for five weeks, establishing a new rec
ord for Los Angeles. Last summer it
was revived and ran for two more
weeks. The play is a melodrama of the
better class, a melodrama without sem
sationalism. That it has more than d
merely local popularity is shown by
the fact that with it Dick Ferris broke
all records in Minneapolis, and that it
also holds numerous stock records in
other cities.
The current presentation gains addi-
tional interest through the appearance
of Miss Florence Stone as Evelyn Hun
tington, a part for which she was high
ly praised in the east. but which in
Los Angeles has never been played by
anyone except Miss Blanche Hall, who
created it, A. Byron Beasley will re-
peat his mastery performance Of the
name part, a role in which he is at
his best; and William Desmond will
again be seen as Ross Kenion.
"The Halfbreed" calls for elaborate
staging and the original big production
will be presented in its entirety, In
Guiding the realistic rainstorm. For
the most part the popular Burbank
players will be seen in the roles with
which they have been associated In the
past. A large number of extra people
will be employed in the exciting mob
scene.
MASON-Here is a brief story Of
1.-THE Clansman," the celebrated white
supremacy play whose engagement this
week at the Mason opera house Will be
one of the red-letter events of the sea-
SON:
The first act is laid in front of the
home of DR.. Cameron, white aristo-
crat, in Piedmont, S. c., in 1857. The
scene is alive, with picturesque crowds
of a typical southern town, among
which two parties are strongly defined,
l. e., the carpetbaggers and their negro
tools who have set up Republican
government, and the southern whites,
who are deprived of the right to vote
and are at the mercy of their former
serfs. DIR. Cameron's son, Ben, has
been nursed to health by a northern
girl, Elsie Stoneman, and has fallen in
love with her. Austin Stoneman,
stern old radical, agrees to allow Ben
to marry Elsie If the young man will
take sides against his friends and
neighbors; Ben Cameron refuses. In
stead, he tears down the proclamation
of the federal general commanding So
cial equality and permitting the inter-
marriage of blacks and whites.
In the second act the Cameron horne
stead is auctioned off for unpaid taxes.

Little Miss Mignon, who gave irnper-
sonations last week at the Orpheum,
never had any teacher-she just grew
into it along with Cissie Lotus and the
latter's elaborate training. Never had
q dancing master, never had a singing
teacher; never had anything except her
own way. OF course, Miss Mignon did
pass through that period when all girls
take music, and, by the way, If it be-
came necessary she might put on a
Stunt with the worries and get away
with it-but Mignon, always having her
own way, won't play the piano in pub
lie. So she pust sings Cupid Is the
Captain of the Army which she i'm
ported from England, of course, along
with the cap she wears while singing
1t, and cuts up high links and mimics
favorites to her hearts content-and
the circuit manager decided 1t is worth
money, so Mrs. Dora Ross, Mignon's
mother, let's 1t go at that and don't try
to teach Mignon anything else.

One of the strange anomalies of stage
life appears in THE Little Blonae
Lady" in which Miss Hope Dooth is
appearing at the Orpheum. In New
York Miss Booth is Mrs. Rennold
Wolf, wife of the erudite dramatic
critic of the New York Telegraph. In
her sketch at the Orpheum Miss Booth
roasts dramatic critics in way that
always has the effect of raising Bills
ters on any hapless member of that
unfortunate guild who happens to hear
it. There is but one explanation. ME-
Wolf is a very exceptional critic.

Morrow and Schelburg, who Will ap-
pear in a sketch at the Orpheum this
week, are credited with introducing
supers into vaudeville. Often, some
one man-usually "Props"-wallks on as
a servant in a sketch, but these folks
REQUIRE half a dozen, and the super
list is consulted for the services OF
the requisite extras. This is the first
instance on the Orpheum stage where
extra men have been required.

Miss sybn Page. prima donna of the

one of the saddest looking ours that

a property dog, but If you kick 1t in

that 1t is a real dog, unless it is asleep

WHEN OLD RED CLOUD BURIED HATCHET

Far away IN Wyoming lived the Sioux

for he wanted 70 lead other Indians him

eighteen years old he had already learned
TO use the bow. could ride Indian ponies
and swim deep rivers. and was a great
buffalo hunter; besides. he often danced
IN war dances with older braves IN some
way he managed TO set a rife which fired
several times without reloadlug. and after
that he began TO feel Of much more i'm
portance than other young Indians
At first the young braves were angry
with him, but he soon showed them that
he was a skiufu warrior. and before
long many young Indians chose him for
feather in his war bonnet and was real
chief
At this time Uncle sam had promised
20 give each Indian a good blanket, and
they were glad 20 get them The blankets
were all bright red. and when this young
Indian and his followers. each wearing a
red blanket. rode rapidly past. some one
