OCEAN PARK, Jan. 13.-All is in
readiness for the grand jubilee ball TO
be held at the Horseshoe auditorium to-
morrow night when it is expected that
the various opposing factions Of this
section will bury all past differences
and join hands, firmly resolved to
henceforth work as a united body for
the interests of the Santa Monica bay
district as a whole.
Community misunderstanding are to
disappear like sun-kissed frost, and the
bitter feeling that exists between the
officials of the two cities will dissolve
as septic tank donations should, if there
is no hitch in the arrangements.
On this point, however, there appears
to be some question. A. r. Fraser, pres
ident of the Community league, has
publicly announced that neither he or
any member of his family Will attend or
take any interest in the success of the
ball, and it is said that other we'll
known men of affairs, both here and at
Santa Monica, have declared themselves
opposed to the arrangements.
Incidentally it Is a part of the plans
to enrich the band fund with the pro-
ceeds from the sale of tickets, which

man C. H. Brown expects about 400 will

HIGH TIDE SEASON is ON
First of Series Strikes Beach, but
Does No Damage to
Property
snecial to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
VENICE, Jan. 13.-The first series of
high tides which it is predicted will last
for three days was here on time this
morning but did no appreciable damage
to either the frontage or to the residence
property facing the beach,
Several hundred persons We're out
soon after daylight in anticipation of
seeing some havoc wrought by the high
rollers and We're happily disappointed.
Tomorrow morning the tide will be
higher and may wash back as far as the
board walk, and the tide Tuesday morn
ing will probably be the highest of any
since the last high tide of a year ago,
only in the Short Line beach district
has it been found necessary to take
any special precautions against damage
from the water, all other sections of the
beach having sufficient area between the
normal high tide line and the prom
enade to practically insure against any
damage to residence property.
The tides may, however, carry off con-
siderable gravel from along the beach
as resulted last week. which at thi;
time, owing to the recent depredationS
of building and road contractors, can il
be spared

SUNDAY NEWS NOTES FROM
THE VALLEY CROWN CITY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Jan. 13.-The rain, which
lasted practically all night and well
into the morning, put an effective
damper on many Crown City plans for
Sunday. The regular Sunday after
noon band concert in Central park was
not given because of the wetness of
the lawns. Many of the streets, how
ever, dried up sufficiently for driving
and walking and afternoon promenade.
The Rev. George NJ. Morrison, the
newly selected pastor of the North
Congregational church over which
the Rev. Henry Z. Staats presided for
so many years, occupied his new pull
pit this morning and delighted an un-
usually large audience. Mr.. Morrison
was formerly the pastor of a large
church in st. Paul, Mimi, and came
west because of his health.
Mr.. William d. Russell, one of the
leading contractors of the Crown City,
delivered a talk on practical Chris
tianity to men at the 4 o'clock meet
ing in the Y. NJ. c. A auditorium this
afternoon. Mr.. Russell had for his
subject, practical Thoughts for the
New Year" and a very large audience
of men paid marked attention to the
address
The Rev. John B. Green, one of the
strong men of the Southern California
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, preached this morning in the
North Pasadena Methodist church.
Rev. Mr.. Green has been presiding
elder of both the Fresno and Los An
geles districts and is widely known in
evangelical circles as a hard worker.

THRILLS ABOUND IN
GOOD MEL0DRAMA
AT THE PEOPLES

One can see a good melodrama, a
good company and the women can
revel in sight of beautiful wardrobe
this week. All of this is embraced in
The Gamblers Sweetheart" which
played to a good house yesterday at the
Peoples.
The plot hinges on the resemblance
of twin sisters, one of whom is en-
gagged to marry Governor Hawthorne
of the sunny south, and the other is
linked to a villain by wedlock. The
turns of fate that beset these young
women save to maintain a warm inter-
est by the audience, the love story be-
ing of the heart throbs kind and the
villainy clear cut and suddenly ter
minated in the defeat of the schemer.
Miss Leota Howard. the star, is
handsome. speaks her lines we'll and
wears gowns becomingly. She puts life
into her acting and has the parquette
and the gallery with her all through
the play. Supporting her is a company

