Arrangements were made last week
for the presentation of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan's comedy of 1.-THE Critic, or a
Tragedy Rehearsed," before the Friday
Morning club, June 26. The Belasco
stock company, which presented the
play at the Mason few weeks ago, at
Ia charity benefit performance, will
make the production, the two casts be-
ing identical with the exception of one
or two players who have since left the
city, among them being Joseph De
Grasse, now in San Diego.
Manager Oliver Morosco of the Bur-
bank theater has secured the Los An
geles rights to an unnamed play by
Howard P. Taylor, which will be pre-
sented at the Burbank before many
weeks. Mr.. Taylor, who is now in San
Francisco, will come here to superin-
tend the production, which will be the
first on any stage.

and upon his return remarked that as

Dick Ferris writes me from Min

advanced by the management of the
Belasco theater that all previous rec

just heard that the play was to enter
upon it's sixth week. Here is what he
has to say. on the subject:
'T have just read in the Los Angeles

1t is true that their run is the longest
consecutive run ever made by any stock

will wager $1,000 to $100 that more peo-

Naturally Frederick Belasco cannot
see the subject from Ferris viewpoint.
The performance tonight will be the
seventy-third of THE Girl of the Golden

/ is not yet over and thus exact attend
ance figures are not available. The
seating capacity of the Belasco, how
ever, is slightly less than 1900; and
thus if Ferris figures are correct, the
Main street house cannot hope to rival
them.
Mr.. Belasco calls attention to the fact
that several years ago. in stock at his

eighteen consecutive weeks. This of

tfOn of Public Interest,
JUDGE "A. B. PARKER
Submits the Plans of the New
York Delegation.
Report Will Not Be Ready Until
Thursday Afternoon.

Denver. July S.-W. ]. Bryan's views
as to what the Democratic national
platform should contain are fully be-
fore the subcommittee charged by the
convention with the work of drafting
that document. Governor Haskell, of
Oklahoma chairman of the resolution
committee and of the subcommittee
spent more than an hour during the
early hours of the morning reading to
the group of men who constitute the
subcommittee what Mr.. Bryan had
written in the form of planks. and what
he had telegraphed to the governor as
suggestions for planks the particular
phraseology of which is left to the COM
mittee should it be deemed wise to in
corporate the suggestions.
Mr. Bryan's views on the injunction
plank as thus transmitted are that the
plank should begin with the statement
that the party resents any attempted re-
fection upon the judiciary of the coun-
try; that not only are the courts them
selves created by law; their Jurisdiction
and authority are defined by law, as
we'll as their rules of procedure. The
position of the party on this subject in
the platforms of 1885, 1900 and 1904 is to
be endorsed: the further provision
made that in contempt cases the trial
is to be before any judge other than
the one issuing the writ. and most i'm
portant, the plank is to declare for the
re-enactment of the federal law requir-
ing notice to be given before such pre-
liminary injunctions shall issue. pre-
cisely as it existed prior to 1874. Mr..
Bryan made a subsequent suggestion
for this plank to the effect that it might
be well to provide that no injunction
or restraining order shall remain in
force for a period longer than three
DAYS. and that the hearing on such or
der shall be before two judges.
Mr. Bryan also believes an express
sion should be made to the effect that
circuit and district courts should not
have the power to suspend the rights
| of the state; that the right of appeal in
such cases should lie.
Currency Plank.
In his currency plank suggestion Mr.
BRYAN asserts tha. the treasury funds

text:
"Oriental laborers are within our

plank in the interest of all the coast

was apparently received with much
favor by the subcommittee and it is
generally believed that it will go into
the platform.
Mr.. Inrfan also presented the fol-
lowing:
