The Sop to Popularity

For four acts the play continues
straight forward. Then comes the in
evitable bid for popularity. The audi
ence, having behaved nicely and lis
tened to the preachment, must have
its sweet as reward; and there follows
an anti-climactic fifth act well enough
as a picture, but wholly destructive Of
the powerful impression left by the
drama upon the fall of that fourth act
curtain. Perhaps, as managers tell us,
this is a necessary evil; but it is none
the less deplorable or that.
Miss Florence Oakley as Leah acted
with inspiriting intelligence, displaying
a quietness of method that was tre-
mendolsly effective in the big scenes
of the play as well as in its quieter
passages. Since her coming to Los
Angeles this young woman has con-
stantly surprised even her most en-
thusiastic admirers. Last night she
surprised them again. Her Leah is a
finely realized portraitu re; perhaps OK
hibiting a shade too much Of lefiLe-
ment and delicacy, but a strong i'm
personation, nevertheless; a piece of
acting that will not soon be forgotten
by those who see 1t.

Leah's Parentage

I.eah's father is a thief and worse.
Yet he has acted the part of hero upon
occasion. He steals; teaches his
daughter to steal; uses her in the con-
trivance of blackmailing schemes, ana
would go even further did not the glrl
herself rebel against his proposals. he
is shown to be a man of some educa-
ton, marked ingenuity along criminal
lines; althogether remarkable rascal.
Leah's mother was an Austrian peas
ant woman, untaught in evil
From this stock comes a young girl
whose thievings begin e'er she has ar
rived in her teens; who steals because
stealing is the only thing she knows,
but in whom distaste for her mode or
life terminates even before the error OF
it is pointed out to her by the man who
first saves her from death and then
from prison.
Leah's struggle against herself Is
shadowed vaguely in the drama; her
struggle against external influences,
against her father and against the con-
trivings of Raoul Berton, young dis
reputable who has been captivated by
her pretty face, are shown with pitt
less frankness and with marked dra-
matte strength. The story, in certain
of It's details, is revolving, but it prob
ably is not beside the truth.

THE CAST
BY sIDLE LAWRENCE

<LT EAH KLESCHNA," a five-act
drama of criminology, is pre-
IA sented at the Auditorium this
week by the Lewis S. Stone company
with Mr.. Stone in the role of Paul Syl-
vaine, and Miss Florence Oakley In the
name part. The play, shold imagine,
has come to the American stage from
Paris, by way of London. The house
program is silent upon this point, put
there are not wanting passages
in the dialogue to indicate such q
transition. 1t was frsS presented IN Los
Angeles several years ago by Minnie
Madden Fiske.
For the. most part Leah Kleschna
is a gloomy play. 1t depicts the regen-
Grafton of a thief-a young woman
whom heredity and, environment have
ensnared and whose deliverance is ac-
complished in the end, but only over
difficulties which might well have CIV
en- pause to a less determined person.
ality. That is at once the strength Oh
the drama and of the character. Lean
works out her own salvation, encour-
aged only by the faith of a man VINO
has made a study of criminology ana
who discerns good in the girl even when
her morality is at its lowest ebb.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-20
Mr.. Stones Acting

Mr.. Stone, too, appears to admirable
advantage in this play. He, better
than any actor I know, can preach on
the stage without appearing to do so.
His Paul Sy1vaine exhibits ample re-
source and he makes the character
ring true, despite the handicap i'm
posed by the author.
The supporting company is better
disposed in this play than in anything
yet presented since the season opened.
There are, however, only three roles
of any prominence, outside of the two
already mentioned. Howard Scott
gives us an exceedingly artistic picture
of the degenerate son Of a respectable
family. George Farren enacts the role
of Kleschna with temperance and skill,
and Bennett Southard is effective as
Schram.
The scene between Mr.. Stone and
Miss Oakley at the close was deprived
of whatever force it might have had
otherwise by the incidental music,
which drowned out much of the dia-
logue and which was quite as unneces-
sary as it was annoying.

