About 200 people attended the opening

that a neat sum will be melted the

of the dance, has promised to intro
duce an original feature. The music
will consist of thirty pieces under the
leadership OF j. N. Laraia of the Bur-
bank theater.
"St. Elmo" will continue at the Bur
bank theater for another last" week
its third. As an evidence of good faith,
however, oliver Morosco yesterday dis
played a telegram received from
Vaughan CHASER, owner of the play,
consenting to a thi.d week beginning
next Sunday afternoon. but stating
emphatically that no further extension
of time will be granted.
Christmas week at the Burbank, how
ever, will not be without it's novelty,
for Harry Girard has been specially
engaged to present the one-act grand
opera, Santa Claus" as a curtain
raiser to "St. Elmo" Santa Claus" Is
the composition of Harry Rowe-Shelly
and was written for Mr. Girard. 1t Is a
musicianly work, and was first sung by
Mr.. Girard at Days theater, New
York, Christmas week of 1896 Since
then he has appeared in 1t frequently
with success.
The scene is laid in q Catholic orphan
asylum, and the time Is a few minutes
before midnight of Christmas eve. san
ia comes slyly down the chimney, bent
upon filling the stockings of the little
folk He finds none, but spreads out
his toys and Is about to take his de-
parture when he is surprised by little
girl. To her he gives a big dolly, filling
her little stocking to the brim with
Christmas dainties Then he sings her
to sleep, while the back wall of the
room disappears and in the distance Is
seen a company of nuns singing a
Christmas anthem. AS the music ENDS
Santa Claus places the little tot in a
chair and disappears as he had come
through the fireplace
Ollie Waters will play the child, and
woman's chorus of twenty-five voices
will be utilized in the production.
Cal Helig, president of the North
western Theatrical association, arrived
in Los Angeles yesterday morning, 9nd
Yesterday afternoon was in conference
with oliver Morosco regarding plans for
the Majestic theater. Mr. Heilig Il
head of the association, with John Cort
as manager. through which the book
ings of the Majestic are secured. He
said yesterday that the opening of the
new Savoy theater in San Francisco
last Sunday night would have an inn
portant effect locally, and would result
in much stronger attractions being sent
to the Majestic.
The opening attraction at the Savoy
was John Cort's big revival of king

here; Dainty Zoe Barnett and William
FriendNat the head of big cast, king

month, following "Forty-five Minutes

but attracting an interest that never
flags. The lines are bright and witty,
and after the players had warmed up
to their work they were delivered with
a realism that was quite delightful-as
one of the characters would write IT,
positively quaint" Mr. Richardson
was sophomore so pathetically out of
tobacco that l had difficulty in keep
ing from mounting the stage and Of
fering him some. Jack Corbin was a
businesslike collector who bears the
brunt of some unmeriful comedy, and
Frank CArrel played the puritanical
father with as much aplomb as he
wore his brave moustachios. All the
parts were pleasantly taken, the work
of Miss Parmelee. Miss Buchanan,
Sam Dick (as the joyous trouble
maker who dared fate to come on'D
and Ben Scott, who took the part or
the masquerading prize fighter on
short notice, deserving especial praise.
Clark A. Moore struggled manfully
and at last successfully with a song
between acts, and sang II well. A
duet by Mr.. Dick and Miss Buchanan
during the second act was well re-
celved, and the student orchestra en-
tertained us finely with a musical pro-
gram under the direction of E. Ii.
Foresman.
The entire production, which was ca
pably staged, reflects great credit upon
the student body and especially under
the obviously careful training Of Miss
Terry. One hopes that dramatic pro-
ductions may become more frequent at
this institution of learning and that
the players who acquitted themselves
so well last night may soon nave the
opportunity to be seen in more pre-
tentious vehicle. There are plenty or
English comedies well fitted to the
abilities of a student cast, although
none perhaps, that can give us any
merrier moments than did Fate and
the Freshman"
In addition TO the full strength of
the Hartman company the manage
ment of the Grand opera house nave
succeeded in securing the services OF
the we'll known basso, Charles Far
well Edison, who Will sing the role OF
Brother Mathew in next weeks pro-
duction of "The Toymaker." Mr. Ed
son has won an enviable reputation as
q singer and his work is well known
to Los Angeles people.
The rehearsals for Gertrude Nelson
Andrews new play Through "A Win
dow" which will receive its initial pre-
sentation at the Belasco theater on
Monday night. December q, are well
under way and the members OF the
cast will be ready for the first dress
and scenic rehearsals next Monday.
Already many mail orders have been
received from interested playgoers in
the nearby towns The seat sale has
not yet opened.

II you want to laugh as habit, and
not a luxury, go to q good college
show. There may be pauses in en-
trance and exit, and somebody may
find his cue a bit too late. but who
cares? The college man is most fas-
cinating when he takes himself least
seriously We bear with him hero
ically at commencement time. We
welcome him on the stage or the grid
iron. He seems somehow to fill long
felt want in the American heart-the
hankering for a popular hero as ab-
surd as he is romantic.
The college man was found in trop-
ical abundance last night IN the cozy
little chapel of the University of
Southern California, where Fate and
the Freshman" was aged under the
very comnetent direction of Miss Ed
ma June Terry. He walked right into
and through score. or more OF Jolly
farcical situations. and he wound
things up by triumphing over the old
man in a way to send you on your
way rejolcing-providing you had an
atom of original misch eff in your
makeup. The father who robbed hem
houses in his youth was found out by
the son to whom he had posed as a
model-just in the nick of time to
save the youth from expu sion from
college. 1t was merely poetic justice
