LOS ANGELES HERALD: MORNING. JANUARY % 1908

1t has been for the past two seasons
the most pronounced success at Covent

as the feature of the season at the
Opera Comique, where three of the
Savage prima donnas, Misses Wolff,
Strakosch and DeFillippe, studied the
opera.
The work is novelty in modern
music, with a score expressive of deep
human emotion. Its music is de-
scribed as having enchanting, enamo-
ric beauty With it Puccini sways

rhythmic response. His orchestral pic

fng fascinating.

found with an unparalleled personal

CONAN SHOW
BELOW MARK
GEORGE WASHINGTON JR. is A
RATHER TAME AFFAIR
HAS GOOD LINES, BUT is NOT UP
TO CONAN STANDARD
Company Which Presents the Piece Is
Much Better Than the Play
Deserves--staglns is
Shabby
BY sIDLE LAWRENCE

George M. Cohan's George WASH
ington, Jr.," announced as the national
song show" opened an engagement of
three nights at the 4dason last night.
with Carter DeHaven and Flora Par
ker in the leading roles and with Will
lis P. Sweatnam in one of those darkey
characters upon which the Sweatnam
reputation as a funmaker is founded.
A Cohan show is like nothing else
known to the American stage. There
fore one Cohan show must be compared
with another, if comparisons are to be
made at ALL So judged the current
production marks no advance IN the
Conan output. 1t represents the epo
tide of Cohan ingenuity in situations,
lines and music and it evidences lit
tie of that skill in eccentric charae-
ter delineation for which George NJ.
Conan is famous
There are good lines in George
washington. Jr.," but they are not
MANY. and its plot, at the close, goes
to pieces SO quickly and unexpected
" that nothing is left of 1t. The
American flag is displayed prominently
in two of the three acts as much
needed incentive to applause. but even
the flag fails to savs the final scene
from banality.
A Few Good Lines
OF course there are occasional
flashes of the familiar brand of Cohan
wit Perhaps the most characteristic
line in the piece Is remark aimed at
a psuedo English girl whose blase
attitude of cold Indifference leads an
other character to say of her:
.sThere'u be skating on the Potomac
tonight if she looks at the river much
longer" This is distinctly Cohanesque,
but unfortunately it doesn't last.
George washington, jr., remarks: THE
senate is the finest body of men that
money can buy" and is rewarded with
a laugh. Someone says: cupid is the
advance agent of a furniture house,"
and someone else: He who laughs
last doesn't see the point as quickly
as the man who laughed first" But
these are more or less fertile cases in
a desert of commonplace dialogue.
The company is much better than
the play. Carter DeHaven in the
title role possesses an agility of person
and locution that serves him well, and
he is ably abetted i'm his fun making
by Miss Flora Parker, an exceedingly
sprightly young woman of most pleas
ing appearance. The others do quite
as we'll as could be expected with the
material allotted to them.
A Neglected Opportunity
The scene of the first act is laid at
Mt. Vernon, where party of tourists
come to visit Washington's home.
Right here Conan misses a fine oppor-
tunity. similar idea was utilized
several seasons ago by Clyde Fitch in

Now in its second week at the Audi

repeat its remarkable career of last
season, when 117,000 persons saw it
during its five weeks run. This will
make the seventh week that the play

persons witnessing it than any pre-
vious single day., with the exception
of zone Saturday last season, when a
morning matinee was given. This is
unprecedented in Los Angeles. The
play is given with the same elaborate
scenic and light effects used last week
and last season. Already the seat sale
indicates that this will be bigger

"ARE YOU cRAZY?" PLEAsES
AUDIENCES AT THE GRAND

Three characters whose makeup is
as nearly identical as possible furnish
the motive of Are You Crazy the
weeks offering at the Grand. one OF
these is young lawyer who assumes
a disguise resembling a man of whom
he is In search for professional reasons.
This is Jack Freshman, played by
Frank Damsel. The second is the man
of whom Freshman is in search. he Is
William Uphill, in love with Angelina.
The third is Dicky Doolittle, a crook
for whom the police are on the look
out. He is the runaway husband or
Bridget. the landlady. The lover re-
turns, the crook attempts little job
and the lawyer finds himself in all
sorts of trouble through being mis-
taken for the others.
The three chase each other in a
merry ring. The lawyer is after the
lover, and the lover is after the girl,
and everybody is after the crook.
They get him and that ends it.
Jack Freshman has a sweetheart
and a stenographer. He also has a
father who is anxious to look into the
young mans accounts and find out
how business is going. AS Jack has
had only one client, the young woman
who has employed him to look up her
sweetheart, the inquisition is embar-
RAISING.
Father Falls Into Trap
Jacks father objects TO his sons
matrimonial intentions and picks his
sons stenographer for substitute.
The supposed stenographer is really
the sweetheart and readily promises to
marry the son If he will have her.
Then the old man sees his intended
daughter-in-law kissing the son, who
is disguised, and charges her with
flirting. This also is embarrassing
The much sought lover comes in for
his share of trouble when the police
mistake him for the crook, when
Bridget thinks he is her runaway hus-
band and when Jacks laundress pur-
sues him with an unpaid bill.
The rest of the trouble belongs to
the escaped thief Dicky Doolitt.e After
getting away from his Bridget and
making a nice little haul he is finally
captured and the riddle solved.
The greatness is all on the stage.
The audience is not infected. They en-
10y some hearty laughs and some
pretty songs by Frank Damsel and
Frances Farr which would save a play
of less merit than Are You Crazy"
There is. however, little originality to
the piece.

FORTUNE TELLING IS
SERIOUS FOR HIM

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-Because
he seemed to fill in nearly every. par
ticular the description given by a
Philadelphia fortune-teller to Joseph
Msrgerum. near Willow Grove, OF the
man who robbed his house on the
Davisville road. Clement Brown. a
yenng man OF Willow Grove, was ar
rested charged with the burglary.
This was done, notwithstanding that
the place where the fortune-teller said
the money was hidden proved TO con-
tain nothing but dead leaves and
sticks. So convinced was Margerum
of Browns guilt that Magistrate Luff
decided to hold the young man for a
further hearing.
Margerum' house was entered at
night by burglar. who took $40 from
q child's bank and S. from the side
board and the fortune-teller was con-
suited.

we could make rubber as good as the

a process will become immensely

been put forward In recent years to
increase the supply OF rubber have fail
