Knowles claimed that Watson had
stated that the laboring men were TOO

1.-THE Girl in Green" a new musical
comedy by Will Carleton, author of
Lonesome Town." in which Kolb and
Dill made a big New York success last
season, will have its first production on
any stage at the Venice auditorium
July 10, and will mark an interesting
change in policy in the management OF
that amusement resort.
A company has been organized by
r. L. James to present a season of
musical comedy at the beach. The or
ganization will number twenty, with a
chorus of eight girls, and will remain
at the beach resort through the hot
weather.
"The Girl in Green" is a summer
show, and at Venice the management
will be able to adopt the eastern roof
garden plan of serving refreshments
through the auditorium. No admission
charge will be made to the lower moor,
and patrons will be permitted to smoke
if they wish.
The management, I understand, will
attempt to keep secret the identity of
their leading woman for the first week,
at least. She will be 1.-THE Girl in
Green" but will have no other name
upon the programs. The company will
be recruited largely in Los Angeles.
Lewis S. Stone, accompanied by his
wife and baby daughter and by MISS
Adela Harrington, will leave Los An
geles Tuesday for the east. The Stones
go to Chicago, Cleveland and to New
York, where Mr.. Stone will be met by
Manager John Blackwood, the object
of the trip being to secure players for
the Lewis S. Stone company, which
opens at the Auditorium probably
August 81 The return trip will be
made a week or ten days before that
date.
The admirable work Mr. Stone has
done here as leading man of the Be
lasco stock company has not passed
unnoticed in eastern managerial OFFICES.
A few days ago he received letter
from Harrison Grey Fiske offering him
the position of leading man with Mrs.
Fislle next season and asking him to
call upon Mr.. Fiske as soon as he ar
rives in New York Other arrange
ments already having been made, Mr..
Stone was not in a position to accept
this Offer even had he desired to do so.
1t proves, however, that recognition of
his abilities is by no means confined
to the Pacific coast.

OBSERVATIONS BY
A FIRST NIGHTER

MISS CAROLYN Won BENZON,
wi who went east a few weeks ago
ASA to seek an engagement in comic
opera, has succeeded beyond her most
sanguine expectations. Miss Won Ben
zon has signed a five-year contract
with Henry w. Savage, and during the
coming season will be heard as Sonia
in one of Mr.. Savage's Merry Widow
companies, and in the leading role of
tom Jones'"
The day the contract was signed Miss
Won Benzon wrote to a friend in this
city that the arrangements with Saw
age were most satisfactory. She is to
be taught dancing and fencing at Mr..
SaVage's expense, and now is singing
Natalie in 1.-THE Merry Widow" until
she can master the role of Sonia. Next
year she expects to go with the Savage
English grand opera company.
Miss Won Benzon came to Los Ange-
les from San Diego, where she had
been singing in church choir. For a
time she was a member of the Phil
harmonic quintet and for a year she
sang in one of the Christian Science
churches of this city. She has many
friends here
Dick Ferris is up to his old tricks
again in Minneapolis. The Ruby Rich
ard is never as happy as when he has
hit upon some Sensational device for
advertising Miss Florence Stone and
the Dick Ferris stock company" A
few days ago he pulled off one of these
stunts in the Flour city, and another
is announced for the near future. With
all due respect to Dick the first effort
was somewhat tame, but he promises
to make amends later.
Recently wild west" show arrived
in Minneapolis. OF course there was a
parade. Now there's only one thing
that makes bigger hit with Dick Fer
ris than a properly conducted circus
parade, and that is two parades, under
rival arrangements, in the same town
at the same time. incidentally, Dick
is somewhat fond of parading himself
Consequently he called upon the wild

to go with his red hair, and then pro-

would score a triumph in the role. She
verified his prediction.
Last night Belasco went even further.
"Miss Grey will remain with me-" he
said, for several years. Before 1 get
through with her she will be a New
York star Which, ] believe, may
properly be interpreted both as threat
and as a promise.
Daniel Frohman, one of the reigning
powers that be in affairs theatrical,
will arrive in Los Angeles this morning
and will leave at once for Catalina, re-
turning here tomorrow afternoon. Mr..
Frohman, as is generally known, came
west on a vacation trip and to be with
his wife, who is known professionally
as Margaret Ellington and who plays
the leading role in "The Thief" which

PERFECT PLANS FOR
THE AUTUMN SEASON

nLANS for the autumn season in
Los Angeles playhouses are now
n pretty we'll settled, the situation
having clarified in marked degree dur
ing the past week. Just at present the
Grand is the only house the future OF
which remains uncertain. The Audi
torium will be occupied by the Lewis
S. stone company, under the manage
ment of John Blackwood. The Belasco
and Burbank will continue to present
stock productions. The Mason Will Of
fer the more expensive and the Ma
iestic the cheaper syndicate attractions,
while the Orpheum will continue to
present advanced vaudeville" Talk
of a new Orpheum seems to have suA-
sided and there is little chance that
change will be made in existing ar
rangements within the present theatrl-
cal year.
Architects now are at work upon
plans for remodeling the Peoples the
alter to make it suitable for housing the
stair & Havlin attractions, while
vaudeville, under the Sullivan & Con-
sidine management. will occupy the
Los Angeles. The stage at the people
will be considerably enlarged and a
gallery probably will be added to the
house.
with both the Auditorium and the
Los Angeles eliminated, it seems UNI
likely that Dick Ferris will attempt a
season in Los Angeles this year. Dick,
it is known, tried to secure leases on
both houses. At one time he even went
so far as to seek plays for presenta-
ton in Los Angeles, but the latest turn
of the theatrical kaleidoscope apparent
ly eliminates him from the local the-
atrical field for some time 20 come.
Three stock companies are about all
Los Angeles can support; and even
we're Dick ready to enter the lists
there seems to be no house available
for his venture.
