MISS STONE SCORES
IN DIFFICULT PLAY

There was day when stage business
carried with it an investiture of the
heroic and romantic which enthralled
and held US, no matter how deficit 1t
may have been in it's sembiance of
reality. When the hero appeared in
doublet and hose, we were not so apt
to notice that he was bowlegged, or
that he wore "symmetricals," as we are
in these more discerning days. Aud
iences have become critical, with the
marvellous advance of stage craft, and
this fact is making the staging of plays
of pageantry and spectacles more and
more difficult.
Considering this the Burbank Thea
ter Stock company has begun am
bilious undertaking In putting on Tn
the Palace of the King" the first per-
formance of which was given last night.
While the staging was creditable, the
players were Handicapped by the lack
of the elaborate stage accessories re-
quired for the play, and accomplished a
great deal in the face of this difficulty
Florence Stone, in the part of Dolores
de Mendoza, added another decided sue
cess to her already long list. A. Byron
Beasley, in the part of villainous King
Philip of Spain, was admirably cast
and gave an exceedingly strong inter-
probation Of the part. William Des-
lllOHCJ lIlS SWdbnDuckIlIlS nero, WdS
more or less neglible as to intense
dramatic expression, but carried the
role adequately, in so far as heroics and
statuesque poses were required
Although it is difficult to Judge from
first night performance, by a stock
company. Miss Stone appeared to be
somewhat i'll cast in her part. The
role, in its frequent quick changes
from the intensely emotional to the
liUhtnr Gha6pG of 1rixro Cft nd nj
fulness, requires delicate nuances of
expression, of which Miss Stone seems
hardly capable. Once she reached a
climax of real dramatic intensity when
she accused the king of the murder
of Don John, but at other times her
accusing wrath seemed nothing more
than petulance. Katherine Kirkwood,
who took the part of the treacherous
princess, should be able to give a
strong Interpretation Of the part of
Dolores, possibly stronger than that of
Miss Stone if she could achieve the
lighter touches, in which the fair
haired Minneapolis actress is go
charming.
Henry Stockbridge as the court fool
is decidedly deserving of mention.
While his work was marred by being
a bit too STACEY" at the last, on the
whole he gave an excellent portrayal
of difficult character.
The play, dramatized from F. Marion
Crawford's novel, is too we'll known to
require an outline. 1t has a num-
ber of strong situations, plenty of he
roic sentiment, pomp and pageantry.
an attractive hero and heroine and a.
happy king.
Considering the fact that it is a
stock performance which always
means that some of the actors must
wing" their part, the performance is
decidedly a credit to the company and
to Miss Stone.

tory heretofore.
Profit in Pork
Hog raising is one Of the profitable
industries of the valley.
There seems to be some mysterious
connection between hog raising and
craftsmanship, as Edgar F. Howe OF
the Imperial Standard remarked.
During his last visit to the valley
Congressman-elect S. G. Smith said
he'd like to own a ranch somewhere
in Imperial valley" said Mr.. Howe,
land intimated that he would wish TO
stock it with hogs.
Seen, Frank C. Prescott, register OF
the Los Angeles land Office, after drlV-
ing east of Imperial and noting the
large number of fine ranches in that
direction, also said he would like to
own 800 acres of land down here, and
believed the first thing he would do
would be to go into hog raising. Cen
eral Prescott remarked that on his
drive he saw as fine and thrifty hogs
as he ever saw in any stock raising
section.
'The fact is hogs and alfalfa, chick
ems and alfalfa, and bees and alfalfa
grow together all year round in I'M

ACTRESS IN
TOLLS OF UTAH POLICE
Two Thousand Dollars Worth of Furs
Found In Alleged Paramour's
Room-Both Accused of
Shoplifting

