"THE COUNTY FAIR" AGAIN
PRESENTED AT THE BURBANK

"The County Fair" that first classic
of the race course out of which Neil
Burgess made fame and fortune and
through which he gave to the world
the treadmill for Derby sprints and
chariot races, is again the offering of
the Burbankers this week, to the huge
delight of everyone The play was
done by them just a year ago, and is
thus familiar to every patron of the
house. 1t is hardly to be considered
seriously as dramatic venture, as it's
strength consists mostly in it's home
ly wit and it's rural atmosphere, but
there is a small plot underlying the
horseplay Ono pun intended) and a bit
of pathos now and then that serves
to break the monotony of the laughter
and give the spectators sides a rest.
This time Louise Royce assumes the
rule of Abigail, originated by Burgess
and done here before by Phosa McAllis-
ter. Miss Royce is perhaps not as
unctuous as Miss McAllister was, but
in general she gave a happy interpre-
tation of the simple old rustic and GER
tainly she pleased the audience. Will
liam Desmond disguises his handsome
self as a ruralite of the most pro-
nounced type; John w. Burton is al
ways funny in rube part, and tiny
Blanche Hall in the tattered garments
of Taggs is as natural and as delight
full as can be. The balance of the cast
handle their several assignments salts
factorily, and there is every indication
before the house of a big weather week.

NOVEL MAGAZINE
IS PUBLISHED HERE

"The Vagabond," probably the most
novel periodical which ever found its way
across a magazine stand, is enjoying It's
fifth issue in Los Angeles. .,
The magazinef' like its editor, Everett
Lloyd, is a delightful vagabond that has
an interesting way of coming out in one
city after another. Only one number is
issued in a city, and it is published any
where as soon as the editor can get there
from somewhere else"
With this motto, "A rolling stone gath
ers many subscriptions, the editor has
built a subscription list that looks good
and assures the continuance of the maya
zine.
In the current issue Mr.. Lloyd takes a
hard hit at Seattle, and pays a we'll de-
served tribute to Robert ]. Burdette and
Paul de Longpre as Los Angeles leading
men. The writer takes a speedy, breezy
review of the coast cities in his diary
The next issue will be published in San
Antonio, Tex.

YOUNG GIRLS GET WEST
Cannot Procure Passes, but Secure
ENGAGEMENTS to Sing

Two Chicago girls wanted to spend
few months in Southern California.
A few years ago they would have gone
to railway magnate and held him up
for a pass to the land of sunshine.
But the day of passes is past.
So the two Chicago young women went
instead to Martin Beck and got an en-
gagement at $3.50 per for two weeks at
San Francisco and two at Los Angeles
to sing at the Orpheum.
How easy it sounds!
That was even sabetter than getting a
pass, for passes in their best days would
not pay hotel bills.
These two enterprsng young women
are at the Orpheum this week. They are
the most refined and artistic event on the
program. When they finish their two
weeks they will go to San Diego and some
other places.
Miss Heinrich enjoys the distinction of
being the daughter of the famous Max
Heinrich, and she merits the honor. She
is one of the most enjoyable celebrities
that the Orpheum has brought out here
for many months. Miss Easter comes
from classic Evanston. She sings.
When Miss Heinrich and Miss Easter
get back to Chica go-and Evanston-they
will report to Martin Beck that vaude-
Vile will stand for all the refined and
artistic features that he fishes to en-
gage, provided that the refinement and
art are the real trademarked article.
And if they enjoy their holiday as much
as the Opportunities enjoy their rendition
of the good old songs that mother used
to sing, they say they will come back
again with some more.
Miss Heinrich and Miss Easter are all
right Any girl is all right who can hold
up the manager of the Orpheum circuit
for her holiday expenses.

Is Accused, with Companions, of AS
sauIting Park PatroIman

Lebrun, a pork and beans prize
fighter, and two companions, Paul
Massey and c. F. Smith, were booked
at the central police station last night
on charges of disturbing the peace.
They are alleged to have been con-
cerned in an assault made upon Park
Policeman Rushton at Eastlake park
yesterday afternoon.
Officer Rushton arrested a youth
whom he does not know near the upper
end of the lake on complaint of a young
girl that he had insulted her.
When he started to take the youth
to patrol box and summon the wagon
to take him to the station the officer
says ne was attacked by six friends of
the prisoner.
The officer alleges he was overcome
by force of numbers and brutally
beaten and kicked by members of the
gang and the prisoner taken away.
Last night Lebrun, who is alleged
to have kicked the officer after he had
been knocked down, and Massey and
Smith were arrested at a down town
theater and placed in Jail.
Later Massey and Smith were re-
leased on their own recognizance for
their appearance in court this morning.
The pugilist was held in Jail.

