Mason called to him and Graham
was given a seat at the Mason table
Then he explained that he had Just
arrived, never had heard of the Hol-
lenbeck in his life and had merely
chanced to drop In there for his even
ing meal. All of which constitutes a
series of rather remarkable coincl-
dences.
One of the most interesting of the
early season bookings at the Mason is
the Mansfield production of Peer
Gynt," which Louis James will present
at that house within few weeks.
peer Gynt' is one of the most fan
tastic characters in draSnatic litera-
ture. penned by the wonderful genius
of Henrik Ibsen and tuned by the mel
odies of Norway's master composer,
Edward Grieg. Here the role will be
interpreted by the player who is now
recognized as the leaGing character
actor on the American stage.
The production is big one. There
are eleven complete sets of scenery,
consisting of ninety hanging pieces, 1877
Individual fiat pieces, eighteen pieces or
with all shades of primary coiors for
atmospheric effects, and seven cleo
trical devices consisting of moving
clouds, lightning, wind and rain ma
chimes. waterfalls. etc.

it is not remarkable that he should
have acted badly in the circumstances.
The wonder is that he should have been
able to act at all.
oliver Morosco last week added Mrs
Temples Telegram" to the list of plays
he has announced for early presentation
at the Burbank. He also engaged Miss
Katherine Kirkwood, who was seen re-
Gently on the Burbank stage, to play a
role In the comedy. Miss Kirkwood Will
have parts too In "Mizpah,' 1.-The Road
to Yesterday" and MY Wife," and
probably will become a permanent
member of the Morosco forces.
Another play recently added to the
Burbank repertoire is THE Swindler."
a new piece by Howard Russell, an
actor-p playwright who four years ago
was a member of the Burbank stock or
ganization and who was the original
Charley in "Charley's Aunt" in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Russells play was re-
Gently produced by the Baker stock
company in Portland, where 1t was
very we'll received.
Richard Vivian signed a contract
with Frederick Belasco last week for
his fifth year at the Belasco theater,
Vivian originally was engaged to play
Juvenile roles at the Alcazar in San
Francisco. When Belasco opened here
the theater that bears his name, how
ever, he transferred Vivian to Los An
geles, with the understanding that the
move was to be merely temporary.
But Vivian made good and 1t seemed
unadvisable to make a change. He is
still here. and when the new contract
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-06

was signed the other day Fred Belasco
remarked jokingly that If "Dick"
wanted to go to Frisco he could do
so in another year, but that he would
have to play second old men instead
of juveniles.
A few days before he left New York
for Los Angeles William Mason, stage
director of the Stone company at the
Auditorium, met on the street an old
friend. In the course of their talk
Mason told him that he was going to
Los Angeles.
'Its a great town." said the other.
"I wish I was going with you. When
you get out there go to the" and his
friend gave Mason the name of ho-
tel which he forgot all about before he
had walked block.
The week after his arrival here
Mason picked up Los Angeles paper
and In reading the theatrical news dis
covered that Ben Graham was ex-
pected in town the next night to join
the Belasco company.
That's queer" he remarked to his
wife. "I met Ben on the street in New
York a few days before we came west,
and he said he should like to come out
here Then he had no expectations of
coming"
Two days later Mason determined to
look up his friend He tried to remem-
ber the name of that hotel, but the
only thing he could recall was that
the name, in some way, had suggested
the Holland house. The telephone di-
rectory disclosed a Hollenbeck hotel,
and there Mr.. Mason went on the
chance of finding C-s' I'm. His wife
went with him.
A hotel clerk, however, didn't know
Mr.. Graham and was quite certain he
hadn't registered. This put an end to
the search, and Mr.. Mason, with his
wife, went into the cafe for belated
dinner. TLey took seats near the Third
street window Five minutes later
Ben Graham, carrying grip, passed

Franklyn Underwood. who opens at
the Orpheum tomorrow In sketch, is
a well known stock actor on this coast.
He was leading man at Ye Liberty,
Oakland, for long time; he supported
both Florence Roberts and Nance
O'Neill in San Francisco and was fea-
tured with the Baker stock company or
Portland. Frances Slosson, his wife,
who appears with him, was with both
James O'Neil and Nance O'Neill on their
western tours. George Bloomquest, the
third member of the troupe, has played
in stock with James Neill and George
Fawcett, and was the original Glenn in
1.-THE Three of U.s." The peculiar mix
ing up of the name "Neilp' and
"O'Neill' in its various spellings with
the trio is unusual.
oliver Morosco seems to be no nearer
the securing of a new leading woman
than he was two months ago. The
trouble, apparently, rests in the fact
that competent actresses prefer to stay
east, even at small salary, where they
may be at least within a day of New
York's great white way. There Is, too,
surprising amount of misinformation
regarding Los Angeles current in those
New York resorts where actors most
do congregate. The one thing that Is
realized plainly is that the Burbank is
a continents breadth distant from the
syndicate offices.
1t is, of course, simple enough to
play leading roles; but it is tremend-
ously difficult to secure one who Will

Laugh he answered. BY Heck.
I'd like to see 'em laugh and he drew
from behind his back club as thick
through as your wrist.
Later 1 discovered that audiences
weren't allowed to laugh because they
were in a. church. They hadn't dared

Now that Helen Goff is installed in
the Gayety ranks it may be recalled
that several times this was predicted,
only to be denied. Miss Goff has beau
ty, a fine vioce and much eastern stage
experience. She should fill large and
hitherto unoccupied niche in the Cay
ETY. ranks, for that organization has
lacked a singer of ability in soprano
roles. Miss Goff, 1t is understood, is
not to rank officially as "prima DONNA"
though she will sing the prima donna
roles. There is distinction, 1T seems,
back of the footlights, but no differ
ence, SO far as an audience is con-
cerned.