The Orpheum presents really ad-
vanced vaudeville this week in a pro-
gram which is far and away the best
seen at that house for some time. A
nearly all-star cast produces a bill of
acts which are varied and clever.
The Pianophiends. one Of Jesse Las
keys productions, is placed at the top
of the bill by the management, and the
house adopted the suggestion unanim-
ously. The act consists of plano con-
certed numbers, quartets and double
son and musical quality and two songs
OF the songs one, Dreaming of You"
is we'll sung by young man and
woman with beautiful voices. The
other song Is about some one who
borrowed my only husband and forgot
to bring him back" and is quite the
best thing in the bill. The singer, who
is unnamed on the program, delivers
her song with manner which places
the piece among the cleverest things
heard on a local stage this season
There is also some singing and dancing
by the double quartet, all of which is
enjoyable The piece is well staged but
is carelessly dressed.
In point of laughs the Ushers. Claude
and Fannie, win first place on program.
Their sketch, "Fagan's Decision" Is not
very good from a. dramatic standpoint,
but 1t gets lots of applause, and In one
place 1t changes abruptly to the
pathetic when Miss Usher does the
'longipg for the home and mother

Fastidious Smokers.

Of their war dances and the councils
afterward. You know, they sit in a
circle on the ground and pass the pipe
of good fellowship around in silence.
Each man takes two or three puffs
and then hands the pipe to his next
neighbor. But If you notice you will
see that in the whole circuit which it
makes the mouthpiece is never wet.
The red man merely lays the end Of
the stem against his lower lipg and,
keeping his mouth partly open, draws
deep breath. Removing the pipe. he
exhales the smoke and then perhaps
repeats the process, but he never puts
the mouthpiece into his mouth in the
common 'paleface' fashion. If he is
asked to smoke a peace pipe after a
white man, he first wipes off the end
of the pipestem where it has been in
the previous smokers mouth."-New

The Making Of Diamonds.

r 1t is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds. Indeed famous French
man of science, Moissan, made very
large numbers by means OF his cleo
trio furnace. His process was to dis
solve Jumps of sugar in molten iron,
subjecting the solution to enormous
pressure. Lump sugar may be said to
consist simply of water and diamond.
1t is the case that the diamond is mere
" crystallized carbon. There are three
kinds of carbon plumbago. graphite
and diamond composition of all OF
which is identical When charcoal is
dissolved in molten iron. graphite is
formed. All the diamonds found in
Borneo, Brazil, India and South Africa
are made in much the same manner
that is, by the action of great heat and
enormous pressure. Charcoal formed
from wood has been baked into dia-
monds, the enormous heat and pres
sure Of the earth's interior causing the
beautiful white stone to crystalline out.
Although artificial distinct from imi-
tation) diamonds have been made for
some time, the cost has been prohib-
tive, while the stones have been Of but
insignificant size and value.

A YoUNG LION SLAYER.
Boer Farmer Boys Good Shots on the

Boer Farmer Boys Good Shots on the
s9 African Veidt.
Three lions were killed near Peters
burg, Transvaal, the other day by the
nineteen-yearsold son of josef Eras-
mus, a Boer farmer, says the Pretoria
Volksstem.
1t appears that young Erasmus was
on his way to the Messina mine and
had outspanned his donkey team
when his Kaffir boy came running to
tell him that three lions were tackling
the donkeys. Erasmus seized his gun
and ran hard in the direction indicat-
ed. On his arrival at the spot he
found the lions lying around one of
the donkeys. He fired and killed a
big lioness.
The other two jumE ed up but he was
ready and shot another (younger) Ii
oness. The young lion which was
left ran behind some ..brushwood.
Erasmus first collected his donkeys
and brought them into safety and then
once more carefully approached the
scene Of the fight.
In order to find out if the two lion
esses We're dead he fired another shot
at one Of them. This disturbed the
surviving lion, who thereupon came
forth roaring. Erasmus was again
ready and shot him dead ON the spot
Asked by the Volksstem correspond
ent whether he was alone at the time
Erasmus replied: ooh, no, Dom,
