The Theaters

MARY SHAW. chief priestess of
H Ibsenism, arch exponent of the
A'A- Shaw cult, will come to the Los
Angeles theater week after next in a
repertoire of plays which will include
the much discussed Mrs. WarrenS
Profession and probably CANDIDA"
and Ghosts" The first named OF these
plays never has been seen in Los An
geles. The others are more or less
amiliar-"Candida" from it's presenta-
tioll last season at the Belasco theater
end Ghosts" from frequent presenta-
ton by Harry Mestayer, who has
played Oswald at no fewer than three
local theaters-the Burbank, Belasco
ard Mason.
Miss Shaw is an actress who is bet
ter known in the east than in the west.
This. week, however, she is in San
Francisco, where she has created a
veritable furore. Her coming engage
ment here will be her first in Los An
geles outside of vaudeville; though.
with the exception of the vaudeville
interlude which brought her to the
coast last year, she has been promi-
nently identified with 1bsen and Shaw
roles for several seasons past.
Mrs. Warren's Profession" will be
made the feature of the local engage
ment. For a number of seasons this
play was kept off the London stage
by the censor. New YORK saw IL pelore
Lordon did; but in New York also
trouble followed. The police stopped
the performance on the ground that
the play was immoral, arrested arnold
Daily and closed the theater at which
he was presenting it.
Subsequently, however, the courts
held against the police contention and
New York audiences saw this most
Shawian of Shaw's plays. Naturally
it evoked a storm of comment, pro and
con. There were preachers who Ie-
clared it immoral and preachers who
held that it's lesson was good.
Mrs. Shaw played Mrs. Warren in
thac production. Now she is repeating
her portrayal of the character on tour.
She also was the original Mrs. Alving
in Ghosts in this country.
Her forthcoming engagement at he
Los Angeles theater promises to be ..le
most important Offering that house has

were in another direction-she wished
to be violinist. At the age of Z she
had played in concerts, and for two
years she studied the violin with
Richard Arnold, who predicted great
career for her. When she was Is she
entered the national conservatory. and
at the advice of Madame Fursch- -Madi
she gave up the violin and took to sing
ing. Under the tuition of that artist,
and later under NJ. Bouhy, she made
rapid progress.
A few years ago NJ. Bouhy advised
Madame Blauvelt to go to Europe. She
continued her studies in Paris with
him, and sang in opera in France and
Belgium. Her reception was such as
to win for her the interest of such men
as Faure, Gounod and Thomas. the
latter teaching her the part of Mignon.
The exquisite effect with which Madame
Blauvelt sings Delibes bolero, Les
Files de Calix, is due to the instruc-
ton of the composer, who selected the
young singer for the chief part in his
opera "Kassia," the production of which
was postponed by his death.
Madame Blauvelt finished a success
full season in Belgium with a trip to
Russia, during which she sang for sew
eral months in Moscow, where she met
Rubinstein and studied many songs
with him. She has been signally hon.

vIsED BY COMMITTEE

DISCUSSED
Wire Objections to LlttIefieId Bill to
Representatives in Congress,
Since Local Dealers Are
Disseminated Against

At the regular meeting of the board
of directors of the Los Angeles cham~
ber of commerce yesterday afternoon
the committee on mining, to whom was
referred the proposition of establishing
an assay office IN this city, reported,
through it's chairman, II. y. Osborne,
who made quite legnthy report, set
ting forth the reasons why an assay
office should be established here, call
ing attention to the fact that the state
produces about $1S,000,000 of gold per
year, and one-third of this amount
comes from the portion of the state
of which Los Angeles is the center of
the capital, while Arizona produces
s4,5000O0 in gold and silver annually,
nearly all of which is tributary to Los,
Angeles. Nevada's production last
year was nearly $2,000,000 in gold and
silver. and with the completion of the
new railroads directly from Los An
geles into the heart of the richest gold
districts of Nevada this city will be
more accessible to those regions in
time. From one-third to one-half of
the gold of Nevada would be likely to
come to Los Angeles If the convenience
of federal assay office existed mere.
Many Mining Officers Located Here
Many large producing companies in
Southern California, Arizona ana
Mexico having mining offices here, and
it would be a great convenience 10
them to have their bullion sent mere,
melted and stamped and deposited in
local banks, upon which they could
draw for supplies.
Report was made on the Littlefieid
bill and its passage objected to in the
present form.
The. following telegram was sent to
representatives in congress-
"James McLachlan and Frank +.
Flint: Opinion chamber of commerce
Littlefield bill discriminates against
California wine producer and favors
foreign countries. We object passage
of bill in so far as it affects California
industry"
One OF the most important things
discussed was the tentative excursion
to Honolulu in April or May. The mat
ter was reported favorably by commit
tee and will be discussed by the board
of directors of the chamber of COM
merce at it's next meeting.
Ten excursions are in hand now py
the chamber of commerce, and the Of
flee thinks it is an excursion bureau or
else a battleship fleet from the amount
of work in those lines.

Aside from formally defining Issues

of the Republican campaign in Ohio
here, according to Republican critics.
developed an important fact. namely
that Governor Charles e. Hughes. OF
New York, would be in great de-
mand by his own state during the
national campaign. The governor
following a mastery effort by Senator
Beveridge, not only held the atten'
ton of a crowd Of thousands who
had been listening to other speeches
for hours, but moved them to vigor'
Gus outbursts Of applause. and was
fairly mobbed when he finished, by
hundreds who pressed forward TO
shake his hand.
Revision of the tariff and con-
tinuance of the policies Of President
Roosevelt in Ohio county wide local
option were the key notes sounded.
Senator Beyeridge of Indiana. and
Governor Hughes delivered impress

devoted himself to questions Of i'm

chief executive. Governor Harris de-
waited from the original text Of his
address to comment on the announce
ment Of Judge Harmon. the Demo

owed no favors to the liquor inter
'ests. The governor in ringing tones
elected applause by declaring that

teen Mics, Making Average OF
Thirty-seven Miles an Hour.
(By Associated Press).

LEMANS, FRANCE, Sept. 5.-Wil-
bur Wright, the aeroplanist, OF Day
ton, Ohio, made a magnificient and
highly satisfactory fight this morning.
His machine was in the air for 10
minutes, 48 rs second. thus approach
ing within a fraction Of minute
Henry Farman's record for the longest
public official fight.
The distance covered by Mr.. Wright
was not accurately measured, but
it is estimated at between IA and 10
miles. The feat was accomplished
on the field of ANvours and was &C
companied by a remarkable series OF
evolutions. demonstrating the precis-
ion of Mr.. Wright's control Of the ma
chine.
M. BouIlee, who timed the flight.
estimated that the average height OF
the aeroplane from the ground was
IS feet and that its speed exceeded 81
miles an hour.
After re-adjusting his motor, Mr.
Wright prepared for another flight. In
the meantime, however, strong
wind had arisen, blowing at times as
high as "a miles an hour. Nevelthe-
less, Mr.. Wright launched his ma
chine and the aeropIane was slipping
along nicely when suddenly, when he
had reached a point opposite a group
of trees, a heavy gust Of wind threat
ened to drive him into the branches.
To avoid this. Mr.. Wright turned his
machine sharply, but he lifted the
right wing too much and the left wing
came in contact with the ground. This
brought about a repetition of the &C
cidsnt of August IL, when the delicate
framework was deranged and torn,
from a similar cause.
Mr.. Wright was not hurt. He an
ncunced that he would be able to re-
sumo his fights next week.
