Probably no higher tribute has been
paid to the Republican candidate for
president than that of Grover Cleve-
land in an article written short time
before his death. In part he said:

Like Mark Twain, Maude Beatty of
the Unique theater stock company re-
Gently was permitted the rather curious
privilege of reading her own obituary.
After she had read it Miss Beatty,
mindful of the Twain report, took her
pen in hand to assure her grieving
friends that reports of her death had
been slightly exaggerated.
The obituary was published in Lon
don paper and was sent to Los Angeles
by Miss Beatty's sister, who is now
playing in that city. 1t announced a
massacre in Annoy, China, printing the
name of Maude Beatty as one of the
victims and following up the story with
brief biographical sketch in which
was enumerated a list of roles Miss
Beatty had played at Drury Lane ana
other London playhouses.
The error arose through the murder
at Annoy of Rev. DR.. Beatty and his
family by Chinese brigands. DR.. Beatty
was an English missionary. His daugh-

of course, a question.
The scenery for three of the four
acts already has been built and paint

constructed by Bradley and painted by
HURT. Negotiations are in progress
with one of the local stock houses for
the presentation of the play, either
late in August or early in September.
On tour Mr.. Stoermer will himself
play the title role, the character being
that of a young man who Is fighting
for purity in politics and whose views
are somewhat Socialistic.

made the victim of practical joke last
week, the joker being Manager Charles
w. York of the Los Angeles theater.
The Herald Square company. you
may remember, presented "How Baxter
Butted In at the Los Angeles last
week. Naturally Behrendt was anxious
that the play and company should
make good and he made York's life
miserable by asking repeatedly If the
manager thought the show would catch
on, how much money they ought to
make, etc.
Finally to get rid of him, York ex-
planned that he drew a salary for pass
ing on the merits of shows after he
had seen them; not before.
"I'll look your troupe over" he said
'and if l don't like 'em I'll kick you all
out and lock up the theater. Perhaps
you're all right for the alfalfa belt, but
until see. If my audiences don't like
you out you go. Just remember that.
Behrendt was worried. He said MOTH
ing to York, but he hunted up MS
partners and suggested that steps be
taken to square" the manager. They
saw the joke and at once told him II
couldn't be done. More, they expressed
fears lest the show might not be up to
the Los Angeles standard and mourn

would get "on' the road" If Los An

Then Behrendt took to hauntine

Behrendt grinned. When the manager
frowned, Behrendt trembled.
The opening night arrived, but YORK
seeing a chance to prolong the agony
explained that as Behrendt vas per-
sonal friend he wouldn't pass judgment
upon the first performance, but would
wait a night. On the second nlgh'

ter Maude, who was killed with her
father, had been upon the stage. That,
apparently. was enough for the London
papers; particularly in view of the fact
that the Miss Maude Beatty now in Los
Angeles and with whom the victim was
confused, has played in the Orient.
Manager Oliver Morosco of the Bur-
bank theater is authority for the state
ment that beginning September l Will
liam Desmond will become the highest
salaried leading man in stock in Amer
lea. Mr.. Desmond's three-year contract
with the Burbank was drawn on Slid
ing scale and in such way that the
maximum salary will be reached on the
date named. Just what that salary Is
Mr.. Morosco does not say, but he is
emphatic in his statement that 1t is
bigger than the other fellows. AS for
Desmond, he says the same thing. Like
a certain monologuist, at the Orpheum
a few weeks ago, however, he doesn't
prove it because he doesn't have to.
He just admits it.

Mary Shaw's company, and who is d.

his local engagement, during which he
will present these two comedies, with
the addition of Twelfth Night" in a
number of California cities. Redlands,
Riverside, San Bernardino and Santa
Barbara already are booked.
Mr.. Aylmer will follow elsewhere the
plan adopted here. He will present the
comedies in the open air, with cast
recruited in part from professional
ranks and in part from among society
amateurs. The plays in each city will
be given under the auspices of some
charitable or civic organization.
On the road Mr.. Aylmer will play
Bottom in "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" and Touchstone In "As You
Like It." His wife, who has been in
Annie Russell's company and who
formerly was with Ben Greet, will play
the leading feminine roles. Other play

fair to result in a substantial increase
of the Hall bank account.
Miss Hall is a blonde. Her great
grandfather, however, was man OF
Importance in the Cherokee nation.
Consequently his descendants were en-
titled to share in the allotment of land
made when Indian territory was thrown
open to settlement. There were three
direct descendants. Blanche Hall, JeS-

land was divided evenly between them

her an offer for her holdings, but the

The Belasco theater will offer a dou-

first appearance upon one program OF
both Joseph Galbraith and Lewis s.
Stone. Mr.. Stone will have an i'm
portant role in 1.-The First Born, "
while Mr.. Galbraith will play his old
part in THE Private Secretary"
There has been some little rivalry
between these players. So. much, in
fact, that when contracts were signed
a proviso was inserted that the two
should never be required to appear
together in the same play.

