Speaking of $50 Miles from Boston. :"
 which is the first attraction offered
 at the Ohpheum next week on Tues ! day night, the dramatic writer of the Los Angeles Examiner has this to say
 in criticism. and it is of interest to the local theatregoers who want to know what others think of the attrac-
 tions offered here by Manager King
 in advance of the arrival of those at-
 fractions.
 There is good melodramatic story mixed up with all the meanness and
 vice and human cruelty that always marks village life, together with an immense lot of good fun, and the homely humor of plain minds which is better than fun.
 And it is rather well played. de spite the. fact that the cast blends races in way that would make a real Brookfield forget baseball, in the throes of theological riot.
 "A village brass band opens the first act, and from then to the fall of the final curtain you have "a succession of events and characters that have not been equalled since Sam. Slick ceased telling about his clock-selling life.
 You will like the band, you will like the volunteer fire department, you will like Mrs. Tilford" and her "ain't it awful" frock, and you will like the New England tra-la-Ia village maidens, disguised as show girls, and the double quartet, and the somewhat Oriental looking village belle; but above all you will like Jed Woods. paved by Edwin Betden.
 For he gives as true bit of good acting as anyone could wish to see, and that in face of some difficult hur- dies which the author placed in his way. But he gets over them in way that shows the possession of brains of his own This is just as remarkable as it sounds, though Mir Conan would not believe it probably.
 T was very glad last evening that Fifty Miles from Boston" had come three thousand and over away from home, and advise you to see it.
 If you do not like it, go see a doc tor, for there must be something wrong with your mind or your liver.
 H. H. Frazee, who produced "A Knight for Day" one of the greatest musical comedy successes which has been played in the past decade, an. nounces his latest production. ''The Girl Question:" for Wednesday, No vember II.
 This play like the other, Is by Will Hough and Frank Adams, while the music was written by Joseph E. How. ard, and the box office receipts and laudatory comments it has drawn have been nothing short of marvel ous.
 A big crowd of pretty girls, who can sing and dance, songs which not only captiyate one when heard from the stage, but which are equally pleas ing when whistled or sung at home; dancing numbers full of grace and | ginger, and cast of players which it | would be impossible to improve upon, ! together with a plot so human and of | such absorbing interest, and action | which changes so quickly and com pletely that the audience is epthrall- | ed from start to finish, constitute The Girl Question"
 The first act is laid in a restac- | rant in Chicago, where Con Ryan, the head waiter, is in love with the cash fer, Elsie Davis. Ryan is a big rough | good hearted fellow, whose every | speech is a laugh and whose humor | is all the more appreciated because | of its truth and naturalness. The l head waitress is in love with him, | and as he says, she is the best pal | a fellow ever had. Jo Foster is her name. Into the restaurant comes Jes- sic Sears. now the wife of a mag nate T. P. G. Sears, who owns nearly | all the country and is trying to get ] the rest, and who never spoke to his wife the first three weeks after they ! were married because he didn't want to interrupt her. Sears only needs a small block of stock to obtain con trol of big railway. but this stock | is held by Baron Won Tesmer, young | German, who has come to America | to find 'ls rightfuI owner, the girl |
