He talked beneath the moon

Max Figman, who will bring "The
Man on the Box" to the Los Angeles
theater next week, has not been seen IN
Los Angeles, since he achieved stellar
honors He has, however made big
success with this comedy elsewhere

It is not generally known I believe.
that two members of the pony ballet
at the Auditorium are Los Angeles
girls. One of them. Grace Corbin, was
originally engaged by Mr. 9emple as a
pony. The other, Gale Henry, secured
her opportunity through misfortune
that befell one of the ponies brought
here from the east. This girl sprained
her ankle. and the Los Angeles young
woman was put in her place tempo
rarily. She made good, however, and
now the position has been given to
her for the season.
The other ponies are Fay Morton,
Jennie Ripple and Vera Ransdall, from
the New York hippodrome; and
Oueenie Blake, who last season was
with Ned Wayburne.