GRAND MELODRAMA GIVES
CHARLES GUM HIS CHANCE
DOES REAL ACTING IN RATHER
STRONG ROLE
No Red Fire of Gun Play, Yet Drama
PIeases the Crowds-Tells COM
pIicated Story-Burbankers
in "The County Fair"

The Ulrich stock company sprang a sur
prise on the patrons of the Grand yester-
day, and strange to say the patrons
seemed to like the sensation. You can
generally predict that If there Is plenty
of red fire and horseplay in a melodrama
it will draw crowded houses, but here's
a play without either of these elements of
sensation, and yesterdays audience were
SO pleased with it that they recaned every
member of The company at the close of
the second act.
1t is just a week more than three
months since the Ulrich company opened
the season at the Grand, but this weeks S
play is the first chance that Charles Gum,
the leading man, has had for real acting.
And Mr.. Gum shows his appreciation by
giving a finished performance in tie char
acter of Ricardo, the lion tanner, in Carl
Haswin's play, "A Lions Heart"
Ricardo is really three characters in
one. The prologue shows him a young
man, the lion tanner, proud of his per-
formance as the king of the circus, proud
of his pretty young wife and child, and
happy because he loves and believes that
he is loved. Twenty years later, in the
first act, he is gray haired, but erect and
vigorous. He has roamed the world over
in search of the man who beguiled his
wife and stole his child. At last he finds
him The meeting is short and strenu-
ous-the villain is left for dead.
Two years later, Ricardo, sentenced to
New Caledonia for the attempted murder
of his enemy, is seen in the third act,
bowed and broken wretch. He has failed
in his vengeance for the man still lives.
and he has failed in his search for his
child. He is little more than human
brute, for his every thought is fixed on
murder-revenge But there is still a
grain of nobility in the man, for when
the opportunity for complete and terrible
revenge is presented he refuses to gain
his ends by the betrayal of another's
honor.
Charles Gum presents this complicated
and difficult character in a consistent and
sympathetic manner. He feels the pas
sion of the lover, the hatred of the de-
serted husband, the devoted love of the
childless father, the relentlessness of re-
venge, the higher call of honor and .le
carries every heart in mis- audience that is
capable of understanding these extremes
of human passion.
There are others beside Gum in the
Charles Caulkins as Colonel de Villefort
are also in the ..melight. Florence Barker
is the unfaithful wife of the prologue, and
Is the daughter of Ricardo in the play
Frank Frayne and Myrtle Selwyn have
some very clean comedy without the
usual rough house

MOTHER WANTS WORK
AnxiousIy Seeks Employment to Care
for Little Children

Anxiously seeking employment in order
to secure funds so she might be IN a posi-
ton to care for her two helpless little
ones, Mrs. +. D. Cloud, wife of the man
who recently deserted his family and for
whom a warrant charging failure to pro-
vide has been issued, passed yesterday,
but met with little success.
The little boy and girl are still at the
home provided for them by the Humane
society, where they will be maintained
until such time as the mother proves her
ability to care for their wants.
Mrs. Cloud has been promised position
and expects to assume it within the next
few weeks. The position is that of house
keeper in a large rooming house to be
opened on Hill street
Owing to a hitch in the plans of the
owner it will be some time before the posi-
tion will be open.
Interest in Children
Additional inquiries in regard to the
children continue to come to The Herald
office and the offices of the Humane So
ciety. Several families have agreed to
provide homes for the children until the
mother is ready to take them, while sew
eral women have expressed themselves as
willing to adopt the little ones.
No action will be taken along these lines
vinced that Mrs. Cloud is unable to care
for her children.
The woman is doing all in her power for
them and according to the Humane Of
ficers, she will probably be given their
custody.
f. d. Cloud, the husband, who is said to
have deserted his family and left them in
dire straits, is said by acquaintances to be
in San Francisco and working. So far,
according to statements of his wife, he
has failed to send them any money, and it
has been through the efforts of Mrs. Cloud
alone that the children were provided for
up to the time the society stepped in.
Speaking of this case a woman, well
acquainted with charitable work in Los
Angeles said last night:
Men Act BrutaIIy
"a person not interested in the work of
the Humane society and like organizations
cannot understand the miserable condi-
tons which are frequently brought about
in Los Angeles through the actions of
men who desert their wives and families
and leave them without even sufficient
food for one meal.
"In many of these cases the women are
most deserving. They have slaved for
their husbands and aided in supporting
the family, but nevertheless a new face
comes up before the husband and he casts
the faithful wife aside and fees with his
new love.
"That, 1 understand, was the condition
in this case 1t is a disgrace that such a
man cannot be brought back by the law
and compelled to either support his family
or serve a term in Jail. The laws should
be amended so steps could be taken to
punish him think after one or two ex-
ampleS had been .nade men would not he
