling MS
tremendous catches. On one day he
brought home seventy pounds of bass.
HE made no pretense of fishing for
the sport and freely admitted that he
was game hog. When he found a
new bass hole instead of informing
other fishermen, he carefully kept the
secret and fished the place until not a
bass was left.
"It is not unreasonable to say that
during the last twenty years this man
caught 10000 bass and, averaging them
at twelve inches, the fish, if laid out in
line, would stretch over a distance of
ten miles.
"Rickerts haG made great plans for
the new season. He had his patent
hooks, extra rods and lines put in or
der, and had caught large number of
stone catfish and sinners to be used as
bait.
Late ON Friday night the members
of his family were aroused by shrieks
of fear, and entering his room, found
the man beating off millions of imagin-
ary bass that threatened him. Doctors
were of no avail, and early Saturday
morning he passed away in agony
Then the clock struck-no one blamed
it. 1t struck /, Sunday morning, and

whole company out into the night.

membrance as perhaps the greatest
lyric tenor America has produced.
During the many long years that this
remarkable organization held the pre-
mier place in musical annals, Tom
Karl was it's mainstay and strength.
One of it's founders, he devoted his
talents and energy unreservedly to it's
success and up to the very moment Of
it's dissolution he upheld it's traditions
with voice and purse. He was one of
it's principal owners, and with Henry
Clay Barnabee and w. H. Macdonald,
composed the immortal trio whose
names will live as long as operatic his
tory lasts.
When he came to Los Angeles to
live, Mr.. Karl brought with him all
the SKILL managerial ability and love
of music which had gone so far to
sustain the Bostonians during their
decades of success. He saw here a
fallow field for a recrudescence of
genuine opera, and he never rested
until he grew busy in it. The Cali
fornians originated in his fertile brain,
and for weeks he labored to make the
organization possible. He drew to him

from an encyclopedia had been tied tc

That took we'll; very well. Then
eastman broke in:
"Do you know why bass jump" he
asked. "Well, I'll tell you. 1t is re-
lated for a fact that the reason bass
jump-and it is common practice of the
fish-is because they wish to acquire
grace and strength in testing their
ability against that of fishermen.
Several men who say they know
what they are talking about point out
that bass do most of their jumping
during the spring and are especially
active just before the open season be-
gins.
"At this time they may be seen doing
long distance jumps, somersaults and
side stepping.
zone bass expert goes so far as to
say that he spent an entire afternoon
watching three-pound bass dragging
a long willow sapling through the
Water and acting as if it were caught
on hook.
"Leaping into the air it would turn in
half circle as if to disgorge the barb,
and then it would swim backward in
an endeavor to9snap the branch.
This fisherman asserts that what
jumping the bass do during the sum-
mer is merely to keep in practice and
not get stale"
That's very true" said Richie-Ling;

But did you ever see one fight?'
asked Dewey.
"Yes," said eastman, "I have seen
them fight, often. In fact, l never
hooked one that didn't fight"
Nor l." replied Ling.
"Oh, I don't mean fight the angler;
I mean fight other fish. Now let me tell
you of an incident which 1 witnessed