MINSTREL SHOW
AT THE GRAND BRINGS
UP OLD MEMORIES

Once a year amusement lovers like
their minstrel show as they do their
circus. 1t brings back the old times.
They can get "reminiscences at the
Grand this week. hear a few songs well
sung and laugh at jokes that pleased
In other days and some of which still
please.
Vests minstrels hold the boards,
though the lamented West is no longer
here. Sanford B. Ricaby, for years
associated with the late minstrel king,
is now at the head of the troupe.
Singers are we'll placed in the pres
ent company, but the end men are not
up to the old standard. The humor Of
George Van and Dick Mitchell is in sad
need of revision and freshening.
The Introductory overture, made up
Of the companys solo strength Of seven
voices, is the usual minstrel medley,
which unfortunately Is too short The
audience wanted more of 1t. The work
of j. Roswell Wright stood out bright
est here. Wright sang the old fash
ioned, sweetly beautiful ballad, "Sil-
yer Threads Among the Gold" as it
has never been sung here before.
Wright is a male soprano of remark
able purity of tone. His voice is as
clear as O. bell, his music flows with
| the ease of running water. Many q
woman singer envied the clarity and
| ease of voice which Is Wright's gift
and his work was by far the best of the
engagement.
James Cantwell is also blessed with
fine tenor, his song, "Since Nellie
Went Away" making a good impress
sion. William Renaud, the bass. sang
well, but his selection was not a
happy one. In the bass repertoire there
are many better ones which he could
sing and shine at it. Dick Mitchells
laughing song had the usual effect OF
provoking laughter. but 1t was almost
painful to see Mitchell forcing the
work.
The "Battleship Four" a quartet
which does ten minutes of laugh max.

MARY VAN buren,
A FINE DOROTHY
DELIGHTFUL IN STRENUOUS
PLAY AT THE BURBANK
Henry stoekbridge Close Second In
Popular Esvor-Good Minstrels at
the Grand-cIever Company
at the Peoples

Mary Van Buren, has done some clev-
er work since she has been playing at
the Burbank here OF late, but nothing
In which she has appeared has been
half so good as her impersonation OF
the willful and tempestuous Dorothy
Vernon In the play OF that nan. which
opened there yesterday. The character
seems to ut her like glove; she is
wholly at home In IL, and IL Is de-
light from start to finish.
The play itself is bright and snappy
drama OF swords and oaths and hair
breadth escapades, which. though all
improbable i'm these prosaiC and matter
of-fact days. yet seem real In the haze
which clusters about the brave old
times when good Queen Besc ruled.
Episodcal and unreal as IL is, and
strenuous withal, II yet makes n stir
ring evenings entertainment, and two
capacity audiences found 1t quite TO
their liking yesterday.
But even the seasoned critic, though
he may find fault with the play, must
admit that it is worth while If only to
afford Miss Van Buren, this fine OPP
portunity to show her talents and Win
someness. She proves so beautiful, so
fetching, so lightsome and yet so low
able; so harum-scarum, yet so real ana
loyal. that one smiles with her wit and
weeps with her woes perforce, even
though one notes the inconsistencies
and condemns the morale of 1t all. Miss
Van Buren, is consummate actress
in such roles as this, and Manager
Morosco will be wise if he puts on
more such plays. 1t would be de-
light to see her in "Knighthood," for
instance; how well she would portray
the fiery sister of bluff King Hal!
Quite next to Miss Van Buren-nay,
right I'D with her-is Henry Stock
bridge as the Jester Perkin. He gives
us a feeling and very human portrayal
of this rather unusual character, and
proves himself an artist of the highest
stamp.
William Desmond makes a very fair
John Manners, and John Burton, his
comedy legs in black tights, would be
the irascible Sir George, were it not
that his underpinning calls forth
laugh even in his soberest moments.
Arthur Rutledge has the thankless role
of Sir Malcome, and is satisfactory as
this villain, though not good enough to
inspire Kisses from the gods-the su-
preme test. Lillian Lamson is too
pretty to play Elizabeth, but other
wise is excellent, and Maude Gilbert is
fine as Mary of Scotland. Carrie
Clarke Ward is good as Lady Vernon.
and Phyllis Griffen is bright as Jen-
ME, the maid. The settings, while not
historically correct in detail, especially
as to Haddon hall, are pi turesque and
The play as whole goes
we'll, and much might be said of the
ensemble, did not Mary Van Buren,
and Henry Stockbridge-So tower over
all else as to require that a review give
them especial praise and prominence.

