Money Freely Shortly After
Disappearance of $575

The disappearance of $575 from a tin
box in the office of Swift & Co. about
the same time Gibbon Smith, butcher
living at Watts, received several hun
dred dollars from the estate of his
mother, several weeks ago, came near
getting the latter into serious trouble.
Smith bought his meats from Swift &

employees of the company, whom he
visited at the office at First street and
Santa Fe avenue.
The day the money was missed from
the office Smith is said to have been
there chatting with his friends. The
next day Smith began TO spend money
freely, and the detectives who were in
Vestigating the theft from the tin box
learned of this and began investiga-
TONS
They sought Smith and questioned
him concerning the matter Smith then
explained he had received recently an
Inheritance and had been enjoying
himself with the money. He told a
straight story and on investigation by
the officers his statements were found
to be correct, and Smith was exon
Grated.
In the meantime the theft from the
Lox is still a mystery and the de-
tectives are working on the case.

their beauty of form and color, and those

offer prize for the most perfect violin

AUDITORIUM-Mrs. Fiske and her
famous Manhattan company will pre-
sent Salvation Nell" the play of slum
life in New York which stirred the me-
tropolis for more than half the season
by reason of its wonderful realism and
faultless acting the week of June Z.
"Salvation Nell" is one of the most
absorbing roles that Mrs. Fiske has
ever created, The action passes in a
harroom of the upper West Side dubbed
by New Workers "Hells Kitchen" and
in the crowded tenement district or
Cherry Hill on the East Side.
Mrs. Fiske's part is that of Nell San
ders, a down trodden scrub woman in
a saloon, surrounded on all sides by
vice and misery in its most insidious
form.

mu1tifarious life of the streets and
slums has been bodily transpianted to
the stage. One actually sees the CON
gested life, with it's brawls, railery,
laughter, noise, squalor, bedding, hair
pulling, street music, child life and
gossip. Emphasis is laid quite as much
upon the lighter moments and joys as
upon the darker sides.

1t is not true that Jolly Violetta uses
asbestos scenery and gowns herself in
mineral wool, but-well she is from
Paris, is a Frenchy danseuse of re-
nown and warmth and has the figure
and voluptuous grace of the Gallo
women. Her dances and representations
have created furore.
Senior Armand, the Brazilian, helps
her at the shrine of Terpsichore, whom

Adellne Dunlap and Frank McCor-

Mr.. Kent in their 1.-THE Night of the
Wedding" This is a bit of real life
from the tenements-almost tragedy
of the poor. 1t has a thrilling human
interest, throws a CLEAN upon child
life in the submerged tenth, and grips
the heartstrings in a fashion quite It's

tell it's story but 1t is concerned with

as a bright days sunshine and known

with main. either acute or chronic, from
a hundred and one causes, to be put

said they can't be cured; that every
thing human has been tried. Some get

Mr.. Blanchard merits our praise and thanks for
the success of this achievement. and for the

The portrait of Mrs. Randolph Miner by
Theodores Wores. who formerly resided here,
but removed to San Francisco, engages our at
tention and interest in its treatment. The
black lace of the gown with its Jet adornment
is surprisingly well rendered the drawing is
good the effect of the whole rather striking
but as a portrait it lacks the quality most to
be desired, 1t interprets feeling. No repre-
sentaton included in this showing is more
strongly characteristic of the painter and his
manner in portraiture than the pictures by
Joseph Greenbaum. numbering FIVE four being
prominent Los Angeles woman, Mrs. Hancock
Banning. Mrs. Morris Albee, Mrs. r. Fl. Nor
ton and Mrs William Dunn, and child port
raft that of Lillian May Kahn From among
these. that of Mrs, Banning may be said to be
the best technically and pictorally. Mr..
Greenbaums landscape backgrounds are very
decorative and properly subordinate to the
portrait. He does not paint flesh with life or
delicacy.
Helma Heynsen-Jahn shows two well painted
portraits; one that of r, R. Baumgardt and
owned by the University club; the other of
Major John H. Norton previously spoken of in
this column. Mrs. Jahn's work is careful and
conscientious, and her likenesses are good.
Lillian Drains portrait of young man.
a full length figure in riding costume, is the
best rendering in figure work which Miss
Drain has shown, both in color, composition
and handling, with the exception of the face,
which is greatly marred with black shadows.

scented by life size portrait of Bishop john
son which is very we'll painted. Mrs. Melville

Royal academy This is only the second time
she has exhibited publicly in Los Angeles, but
further work will probably be seen later on.
The picture called IAN Old Fashioned Gown"

silk texture, but possesses no merits as a port
rait.