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 8-From
the vaudeville stage to shoplifting is
the transition of Ola Hayden, accord
ing to charges made by the police.
L. Davis was arrested on the street
last night. Fifty dollars worth of
stolen dry goods was found under his
overeoat. In a few minutes a woman
whom he had registered as his wife
was arrested. She had purchased a
$3.50 waist at the store where Davis
had secured his loot.
a subsequent search of their room
brought to light furs and silks to the
value of about $4,000.
This evening the woman admitted she
had purposely engaged the attention of
a clerk while Davis appropriated the
articles found on him, but denied COM
plicity in any other robbery.
She also said her name is Ola Hay
den and that she has played in vaude-
vile in all the cities OF the Pacific
coast.
Her husband, whose name she with
holds, is in Alaska, and she added that
she has two children, a daughter in
Helena, Mont, and a son in Denver.
Her father is an actor and is now in
San Francisco.
Since leaving San Francisco three or
four months ago, the pair have visit
ed Seattle, Boise and other snorthwes-
tern cities. They will be brought to
trial here on the charge of larceny.

hero, however, arrives in time ito raise
the last $4,000 bid by one loaded Win

where the plotters follow them in the
second act to make still more trouble.
In the third act there is thrilling

FORECAST OF BIG CROWDS
AT "MADAM BUTTERFLY"

The Belasco box office reports the
largest advance sale for the Madam
Butterfly" production in the history of
the house. This is not surprising, as
the pathetically strong little tragedy
has never been seen here before except
in the guise of a grand opera. The
opera was taken from David Belascos s
play with his permission, but dragging
it out for three acts did not help it
except as it gave a chance for the
beautiful Puccini music. Everything
that is in the opera is condensed in the
one-act tragedy and under Frederick
Belascos clever stage management the
production will be equal to that put on
in New York. Miss Bernard, who is
to play the title role, it Is said, will be
a great surprise, even to her friends.
There are many inquiries at the box
office window for seats for The
Critic" Sheridan's laughing comedy.
1t has never been produced here in
regular stock, the Belasco company
playing it for the benefit of the man
ayers in one performance and for the
Friday Morning club at its club house.

ISLE OF SPICE" OPENS AT
GRAND WITH NEW SPEcIALTlES

Every year sees the Semblance of
plot in musical comedies drawn down
to a finer thread, and the time cannot
be far distant when it will reach the
vanishing point with vaudeville, If the
present tendency continues. When
the gallant young naval officer exiled
with other adventurers on an island,
draws his sword and tells the wicked
king in the name of the United States
that he will have to call off his be-
heading speciality the audience smiles
tolerantly and absolutely refuses to be
thrilled. The public is looking for
some slap-dash comedy and unless
plenty of trough stuff appears along
with a sufficiently agile and attractive
chorus the show is frost.
Ginger In New Show
In the isle of Spice" now playing
at the Grand, you have the trough
stuff" and have it abundantly. Wat
son and Williams who jingle the bells
for this spicy aggregation, hand out
high class line of hokum, and some of
their merry quips have the surprising
quality of neWneSS. One of the come
dians, the sad one, who sprang the
Illuminating joke about the gas man,
made a decided hit at the two opening
performances yesterday. If you want
to know what the joke was you will
have to see the show, and along with
1t you will get enough other jests and
gibes to establish your reputation as
a humorist in your neighborhood, if
you Just remember them. When Mack
inaw and OGrady, impersonated hap
PLY by the before-mentioned Watson
and Wilson, proposed to take King
Bomp6pka's money away from him in
bank game he asked them if bank
was anything like poker. They told
him no, that poker dates back to the
beginning of stoves, while bank deals
back to the days of faro. The king,
who incidentally was gotten up like
Harlequin, also achieved several cred
liable gags. The fact that he sprang
his jokes with the smile of deceased
doghsh cast up on lone beach, made
him all the more effective. One Of his
best ones is a definition of ',purrul.
Teresa his ward, informs him that her
lover has called her his "purrul." The
king tells her that a 'purru" is a
"small manufactured article, grown on
an oyster and worn by little neck"
Songs Are Good
While the songs and scenic special
ties showed little variance from the
usual run of musical comedy stunts,
they were all good. Alive e. Lang, Sam
Rose. Margaret Comstock, Julia de
Cynthia and Watson all were encored
heartily and deservedly Miss de Gym
thia, who In spite of her name has
Tipperary smile, furnished one of the
most pelasing features of the show
with her song Peggy Brady" Wat
sons song "Oh What a Beautiful
Dream" was hit.
on the whole, the performance is
far better than that put on in Los
Angeles a year ago. Unless you have
a hopeless crouch or voted for Bryan,
the isle of Spice will be sure to hand
YOU a laugh-a good many, in fact.

Among the many features of yes
