: BROWNS IN TOWN !" 4
HIT At THE ORPHEUM

There is no installing the fact tina
Cohen and Lumley have brought t.
Honolulu company of capable ac
tors who are bound TO be well re
ceived by our local theater patrons.
The play presented last might
Browns in Town is a farce comedy
with not a serious line in it. It i:
one of those plays in which the numer-
Gus complications that develop where
no one knows who the other fellow
| is, contain all of the comedy features
and is one of the hardest of pieces
to present in a creditable manner.
The play is a laugh producer as the
complications are as ludicrous as one
could possibly imagine. That the au-
dience enjoyed it was evidenced by the
hearty and frequent bursts of applause
that continued throughout the three
acts of the play.
The leading character was taken by
Frank Z. Montgomery, who appeared
as Dick Preston the married SON.
Mr.. Montgomery is a good actor; he
has a most pleasing manner about him,
is free and easy in every turn, with
a good voice and way about him
that wins his audience.
Playing opposite him is Miss Mae
Keane, charming, graceful and most
bewitching combination of femininity,
with much ability as an actress. Her
role last night did not give her oppor-
tunity to demonstrate her talents to
any great extent although she won her
way to the hearts of her hearers from
the very start. We should much pre-
far-fn in aVontinna1 roles
A versatile artist is Miss Maybelle
Alberta who had most difficult role
in "Freda,'' the German heiress. Miss
Alberta is pretty and her acting was
enjoyed.
Miss Hope Mosher, the ingenue with
dimpled cheeks, was a successful "Su-
zanne Dacre," while Miss Jocelyn did
the character part of Primrose" the
colored servant in a manner that
pleased all.
The. rest of the cast was composed
of Leo Lindhard, as Arthur Carew,
Chester Stevens as Worth Carew and
NJ. J. Hooley as Pat the gardener, all
Of whom were good.
The entire performance was clean
and went with a snap that showed
ell-trained and evenly balanced COM
pany of clever artists.
Several specialties were introduced
between the acts by Messrs. Taylor
and Hooley and Miss Alberta and Miss
Brandon.
Browns in Town will be repeat
ed tonight and tomorrow night as well
as at the matinee tomorrow. The play
should pack the house at each per-
Torrance.

GREAT PROSPECTS FOR 1908

Teams of Conference Colleges More

On the eve of the 1908 football
game, indications are that the line

Never before have the conference

Where heretofore it has been a fore.

go to one or two teams, the situation
this fall, according to experts, Is decid
edly different in that all conference
teams seem to be about equal IN

On the western gridiron, the cham
pionship is open for argument. Chi

been deprived of many of her best
players, and unless. some high class
timber is developed, Coach Stagg will

Indiana is said to have the bright
est prospects she has been confronted
with in years. The Hoosiers them
selves admit this, and rival elevens

The same situation holds in Illinois,
despite the wall of the Illinois coach
es that they have lost all the star

veterans have been retained, and,
with the new material at hand, it is

Wisconsin, according to close stu
dents of the game, is the dark
horse" in the west. The Badger
elevens got into the fray late in the
1907 season after bad start and
made things decidedly interesting.
Most of last years players will be
found In line this year, and, with an
early start, the team Ia bound to be
heard from in a substantial way.

Johnny Evers, says that Street has all
the motions and the same kind of a

When the st. Louis champions were
sweeping everything before them, says
Mr.. Evers, and running crazy on the
bases, beating the backstops to it at
every point. they blew into New York
with the idea of making Buck Ewing
look as foolish as they had the other
catchers on the circuit The first man
mp for the st. Louis club was Arlie
Latham, the third baseman and
champion base purloiner Of his day.
Juice" tore on single, and away he
raced for first, and never stopped
when the right fielder threw the ball
over the first baseman's head in re-
turning 1t. and Ewing had to race
back of the stands to recover it. Lath-
am, much to the amazement of the
Giants, tore for third, yelling loudly
that no Giant could put him out. Then
Buck, with that terrific whip of his,
shot the ball across the diamond, and
he had Latham by five feet. During
the rest of that game Buck Ewing
threw out IL men who tried to
steal on him, and when the Mound
City lads finally woke up to the fact
that they were up against a real back
stop they were the saddest lot of ball
players that New York had seen In
many, a day. Yet Mr.. Evers thinks
Ewing, in his. best days, never had
anything on Charley Street in the
throwing line.