Los Angeles young women who stepped
out of church choirs last fall to take
tour on the Orpheum circuit, have been
re-engaged and will start out this week
on another tour that will take them to

Hawaiians.
John Lane is declared to have the
active support of the Queen for his
mayoralty ambition, Notwithstanding
he brought back neither her thousand
dollars nor a plank in the platform de-
claring for payment to her of sum
for the crown lands. In fact, Lane
never got into the convention at all
with either voice or vote, or even
seat, except as a spectator. In the
Territorial convention, after the two
undoubted seats in the convention had
been given to Kuhio and Robertson, in
the distribution of the four hoped for
chances there was one for Oahu. There
was a fight for time for this be-
tween j. NJ Dowsett and Lane, and
finally Dowsett accepted election as
one of the two alternates, and Lane
had the field to himself and was
chosen as one of the four. These four
were never given any chance of break
ing into the convention as delegates.
Dowsett, on the other hand, was sure
of seat as an alternate in the con-
vention hall, and, as things turned out,
he was there as delegate and got the
best committee appointment in the
bunch.
John Wise, for Sheriff, seems to be
making good Roadway for the Repub-

cause of the default of other avowed
candidates There is feeling, how
ever, that has found expression, that
Wise is only blind for A. NJ. Brown;
that delegates ostensibly for Wise are
being staked out, but that when the
time comes they can all be swept into
the Brown band wagon.

IN THE SOCIAL REALM.
In Honor of Miss Gibson.

Miss Portia Fearis entertained at
the charming Fearis home on West
Main street Friday afternoon with a
500 party in honor of Miss Alice
Gibson, the bride of the coming
week. This ''forget-me-not" party
was pleasant affair, blue and pink
or-get-me-nots characterizing the
different features of the party, the
score cards being typefied by dainty
wedding bells, scores being kept by
for-get-me-nots and so on, and will
long linger as a pleasant memory
with the honoree and other guests
present.
Mrs. r. w. Getzendaner made the
highest score and was awarded a
fetching little chatting dish apron,
carrying out the pink for-get-me-
not design and beautiful armlets
with the blue for-get-me-nots, which
she presented to the honor guest.
Delectable peanut and deviled
ham sandwiches, grape juice, grape
ice and chocolate waters were serv-
ed at the close of the games.

briefly that he had come to explain
the issues before the people In the
gubernatorial race. He said it was a
peculiar situation in which an OBJ
scure man sought to GUST the man
who received the nomination of the
party two years ago, thing unpre-
cedented in the history of the demo
cratic ty-Brownwood Bulletin
That's true; it is peculiar situa-
ton.
Indeed it is!
Tom Campbell received the nomi-
nation two years ago and here's an
obscure man seeking to GUST him
and, what's more, stands good
chance to succeed.
Truly, thing unprecedented in
the history of the democratic party
not in Georgia, however.
Something has got the matter with
the people; what can it be?
Judge Henderson tolf the people
of Brentwood that the Chinese have
few laws, adding: You see their
condition. The judge must prefer

NUMBER OF STATE BANKS.
More Than Three Hundred Under
the Supervision of Colonel Love

More Than Three Hundred Under
the Supervision of Colonel Love
Austin, Texas, July 1S.-With the
chartering of the Citizens State
bank of Wheeler, the number of state
banks was brought up to 1876.
Under the supervision of Colonel
T. B. Love these state institutions
have made wonderful progress and
the last statement showing their con-
dition at the close of business June
IA, indicates a general prosperity
throughout the state.
There are now three state bank ex-
aminers and it is understood that
when the number of state institu-
tions will have reached the four
hundred mark another examiner
will be appointed, since 1t will be al
most impossible for three examiners
to cover the state in the time re-
CURED by law.
Many of the state institutions are
located in towns miles from rail-
road and for this reason considerable
time is consumed in making the
rounds.
Before the last legislature met
there was but one examiner and the
rapidity with which new banks have
been chartered since that time has
necessarily increased the number to
three.

DEATH OF MRS. MITCH GRAY.
Former, Waxahachie Woman Died
This Morning in Wisconsin

Former, WAXdh8Cnlc woman D1eO
This Morning in Wisconsin
A telegram was received here to-
day from Waukeegan, Wis, bearing
the sad news of the death of Mrs.
Mitch Gray of Dallas, which occurred
there early this morning. Mrs. Gray's
death was quite sudden and the news
of her demise came as great shock
to her relatives and friends. She was
a daughter of Mrs. Mary E. Hawkins
and a sister to Judge Lee Hawkins,
E. p Hawkins and Mrs. C. A. Ar
mold. Her father was the late Col.
B. F. Hawkins, one of the pioneers
of Ellis county and the county's first
clerk, which position he held several
years. Mrs. Gray was reared in Wax
ahachie, but has resided in Dallas
several years. She was a most ex-
cellent woman and numbered her
friends here by the score.