PASADENA, Jan. 13.-Business men
are watching with keen interest the
result of a double hotel battle. The
fight, though, of course, none of the
hotel people would admit that one ex-
lists, is between the two newest hostel
ries and the two oldest, and supposed
ly most firmly intrenched. However,
one of the youngsters is this season.
for almost the first time. experiencing
the real measure of great success and
is, correspondingly, cutting into the
business of its nearest rival
The contest is as yet absolutely good
natured, but how long it will thus con-
tinue with old customers going to a
new hotel is an unsolved question. Two
years ago there were, in the estimation
of many, but two great tourist hotels
in Pasadena-the Hotel Green and the
Hotel Raymond. Little by little addi-
tions to the Hotel Maryland have
sprung up until that caravansari has
assumed mammoth proportions and the
Green suddenly realizes that the little
colonial house." as it was once called,
is now a keen rival.
Coupled with this discovery comes
the announcement of another addition
to cost $150000 to be built next sum-
mer to the Maryland, which Will make
the hotel one of the largest IN TINS
section.
AS a rival to the Hotel Raymond
comes the new Hotel Wentworth, which
is to open it's doors for guests within
the next few weeks. Both are semi
suburban hotels, each with a very
large site, some distance from any
city. AS General Wentworth managed
the Hotel Raymond for many years it
is natural that both should now be
after the same business.
Keen as the rivalry is up to the
present time, it has simply served to
attract more people to Pasadena than
usual. All the four big hotels appre-
ciate that business must be developed
to make room for the big enlargements
and so the east is being literally cam
vassed. The quartet of hostelries is
sending out booklets advertising the
Crown City and Southern California
and in the resulting rush of business
all will prosper. The Hotel Maryland
alone has about $50 guests, many more
than it would have accommodated
couple of years ago with comfort.

PARKING QUESTION RENEWED
Long Beach Citizens Divided on Plan
to Eeautify the Ocean
Front
Special 10 The Herald.

LONG BEACH, Jan. 13.-The agita-
tion looking toward the parking of the
bluff along the ocean front has been
renewed The petition which was pre-
sented to the council by Il number of
property owners asking that steps be
taken to make desired improvements
along the water front between Chest
nut avenue and Collins way, met with
considerable opposition and was short
ly afterWard withdrawn by the ign
ers. The petition has been submitted
again, however, and is now in the
hands of the public works committee.
appended to the petition is a report
made by {. chamber of commerce COM
mittee which was appointed to look
into the bluff parking scheme and in
Vestigate it thoroughly The report
does not materially affect the situa-
tion.
While all the prominent property
owners and business men are one I'm
the belief that the bluff should be
parked, thus adding greatly to the
citys charms, majority of the Coun-
cilmen and apparently majority of
the citizens feel that the scheme now
under consideration is a bad one, as
it involves giving up some of the city's
property fer tie use of Individual own
ers.
The latest plan to be suggested is
that the purchase of a part of the
bluff be brought about by means OF
contemplation proceedings ana an is
sue of bonds. Such a move to secure
for the city title to this property would
be to reclaim that which many believe
never should have been allowed to pass
into the hands of individuals.
