last night for San Francisco to join
Kolb and Dill. She goes north to sue
Ceed Maybelle Baker, Kolb and Dllps
prima donna, who was severity injured
in an automobile accident Sunday, one
of her legs being broken in two places.
News of Miss Bakers accident will be
received with regret by her many
friends here. 1t is a curious coinci-
dence that she owed her position to
a similar accident which temporarily
disabled Miss Adele Rafter and gave
Miss Baker, then a chorus girl, an
opportunity to make good in leading
roles.

legal loophole before he undertook
the case, yet the thrust by Annie that
he was afraid of his rich client was
not without its effect. All the other
roles were capably taken, and a plaus-
ible effort made to establish the IN
consistencies of the impossible father
by Mr.. Coleman.
Yet the two failures Of the play:
To punish Jeffries, sr., and to vindi-
cate Annie before the world, will not
down. Our sense of dramatic justice
demands these two things, and all the

BY FLORENCE BOsARD LAWRENCE

BY FLORENCE BOSARD LAWRENCE
Viennese operetta, which has delighted
eastern audiences for the past two
years, is at last making it's way to Los
Angeles. Early in the season, the ia
nous Lehar operetta "The Merry
Widow" was sung for the first time
on a local stage, and last night an
equally musical and delightful COM
position by another Vienna musician
pleased a large audience at the Audi
torium.
In Mile. Mischief, Corinne has found
a vehicle which allows ample oppor-
tunity for the display of her own
winsome personality, at the same
time giving chance for brilliant
chorus work, and much amusing
comedy of the more polite sort. The
music and orchestration is beautiful
and the songs are catchy without de-
scending to the commonplace.
Many of the melodies have that per-
sistent haunting quality which makes
for success and yet they are well
above the grade of the average pop
ular music. Two of the songs, Sweet
heart" and Lonesome" made a pro-
nounced success with the audience last
night and bid fair to achieve decided
furore during the engagement of the
Mile. Mischief company here.
Corinne, accustomed all her life to
stardom, took the center of the stage
as the mischievious girl disguised as
a boy and Venturing to the barracks.
She cajoled the old colonel and be-
fooled the young "leftenant" to the
huge delight of the spectators. Despite
some most ungainly costumes, she held
the attention and admiration of her
audience which she charmed with her
nonsense and with her sprightly and
graceful dancing. Her voice is pleas
ant and the songs she sings well
adapted to its range and quality, and
her gayety throughout the piece is
most infectious
Other principals of the cast who
proved decidedly meritorious vocally
or dramatically were Harry Linkey,
whose excellent voice showed to ad-
vantage in the song with chorus, THE
Army Corps" and Bonnie Farley and
Louise Brunelle, who sang and danced
with a pleasurable chic and wore delec-
table .frocks. Albert Howson and
Charles w. Meyer were adequate in
their parts and Edward w. Cutler
played the part of the rich mans son
with quite the necessary stiffness
which the lines demanded.
The chorus includes large number
of young men and women VINO sing
well, dance gracefully and work with
a snap and verve which brings the en-
tire performance up to an excellent
and inspiring finale. The costumes are
all in excellent taste and unusually
beautiful without the bizarre effect
which has been the goal OF costumars
for the last few seasons Small details
of the toilette as boots, hats and
hosiery are points in which the general
carefulness of the company manage
ment is we'll demonstrated Each oil
the three scenes presents an unusual
and beautiful stage picture, and the
audience last night displayed genuine
pleasure in the performance and high
appreciation Of the artistry Of cast
and chorus.

BIG DANCE IS
ON FOR NEXT
FRIDAY night

On Friday night there will be one
of the old-time dances given in the
Miners Exchange hall by a number
of lovers of the old-time terpsi-
chorean art. There will be qua
drilles, Virginia reels, polkas and
all the old dances that at one time
were the delight of our grandpar-
ents. The affair will be under the
auspices of what is termed the Ar
kansas Quadrille Dancing club, and
invitations have already been issued.
The bids are also unique in their way
and represent one of the puzzles that
are now seen in the farmers maya
zines. For the word Arkansas there
appears an ark, can and saw.
The quadrille shows -four couples
going through the evolutions of that
mystic dance. Dancing shows two
couple doing prize waltz and the
club speaks for itself Friday is
shown by big fish.
The orchestra for the occasion will
be the fiddle and organ and they
will be manipulated by real Arkansas
musicians, who have been secured at
an enormous expense.
