SCORES A SUCCESS
San Franciscans will be glad to hear
that little Edna Wallace Hopper has
scored a success in vaudeville. She
made her debut at Keeney's theater in
Brooklyn last week. Miss Hopper has
four new songs: Il want You All for
Ny own" into which the audience read
a meaning that was not intended, but
regarding which Miss Hopper merely
smiled the more bewitchingly; Whats
the Use of All These Things Without
a Girl Inside?" which was half song,
half patter, reminiscent of the ditties
Of R. G. Knowles; 81 Just Couldn't Do
Without-You," and "a Difficult Girl to
Find" Her success in vaudeville was
immediate, and when she gains conf
dence and uses her remarkably sweet
voice TO the plenitude of its powers,
she viii certainly be one Of vaudeville's
very brightest stars.
CALIFORNIA COLOR IN PLAY
Another new play, distinctly Califor-
nian in Color, bids fair 10 achieve as
great a success as The Rose Of the
% fv ,a1-T Toll
called The Angel of the Trail" 1t was
produced at the Folly theater ia Brook
lyn last Monday and was well received.
The leading female part is played by
Selma Herman, who plays sentimental
and emotional parts with great power
and strength.
Perdita, an orphan girl. is reared and
educated in an old Spanish mission in
San BernardinO county. Her father,
a Mexican military officer, led his forces
against the Americans in the siege of
the Alamo and lost his life in battle.
Her mother, in trying TO escape across
the trail, was killed by a band of Nav
ajo Indians, from whom Perdita was
rescued by a troupe of rangers and
placed in charge of a kindly old priest
At the mission she gained the good
VIII and love Of all by her cheerful
ness and good deeds. All is tranquil in
her life until there arrives on the scene
an American in search of 4 notorious
outlaw. Perdita aids him in his work
and becomes involved in numerous ex-
citing adventures, as wei as entagled
in a love affair which, as usual, ends
happily.
There are a number Of picturesque
stage views, notably one of the Needle
mountains, on the top of which is the
historic mission Of Silver Chimes"
