Oliver Morosco. manager of the Ma

serves a permanent place in the nan
of fame. Mr.. MorOsco during the
past few weeks, has been the busiest
man in Los Angeles. lie not only mas
managed the Burbank theater, and UNI
til the arrived of Stage Director Gard

he also has superintended personally
the thousand and one details of pre-
pairing the new Majestic theater for

Last week Mr.. Morosco was in his
that the mascot cats scarcely knew
him when he did appear. Ordinarily
he went down town at O'Clock In the
morning. Several times he didn't see
home again until 3 o'clock the next
morning. Yet with all this detail work
he found time to make new engage
ments for the Burbank stock COM
pany to add several strong plays to
his already considerable list and to
entertain Walter Jordan, the big New
York play agent, who was in the city
early in tho week.
The opening of the new Majestic
theater will have the deplorable effect
of disrupting a happy family. Mr.. and
Mrs. Zip, the two black cat mascots
of the Burbank, will be deprived of
Cleopatra one of their kittens. With
the last sweep of the paint brushes
Friday, Cleopatra was taken to the
new playhouse. The kitten is a novice
in the mascot business, most of the
house duties in this line having
been attended to by the elder MEM
bers of the Zip family. The two older
cats were so grieved by the departure
of Cleopatra that they refused yester-
day afternoon to pose for a photograph
when one of Mr.. Moroscos friends
wanted to take them.

among the newcomers to install them

close in to the theaters, shelter colonies
of Thespians, who find this way of
living much more advantageous than
living in hotels.

success is 1eoparlized, and Brown steps
in and saves the day. After the sue
cess he runs down the forgery, and in
the last act mutual explanations clear
the atmosphere. The play is we'll writ
ten. and in the hands of Harry Wood
ruff made a great success in New York
and other big cities. 1t will be staged
in the usual Belasco STYLE and the
strength of the Belasco company will
be utilized in it's presentation. Mr.. Van
Buren,, who has become a favorite with
Los Angeles theater goers, will be seen
to advantage. Harry Glazier will have
villainous enough part to suit every
body, and happy Dick Vivian viii be
seen at his very best. Miss Bernard
will get a little rest from her arduous
labors of the past few weeks In d
smaller part.
Next week Los Angeles will be
treated to a spectacular production of
"The Light Eternal" by Martin v.
Merle, a play said by the New York
Sun to be superior to either Ben
Hur" "Quo Vadis" or THE Sign of the
Cross" Mr.. Merle, who is graduate
of the Jesuit college at Santa Clara,
Cal, is in Los Angeles and will stage
the play after the plans drawn by
painted by Ansel Cooke, formerly with
Henry Miller and who painted the
original production. Mr.. Cooke now is
attached to the Belasco staff.
MASON-Louis James, coming as the
Thanksgiving offering at the Mason
opera house, has been laureled with
another triumph. more daring in it's
design, more brilliant in its fulfllment
and more emphatic in its result than
anything this resourceful player has
before achieved. Mr.. James will be
seen In Richard Mansfields massive
spectacular production Of Henrik lb-
sens poetfcal comedy Peer Gynt." 1t
has been the theme of all reviewers
that no other actor but Mansfield would
have invested the poem with such
wealth of scenery and effects, and that
no American actor but Louis James
would have the courage to continue III
this great production.
The great role of Peer Gynt" affords
Mr.. James art wider scope for char
acterization than one can imagine, for
it runs the entire gamut of human
life from the Dragging, lying, dreaming
young scamp of the mountains to the
synical slave trader in Morocco, then
to the tempest-tossed wanderer and
lastly the aged broken down and heart
broken man, who having tried to find
pleasure in recllessness and extraVa-
ganee, wanders home to find that true
happiness was only to be found in the
love of his faithful sweetheart SOL

said to be one of the finest ever SHOWN
on the coast in vaudeville, including, OF
course d directoire gown made by one
of the leading Partisan modistes. Della
Stacey is well known in the east,
where she has starred at the head OF
her own musical comedy company. the
act which she and her partner will pre-
sent here concludes with a novel dane
ing number, Burma" a dance of the
East Indies, said to be rather like the
Salome dance, but without the obJec-
tionable features.
Hill and Sylvano European novelty
unicyclists, who have made good else
where, will exhibit their novel means
of locomotion. Brooks and Vedder VIII
present an amusing sketch entitled
'DThe New Housemaid." Fred and
Bessie Lueier, who are we'll and Ia
vorably known to vaudeville patrons
the country over, will offer one OF
their inimitable musical rural comedies.
Nozarto, the Instrumental Man" who
PLAYS the Instruments of all nations,
will complete the list Of newcomers. A
picture ballad by Sam Holdsworth ana
motion pictures will fill out the Dill. IN
addition to the regular daily matinee
and evening performances, a special
performance OF the entire bill Will be
given Thanksgiving night in order to
care for the holiday crowds. Thus on
Thursday there viii be three shows In

