Guy z. Miller, the Socialist orator,
had good crowd assembled in the
Square to hear him last Monday even
ing. He spoke for about an hour and a
half, easily, but without special flights
of oratory. The burden of his discourse
was that the working man produces the
country's wealth and the capitalist gets
it-that the working man earns his
weeks pay in one days labor and gives
the other five days to his employer.
Socialism is to remedy this condition,
and give every man what he earns and
no more. As to how Socialism Is to
meet the practical problems involved in
the readjustment to the proposed ideal
condition, Mr.. Miller gave US no more
light than has been afforded by previous
Socialist speakers.

Theater Stage Transformed
Into Fairyland by Miss
ShreVe's Pupils.

It seemed as If every fascinating little
fairy from Fairyland met on tEe stage
OF the National Thester last night. when
the annual dancing carnival OF Miss
Cora B. Shreve was given. Lisping
youngsters sang dainty little songs and
danced themselves into the hearts of
everybody in the theater. including that
OF Wu Tingfan. the Chinese minis
ter. who occupied a box with members
OF his suite
An opera entitled "LeOuOra' - arranged
by Miss Shreve. formed the program,
and was interpreted by more than one
hundred boys and girls. Nearly all the
performers were very young children
and danced and sang their roles with
surprising ease and grace.
No star in the big theatrical field ever
had a more enthusiastic audience than
that which attended last nights per
Torrance, and before each Of the young
sters came on the stage he or she
knew that outside there was a big
welcome waiting from the most loyal
admirers In all the world.
Schoolboy sweethearts were there in
force TO cheer for the girls IN the play,
and although the performance lasted
nearly four hours the enthusiasm con-
-inUed until the very last little dancer

Miss Ruby Raymond gave several
solo dances and distinguished herself as
an actress in the role OF Gitana, the
gypsy queen. Miss Raymond is four
teen years old, but has the grace and
ease on the stage that is rarely seen in
a child of her years
Miss Alma Nelson scored an emphatic
hit in speciality that gave her an op-
portunity TO display her talents both
as dancer and a contortionist She
was roundly applauded. Miss Henrietta
Berens. who played the title role IN the
operatta. won the hearts Of the au-
dience in several dance numbers and in
the singing Of Experience" with Irv-
