ANXIOUS BOYS CRUSHED
WHILE RUSHING LINE
Lads Try to Crowd Into the Indoor
Circus and Are Today Nurs-
ing Bruises In Conse-
quence

Three small boys are nursing bruises
today as a result of trying to rush the
line at the Dick Ferris indoor circus at
yesterdays matinee.
The youngsters arrived at the doors
before noon and had first position in
line, but the crowd was so great they
were caught in the swirl and were
tumbled own.
None of the hurts were serious, how
ever, and the youngsters enjoyed the
show when they did get in. The jam
made it necessary to open the doors at
12;45 instead of 80 o'clock, the regular
hour.
The first of the new acts secured in
q trip north by the Ferris agents went
on yesterday. The Aherns, a comedy
woung woman and Hercules of man,
do a remarkable balancing act. He
picks the woman up by the ankles, as
one would a small child, spins her
around on his hand and on his head,
and finally, putting her in a chair on
of his own head, losses her far in he
air. In combination they also do clever
hand to hand work, twisting and lift
ing till it would seem as If they had
tied their cleaning muscles into hard
knots that could never be Strengthened
out.
Holy City, at the Auditorium nave
also been added to the aggregation
These beast show no perturbation in
changing from a religious to a tented
show, but quietly hump themselves and
go through their stunts as ever.
Several new acts are in preparation
for the coming week, and the whole
slow moved yesterday with added
snap and ginger. The band has a new
and more circusy repertoire; the strong
woman has a strong call on fat men in
her lifting act and the riders, becom-
ing familiar with the ring, are more at
their ease. Miss &c Nellie Lowande,
whose horse, Ben Hur, fell on her Sat
urday, has recovered and is in her
finest form now.
The crowds have taxed the capacity
at every opening so far.

BLAckWooD SECURES OPTIONS
ON QUARTET OF NEW PLAYS

Options held by Charles Dillingham;
and other eastern managers on Com
mencement Days" little Dorritt, .
1.-THE Energetic Mr.. West" and 'Ths
Education of Elizabeth" expired yes
terday, none of them having been ex-
ercised. John Blackwood, quick to APP
preciate his opportunity, at once pro
ceeded to tie up all four plays for six
months. BY paying lump sum down
he secured six months aption on all
CT them and they can be secured for
production now only through him.
Commencement Days" had big
week at the Belasco and Mr.. Black-
wood has every confidence in the play.
Little Dorrit'' is to have its tryodt
this week, the first production in Amer
lea being scheduled for tonight at the
Belasco. Then viii follow the other
two plays, in the order named.
Saturday afternoon at the Los Angs-
les theaters didn't look much like hard
times. At the Auditorium, where Tho
Holy city, was nearing the end OF its
two weeks run. the big house was en-
tirely sold out, every seat even on the

HooDooED PEOPLES THEATER
AGAIN CLOSES ITS DOORS

The Peoples Theater on South Main
street, which has been operated for
some time past by the Sullivan & Con-
sidine people, has closed its doors.
Business at this house has been disap-
pointing, a.. while at the theater it
IS said that the house has been closed
to permit of remodeling ordered by the
city building inspector, it is scarcely
likely that it will soon be re-opened as
vaudeville theater.
Sullivan & Considine hold a five
years lease on the property which
probably could be bought cheap il any
enc wanted it. Herr Fischer is said to
be looking for a new location, but it is
scarcely likely that the Peoples, hoo
dooed as it always has been, will tempt
him.

OLD LICENSE LAW TO
BE TESTED IN COURT
LONG UNENFoRcED ORDINANCES
WILL BE DECIDED
Interesting Points Involved in Suit of
Los Angeles VS.. Ice and Cold
Storage Co. and VS.. Col.
Lankershim ct Al.

Interesting points concerning the
licensing power of the city of Los An
geles will be brought out when the case
of the city of Los Angeles VS.. the Los
Angeles Ice and Cold Storage company
comes up today before Judge Wellborn
of the Federal court.
The suit is the result of the city's at
tempt to collect from the cold storage
company $1,000, representing licenses
which have been unpaid for three years.
The city seeks to collect under the
ordinance providing that any firm or
corporation vending or distributing wa
ter for domestic purposes, the sales Of
which shall exceed $1,000 month, shall
pay a license of $3.50 a month.
The statute of limitations prevents
the city from going beyond the three
year period, though it is claimed that
the cold storage company has not paid
licenses for a longer period than three
years.
Sidney j. Parsons represents the COM
pany. claiming that the ordinance IS
discriminatory and double taxation,
end thus contrary to federal and stale
constitutions.
Deputy City Attorney Thomas l..
Woolwine represents the city.
Similar to this case is that of Col.
Lankershim and the Union Trust COM
pany for collection of licenses under
the office building ordinance.
This provides that a license of 81 a
room per year shall be paid where there
are over thirty rooms in the office build
ing, Col. Lankershim is supported by
the Office building owners. who have
formed an association.
These ordinances have practically
been dead. Some years ago an attempt
was made to collect under them.

a Mason at the Burbank; while the
Grand, too, proved to small to accom-
modate the matinee crowd that sought
admittance. Then, also, around the cor
ner from the Auditorium, the Dick Fer
lis Indoor circus turned several hum
dred people away and the police were
called upon to clear the sidewalk. The
Crpheum likewise appeared in the Sold

sual thing at this vaudeville house.
The Mason was dark. All the other

Eugene i. Lewis, a well known Salt
Lake newspaper man, who is now liv-

three vaudeville sketches on the boards,
and are collaborating on a three-act
drama for Margaret Anglin, have just
completed thirty-minute college come
dy entitled, 1.-THE Gridiron Play" for
Joseph Galbraith. This popular matt
nee idol staked his confidence in tho
ability of the two local playwrights and
advanced a tidy little sum when the
sketch was ordered, although he had
only read a brief scenario.
The sketch will be presented some
time in the near future, probably as
a curtain raiser at the Belasco.
Hentz and Zallee, proprietors of the
Unique theater, have secured six
months extension on their lease add

house is too small for their use but will
not be enlarged at least until this ex-

end the play in some one of the earlier
acts is amazing. They are so gentle-
manly in their treatment of vice per-
sonified that the villain and his mother
have every opportunity to make things
lively for defenseless womanhood and
defenseless childhood.
The story is sufficiently involved to
delight Grand audiences, and the viii
lains are quite up to the mark. In fact,
the show and company make good, with
the exception Of that blonde hero. He's

fact, if She had CHANGED to board a