promptly at 7:45 O'Clock.
ORPHEUM-Beglnn this (Thanks-
eiying) week with a matinee tomorrow
afternoon and with a special holiday
matinee Thursday, Thanksgiving Itself
the Orpheum will offer another most
delightful menu of the best in vaude-
Vile, similar in its high class and all
around excellence to those which have
delighted it's patrons and thronged the
houses day after day for weeks.
Heading the list of newcomers is
Hope Booth, a most capable actress
who brings the first showing of George
M. Cohan's latest skit, THE Little
Blonde Lady" In this playlet Mr.
Conan pays his respects to the critics,
who have been none too gentle to the
''Yankeef Doodle Boy" and his answer
is one that will amuse the general fol-
lowing of these censors of the drama,
who are thus held up to public gaze at
close range by Conan, whose ideas are
thoroughly carried out by Miss Booth
and her capable company.
Va1adon, the man of mystery, is next
on the list. This clever magician and
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-22

illusionist has been engaged for five
years at London's greatest hall of the
mysterious, where he has been the star
feature. He formerly was with Kellar
the great, but HIS own act is far above
anything preceding it. It requires half
a dozen men to work it, and a complete
set of scenery is used. Valadon re-
turns abroad Immediately after this
trip.
Black and Jones, whose color is in
close accord with the first named team
mate, depict in humorous fashion the
amusements of the levees down south"
One of them is a close second to Joe
Cans in looks, though he lacks the
duslIy fighters punch. They are a
clever team and much may be expected
of them in the way of fun.
Another fun making pair is Lewis
and Green, who depict the agonies OF
Engaging a Cook" in their skit OF that
name. Wit, clean comedy and songs
enter into it, and everyone says good
things of their work.

FROM "a WOMAN OF
NO IMPORTANCE"

The following are some Of the cpl
) grams from Oscar Wilde's play, "A
} Woman of No Importance" in which Z
) Miss Florence Stone viii appear at the
) Burbank this week:
) To be In society is merely bore,
) but to be out of it simply tragedy.
Men marry because they are tired;
) women because they are curious. Both
) are disappointed.
) Moderation is a fatal thing; nothing
) succeeds like excess.
One should never trust woman who
) tells one her real age. A woman who
) would tell that would tell anything.
when good Americans die they 20 to
) Paris, when bad Americans die they so
) to America.
When a man Is old enough to do
s wrong he should be old enough to do
) right also.
One can survive everything except
) death, and live down rythtng ex-
cent a good reputation.
Men always want 10 be a wOman's

last romance.

Following the performance of "A
Stranger in a Strange Land" Lewis ).
Stone and company will give the hrst
performance by a stock company any
where of Henry Miller's famous sue
will have the role of Stephen Client,
which was created by Henry Miller,
ana Miss Florence Oakley will have
the part of Ruth Jordan, originally
played by Margaret Anglin. This prom
ises to be one of the most notable
events of the current season, and gives
another evidence of the desire or the
management of the Stone company to
give the biggest and newest plays be-
fore they reach any other stock COM
pany in the country.
BELASCO = The Belasco Theater
stock company offers this week a nov
city in college plays, Brown or Har-
ward" a novelty because 1t is not at all
of the stereotyped plays that sail under
college colors. 1t is a play with well
defined and picturesque love story IN
terwoven with intensely dramatic sit
nations much out of the ordinary. IL
is of more than ordinary interest," also
because it will serve to introduce to the
los Angeles theater going public the
new leading woman of the company,
Miss Virginia Kline. Miss Kline has
come here with the highest recommen-
dations of New York managers VINO
have seen and appreciated her work.
She Is a brunette Of striking type,
emotional tendencies and evidently with
a large supply of temperament, if one
is to Judge by her first rehearsals. In
'sBroWn Of Harvard" she has but
small role to introduce her, but 1t Is one
Of a sweet young girl and will serve to
make the comparison the greater when
next week she plays in "The Light
Eternal"
Brown of Harvard" tells the story
of a wealthy young bachelor at college
who has a protege in the person OF
poor young man, the stroke oar of the
crew that is to row against an English
crew The sister of this young man is
loved unwisely by chum of Browns
who in an emergency gives to her in