by stood Mrs. Levy. Miss Albertson,
accompanied by her mother appeared
and stepped into the waiting machine,
when Mrs. Levy ran forward from her
place of concealment and attacked her
divorced husband using, Levy says,
an ice pick, and striking him several
times upon the head and face. Then
the chauffeur started the car and Levy
escaped. Subsequently he swore out
warrant for his former wife, who was
arrested and held for trial in the gen.
eral sessions court after a preliminary
examination. at which Levy, the chauf-
feur and Miss Albertson all testified
against her.
Mrs. Levy, who evidently holds Miss
Albertson responsible for her domestic
difficulties and who is now at liberty
under $500 bonds, explains that she
went to the theater on the anniver-
sary night of her marriage to Levy,
having been told of his attentions to
the actress, and that when she saw
Miss Albertson with her former hus-
band she was unable to control herself.
She denies using an ice pick, however.
Levy, for his part, says that when
his wife divorced him he felt that he
might do as he pleased, even though
the decree had not been made absolute.
He declared in court that he expects to
marry Miss Albertson just as soon as
the law will let him. In answer to a
question he said, too, that he is now
paying his first wife 5000 a month
alimony.
John Cort is back in Seattle from
New York. where he went several weeks
ago to complete bookings for the chain
of theaters under his direction. He has
written to Oliver Morosco that the new
Majestic theater has been booked solid
for a period of thirty-five weeks, be-
ginning in September.
Work on the new Colonial theater
which Mr.. Cort is building in Salt Lake,
and upon the theater he is erecting in
Chicago is proceeding rapidly and both
houses will be opened some time before
Christmas. The Chicago inuse, as al

When Mrs. Fiske comes to the Be

pany will present David Belasco's Cal
ifornia melodrama in San Diego and
Riverside. Then the company will re-
turn home and will again play 1.-The
Girl" during the latter half of the
week here. That may finish it, and 1t
may not. There's no telling. Perhaps
the play will settle down for another
run.
Mrs. Fiske. by the way, has been
having considerable trouble in finding
theaters in which to appear on her
present tour in "Rosmersholm." Re-
Gently her engagements in San Diego
and in Bakersfield were Cancelled, it is
said, at the dictaton of the theatrical
syndicate, and, though she probably
will play in both of those cities, she
will not be permitted to appear in the
houses which originally gave her book

William Stoermer. recently of the
Belasco company, and at present
member of the Percival Aylmer Shake
spearean players, has written a politi-
cal play, which he expects to take on
tour next fall and which probably will
have it's first presentation on any
stage in this city. He has called his
work "The Spellbinder." 1t Is a pur-
poseful play, in four acts and five
scenes, all of which are laid in South
ern California, and in it Mr.. Stoermer
has embodied much of the experience
of practical politics he gained four
years ago. when he was a candidate
for the legislature on the Democratic
ticket in the Seventieth assembly dis
trict.
The first and third act scenes of
"The Spellbinder" are laid in San
Diego, the two scenes of the second act
at the mission of San Juan Capistrano
and the fourth act scene, two years
later, in the mountains, the set show
ing a mountain waterfall. There are
fourteen characters in the play in ad-
dition to numerous extra people. The
third act shows an election in progress,
terminating with a lynching.
The second act, as Mr.. Stoermer out
lined it to me briefly, promises SEN
sation. TIE action occurs at night in
front of the mission at San Juan. The
stage is dark-so dark that at first the
movements of the actors can be OBJ
served only with difficulty from the
auditorium. Ultimately a bonfire is
built in the center of the stage, the
light from the fire serving as the only
Iilluminant.
There is a dark scene in Eugene
Walters play Of THE Wolf" now run
ing in New York city, and there is
brief dark scene in THE Climbers"

Sis HOPKINS SAYINGS
BY ROSE MELVILLE


No one ever wrote a good play
on words.
Many a war cloud is just missed,
by thunder.
Pa says that many a well rounded
phrase is not on the level.
There would be fewer loose words
if people didn't get tight.
Labor may not be ennobling; any
how most men prefer auto-mobling.
Ma says girls living in glass houses
should pull down the shades.
Silence may be golden. but it is
more often an indication of gilt.
Some men are "pinched for
out of 'em.
A mans table manners are like
bread-all depends upon the raisin'
he has had.
In the matter of courtship man
doesn't have to be tailor to press
his suit.
Some women do not care what
they weigh-just so it happens to be
"The Great White Way"
Nor should a man with mutton
chops cast sleeps eyes at some
other fellows little lamb"
With so little execution in 'em, 1t
is some wonder that more financial
heads don't come off.
Pa says wealth may not bring
happiness, but it gathers a lot OF
smiling faces about you.
Ma says great city Is place
where few people are acquainted
with each other-where there is
plenty of milk, but no cows.

company, and except Miss Shannon,
whose engagement is limited, the or
ganization is now without a leading
woman.
1t may be, OF course, that Miss
Hunts recovery will prove more rapid
than has been expected. If not, the
first of August should find both a new
leading man and a new leading wo-
man upon the Belasco stage. Mean
while Miss Florence Smythe will play
the leading feminine roles, while Mr..
Stone and Mr.. Galbraith VIII alternate
in the position of leading man.
THE Girl of the Golden West" is to
be revived at the Belasco theater the
latter part of this month. Even the
recent eight weeks run, which broke
all local records in point of time, SEEM
ingly failed to exhaust the plays pop
ularity, and consequently Los Angeles
theatergoers will have another oppor-
tunity to make the acquaintance of
1.-THE Girl" and her friends.