ADDING EQUlPMENT.-The Phoe-
nix Reinforced Concrete company of
which Jack Greville is the manager
yesterday received a portable 10 horse
power Odds gasoline engine which will
be used in construction work. The
company also now has set up a heavy
Blake crusher with a 10 horse power
motor Work has been commenced on
the erection of sheds, office building
and fitting up the cement yards on the
lots north of the Marshall cold storage
plant site.
THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS
Fred Keddington the best book binder
in the world returned to Phoenix yes
terday after an absence of four years.
In that time he has been over n con-
siderable part of the country. He was
in Kansas City longer than anywhere
else. For a long time Mr.. Keddington
was in charge of the bookbindery of
the H H M'Neil Co, and he will now
resume that position.
CROWD TO DALlAS.-S. c. Card
liner, assistant district superintendent
of the Pullman company with head
quarters at FL Paso. who was in the
city yesterday stated that so standard
sleeping cars will be used by the Los
Angeles Elks who will compose a
party to go to the grand lodge meeting
at Dallas in July. A train load will
go from Globe, and Arizona will be
pretty well represented. SO far about
| a dozen Phoenix longhorns have sig
nified their intentions to be in Dallas
upon that notable occasion. Los An

Angels as the place for the next grand
lodge meeting.

will ultimately be made as ornamental
as green grass and well kept shrubbery
can make them. A six inch we'll was
drilled some time ago and an abund-
ant water supply secured as the water
now stands twenty-five feet deep in
the casing. The new plant includes a
good engine, a good water tank and a
system of pipes that will carry the
water all over the grounds for irrigat-
ing purposes. A great deal of grass
has been planted during past months
as well as many trees and it has been
rather an expensive job to haul water
for them. A pumping plant was con-
templated from the first but this water
hauling expense was SO great the trus-
tees were moved to hurry it up. Grass
will now be planted all over the
grounds and the best of attention will
be given all the shrubbery. Two men
have been regularly employed in car
ing for the grounds for some time and
on occasions others have been hired
but with good pumping plant the la
Dor bill can be cut down somewhat,
though there will always be at least
one man in constant attendance. The
cost of the pumping plant will be be-
tween $1,000 and $500.
DR.. FORD HERE.-Dr ]. VI. Ford
arrived yesterday morning on the Mar
icopa limited from his home in Alham-
bra, Cal. He came here primarily to
attend a meeting of the Rio Tonic
Copper company and incidentally to
look after other business and have a
chat with his friends. He may be
here only two or three days and he
may stay longer. He and his son, Err
nest E. Ford, have each built a nice
residence in Alhambra, a mile south
of the Raymond hotel in Pasadena and
both families are comfortably situated.
The doctors wife is in the best of
health but Mrs. E. f. Ford has been
suffering of rheumatism for some time
though she is much better than she
has been. Recently they have been
spending a little time at Catalina

that is fishing with four ounce pole
and catching thirty ounce fish. The
doctor says he prefers to fish without
any strings on him and make his own
rules. Asked if either of them had be-
come interested in any new line of in
vestment the doctor replied that they
had not, though it was not because
they had not had an opportunity. He
said they could easily find things
enough to get into. The chief trouble
was to be foxy enough to keep out.
The doctor said he wasn't hunting any
thing very hard and Ernest had all he
could do to take care of him.

ARLINGTON ALFALFA-W.

ARLINGTON AlFALFA.-W. H.
Strickland of Arlington has placed on
exhibition in the window of Dwight b.
Heard's office, a sample of alfalfa in
the seed developing stage. This is the
first sample of this kind brought to
town this year and it is practically
matured so far as growth is concern
ed, but not quite ripe enOught to cut.
Arlington is an extension of the Buck
eye section and practically the same
conditions prevail there that have
made Buckeye famous for alfalfa. For
some reason this crop seems to mature
earlier there than almost anywhere
else in the valley and this fact en-
ables the diligent farmers to mature
two crops of seed in one season which
cannot usually be done in most places.
even though several crops of hay can
be cut. But this sample shows a
heavy yield practically matured and
the almanac will prove that there is
yet time enough to mature another
crop before fall weather arrives. Two
crops of hay and two crops of seed on
one alfalfa field means money for Mr..
Farmer.
